A friend and former teammate was to be involved in a trade for Rod Carew when the Twins were trying to dump his salary. My friend was told if the deal happened he was to be the Twins leftfielder. The Yankees pulled him out of the trade even though they were loaded in the outfield. The Twins backed off the trade and sent Carew to the Angels. At the end of his second stellar AAA season my friend was hit by a pitch, broke his wrist and never fully recovered. He never saw a day in the majors.
