Baseball History -- January 27

Complete entry for January 27 is at BaseballLibrary.com is HERE.

Highlighted entries:
1982
Philadelphia sends veteran SS
Larry Bowa and minor league infielder Ryne Sandberg to the Cubs in exchange for SS Ivan DeJesus.
What happened to that Sandberg guy? Isn't he going to be a minor league manager this year or something?
1966
Wisconsin State Circuit Court Judge Elmer W. Roller rules that the Braves must stay in Milwaukee, or the
National League must promise Wisconsin an expansion team for the 1966 season.
How did that work out for the Braves and Milwaukee County Stadium.
1937
In Cincinnati, the worst flood in the city's history inundates
Crosley Field, covering home plate with as much as 21 feet of water. The lower grandstand is completely covered. Reds pitchers Gene Schott and Lee Grissom row a boat out from the center field wall and the resulting photo appears across the country.
21 feet? I'd have to see that to believe it.
Thank you for the picture, Where's Crosley Now?
