It’s been 50 years since Marvin Miller revolutionized baseball – New York Post

Sunday, March 06, 2016

TAMPA — There were no announcements, nothing in the programs sold at any of the Grapefruit League or Cactus League games. Baseball is a sport that thrives because of its history, whose various anniversaries are sacrosanct.

Virgen’s View: Newport Beach Baseball Assn. produces positive atmosphere – Los Angeles Times
