The Curious Case of Curt Flood (doc)
Oh the myth-building at work in THIS doc to try to make a hero out of the fraud that was Curt Flood. Being a dead-beat-dad, chronic drunk, artistic-scam-artist (really!) and living-beyond-your-means money hustler is what led to his trail-blazing attempt to become baseball’s first free agent. This is no disciple of Jackie Robinson, just a con-man whose reckless behavior around the globe damaged countless lives, and eventually caught up with him. Perhaps his greatest slight-of-hand is that - in his 59th and final year - he was still hustling friends and family to pick up his tab…and they did!..while calling HIM a hero!
