Baseball Magician Is Sent Down The River
Roy Sanner, a famed Evangeline League player, became the center of a tug of war in 1948 between Bonneau Peters of Shreveport and Dick Burnett of the Dallas Eagles. Burnett paid $10,000 to acquire Sanner, who posted 34 home runs and 125 RBIs in 126 games for Houma Louisiana, plus 21 wins as a pitcher with 23 starts. Then with Dallas he went 9–3 before a broken collarbone shifted him toward Gainesville in the Class B Big State League. Burnett paid over $1,000 per Sanner win.
