Akno21:
Here's a really bad Wikipedia article on him

The very definition of a freedom fighter, it's a shame so many professional athletes today have no clue who he is.

Jake:
Definite freedom fighter and an excellent baseball player back in the day.

Akno21:
Interestingly enough, as I think about it, Flood is one of the only people in these polls to actually truly be a freedom fighter, yet many people could not be stretching it by calling him a horrible person. (I don't think that, but some might) He's obviously a freedom fighter because of his fight with the reserve clause, but if you look at his personal life, he was a raving alcoholic, cheated on his wife(s), and slept with tons of women, some of which were likely prositutes. However, much of that was a result of stress resulting from the trial, so I don't hold it against him.

Horrible Person for not coming to the Phillies

Inverted Things:
This guy should be in the hall of fame.
