RIP

Vida Blue

age 73

Was watching the Reggie Jackson documentary on Prime Video, which was very good. Vida Blue was on, and Blue, Jackson, Rudi, etc were sitting around talking about the Charlie O days and how cheap he was. Blue said that he was coming off something like a 24-6 season, with a fantastic ERA asked Charlie O for a raise. Charlie said to him even though your win-loss was fantastic, your strike outs decreased like 15% from the previous year, and because of that, didn't think he deserved a raise. Blue held out the beginning of the season until Bowie Kuhn mediated to get a resolution.
