Summary:
"Examines Curt Flood's often troubled personal life and explores his
possible motives for suing Major League Baseball in 1970. For
challenging baseball's reserve system, which he likened to bondage,
the St. Louis Cardinals center fielder in time was lionized. But this
recognition came at great personal expense"--Provided by publisher.
