MLB MLBPA pension reform sadly is not a new challenge. The late Early Wynn (1920-1999), MLBPA pension reform advocate: “Modern ballplayers tell us, ‘Too bad, you should have invested better. But on salaries of 10 to 15 thousand dollars a year, how many investments could you…

I really suggest all of your readers get a copy of @GLADSTONEWRITER "A Bitter Cup of Coffee: Extra Innings Edition; How MLB and The Players Association Threw 874 Retirees a Curve" - which explains how the union turned their backs on guys like Cooper. amzn.to/3QjqfkP
