The first baseball player to successfully challenge the reserve clause and force free agency was Curt Flood. In 1970, Flood refused to report to the Philadelphia Phillies after being traded from the St. Louis Cardinals, arguing that the reserve clause violated his rights. His case went to the Supreme Court, which ultimately ruled against him, but it set the stage for the eventual establishment of free agency in Major League Baseball in 1975. Flood's actions paved the way for players to negotiate contracts freely, significantly changing the landscape of professional baseball.
