Locked Out

Talks between the MLB and MLBPA did not go well today. With another 9 hours to go before the CBA officially expires, the MLB told the MLBPA after a 7 minute meeting that “negotiations are done” and they left the building.

I think it is safe to say that the MLB is headed to their first labor lockout in 27 years.

"This charming and meticulously researched book will remind you of baseball’s power to change and enrich lives far beyond the diamond."

From Compton to the Bronx.jpg

"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.

Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."
