	Leo Durocher
		Under pressure from Dodger owner [[Walter O'Malley]] (who was looking to undermine general manager [[Branch Rickey]]), Chandler suspended Durocher for the [[1947 in sports1947]] season for "association with known gamblers".
		In [[1941 in sports1941]], just his third season of managing, he led the Dodgers to the National League pennant (their first in 21 years) with a 100-54 record.
		Matters came to a head when Durocher's affair with married actress [[Laraine Day]] became public knowledge, drawing criticism from Brooklyn's influential [[Catholic Youth Organization]]; the two later eloped and married in Mexico in 1947, divorcing in 1960.

	Cleveland Indians
		The Indians were the first AL team to integrate, in the Summer of 1947, just a few months after Jackie Robinson first debuted for the Brooklyn Dodgers.
		The worst thing about this deal from the Cleveland point of view is the fact that they dealt Jackson to the White Sox in the middle of the 1915 season because (A) they thought he was just another hard-hitting outfielder, (B) he was in a slump, and (C) he was expensive.
		Sockalexis had played three seasons for Cleveland in the National League, and his death at the age of 42 in 1913 may have attributed to the sentiment for this name.
