On this infamous day in 1957, as WE started spring training, the Big "O" declared that "the Dodgers would play 10 exhibition games in California in 1958". Of course, out of that same mouth, a few weeks later, came "My roots are in BROOKLYN".
What fools WE were to believe anything that came out of that despicable person's mouth!

Calculator that he was, he wanted to milk every nickel he could from that last year at EF.
