the Preacher was traded by the Pirates to the Dodgers (along with Billy Cox and Gene Mauch) for Vic Lombardi, Hal Gregg and Dixie Walker in order to dump some of the racists then playing with Jackie Robinson? Apparently Dixie Walker fits the category well. I'm not at all sure about the other two. If I could find "The Boys of Summer" in the wreckage around me I'd answer my own question, but it's disappeared again.
