Lavagetto & Bevens
Bill Bevens, in the Reds uniform, jokes about taking revenge on Cookie Lavagetto for the latter's breaking up Bevens' 1947 World Series no-hitter with two outs in the ninth. Many of you will remember that Lavagetto's double drove in two runs and gave the Dodgers the 3-2 win over the Yankees in that 4th game of the series.
At the time this photo was taken, Bill Bevens was trying for a comeback as a 1952 spring roster pitcher with the Reds, while Cookie Lavagetto was a coach for the Dodgers. The photo is from the April 3, 1952 issue of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
