Talk:Larry Lassalle

From BR Bullpen

If someone is able to verify my theory about being drafted in the military it would be appreciated. Unfortunately he died before internet obituaries were a thing, so I can't find anything else about his life. Philippe (talk) 14:31, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

In January 1955 he was being listed as players set to report to Dodgertown [1], but by February, he was returning his signed contract to the Pirates [2], although that might be a mistake, because in March he was in Spring Training with Fort Worth in the Dodger chain [3]. Here we go. In early April he was suspended for jumping Spring Training, and was sold to Mobile [4], which is still in the Dodger chain. Then the trail kinda goes cold. There's references to him being sent to Mobile, but nothing concrete about him. There's a vague reference in May about him "disappearing into the low minors". Possibly just never reported.

Thanks Jeff. I'll amend the article. Philippe (talk) 14:09, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
