...Rozelle rule is by no means the players' only complaint. Indeed, many of them voted recently to oust Players Association Executive Director Ed Garvey because they felt he had lost last year's strike by overstressing the Rozelle rule and other "freedom issues." More important, particularly to veterans, are the league's pension plan, insurance program and even the number of players allowed each team. Since the last contract expired in 1974, for example, the league has not contributed to the players' pension fund; they have now missed payments totaling $5 million. The players also want...
...such indignities for the Dodger fan in Boston. While the Red Sox maraude through the American League East, the Dodgers limp through the National League West. Everyone in Boston these days wants to talk about Lynn, Rice, Doyle, Wise, even Yaz. Nobody wants to hear about Messersmith, Sutton, Cey, Garvey, even Marshall.

The LA starting lineup reads like an All-Star roster for the year 1974. Steve Garvey batted .312 as he collected 200 hits and 21 home runs. Jim Wynn led the team in homers (32) and helped power the Dodgers to the NL pennant. Bill Russell, the write-in All-Star at short, and Davey Lopes carried the big bats for LA down the stretch...
