TLS signed “Marvin J. Miller,” two pages, 8.5 x 11, Major League Baseball Players Association letterhead, April 14, 1970. Miller writes to C. F. Mueller. In part: “You are clearly correct in noting that the Major League players of several decades ago were grossly underpaid and that it is a great inequity that their employment never was covered by a pension plan…. Why is it that only in baseball do the former employees complain about the present employees, instead of complaining about the poor treatment they have received from the owners who profited by paying them inadequate salaries and failing to provide pension benefits? If a man were a former steel worker, auto worker, newspaper man—or whatever—would he complain that the present steel workers or the present newspaper men ought to provide him with a pension? Of course not….” In fine condition, with light wrinkling and file and staple holes. Auction LOA Steve Grad/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
