Did you know?
One of the labor disputes during the early days of baseball was the 10-day clause. The clause meant that a baseball club could release a player from his contract by giving him a 10 day notice. Firstbaseman Hal Chase turned the tables around on the owners in 1914. He gave the Chicago White Sox his 10 day notice and then jumped to the Federal League's Buffalo Blues.
