Baseball Owners Push Divisional Play Amid Pay Debates
The American League proposal for 1968 divisional play sparks major talks as the Players Relations Committee expands to seven, tackling reserve clause changes and a minimum salary boost from 7 000 to 17 000 while meal money and other benefits draw near equal focus. A poll of 466 players reveals many at the 7 000 minimum and notes on 10 players earning 10 000 or less, with tips cutting food money and uniforms. Expansion plans hint at four new clubs, likely in Oakland or Seattle for the Athletics, and bids from Kansas City, Milwaukee, Dallas-Fort Worth, New Orleans, Indianapolis, Denver, Toronto, and San Diego influence league strategy.
