4103, drawn on the account of the Curt Flood Youth Foundation at Bank of America, Los
Angeles, California, payable to Curtis Flood for $40.00. Filled out and signed in Flood's
hand. Curt Flood (1938-1997) played Major League Baseball from 1956 to 1969, and made a
brief reappearance in 1971. Flood was a reliable hitter who topped .300 three times in an era
when pitching dominated the game. But Flood's greatest talent was in centerfield, which he
roamed for the St Louis Cardinals, beginning in 1958. One of the finest defensive players of
any era, Flood had 223 consecutive games without an error, and made no errors at all in 1966.
A three-time All-Star, he won seven consecutive Gold Glove awards. He played in all seven
games of three World Series for the Cardinals: victories over the Yankees and Red Sox in 1964
and 1967, and a loss to the Tigers in 1968. He was one of only four Cardinals to appear on all
three teams. After the 1969 season, the Cardinals traded Flood to the Phillies. Flood refused
to go and challenged the "reserve clause" which had long denied players the right to negotiate
with multiple terms for the best offer. He sat out the 1970 season, taking his suit against
Major League Baseball and Commissioner Bowie Kuhn all the way to the Supreme Court.The
Major League Players Association endorsed his suit, but not one active player was willing to
appear in court on his behalf.
