Reviews

"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")
