I was just a youngster and believed everything everybody told me. The Dodgers told me a big bonus was no good and they said other players would resent it.

In the workout with the Dodgers, I hit 10 balls over the fence and I go back to 400-foot mark and throw to the plate. The Dodgers hid me as Montreal in 1954 and I seldom played. Maybe the late innings. Once I started and before I could bat in first inning they take me out for pinch-hitter.
