Highlighted entries are both from 1952:
The Giants Willie Mays enters the army. Although Mays is hitting just .236‚ the Giants are 2 1/2 games in first place. They will lose 8 of their next 10 games.
Meanwhile‚ the Giants lose another young Birmingham player as Braves scout Dewey Griggs signs Henry Aaron to a contract. The Indianapolis Clowns receive telegram offers from both clubs‚ and Aaron‚ thinking he'll have a better chance to make the team‚ prefers the Braves.
Imagine Mays and Aaron in the same outfield for 20 years.
