This Day in New York Yankees History 12/4: Free Agent Draft
On this day in 1964, in an effort to prevent teams
like the New York Yankees from locking up all the talent in Major League
Baseball, the owners voted to start a free agent draft. The team with the worst
record would pick first and the team with the best record from the previous
year would pick last obviously and this draft would happen every four months.
