Spangler May Start in Center for Braves
MILWAUKEE An unusual young man named Al Spangler may start in center for the World Champion Milwaukee Braves this season though he is not on their 1958 roster. The 24 year old has been in the Army for two seasons and has never played in a major league game but is regarded as a top prospect by assistant farm director Roland Hemond. Spangler trains with the parent club this spring and competes for the center field job due to Billy Bruton's knee injury. He is a Philadelphia native described as a Richie Ashburn type hitter with speed and solid defense after stints in Jacksonville and Evansville prior to service.
