Third Base Battle Looms For Dodgers As Jackson Arrives
Randy Jackson signs with Brooklyn and must supplant Jackie Robinson at third base, with club officials asserting the job is his. Dodgers plan him as a starter, while Robinson’s hold on the spot remains implied by manager Walter Alston and VP Buzzy Bavasi. Jackson, 28, came to Brooklyn in a winter deal from Chicago alongside Don Hoak and others. The trade to the Cubs earlier sent Hoak, Moryn, and Meyer to Chicago in exchange for the long ball hitter.
