Book Reviews of The Lords of the Realm

Book Review: Baseball owners are idiots? I'm shocked...shocked!
Summary: 5 Stars

I would add to my strong recommendation of this book a companion reading of Marvin Miller's "A Whole Different Ball Game," which gives a better treatment of the early history of labor relations in the sport, but unfortunately ends in the mid-80's, when Miller's retirement took effect. I used to think the players were a bunch of greedheads...once you know the history of the relations between owners and players, though, it's easy to understand where they're coming from.
