Frick Says Cards Planned Strike Over Robinson Presence
National League President Ford Frick acknowledged talk of a strike by St Louis Cardinals players against Jackie Robinson of the Brooklyn Dodgers but called it a closed affair. Card President Sam Breadon said the report was ridiculous and that any action would have been Breadon’s alone. Dodger manager Burt Shotton and Cardinal manager Eddie Dyer denied knowledge of any strike as the three-game set ended without incident.
