| Summary: | Baseball survived the 'sixties, but the game's awkward evolution was far from over, and in a sense America's national pastime was now entering its most difficult period. This program looks at baseball during the 1970s and beyond, exploring the creation of the free agent system, a ballooning rise in player salaries, additional expansion of the Major Leagues, and ongoing conflicts between labor and management. Drug scandals are another important topic. Offsetting the tragedy of Roberto Clemente's untimely death are triumphs garnered by the Cincinnati Reds, the Oakland A's, the players' union, and others. |
