his team Is going very. very badly.
and when the Philadelphia fans are
clamoring for Bakers return II Is
now public property that all Baker
has been holding out for Is more
money. and that his retirement was
. blum. II would seem that in his
predicament. Mack would swallow
pride. kick in with the required ma
suma and plant the hard-hitting
youth on third base.
But IL seems to be matter Of
principle with Connie. Baker sign

wanted. that was his own fault
