The Red Sox were good enough last
summer to win pennant with only
little help from Leonard, none from
Shore TO speak and little from Lewis.
Therefore, the REIMBURSEMENT OF this
trio hurt only slightly. But the Sox
were badly IN need Of catcher to help
Agnew. Therefore they have been
helped.
The trade, however. results in this
fact:
1t places the Yankees within shooting
