Abstract
The CDF Collaboration has adapted several heavy flavor tagging techniques and employed them in analyses of time-dependent flavor asymmetries using data from the Tevatron Run I. The tagging algorithms were calibrated using low-P_t inclusive lepton and dilepton trigger data samples. The tagging techniques were applied to a sample of \sim 400 B^0_d/B-bar^0_d -> J/psi K^0_s decays and were used to measure the CP violation parameter, sin(2 Beta). Prospects for future improved measurements of the CP violation parameters at the Tevatron are briefly discussed.
