Riassunto

Labor disputes in baseball go back a full century before the 1994 Major League strike that devastated a season. The sport's first labor crisis, in 1890, was precipitated by Hall-of-Famer John Montgomery Ward, a pitcher, hitter, and infielder who was one of professional baseball's first big stars. Ward set up baseball's first union and led a players' revolt against National League owners by setting up the Players' League, which survived for just a year but foretold a century of conflict between players and owners. Di Salvatore's biography provides a portrait of Ward, the evolution of baseball, and American life a hundred years ago. Includes several pages of b&w photographs, reproduced newspaper clippings, and other memorabilia. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
