I'm really not pleased with the results of who got in -Simmons and Miller -and felt that there were great cases to be made for the other players. Maybe next time but Whitaker was a one and done in 2001 which is really surprising.

Can anyone explain why Marvin Miller is a HOFer but Curt Flood isn't? If I recall correctly, only one of them sacrificed anything for free agency and the other is in the HOF.

I’m not sure level of sacrifice is a factor for induction. Curt Flood gave up the free agency fight while Miller kept working on it years after Flood quit baseball.

If it's chicken or the egg and Miller's candidacy relies on the egg, you don't get there without Flood. He is the contributor, not 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. |

That is just not true. It was Flood v Kuhn, not anyone else. Not one active player (not Hunter, not Messersmith, not McNally or anyone else) attended the trial or testified during it. The Curt Flood Act was passed in 1998. It was not called the Marvin Miller Act or named after anyone else.

Flood lost the case, don't forget.
Do you know who did testify for him?
