Flood v. Kuhn: Fifty Years Later
Saturday, August 20, 2022
Hyatt Regency Inner Harbor
Baltimore, MD
Fifty years ago, on June 19, 1972, the United States Supreme Court ruled against Curt Flood in his effort to dismantle baseball’s reserve clause. During the SABR 50 convention from 1:30-2:30 p.m. EDT on Saturday, August 20 in Baltimore, we’ll be joined by Judy Pace Flood, Curt Flood’s widow and a pioneering African American actress; Mark Armour, award-winning baseball historian and SABR Board President; and moderator Shakeia Taylor for a discussion of the Flood v. Kuhn case a half-century later.
This panel is open to all SABR 50 convention attendees. Full registration and single-day rates are available on-site at the Hyatt Regency Inner Harbor during the convention. To learn more about SABR 50, or to register online, visit SABR.org/convention.
