insider   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08) Baseball has conjured up various on-field hijinks since, including aging Minnie Minoso stepping up to the plate in the Northern League to continue his streak of playing in each decade and author Pat Jordan pitching an inning in the Northeast League.

Baseball's Pivotal Era, 1945-1951:Marshall, William:0813120411:eCampus.com It was a time when fans could still identify with players, whose salaries almost resembled their own, when kids played baseball on sandlots, in pastures, and on city streets all summer long, when fans followed their team on the radio, and when practically anyone could afford to see a game in person. Robert Murphy's attempt to organize the Pirates and the Mexican League's success in luring players south led to a series of lawsuits that almost undermined baseball's reserve clause and its antitrust exemption. Out of this came spring training pay, uniform contracts, minimum salary levels, player representation, a pension plan -- and the seeds of discontent that were reaped in the early 1990s. www.ecampus.com /bk_detail.asp?isbn=0813120411b   (249 words)

Baseball Wild Card System -- Call to the Bullpen by David Maull Let us jump for joy that the evils of major league baseball's divisional structure have been conquered forever.
