Baseball Front Things Normal (Wacky) By Herschel Nissenson
Spring training unfolds with usual oddities as Boston eyes a designated hitter in an exhibition against Philadelphia but backs off after NL protest. Frank Robinson of the Angels breaks a toe and is out weeks. Durocher suspends a briefing for batting practice. Cepeda briefly appears as DH before Kasko withdraws the idea. Nonroster Rogodzinski hits a two-run homer as Boston loses 6-2 to Philly. Miller and Durocher clash over the labor talks as Astros and Rangers hold a shortened session. Cardinals edge Dodgers in a real game mix of scores listed for fans.
