What other lawyer or labor leader, he said, is given the power "to get to do what you think is the right thing to do." It is a union not run by the rank and file, but by its executive director, "as long as you make a reasonable case for doing what you think is the right thing to do," Fehr said.Wed, 24 Jun 2009 11:20:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/ted_keith/06/23/miller.union/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/ted_keith/06/23/miller.union/index.htmlIt has been said on more than one occasion that the list of baseball's most significant men is as follows: Babe Ruth, Jackie Robinson, Marvin Miller.

It may also lead to a broadening of the debate over which types of performance-enhancing substances should be prohibited in baseball. While the debate has mainly centered on strength-inducing substances, such as steroids and human growth hormone, cognitive-enhancing substances, such as amphetamines and possibly even energy drinks, may soon take center stage.Sat, 10 Jan 2009 06:14:00 ESThttp://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1836418,00.html?xid=feed-cnn-topicshttp://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1836418,00.html?xid=feed-cnn-topicsMajor League Baseball reversed its long-standing opposition to instant replay and will allow umpires to check video on home run calls in series that start ThursdayTue, 26 Aug 2008 22:00:00 EDThttp://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1718516,00.html?xid=feed-cnn-topicshttp://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1718516,00.html?xid=feed-cnn-topicsPlayers' union leader Donald Fehr would consider approving blood testing for the human growth hormone if there was a valid, efficient procedure for determining its use over an extended periodFri, 29 Feb 2008 18:00:00 ESThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/john_rolfe/02/12/clemens.circus/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/john_rolfe/02/12/clemens.circus/index.htmlMany moons ago, Mad magazine ran photos of prominent politicians with a concise expression of disgust at the bottom of each: Ecccch.Tue, 12 Feb 2008 21:31:00 ESThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/jon_heyman/01/16/heyman.congress/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/jon_heyman/01/16/heyman.congress/index.htmlRoger Clemens had another bad outing on Tuesday.

Its eponymous author, former Sen. George Mitchell, was so kindly treated by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform as some kind of unassailable hero that the committee worried more about Mitchell catching his train than explaining his methodology. Somehow back in 2005 Congress never worried such about Mark McGwire's travel plans.Wed, 16 Jan 2008 17:29:00 ESThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/david_epstein/01/15/steroids.congress/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/david_epstein/01/15/steroids.congress/index.htmlWASHINGTON -- Major League Baseball is toeing the foul line. Members of the congressional Committee on Oversight and Government Reform are still far from convinced that MLB can wage a successful, long-term war on performance-enhancing drugs, but the consensus among committee members following Tuesday's hearing was that they heard just enough so that legislative intervention will not be immediately forthcoming.Wed, 16 Jan 2008 15:55:00 ESThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/michael_mccann/01/15/cong.hearing.qa/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/michael_mccann/01/15/cong.hearing.qa/index.htmlBaseball commissioner Bud Selig, union head Donald Fehr and former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell testified about baseball's steroids issue before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on Tuesday.
