The STL Browns acquired Tommy Lasorda for $50,000 to be their fourth starter behind Larsen, Turley, and Bearden. Veeck sent him back to Brooklyn before the season started when he couldn't get the $2M to move to Baltimore that year and couldn't afford Tommy. History was changed.

@Frank_Cusumano With no baseball, nothing better than to relive the baseball history of the St. Louis region in the new book: Baseball in St. Louis: Little Leagues to Major Leagues. Great history. Great stories.

@Frank_Cusumano @ksdknews The new book coming out next week St. Louis Baseball-Little Leagues to Major Leagues tells the complete history of baseball in the St. Louis community and is filled with many amazing stories and memories to remember.

@Frank_Cusumano @ksdknews We at the St. Louis Browns Historical Society & Fan Club have many great stories that have stirred the interest and memories of the St. Louis community that would be great to tell.
