I was disappointed by your response to a letter in the April issue when you stated that "Marvin Miller created a spirit of meanness and hostility against baseball ownership."

Please wipe your tears. Miller was hired by the players to change their status. Do you remember their status?

That status was defined by our revered Supreme Court who told Curt Flood he had to go to Philadelphia because his master (St. Louis Cardinal ownership) had sold him.

The players were dirt under the owners' hoots. It was the owners' game, not the players' game. Miller did what each and every worker desires from a labor negotiator. He fought exclusively for their rights.

In 1983, Fergie Jenkins started 29 games for the Chicago Cubs, and had only 15 decisions (six wins and nine losses).
