Source: "Hired by union executive director Marvin Miller as general counsel in 1967, Moss argued the 1975 case involving pitchers Andy Messersmith and Dave McNally that led to arbitrator Peter Seitz striking down the reserve clause. That provision for a unilateral one-year renewal had been included in every contract since 1878 and had enabled teams to control players by maintaining those agreements could be extended perpetually. Seitz decided on Dec. 23, 1975, the clause meant only a single one-year renewal. The decision impacted all sports across North America and led to collectively bargained free agency in baseball."
Article looks good. QPQ done. Appears good to go (hook probably could be condensed a bit though if wanted, e.g. ... that labor lawyer Dick Moss argued the 1975 case which resulted in the establishment of free agency in Major League Baseball? – not required though) BeanieFan11 (talk) 02:01, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
