Could have taken away the team’s top HR hitter and the Giants still would have led the NL in HR that year.
“$50 a month more,” was the only thing that kept him from becoming a teammate of Willie Mays on the Giants. Even back then ownership was getting in the way of success
21 home runs for Patrick Bailey. 1963 was a good year for him.
