Ronald Reagan's ascension to the presidency marked the beginning of a great downturn for organized labor. Since this time, American unions have struggled to gain the same kinds of compensation and benefits they so often won in the decades immediately following World War II. A corresponding decline in public opinion toward organized labor accompanied this trend, compounding the troubles of unions nationwide. Major League Baseball is one of the only industries that counters this pattern. Professional baseball players long sought many of the same gains, such as freedom of contract, higher minimum salaries, and pension benefits, as workers in other industries. Baseball's owners rejected these player demands, using methods ranging from blacklists to the cooptation of highly paid star players. As a result, player efforts to unionize baseball foundered until 1966. Baseball's first successful union, the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA), rose to prominence just as the national backlash against labor began. Thanks to effective leadership from Marvin Miller, it succeeded in the face of staunch public opposition and an ownership group whose monopolistic practices were protected by an antitrust exemption.

520 $a Several historians have chronicled professional baseball's labor history. This project adds to that literature by paying especially close attention to the important role played by public opinion in the unionization of major league baseball. Baseball is an extremely public venture. The health of its revenue streams is entirely dependent on public support for the game, its teams, and its players. Examination of public and media reaction shows growing acceptance of the union and the aims of its members, even as increasing player salaries resulted in higher ticket and concession prices. Sources include the works and private papers of major sports columnists, thousands of contemporary newspaper accounts, financial data on club revenues and player salaries, fan letters and interviews, archival sources from Major League Baseball's Giamatti Research Center in Cooperstown, the Marvin Miller Papers at NYU, Ronald Reagan's Presidential Papers, and the wealth of recent literature on the business of baseball.
