Joe Torre: From Fat Boy to Braves Star
Oscar Fraley tells how Joe Torre, once mocked as a fat boy at 16, transformed through diet and baseball work. Guided by brother Frank’s advice to become a catcher, Torre joined the Milwaukee Braves in 1959, rising to All Star votes with a .317 average and strong defense behind the plate. The piece contrasts his early doubts with later acclaim, noting his rapid ascent from Eau Claire to Louisville and Cincinnati in 1960-61.
