	Players League - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Players' League was a short-lived but star-studded baseball league of the 19th century which has been ruled to be one of six leagues officially recognized as major leagues.
		Although the league was started by the players themselves, essentially as an elaborate job-action to improve their lot, the venture proved to be a setback for the players in the longer term.
		One benefit of the league, from the management standpoint, was the construction of new facilities, several of which were used for awhile by the established major league clubs.

	Major League Baseball Players Association - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Major League Baseball Players Association (or MLBPA) is the union of professional major-league baseball players.
		Players who were signed as replacement players during the 1994-1995 strike are ineligible.
		However, after enormous negative publicity surrounding the alleged or actual involvement of several star players in the BALCO steroid scandal, the players dropped their opposition to a steroid testing program and developed a consensus that favored testing.

		Players in the same division can challenge each other to a league match consisting of two games (one playing as white and one as fl) with the time control set to 3 days per move, by clicking on the "play" link next to the corresponding user name.
		If a game ends in a draw, the player from the lower division will be awarded +0.5 points and -0.5 points will be given to the player from the higher division.
		If a player is no longer in the league by the time the game ends, he/she is considered to be in the same division as when the game was started, for the purpose of calculating the league score.

	Players' League-Chapter One
		In brief, the sports leagues are cartels, whose members compete on the field but collude to varying degrees off the field in order to ensure a competitive balance among their teams to guarantee continued attendance.
		It was a co-operative, where players were investors in their clubs, player trades were by consent, and the "capitalists" (not owners) were to divide the profits equally with all the players.
		I propose an alternative view of these events: that the Players' League-- far from being doomed from birth-- very nearly succeeded in surviving the "baseball war of 1890", and had it been successful, it would have altered how professional sports are constituted for all time.

	Players League - BR Bullpen
		It was formed by the Brotherhood of Professional Baseball Players to combat the reserve clause and salary limits put in place while Brotherhood union John Ward and other players were touring overseas in the 1888-89 offseason.
		The league also came out with one of the most advanced scheduels ever, but the National League saw to counter it by scheduling home games to conflict with PL games - as a result, all teams suffered in attendance and the year was rough financially for all three major leagues.
		With the NL bluffing that it was strong financially, the Players League stopped their challenge and the NL returned to its tight salary system and reserve clause.

	Negro League Baseball: Gone But Not Forgotten
		The talent exhibited by Walker and the other fl players was unquestioned,and according to reports, began to scare white players who felt that their jobs might be in jeopardy.
		Black players were greeted more and more with "Whites Only" signs on locker room doors, and by the late 1880s, the color barrier was in full effect.
		Players were even instructed to avoid speaking English while in public and on the field.

	Players' League-Chapter 2
		At the heart of the trouble between players and management is the fact that baseball, by fiat of antitrust exemption, is a monopolistic, monopsonistic cartel, whose leaders want to operate in the style of Gilded Age magnates.
		The main difference between the leagues can be discerned by their full titles; where the National Association considered itself to be by and for the players, the NL was a league of ball club owners, to whom the players were only employees.
		Ward's and the other players' ambivalence regarding the reserve rule and the indirect compensation the players received by securing the investments of the owners came to an end in 1889 with the advent of the Brush Classification Plan.
