Time bomb looms over baseball as Kuhn watches standoff
Baseball Commissioner Bowie Kuhn sits in mid Manhattan offices, powerless to halt a looming players strike. With labor laws boosting player independence and the reserve clause dead, Kuhn acts only in advisory fashion, maintaining contact with owners and negotiator Ray Grebey while Miller and the union press the terms of compensation and free agency.
