...home runs (49) and runs batted in (120), bade fair to become the first player since Mickey Mantle in 1956 to win batting's Triple Crown-and was practically a cinch for the Most Valuable Player Award. All the Orioles gave up in exchange for Robinson was Pitcher Milt Pappas (1966 record: 10 wins, 11 losses) and a second-string outfielder...
Cincinnati shipped 30-year old Frank Robinson to the American League to try his hand with Baltimore. In return, the Reds got Milt Pappas, Jack Baldschun, and Dick Simpson. Pappas will join Jim Maloney, Sam Ellis, and Joey Jay in the starting pitchers' rotation. Relief help will come largely from erratic Jim O'Toole and veteran Joe Nux-hall...

They bought the place, then spent a year refurbishing it with bits of vanished Victorian homes and pieces of spooky abracadabra. Opened less than three years ago with 64 members, the club has conjured up a membership of 1,300, a third of them amateur or professional magicians. The rest are just writers...
