Podcasts about Curt Flood

A name so few know ... Danny Gardella. Gardella played for the New York (baseball) Giants (now the #SFGiants) in 1944 and 1945. Then he battled management about his salary. Instead of accepting what the Giants offered, he challenged the reserve clause and lost. Rather than accept the terms, he opted to play elsewhere, in the Mexican League. It cost Danny his career. Banned from the Majors, Gardella did get one more opportunity to play in the Majors, with the St. Louis #Cardinals in 1950. But he only appeared in one game, and that was it. The Cardinals didn't see a future for Danny on their roster, demoted him to AA, and Danny never saw the light of day in Major League Baseball game again. Of course, those that followed and who challenged the reserve met with much more success, such as Curt Flood and Andy Messersmith. The free agents of today do not have to work within the confines of the reserve clause. But Danny did, and while he won a small sum of money in a lawsuit against #MLB, he lost his entire career. On this episode of Sports' Forgotten Heroes, we take a look back at the brief career of Danny Gardella and his fight with MLB and the New York Giants about the reserve clause with my guest Robert Elias who authored the book, "Dangerous Danny Gardella."

What role does the MLB Players Association really play—and why should even high school athletes and their families care? In this episode of The Most Valuable Agent, Matt Hannaford sits down with Tony Clark, former All-Star and current Executive Director of the MLBPA, for an unfiltered conversation about the past, present, and future of baseball. From being a first-round draft pick to now representing thousands of professional athletes, Tony shares a rare, insider look at how labor rights, player empowerment, and education off the field are just as crucial as what happens between the lines. Together, they explore: ⚾️ The formation and purpose of the MLBPA ⚾️ The legacy of Curt Flood, Marvin Miller, and the '94 strike ⚾️ The union's role in youth baseball, NIL, and mental health support ⚾️ Why young players must understand the business of the game ⚾️ How to become the CEO of your own career This episode is a must-listen for prospects, parents, coaches, and fans who care about the soul of the sport—and the people in it.

Jim is joined by St. Louis Post-Dispatch sports columnist and Hall of Fame voter Benjamin Hochman to break down the HOF candidacy of former St. Louis Cardinals centerfielder Curt Flood. First, Benjamin and Jim cover Flood's legacy as a trailblazer in the world of professional sports and workers' rights (11:33). Next, they discuss Flood's role on two Cardinals World Series championship teams, how as a player Flood compares favorably to Hall of Fame center fielder Richie Ashburn, and Flood's relatively high WAR total in just 12 full MLB seasons (17:11). Finally, Benjamin and Jim break down the significance of the fact that only Roberto Clemente, Hank Aaron, and Brooks Robinson had more hits than Flood in the 1960s (39:18), before both stating whether or not they believe he deserves a plaque in Cooperstown (44:33).

This week we look at Curt Flood going to Washington. Bean Balls that changed lives - Ray Chapman and Tony C, Power steals by Vic Power, and lost icon as Mickey Mantle Passes away, One incredible streak by Jack Taylor. Listen to our new section on Fan Stories - today we thank Ray Wilson.On Episode 3 – we are backstepping through August 12 – 18th.On September 27, 1940, what Detroit Tiger bullpen catcher was knocked out cold when hit over the head with a case of tomatoes?On August 12, 1970 — 1970 – Judge Irving Ben Cooper rules against Curt Flood in his antitrust suit. Cooper says “Decisions of the Supreme Court are not lightly overruled… We find no general or widespread disregard of the extremely important position the player occupies… Clearly, the preponderance of credible proof does not favor the elimination of the reserve clause.” However, the judge says changes in the reserve clause should be made through negotiation but denies Flood damages. Flood will appeal the decision to the Supreme Court but in vain.Flood, of course, blazed the trail with his actions for Free Agency. I heard from some fans they are unhappy Flood changed baseball history with his movement, but I don't see it that way. Free Agency caused players like Carlton Fisk to move on, which I covered in season 1, but it also brought Kirk Gibson to LA. One Amazing streak comes to an end.On August 13, 1906 — At Washington Park in Brooklyn, John "Brakeman" Taylor is replaced by a reliever for the first time since June of 1901 when the Brooklyn Superbas knock him out of the game in the third inning. During the five-year span, the Orphans' right-hander completed a remarkable 1,727 innings of work that included 187 consecutive complete games, as well as finishing up 15 games in relief, during this stretch of 202 appearances he was not relived once. In 10 years, he will fail to finish only eight of 286 starts.The Orphans, who will become the Cub's however dismantled the Superbas, later to be named the Dodgers 11-3 and Orval Overall will pick up the W. In a 15 game series vs the upstart Chicago White Sox, Rumors swirled about the series, with James A. Hart accusing Taylor of having “laid down” against the Sox in his last three starts. He was traded in the offseason on 1903 from the team and then reacquired during the 1906 season. Taylor retired after the 1907 season when the Cub's would win their first of 2 straight World Series. On August 14, 1958, Vic Power of the Cleveland Indians steals home twice in the same game. His second stolen base gives the Indians a 10-9 win in 10 innings. Not known for his base-stealing ability, Power will finish the season with only three stolen bases.During his 12-year career Power will steal 45 total bases and get caught 35 times, he stole 9 twice and in 1959 he had a career-high 9 steaks and 13 caught stealing. Power mainly a starter, also appeared 4 times in his career as a pinch-runner, at age 36 and 38. He also once got out of a jam on the base paths by running directly towards the fielder running with the ball, while waving his arms in the air. He flustered him enough that he threw the ball to someone else instead of tagging Power.Needless to say, despite his amazing feat, Ty Cobb was never concerned by Vic. August 15, 1995 - At the request of the Mantle family, Bob Costas delivers the eulogy at Mickey's funeral. The popular broadcaster, known for his love of the game and his admiration of the Yankee superstar, describes the Hall of Famer as "a fragile hero to whom we had an...

