  • TitleArmy to ship prize relief ace to Flock
  • SummaryHalf-length portrait against neutral background of Brooklyn Dodgers farm team pitcher Ronnie Lee in uniform. Caption: "Army to Ship Prize Relief Ace to Flock: Ronald L. Lee, like Jim Baxes, is another worthy in the Dodger organization who can't wait to shed his Army uniform for Dodgers togs -- and that goes double for the Dodgers. Back in 1950, when ol' Joe Black was by inversion associated only with a sentimental Southern ballad, Lee was writing a brilliant page in Montreal history as a relief pitcher -- and he could very well be the Black of 1953 or 1954 . . . ".
