March 24th, 1946 ... Jupiter, Florida

Fredric Sims jogged over to his best friend---and new boss, Bubba Jones.

"Heya Bubba! How 'ya doin?"

"Fine Fred, what's up?" replied Bubba.

"MAN...I mean STAN THE MAN! Do you see that kid hit?!" Stan Musial was the very first pick taken in the dispersion draft, held just after the war ended. The owners figured this would be the only way to make things fair after the war.

"Stan is 25, and DID miss last year, but he got an early start, and has close to 1700 major league at bats...along with a sweet lifetime .344 average. He will play right for the next 15 years."

"Our next best player is Lou Boudreau, now 28, at SS. He hits for average, and has some pop in his bat."

"After these two, Bubba, we ain't got much." Fredric looked at his friend. "We ain't got a lead-off man, or much depth. We'll just have to see how it goes."

"Thanks Fredric, how 'bout them rookies?"

"Thin as hell, Bubba, we got a couple of kids, thats about all. That colored kid, Love, he can play...but it remains to be seen how he can handle the pressure."

"Thanks Fred." Bubba ambled off, towards the reporters lining up near the dugout. There must be booze there.
