Time Machine: Marvin Miller and the Hall of Fame

This story originally ran in the Japanese newspaper Yukan Fuji in 2019.

TOKYO — Do you know who Marvin Miller is?

He was just recently elected to the Hall of Fame, posthumously, for induction in 2020, but his only surviving family member, a son named Peter Miller, who lives in Kamakura, has said that his father left him instructions never to cooperate with anything regarding his induction to the Hall of Fame. It was big news in the United States.

It raised the question of what the Hall of Fame should do with someone who doesn’t want to be there.
