Curt Flood petitioned MLB Commissioner Bowie Kuhn for the right to entertain offers from other ball clubs. When Kuhn denied the request Flood, with the support of the MLB Players Association, responded by filing a lawsuit against the Commissioner and MLB.
The lawsuit, which charged that the reserve clause violated federal antitrust law and the 13th Amendment (abolishing slavery and involuntary servitude), was taken as high as the Supreme Court of the United States in 1970. Although the court did not rule in favor of Flood, the case and overall effort paved the way for free agency in MLB and influenced player transactions and compensation across sports going forward.
The Sports Business Handbook's rerelease features 50 game-changing moments in the sports industry, including the Black Power salute at the 1968 Olympics and George Steinbrenner's acquisition of the New York Yankees. In partnership with STAKS, author Rick Horrow has created 50 NFTs redeemable for physical artwork of these events.
Buyers will also receive an autographed copy of Horrow's book and 2 VIP tickets to the Palm Beach Kennel Club's "Lunch with a Legend" event in West Palm Beach, FL. Previous speakers have included Joe Theisman, Nat Moore, Doug Flutie, & Jack Nichalous. 5 NFT buyers will also win an all-expenses-paid dinner following the event with Rick Horrow at Kitchen North Restaurant.
