Arguments Heard In Flood Baseball Suit
Former Supreme Court justice Arthur J. Goldberg told the Supreme Court that baseballs reserve clause violates antitrust laws and the constitution’s antislavery amendment. He said the clause creates a group blacklist affecting players like Curt Flood across the United States and abroad. Attorneys for club owners argued the issue belongs to collective bargaining and warned that abolishing the clause would hurt competitive balance. The court took the case under advisement with a ruling expected by June.
