Thanks to a journalist 3,000 miles away, Les Cain’s quest for a pension from Major League Baseball is getting a new life.
Cain’s inability to obtain a pension isn’t from a lack of trying. He’s contacted several attorneys over the years, but found that, “At every turn, they just turn their back like I didn't even exist.”
Gladstone is s a freelance journalist and lifelong baseball fan living in New York State. In 2010, he published. The book delved deeply into a 1980 deal between MLB and the player’s union, which left hundreds of players from Cain’s generation out of the pension program. "'Well, if you're due a pension, what're you waiting for?” Gladstone asked Cain during their first phone conversation. “Why don't you try …’ And he cut me off and said, 'Don't you think I've tried? I've had attorneys look at this for years.”
“You know when you see something that isn't right, that's not fair, that isn't just, you have to speak up. You have to say something. You have to do something,’” said Gladstone. “That's why I chose to try to help a man who lives 3,000 miles away from me.”
