There is only one problem with the idea: it is anathema to the Players Association. There are hints that the union might be willing to negotiate away salary arbitration (a jury-rigged system for setting the compensation of younger players that is a major cause of payroll inflation) in exchange for, say, free agency after four rather than six years.

HENRY WALLACE (1944). Overshadowing Roosevelt's choice of a running mate was the suspicion that he might not live to the end of a fourth term. Vice President Wallace's advocacy of civil rights and his utopian rhetoric about a global New Deal made him anathema to big-city bosses and conservative Southern Democrats. F.D.R. toyed with the idea of picking Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas to replace him, but finally settled on Missouri Senator Harry Truman...
