It wasn't just Curt Flood. It was Catfish Hunter, Andy Messersmith, Dave McNally and several others. The only common denominator was Marvin Miller.
Curt Flood played a part in Marvin Miller's success (just like Tommy John played a part in Dr. Frank Jobe's success), but Miller would've abolished the reserve clause if Curt Flood never played baseball.
