Extract
Much More Than a Game: Players, Owners, and American Baseball Since 1921 is the second of two books, the first published in 1994, by Robert F. Burk, Professor of History at Muskingum College, dealing with labor relations, broadly defined, in major-league baseball. Burk has drawn upon extensive primary and secondary sources concerning baseball, and provides readers interested in understanding the economics, history, and economic history of this rather unusual and exciting labor market with much useful information and analysis. Burk provides very useful information on salaries in the minor leagues and describes the changing ethnic composition of the industry's labor force. He also provides material on the history of the minor leagues and of the Negro leagues.
