SubscribeMurray Chass on Fay Vincent on Marvin Miller
In his latest column on his website (not blog), Murray Chass praises former Baseball Commissioner Fay Vincent for including Marvin Miller in his third and final volume of interviews with baseball personalities, It’s What’s Inside the Lines That Counts (Simon and Schuster).
To Vincent’s great and lasting credit, unlike most management officials, he has not let his position of former baseball commissioner blind him to Miller’s impact on baseball. Vincent has long supported Miller’s candidacy for the Hall, both in speech and in writing. And he has included him in his latest book with such notable players as Tom Seaver, Juan Marichal, Ozzie Smith and Cal Ripken.
It really is ridiculous that Miller has been blacklisted by the Hall. I would hope he receives the honor he deserves someday soon.
