However, he quit the team last May and went back to Europe is he had previously gone ito business. “ia his Supreme Court appeal, Flood contended that his oe year layoff had “eroded” his skills to the point where he left the Senators and baseball.

Kuhn after the Cardinals tried to trade their star Under the system, every player is required to sign what is called a uniform player’s contract. This authorizes a club to assign the contract to any other club without consultation with the player and without his consent. ‘The system was extended for the first time in 1965 to potential new players and a semi-annual draft was devised wherein a drafted potential new player could bargain only with that club that chose him. Although the trial court rejected Flood’s suit, it observed: “From the standpoint of the professional baseball player, (the reserve system’s) effect is to deny him throughout his career freedom to choose his employer.” (UPI)— Arizona State has been puzzling coaches over the past few years, but it is one problem § consider whether organized baseball should be subjected to federal andstate antitrust laws. The court will schedule arguments this term and follow with a written opinion.
