Donald Fehr is stepping down as the head of the MLBPA.

The players can point to huge financial gains during his time, but just as with Bud Selig, the 1994 strike and the years-long intransigence on steroids will taint him forever.

BS. He did his job.

No one said he didn't do his job.

taken from Baseball Prospectus:


"Kruk, what I saw last night, it just upset me. He said he was mad about the 1994 World Series being canceled. Well, as I recall, Tom Glavine was running those negotiations. And if he would have wanted to fold, we would have, but we wouldn't have the things we currently have if we would have folded in '94. Donald has always done what the players asked."
—Rays reliever Joe Nelson, reacting to John Kruk's bashing of Donald Fehr on ESPN's Baseball Tonight

"Donald never showed up and injected anybody. He fought for our rights. If enough guys would have shown up to the meetings and said, 'That's it, we're steroids testing,' Donald would have pushed for that and it would have been accepted by everybody."
—Nelson, on Fehr
