Supreme Court Hears Flood Baseball Suit
The Supreme Court heard Curt Floods antitrust challenge to baseballs reserve system arguing that the contract tying players to teams violates interstate commerce law. Lawyers for Flood urged removing the exemption, while defenders warned that the reserve system protects competitive balance. The case centers on Floods demand to be a free agent after being traded in 1969 with a decision anticipated by late June.
