Dodgers first baseman Wes Parker joins Tony Oliva of the Twins at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota. The trio of players already checked in marks a busy season end as players seek care for lingering aches and pains.
The piece recalls Willie facing overweight non stars to avoid risking a title. It notes Pep’s 70 fights from 1944 to 1948 with only six for the title, Willie at 43, and a pattern of short-lived retirements. It mentions Bobo Olson, Ray Robinson in 1950, Olson’s 1953 title, Sugar Ray’s 1955 knockout, and Olson’s brief comebacks, ending with a blunt line that fighters never learn.
The article notes Yankee shortstop Tony Kubek to visit a clinic for a shoulder evaluation after a poor season.
