In the fall of 1950 he called some of his teammates "moronic malcontents" and "juvenile delinquents." He was promptly traded to Cleveland. In 1953, just as soon as they could get a catcher to take his place, the Indians sent Birdie to the Cleveland farm in Indianapolis...

...both hands, like a starving man wolfing a platter of chicken. The kids shrilled an octave higher as the performer knocked out a couple of bars introduction, then quieted down to mere noise as he ducked his head shyly, leaned over to the mike and opened a satchel-sized mouth: "Ah'm walkin' "- each word a hard, booming beat-"Yes indeed, Ah'm talkin'."
