We do indeed move Connie Johnson on, to the Cubbies for a couple organisational pieces. We non-tender Frank House and send Harry Simpson and Bob Miller to arbitration. Leo Kiely walks.
Just the one Manager loses his job – Milwaukee’s Harry Matuzak. I get a 3-year extension with a nice bump from $25k to $60k per.
This year’s retiree class includes Phil Rizzuto, Steve Gromek, Don Mueller, Sam Mele, Del Rice, Pee Wee Reese, Enos Slaughter, Bobby Doerr (who has his #1 retired by the BoSox), Ralph Kiner - whose #4 we retire and who never plays for another club than ours – and one other I’ll cover separately.
