Curt Flood 1968

On December 5, 1957, the St. Louis Cardinals make one of their best trades ever, acquiring Curt Flood from the Cincinnati Reds in a five-player deal. Cardinals acquire outfielders Curt Flood and Joe Taylor from the Redlegs for pitchers Marty Kutyna and Ted Wieand.

The 19-year-old Flood, who appeared in eight games for Cincinnati over the past two seasons, will anchor the St. Louis outfield hitting .300 six times over the next 12 years and will help the Cards to the 1967 title.
