Major League Baseball Players Benefit Plan (1997 vintage)
From WikiLeague, the free baseball governance encyclopedia.
The 1997-vintage MLBPA Benefits Plan — earlier than the 2003 version already in the archive. 39 pages. Useful for diffing the pension/benefits structure across the 1997-2001 vs 2002-2006 CBA cycles. The MLBPA Benefits Plan is amended at each CBA cycle; comparing the 1997 vs 2003 vintages would surface what changed in the 2002-2006 cycle.
