Black and white photograph of baseball player Curt Flood. Flood is sitting at a desk or table wearing dark slacks, a black shirt and a blazer. His hands are together with fingertips touching. A pair of sunglasses sits on the table. Flood is wearing a small microphone on his collar and appears to be giving an interview. The bottom right corner of photo is blurred but may be the shoulder of the person at whom Flood is looking. The wall behind Flood is decorated with photographs of St. Louis Cardinals players. There are red ink marks in margins for cropping purposes. Tribune captions affixed to back of the photo read, "OCT 28 1976 [stamped in blue ink] Where It All Started Back in 1969, Curt Flood took baseball to court rather than accept the trade that sent him from St. Louis to Philadelphia. He lost his battle challenging the reserve clause, but next week 25 free agents will start reaping what originally was sown by Flood. Curt Flood won't. See Ed Levitt's column. Tribune photo by RUSS REED." & "JUN 12 1978 [stamped in blue ink] Curt Flood returns to Cardinal glory.