We had such a good time last year in Episode 401 talking with Author Michael Ortman who wrote 'Opening day 50 for 50' where he recounted attending 50 straight opening days.  We talked about some of this year's opening day matchups, why some pitchers are declining to take the opening day start, which was unthinkable not that long ago! We also get serious and talk again about Curt Flood, Dick Allen, and that they both should be in the Hall of Fame and maybe will get there this winter when the Classic Baseball Committee meets on players, execs, umpires and influencers in baseball before 1980 are re-looked at to see whose been overlooked.

This week we finally talk in great detail what the Baseball Hall of Fame means to us and why we're so picky about who goes in, who gets to stay, and who gets the heave ho. Continuing our This Week In Baseball, we discuss the landmark lawsuit by Curt Flood against MLB and their reservce clause while discussing just how important it was and how important Flood was to baseball.Our Hall of Famer this week is early 20th century pitcher Red Faber. He's looking better than last week's contestant, but if that man was just a diet Red Faber, how good does that make Faber? For our parting shots we discuss the memorable moments of being present at two Phillies Opening Days, the anniversary of Pete Rose's admission, and how folks need to chill about arbitration hearings. Please join us as we discuss baseball topics and we continue our mission to make The Hall small. We hope you'll enjoy the ride.TimestampsThis Week In Baseball - 34:11Hall of Fame Discussion - 51:34Parting Shots - 1:02:40

Bill Lamb is our guest this week to discuss the sad and tragic Len Koenecke. Koenecke played three seasons for the Brooklyn Dodgers during the Great Depression. The Dodgers released Koenicke in September, 1935 while the team was in St. Louis and sent him home to New York by plane with two other players. Koenecke never made it home in a story filled with both mystery and tragedy.Bill Lamb, an award-winning researcher and writer with the Society of American Baseball Research (SABR) and Koenecke's biographer on the SABR to relive Koenecke's life, baseball career and fateful journey on that September day and night in 1935. Bill Lamb's biographical essay about Len Koenecke.Errata: Len Koenecke set a fielding percentage record for National League outfielders in 1935. That record was broken by Harry Craft in 1940. The first qualifying National League center fielder to field 1.000 in a season was Curt Flood in 1966 -- the most recent was Brandon Nimmo in 2022.Episodes referenced:142 - The 1919 Black Sox w/ Jacob Pomrenke 159 - Hidden Histories: Baseball's Deadball Era Photographs w/ Jim Chapman178 - Called Up to the Major Leagues w/ Zak Ford -->Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/tT8d3pVUsN-->You can support Hooks & Runs by purchasing books, including the books featured in this episode, through our store at Bookshop.org.

