Finley Plans Suit Against Bowie Kuhn
Oakland A’s owner Charles O. Finley is expected to file a multi million dollar damage suit against baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn and his office. Finley’s lawyer Neil Papiano said the action seeks about 10 million dollars and an injunction against Kuhn’s order nullifying Finley’s 3.5 million sale of three star players. The Major League Players Association weighs joining Finley or filing separately, with Marvin Miller opposing any stand down that could ruin the players’ careers.
