Yankee Head Eyes Brown Coast Shift
Co owner Del Webb of the New York Yankees, representing a Western group, planned to resume talks to buy the St. Louis Browns with aim to move the franchise to the Pacific Coast. If successful, Baltimore would be shut out. Baltimore’s bid for Browns stock remains strong. American League meetings considered Webb’s authority to negotiate for 79 percent control and ruled no AL baseball in St. Louis for 1954. Veeck’s price tag of 2.1 million was unmet, while Baltimore offered 2.236 million. Kansas City remains a possibility if both Los Angeles and Baltimore fail.
