	Major League Baseball Players Association - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Players who were signed as replacement players during the 1994-1995 strike are ineligible to join (the most notable player ineligible for this reason is Kevin Millar).
		The only current player who is not a member of the MLBPA through choice is Barry Bonds, who left the union for commercial reasons.
		As of 2005, MLB is the only major league sport that does not contain a salary cap, although some speculate that that era would eventually be over with the NHL gaining a hard cap from the 2004-2005 lockout.

	Baltimore Orioles, Inc. v. Major League Baseball Players Association (1986)
		The Players argue that the district court erred in holding that a baseball player's live performance, as embodied in a [8] copyrighted telecast of the game, constitutes a work made for hire so as to extinguish the player's** right of publicity in his performance.
		Because the Players are employees and their performances before broadcast audiences are within the scope of their employment, the telecasts of major league baseball games, which consist of the Players' performances, are works made for hire within the meaning of § 201(b).
		The Players further assert that the parties' traditional practice of devoting approximately one-third of the revenues derived from nationally televised broadcasts to the Players' pension fund establishes a genuine issue of material fact as to the ownership of the copyright in these telecasts.

	Major League Baseball Players Association: MLBPA History
		Miller served as the MLBPA's executive director from 1966 through 1983, and during his tenure base salaries, pension funds, licensing rights and revenues were brought to new levels, laying the groundwork that helped create what is widely considered one of the strongest unions in the country.
		And in December 1975, the players finally won the right to free agency, when arbitrator Peter Seitz ruled that the reserve clause granted a team only one additional year of service from a player, putting an end to perpetual renewal right the clubs had claimed for so long.
		The strength of the Association can be measured in its gains, and despite work stoppages of various lengths during eight CBA negotiations, the solidarity and resolve of the players has never been stronger.
