...against the greatest team of post-war baseball, the Indians with 111 victories in a 154-game season, and a pitching staff of Lemon, Wynn, Garcia and an aging but able Bob Feller. I bet every cent I won (about two bucks) at long odds on the hometown boys, and the Giants win in 4 as Dusty Rhodes emerges from the bench into ephermeral glory. I end up with about 12 bucks and considered myself the richest kid in town...
...talking about opportunity. In 1966, determined to break up the black alliance of Frank Robinson and Vada Pinson, the Cincinnati Reds traded Robinson to Baltimore. (It is axiomatic in this situation that teams always move the wrong man; in the next era, Houston would separate Joe Morgan and Jimmy Wynn by sending Morgan to Cincinnati.) Baltimore's General Manager Harry Dalton had an idea that, since the city was predominantly black, perhaps a black superstar would stimulate black attendance. Robinson had a perfect year in 1966, winning the American League Triple Crown and prodding the Orioles to a World Series...

Unfortunately, it is struggling without the tactical support of its own national unions and the AFL-CIO. The national union, whose president is William Wynn, opposes P-9's strategy. Last week Lane Kirkland, president of the AFL-CIO, announced that the industry-wide union would not endorse the actions of P-9. In addition to the national union, the AFL-CIO, and of course the Hormel company, the small Austin union has made another eneme--the National Guard, which in January cleared the way for workers hired to replace the strikers...
Although the national union still provides strike benefits to the Austin strikes, it has also accused the militant local leaders of being "false prophets" who mislead the workers they represent. Wynn has gone so far as to liken the strategies of the Austin leaders to Nazistyle propaganda. Such denunciations by the national unions are rather hypocritical for leaders who nominally act to fight against management attacks on the working lives of their members...
