Congrats to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum on the joint baseball labor-management $1 million grant announced today. Major League Baseball, represented by Commissioner Rob Manfred, and the Major League Baseball Players Association, represented by Executive Director Tony Clark, announced the donation today supporting the museum's operation in Kansas City.

Baseball labor-management relations have many roots in Kansas City. Former MLBPA Executive Director Don Fehr came from the former labor law firm of Jolly Walsh, as did his brother Steve Fehr, who remains a prominent players' attorney and KC resident. The court case that led to player free agency was filed in KC. And of course KC was crucial to the Negro Leagues' founding and development. Kansas Citian the late Buck "'Neill founded the museum.
