17 years. That is what I miss most about MLB. Players didn’t change teams as often as they change their underwear.
Brock and Gibson both played for St Louis most of their careers as far as Brock and entirely as far as Gibson. He was a great pitcher, also a good hitter and could play in the field too. World series records among the best and 2 time cy young winner. Wow.
There were a lot of things wrong with the “reserve clause” but at least during those times, you had a good idea which team individuals played for. Today it is rent a player for a short run and move them when the run is over.
