As much discussion as I hear about the possibility of Marvin Miller going in and how much he deserves it, Flood is never mentioned even though their efforts made one of their careers flourish while destroying the other. Where is the justice in that?

Flood absolutely deserves to be in.

People so often overlook what a standout player Flood was when he decided to fight the system. In his last nine seasons, Flood was a .303 hitter, and he'd won 7 consecutive Gold Gloves. He received MVP votes in six of his last seven seasons. He was only 31 when he last played for the Cardinals.

Marvin miller got paid for doing what Curt Flood lost money doing. That's why I'm partial to Flood versus Miller. As a union building rep I would expect the person I was representing to be viewed as the heroic one in such an instance.

If Marvin Miler gets in then so should Scott Boras
