Winner of the 1994 Macmillan-SABR Baseball Research Award, Society for American Baseball Research A 1995 Choice Outstanding Academic Book Robert F. Burk is professor and chair of the history department at Muskingum College in New Concord, Ohio.
"Never Just a Game" will be useful for many economic, business, and
labor historians, even those who are not sports fans. ("Journal of
Economic History")
A detailed study of baseball's labor-management relations from the
first all-professional team, the undefeated 1869 Cincinnati Red
Stockings, to the 1919 Black Sox, an era when the owners, not the
players were in total command. (Jerome Holtzman, "Chicago
Tribune")
A fascinating story, well told. ("Choice")
Burk proves that when it comes to baseball's money issues, the more
things change--the more they stay the same. ("USA Today Baseball
Weekly")
The book will appeal to both the serious student of business
history and the layman with merely an interest in the game itself.
("Business History")
