St. Louis Cardinals are in search of an identity that will match their colorful new manager. From 1980 to 1982, Whitey Herzog would serve as GM and would engage in some of the wildest transactions for his time. While he dealt superstars, slashed salaries, and brought in guys that played his kind of game, American labor found itself pitted against the anti-union bias of the Reagan administration. One union had emerged from the Long Seventies more powerful than its colleagues, and with it won emancipation and dignity for its members: The MLBPA. Led by Marvin Miller, the Player's Union would be begin a 16 year struggle for recognition and labor rights, changing the sport into the modern game that we have it today. While Herzog swapped big names between San Diego and Chicago, the players were readying for a showdown against the owners over free agency. Following the 1981 Strike, Herzog would finish arming a death star that would plague the NL for the next 5 years, this despite him never fully appreciating how the MLBPA set the stage for the Runnin' Redbirds to take place.
