1 week agoHow Bill Russell stayed connected to baseball, and reconnected with the Dodgers
An outstanding outfielder in his first three major league seasons, Russell moved to the infield full time in his fourth year. It was a disaster. "It was something I lost a lot of sleep over," said Russell, who led the majors with 34 errors that year. "After the season, I just collapsed for a few weeks." Then he picked himself up and went to work on getting better and in his second year as a shortstop he led the majors with 560 assists, led the National League in defensive WAR and made the first of three all-star teams.
