Gone. FBI agents rushed to the Manhattan apartment in which Eisler had been living while appealing two jail sentences-one for contempt of Congress, another for falsifying an application for an exit permit.

At the same time, fans poured onto the field, heading for the outfield exit. Out in Texas-league country, Leo and Fred Boysen crossed paths. A few seconds later, Boysen was picking himself up from the turf and Durocher was walking away flanked by Second Baseman Bill Rigney, No. 18, and Fred Fitzsimmons, No. 6 (see cut). Leo Durocher was off the sport pages and on Page...
