Vic Raschi


On this date in 1954, the Cardinals purchase Vic Raschi from the Yankees for $85,000.

"A cut of that size just isn't warranted. After all my years of hustle and work such a contract as was sent me this year doesn't deserve mention." - after receiving a 25% pay cut from the Yankees after his win total dipped from 15 to 13 in 1953

And (Dunn) admitting you reported to spring training very out of shape but you will do better next year. Ugggh.
