Marvin Miller on XM with Dibs and Kevin

Mr. Miller was on for about 20 minutes, made a number of interesting comments, Dibs and Kevin both say that Miller should be in the Hall of Fame if in fact it's a "museum" as they note Jeff Idelson described it. From William C. Rhoden, New York Times, 5/22/08:

• "(Hall of Fame President Jeff) Idelson said he understood Miller’s disappointment.

• “Marvin has always been very proud

• and very emotional,” Idelson said.

• “And I have no doubt it hurt him that he wasn’t elected,"....

"Lion Who Made Players Roar Faces the Quiet," by William C. Rhoden, NY Times, 5/22/08

• Marvin Miller referenced the idea he was supposedly "emotional." Said for 20 years he'd been left off the ballot entirely and never said anything to anyone about it, so is ridiculous he's all of a sudden "emotional."

Dibs mentions Miller retired in 1982. I took other notes about the interview which I'll post later. Perhaps someone will be able to post a transcript.
