#FloodTheHall: How Curt Flood Changed the Game for MLB Players
Curt Flood was played for 15 seasons in the major leagues, but it was his role in challenging baseball's reserve clause in the 1960s where he truly made a name for himself. Flood's refusal to be traded to another team without his consent ultimately led to a landmark Supreme Court case that revolutionized professional sports and paved the way for free agency. This episode will explore Flood's life and legacy, focusing on his impact on the game of baseball and his enduring influence on labor relations in professional sports.
