Two Old Pieces Posted to Site.
I've converted two of my old SABR convention presentations to HTML and added them to the site.
In the first, the text of my talk at the 1995 convention in Pittsburgh (the first convention after the Business of Baseball Committee was formed, just before the strike), I summarize the issues in the labor dispute, trash the owners' proposed salary cap, and contend that their stated concerns could be addressed through 30% local revenue sharing.
The second is a handout from the 1998 convention, entitled 30 Years of Collective Bargaining Agreements. It presents, for each season from 1967 through 1998, MLB's minimum salary, average salary, and annual pension contribution, as well as other developments on the labor front.
