Passed away this morning at 95.
Completely changed the game after owners ruled it with an iron fist for 100 years. Lip |

Yep, he negotiated the first CBA and then completely earned the vitriol and hatred of the owners by getting the reserve clause ****canned a few years later to bring in modern free agency.
RIP to someone who may have been the most important figure in the game in the past 50 years. |

His book "A Whole Different Ballgame" is a must read.
He belongs in the Baseball Hall of Fame. Maybe he will get due recognition now.
