description: The first book to utilize the files, letters, and correspondence of the Major League Baseball Player's Association,  The End of Baseball As We Knew It  replays the much-storied transformation of power from management to players that set the standard for labor relations not just in baseball but in all professional sports. Charles P. Korr also draws on interviews with ballplayers, journalists, and labor executives to construct an insider's view of the successful sports union's formative years.
