I used to be a huge fan.

Me too. But I left when Curt Flood won his lawsuit.

Are you opposed to people being able to quit their current job and go work for someone else?

I left when from year to year the team had 50-75% new players. I remember the days of the old Cincy Reds, the team had 9 notable players.

I do believe he lost, not won, his lawsuit. It went all the way to the Supreme Court. His case against MLB did open the way to eventual full free agency for players a few years later. That is the way I remember it anyway. I could be wrong though, the old dome’s memory does not work like it used to!)
