THE WAY IT IS

by Curt Flood with Richard Carter

  • Used
  • Paperback
  • first
This is a very solid paperback copy of ex-baseball player Curt Flood's story of his life thus far (1972), distiguished by both by his excellence as a professional athlete, but also for his determined legal battle to overcome Major League Baseball's RESERVE CLAUSE, an ironclad rule which restricted player contract free agency (and thus, bargaining power).
