Few, if any, non-players have had a bigger impact on the game of baseball than Marvin Miller, the legendary head of the MLB Players Association, who was elected to his position at the head of the union 57 years ago this week. With the help of Fangraphs senior writer Jay Jaffe (@Jay_Jaffe), Mike and Bill look back at his life and accomplishments, as well as players' unsuccessful efforts to organize before Miller taught them how. Then MLB.com's Michael Clair (@michaelsclair) stops by to help wish Kent Tekulve and Joe Carter happy birthdays.
