Buzzie Bavasi Protecting His Ears from Don Newcombe and Johnny Podres

(Original Caption) Brooklyn, New York: Buzzie Bavasi, Dodgers vice president and general manager, covers up in a bit of horse play during a talk with pitchers Don Newcombe and Johnny Podres at the club's Brooklyn headquarters. The visit of both, whose hurling sparked the Brooks to a pennant and World Series victory was described as purely "social." It was thought that Newcombe, just back from barnstorming, had 1956 contract terms on his mind when asking for the appointment.
