Crandall Shapes Torre Into Braves Successor
Joe Torre’s breakthrough with the Braves follows Del Crandall’s early-season arm setback and recalls. Torre, 21, hit .278 with 10 homers in his debut season and credits Crandall’s guidance for adjusting his approach behind the plate. The Torre brothers, Frank and Joe, both reach the National League, with Frank later joining the Phillies. Virgil Akins is temporarily blind in one eye and out of boxing after retinal detachment surgery, with prospects of regaining sight but not returning to the ring.
