作者简介

Robin Roberts pitched in the Major Leagues from 1948-1966 and was known primarily for his years with the Philadelphia Phillies (1948-1961). He was the ace of the Phillies' pitching rotation in the 1950s and the star of the 1950 pennant-winning Whiz Kids. Known for his fastball and his ability to pitch the entire game, Roberts recorded 2,357 strikeouts and 305 complete games. Roberts' 4,689 total innings pitched places him 18th on the all-time list. He led the National League in most wins four straight years beginning with his high-water mark in 1952 of 28-7. After several years of being the Phillies' players' union representative, he was named the NL Player Representative in 1954. In 1966 Roberts introduced and lobbied for Marvin Miller to become executive director of the Players' Association. After he became the Players' Association executive director, Miller became the key figure in the creation of free agency in baseball. That act, begun by Roberts, changed the way baseball - and eventually all professional American sports - structured the player-management relationship. Roberts and his wife, Mary, live in Florida.C. Paul Rogers III is the Professor of Law and former Dean of the Dedman School of Law of Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. He is also of counsel to the Locke Liddell & Sapp Law Firm in Dallas. This is Paul's fourth book. In addition to penning an antitrust text book, Paul has written three books on baseball including The Whiz Kids and the 1950 Pennant. Paul is the president of the Hall-Ruggles (Dallas-Fort Worth) Chapter of the Society for American Baseball Researchers. Paul lives in Dallas and has three daughters and a new grandchild, his first.
