More on Curt Flood - And Other Kellogg's Players

On this day in 1969 Curt Flood was traded.  Here'w the original trade:

Cardinals get - Dick Allen, Jerry Johnson, Cookie Rojas

Phillies get - Curt Flood, Byron Browne, Joe Hoerner, Tim McCarver

After Flood refused to report to the Phillies, St. Louis sent Willie Montanez and a minor leaguer.

In an earlier post I talk about the court case that Flood pursued - Flood Case Decided in Court.   If you get a chance to read more about Kuhn vs. Flood do so.  Kuhn was the Commissioner of Baseball at that time.
