Nice shot of Leo. Leo managed the previous year's World Series Champs, the New York Giants. Mayo Smith would go on to become manager of the Detroit Tigers where he would lead the team to a 103-59 record and World Series title in 1968. Fred Haney moved on to manage the Milwaukee Braves where he won two pennants (1957, 1958) and a World Series (1957).
More to come.
keep up the good work! :)
