After finishing with a record of 8–11 in <a href="/wiki/1972_in_baseball" title="1972 in baseball">1972</a>, attributed primarily to a finger injury requiring surgery, the Angels traded Messersmith and infielder <a href="/wiki/Ken_McMullen_(baseball)" title="Ken McMullen (baseball)">Ken McMullen</a> to the <a href="/wiki/Los_Angeles_Dodgers" title="Los Angeles Dodgers">Los Angeles Dodgers</a> for five players - <a href="/wiki/Frank_Robinson" title="Frank Robinson">Frank Robinson</a>, <a href="/wiki/Bill_Singer" title="Bill Singer">Bill Singer</a>, <a href="/wiki/Billy_Grabarkewitz" title="Billy Grabarkewitz">Billy Grabarkewitz</a>, <a href="/wiki/Bobby_Valentine" title="Bobby Valentine">Bobby Valentine</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Mike_Strahler" title="Mike Strahler">Mike Strahler</a>. </p><p>Messersmith joined a strong Dodger rotation in <a href="/wiki/1973_in_baseball" title="1973 in baseball">1973</a>, finishing the season with a 14–10 record. He shined in <a href="/wiki/1974_in_baseball" title="1974 in baseball">1974</a>, finishing with 20 wins and 6 losses and a 2.59 ERA. He was the starting pitcher in the <a href="/wiki/1974_Major_League_Baseball_All-Star_Game" title="1974 Major League Baseball All-Star Game">1974 Major League Baseball All-Star Game</a> and was one of the main factors in the Dodgers' return to the World Series for the first time since 1966, and finished second in balloting for the <a href="/wiki/Cy_Young_Award" title="Cy Young Award">Cy Young Award</a>, which was won by his Dodger teammate <a href="/wiki/Mike_Marshall_(pitcher)" title="Mike Marshall (pitcher)">Mike Marshall</a>. </p><p>Messersmith is most famous for his role in the historic <a href="/wiki/1975_in_baseball" title="1975 in baseball">1975</a> <a href="/wiki/Seitz_decision" title="Seitz decision">Seitz decision</a> which led to the downfall of Major League Baseball's <a href="/wiki/Reserve_clause" title="Reserve clause">reserve clause</a> and ushered in the current era of <a href="/wiki/Free_agent" title="Free agent">free agency</a>. It began when Messersmith went to spring training in 1975 and began negotiating his 1975 contract. He asked for a no-trade clause which the Dodgers refused. According to author John Helyar, in <i>The Lords of the Realm</i>, Messersmith was also deeply offended by general manager <a href="/wiki/Al_Campanis" title="Al Campanis">Al Campanis</a> "inject(ing) a personal issue" into the talks (it "cut so deeply with him", Helyar has written, that Messersmith since has never disclosed it), and the pitcher refused to deal with anyone lower than team president <a href="/wiki/Peter_O%27Malley" title="Peter O'Malley">Peter O'Malley</a>. </p><p>He also pitched 1975 without a contract, leading the National League in complete games and shutouts, finishing second in <a href="/wiki/Earned_run_average" title="Earned run average">earned run average</a> with 2.29, and winning a <a href="/wiki/Gold_Glove" class="mw-redirect" title="Gold Glove">Gold Glove</a> (his second) as the league's best-fielding pitcher. Messersmith and <a href="/wiki/Dave_McNally" title="Dave McNally">Dave McNally</a> were the only two players in 1975 playing on the one year reserve clause in effect at the time. McNally's season ended early due to injuries and he returned home, intending to retire, but agreeing to players' union director <a href="/wiki/Marvin_Miller" title="Marvin Miller">Marvin Miller</a>'s request that he sign onto the Messersmith grievance in case Messersmith ended up signing a new deal with the Dodgers before the season ended. </p><p>"It was less of an economic issue at the time than a fight for the right to have control over your own destiny", Messersmith told <i><a href="/wiki/The_Sporting_News" title="The Sporting News">The Sporting News</a></i>, looking back on his decision a decade later. "It was a matter of being tired of going in to negotiate a contract and hearing the owners say, 'OK, here's what you're getting. Tough luck'." </p><p>Messersmith and McNally won <a href="/wiki/Seitz_decision" title="Seitz decision">their case</a> before arbitrator Peter Seitz, who was fired by the owners the day afterward. McNally followed through on his intention to retire but Messersmith signed a three-year, $1 million deal with the <a href="/wiki/Atlanta_Braves" title="Atlanta Braves">Atlanta Braves</a>. Among other things, then-Braves owner <a href="/wiki/Ted_Turner" title="Ted Turner">Ted Turner</a> suggested the nickname "Channel" for Messersmith and jersey number 17, in order to promote the <a href="/wiki/WPCH-TV" title="WPCH-TV">television station</a> that aired Braves games. Major League Baseball quickly nixed the idea. </p><p>Messersmith struggled trying to live up to his new contract which was sold to the <a href="/wiki/New_York_Yankees" title="New York Yankees">New York Yankees</a> for $100,000 at the <a href="/wiki/Winter_Meetings" title="Winter Meetings">Winter Meetings</a> on December 8, 1977,<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> having gone 16–15 in two seasons with the Braves, the second marred by injuries. The Yankees released him after an injury plagued 1978 season and he signed with the Dodgers, who gave him the very thing their first refusal drove him toward testing and defeating the old reserve system: a no-trade clause. But the injuries and stress had taken too much toll; Messersmith pitched in only 11 games for the Dodgers in 1979, going 2–4 with a 4.90 ERA, and retired after the Dodgers released him. He served two stints as a baseball coach at <a href="/wiki/Cabrillo_College" title="Cabrillo College">Cabrillo College</a>, from 1986 to 1991 and from 2005 to 2007, when he retired at age 63. Messersmith's <a href="/wiki/Earned_run_average" title="Earned run average">earned run average</a> of 2.861 is the sixth lowest among starting pitchers whose careers began after the advent of the <a
