On one memorable occasion, a rebuffed fan snapped: "Who the hell do you think you are?" Grant, cool as the north wind, answered: "I know who I am.

They did not even exist until last season, when Cowboy-Singer Gene Autry (himself a Dodger fan) forked over $2,150,000 for a franchise and a crew of ballplayers unloaded by other American League clubs.
