1
00:00:10.460 --> 00:00:11.860
I don't think so.

2
00:00:11.860 --> 00:00:13.100
I don't think it was a put out.

3
00:00:15.020 --> 00:00:21.280
Is there a chance that the owners will open the gates to those players who want to return and play ball?

4
00:00:22.420 --> 00:00:22.420


5
00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:24.920
How much money was there in this matter in the past?

6
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:31.600
There was gains. Some of the gains were used in the 1969 negotiations.

7
00:00:31.900 --> 00:00:41.640
They are convinced that the demand for a 17% increase in pension benefits is unreasonable.

8
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:50.040
They voted to reaffirm the position of their player relations committee.

9
00:00:50.040 --> 00:00:58.740
They instructed their committee to continue negotiations with the players association

10
00:01:01.040 --> 00:01:09.980
to attempt to resolve the differences and achieve a renewal of the pension agreement.

11
00:01:10.520 --> 00:01:16.900
Actually the owners are so eager to get baseball started again that we're trying every way we can

12
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:20.260
to do it in a reasonable way.

13
00:01:21.100 --> 00:01:30.680
We're hoping that Marvin Miller will relent just a little bit and allow the owners to reasonably get together with him

14
00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:34.240
and not just continue baseball.

15
00:01:34.360 --> 00:01:36.920
We go along with all the clubs. I think we have to hang together in this one.

16
00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:42.580
Just as the players are hanging together and hope that collectively we can work it out and get back to playing baseball quickly.

17
00:01:43.140 --> 00:01:48.640
If there are any differences left over, we'll work them out while the baseball season is underway.
