Flood's Suit Before Court
Curt Flood's legal challenge to the baseball reserve clause goes to federal court in New York. The case seeks to end the clause's control over players, with Flood seeking an injunction to force his trade from the St. Louis Cardinals to the Philadelphia Phillies. Flood, paid 90000 annually, hires Arthur J. Goldberg to represent him as Marvin Miller and the players association back Flood against club owners who defend the clause as essential to baseball. Major league presidents Cronin and Feeney defend the clause, while Carl Yastrzemski opposes Flood, urging a poll of all 600 players.
