Marvin Miller was an American union leader who led the Major League Baseball Players Association, revolutionizing labor rights in professional sports by establishing free agency. Miller helped establish minimum player salaries, improved pension terms, and fought for collective-bargaining agreements for players. He counseled Curt Flood in his unsuccessful bid to establish free agency in baseball. Although Flood lost his case, Miller was able to use the ruling several years later to win the rights for other players. In doing so Miller helped change the nature of the management-player relationship not just in baseball but in all major American sports.
