About the Book

For those who believe in collective bargaining and who share the author's passion for baseball in a complicated world, Getting On Base captures the author's love of baseball , once shared with his father, a minor league second baseman playing in Peoria, Illinois. The labor lawyer/arbitrator and former teacher of constitutional law argues that what happens to minor leaguers is not fair. It's time for a new union to step up to the plate and challenge the MLBPA and major league owners.
