Marvin Miller

First my sincere condolences to your family, for your loss of a great man.
I worked, briefly, for Marvin as a very young person at major league baseball players association and of course, I learned much about unions and tennis!
Marvin was a thinking person who believed in unions and creating a more level playing field for the players through his wise vision, determination and lovely sense of humour.
I recall how we went together (he invited me to join him) to throw the ball in for the opening of the baseball season and then after an appropriate interval we left to watch tennis matches in a private club on the upper east side. He used to play tennis and truly loved it. But his players of baseball meant the world to him as a union man and he fought for them with vigor and created much to give them opportunity.
His ethical wisdom and positive point of view made him well loved by all who were lucky enough to know him and work with him.
God bless you Marvin Miller.
