SABR member Lyle Spatz is asking for assistance in his 1947 Brooklyn Dodger Biography Project where he needs a biography on former Dodger and current Houston resident Ed Stevens. Stevens was the Dodger first Baseman in 1947 who was asked to step aside to allow rookie player Jackie Robinson play that position.
Member Jim Kreuz has agreed to write the biography. |
