Playing along in today’s #ArchivesHashtagParty .. NationalArchivesNYC shares the landmark case of Curtis C. Flood vs. Bowie K. Kuhn, et. al. which paved the way for free agency in professional sports and was brought against twenty-four professional baseball teams.

Back in 1978 journalist melissa Ludtke fought for 14th Amendment rights vs. Major League Baseball since female reporters were excluded from locker room access and therefore professionally disadvantaged due to gender. #ArchivesSports @ArchivesHashtagParty #ArchivesAllAmerican
