Though he was a man of great courage and foresight, Curt Flood could not have known when he refused to be traded from the St. Louis Cardinals to the Philadelphia Phillies nearly 30 years ago that his actions would lead to the passage of this historic law.....As a tribute to Curt's vital contributions to the enactment of this legislation, please accept the enclosed signing pen and redline copy of the bill...."
