Fox Traded to Houston Colts Rejoining Paul Richards
Nellie Fox, 36, ex-MVP of 1959, sold by the Chicago White Sox to the Houston Colts for money and minor leaguers Jim Golden and Danny Murphy. Fox will reunite with manager Paul Richards, who developed him in his formative years. Fox’s current .260 average over 137 games contrasted with a lifetime .289 mark, ending his long Sox tenure and paving the way for Al Weis and Don Buford to fill second base.
