Grid Star Makes Grade in Majors Grid Star Makes Grade in Majors
Harry Agganis from Boston University, nicknamed the Golden Greek, chooses baseball with the Boston Red Sox after flirtations with the NFL. He hits .323 in the Grapefruit League, a 50-point jump in a week, and could be the part time first baseman for Lou Boudreau. Teammate Jackie Jensen shares a college football background, and Agganis joins ex football players like Alvin Dark and Vic Janowicz in the majors as spring results show strong outbursts across teams including the Phillies, A’s, Cubs, and Giants in hot exhibition play.
