Cards settle grievance with Al Hrabosky for 5000
The St Louis Cardinals agree to a 5000 settlement with former pitcher Al Hrabosky. President August A Busch says the deal is about economics, not admitting fault, as pursuing the matter would cost more in legal fees. Hrabosky had sought 110000 in bonuses from his 1978 season contract with a 1979 renewal option and a 55000 add on.
