Thanks for that, Ted.
Sounds like Mr. Mize offended front offices of the Cardinals, the New York Giants, and the Yankees. All players want 'more' money, but Mize may well have been more aggressive than others. Those strong franchises could spread the word about a player in those days. That may well have been a part of ownership and the newspapers downplaying Mize. Politics was, is, and probably always will be a vicious thing.
