@Dan The MLBPA faced a different legal battle than any other major sports union, so there was arguably more to be achieved by baseball players.

@Brian Miller has asked his survivors not to accept a posthumous induction on his behalf. It doesn’t mean that he won’t be inducted, just that his family probably won’t acknowledge it publicly if they stand by his wishes.

I’ve always wondered if Miller would have been as successful representing the NFLPA instead of MLB players. There is such a big difference between what the two associations have achieved for their players.

Marvin Miller was the man who brought workers out of the 19th century into the late 20th century in the MLB industry. The Hall of Fame should elect him in 2013. He will not be forgotten.
