Talk:Andy Messersmith
It seems to me that in comparing Curt Flood with Messersmith, Flood fought the fight harder, but Messersmith's actions (or inactions as it were) had the greater effect. By not signing his 1975 contract, he (and Dave McNally also) dealt the reserve clause a blow when it went to arbitration. --Just me 19:26, 13 January 2007 (EST)
