Former St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Curt Flood's objection to the old Major League Baseball reserve clause in 1969 helped usher in the advent of free agency. In addition, Flood was a three-time All-Star, seven-time Gold Glove winner and two-time World Series champion.
That stellar resume somehow hasn't landed him in the Baseball Hall of Fame, but members of Congress want to change that.
Per the Associated Press (h/t ESPN.com), members of Congress sent a letter to the Hall of Fame on Thursday imploring the Hall's Golden Days Committee to enshrine Flood, who played 15 seasons from 1956 to 1971 (12 for the Redbirds).
