What Val says is right, about Harris. Electric October, by Kevin Cook, a book that I deem worth reading. Does the name "Bill Bevens" ring a bell? After reading this book I learn that his first name was Floyd. Seems early on in baseball, he lost a fly ball in the sun, he falls and lands on his back, the ball hits the bill of his cap, then lands in his glove for the out... and from then on his team-mates called him Bill. The Ol' Professer would say you could look it up. In that World Series, how the managers, Harris and Shotton, landed in those positions is quite a story.

Found the contract and a raggedy card. The contract is for Reese to coach the 1956 San Diego Padres. Ralph Kiner signs as General Manager of the Padres.
