This photo montage of the 53-54 Los Indios (Indians) de Mayaguez club of the Puerto Rican Winter League is noteworthy for the familiar smiling mug of 25-year-old Tommy Lasorda, who pitched for them between seasons in the Dodger bush leagues. However, he is misidentified as "Freese" under his head shot, with "La Sorda" under the image of 3B George Freese to his left. Actually, poor Tommy might have been happy to switch idenditites, having set a league record that season walking 19 hitters in a twinbill! 8 x 10 has some minor edge creasing o/w EX-MT. Great conversation piece.