Baseball lore and history is filled with many valuable players, and not all of them are the Hall of Famers you know. In The One Hundred Most Important Players in Baseball History (Artemesia Publishing, 2023) Lincoln A. Mitchell highlights the one hundred players who have had the biggest impact on baseball, popular culture, and history through their careers inside or outside of baseball. You'll find stories about famous players like Babe Ruth and Jackie Robinson, but also lesser known but deeply impactful baseball players like Curt Flood, Hal Chase, and Felipe Alou. For over 120 years baseball has been a deep part of American life as folk culture and big business, but for just as long it has also been central to race relations, labor issues, global conflicts, and the songs of Bob Dylan. These one hundred players have influenced not only America's pastime but the country as well. Paul Knepper covered the New York Knicks for Bleacher Report. His first book, The Knicks of the Nineties: Ewing, Oakley, Starks and the Brawlers That Almost Won It All was published in 2020.

In The One Hundred Most Important Players in Baseball History (Artemesia Publishing, 2023) Lincoln A. Mitchell highlights the one hundred players who have had the biggest impact on baseball, popular culture, and history through their careers inside or outside of baseball. You'll find stories about famous players like Babe Ruth and Jackie Robinson, but also lesser known but deeply impactful baseball players like Curt Flood, Hal Chase, and Felipe Alou. For over 120 years baseball has been a deep part of American life as folk culture and big business, but for just as long it has also been central to race relations, labor issues, global conflicts, and the songs of Bob Dylan. These one hundred players have influenced not only America's pastime but the country as well. Paul Knepper covered the New York Knicks for Bleacher Report. His first book, The Knicks of the Nineties: Ewing, Oakley, Starks and the Brawlers That Almost Won It All was published in 2020.

We're back! Iconic ex-roommate duo, Danaka and Nic, join me on the pod to go through the history of America's passtime. There's sure as hell a lot of shady business doings here! We'll talk about how labor relations for players have improved (and not!) over pro ball's 100+ year history. My major focus this episode was on Curt FLood, the guy who paved the way for players to be able to ore freely negotiate their contracts, which was NOT a fixture of baseball for a looooong time. Last season was serious as hell, so it's time to get fucking silly! These first three episodes are all a futile attempt at understanding and communicating about sports. Apparently people know a LOT about it, like Danaka and Nic! But if you're a girlypop like me looking for a solid introduction to the sport, here's your chance. Mwah!

1. As we continue our 2022 Cleveland Guardians position reviews, we dedicate most of the show reviewing the great rookie season by Steven Kwan. There is a faction of fans who would like to see Kwan move to centerfield and we briefly touch on that. We also get into historical comps for Kwan, which were particularly difficult, as Steven Kwan is a bit of a unicorn in terms of his player profile. We discuss his place in history among Cleveland rookies and try to look at comparable contracts for an extension for Kwan. To finish up the show, we look ahead to the future of left field for the Guardians, which should not be something they have to worry about for a while.2. Some of the statistical comps we came up with were Curt Flood, Johnny Damon, Adam Eaton, Bill Mueller, and Brett Gardner.3. The last outfielder Cleveland signed to an extension was Michael Brantley, who took a 4/$25 million deal before he broke out. That won't be enough to sign Kwan now, but recent contract extensions for Michael Harris and Kevin Kiermaier seem reasonable. And as far as rookies that could succeed Kwan in left field are years away, hopefully, and could be drafted in the 2023 draft. Some future in house options may be Joe Lampe and Guy Lipscomb Jr.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

"After Jackie" premieres Saturday 6/18 at 8 PM ET on The HISTORY Channel. Bob Kendrick sits down with award-winning filmmaker Stanley Nelson to talk about his latest project, "After Jackie", a co-production with LeBron James' Uninterrupted.

Why has Oakland produced so many all-star athletes? This is the question that propels Paul Brekke-Miesner's book “Home Field Advantage: The City That Changed the Face of Sports” through decades of local history, from the playgrounds to stadiums. His exploration helps explain not only the origins of this highly concentrated pool of athletic ability, but also why so many local stars have used their visibility to call attention to social struggles, long before Colin Kaepernick famously took a knee to protest police violence. An Oakland native who grew up playing ball in the Eastmont neighborhood and began covering sports at Castlemont High more than half a century ago, Brekke-Miesner brings deep knowledge about such iconic athletes as Bill Russell, Ricky Henderson, Frank Robinson, Curt Flood and many others to our conversation in this episode. Along the way, we also discuss the impact of Prop. 13 on youth sports, some very unlikely superstars, and why The Town might be better off without the billionaire owners who keep breaking our hearts.
