Welcome to a new feature from the madman who makes Cub Tracks out of balsa wood, twine, and bear claws. On today, the T’ird day of the T’ird month, for all of you Pat Foley followers, the following events occurred*. We’ll get into detail about one or more** following the bullets.
- 1953 - The Boston Braves, owners of the Milwaukee minor league franchise, block the Browns’ attempt to shift their franchise to Milwaukee. Lou Perini, Braves owner, invokes his territorial privilege, stating he has not been offered enough for the rights.**
- 1959 - The winning entry in the Giants’ Name-the-Park contest is Candlestick Park, reflecting the shape of the rocks found in the area known as Candlestick Point.
