01
Artifact Overview
Members of the 1967 St. Louis Cardinals World Series championship team along with other major league players autographed this photograph. The photo belonged to the Cardinal's Gold Glove outfielder Curt Flood. A few years after this championship victory, Flood challenged baseball's Reserve Clause -- a team's right to restrict the movement of players and to control player salaries. His actions eventually led to today's free agency.
