Harry Marino (born July 14, 1990) is an American attorney, workers’ rights advocate, and former minor league baseball player. He led the historic drive to organize 5,500 minor league baseball players into a union and helped negotiate the players’ first collective bargaining agreement. [1]
Professional Baseball Career
Marino spent three seasons in the Arizona Diamondbacks and Baltimore Orioles organizations and pitched for five different minor league teams, the Delmarva Shorebirds, Aberdeen Ironbirds, Arizona Complex League Diamondbacks, Quebec Capitales, and Joliet Slammers. [2]Marino’s experiences with substandard working conditions as a minor league baseball player shaped his passion for labor advocacy and organizing.[3]
Law, Advocacy and Organizing
Marino was the Executive Director of Advocates for Minor Leaguers, [1]a non-profit labor advocacy organization that accomplished its mission within two years of his taking over. During that time, the organization waged a public relations campaign that brought significant attention to the mistreatment of minor league baseball players, successfully lobbied Congress to reexamine baseball’s antitrust exemption, and won free housing and other concessions for players.
Marino served as a law clerk to the Honorable Karen LeCraft Henderson of the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit and the Honorable J. Frederick Motz of the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. He practiced law at Williams & Connolly LLP before joining Advocates for Minor Leaguers and later served as Assistant General Counsel of the Major League Baseball Players Association.[4]
Education
Marino earned his J.D. from the University of Virginia School of Law, where he received recognition for his advocacy and authored a note that was published in the Virginia Law Review. He received his B.A. from Williams College, where he double majored in Political Science and English and concentrated in Legal Studies.[5]
