Six years' ago, he thought the game
couldn't offer him any. more;
now he knows differently,
and even a secondary job brings
back that famous old fire
By JOSEPH N. BELL
In his new roe as Dodger coach, Leo Durocher points
out bunting flaws to rookie outfielder Ron Fairly.
Ever since Leo Durocher left baseball in 1955, sports writers
have had to strain for the colorful copy his antics once
provided by the ream. This spring, the easy smiles are back
on the sports scribes' faces. Leo is back in baseball making
the big banner headlines. '
He stopped presses all over the country'early this year
when he accepted the lowly (for him) job as a coach with his
old Dodgers, then of Brooklyn, now of Los Angeles. Said
Durocher: "I had been out of work for 15 months and I
needed a job. Besides, I was just about ready to give my
right arm to get back into baseball." , j.
The furor had hardly died down when a New York news
paper screamed in front-page headlines that Leo was sud
denly leaving the Dodgers before he had baited his first
umpire during the official season to take on the manager's -job
for the New York "Metropolitans," the new National
League club beginning operation in 1962.
Durocher and George Weiss, president of the Mets, issued
vehement denials of the story, as did the Dodger brass. The
reporter who broke the exclusive, while not revealing who
leaked the news to him, assured us his story "was no pipe
dream," no matter how heated the denials. Even as this story
was being written, there was the possibility the volatile'
Durocher will be scouring the country for Met ballplayers
rather than traffic-copping base runners in Los Angeles. If
not now, it seems a reasonable guess that Leo will sign as
manager of the Mets before next spring.
No matter where he is for the balance of the '61 season,
Leo is back with a bang and glad of it The controversy
proves it , ..
A few years ago, Durocher was saying he would never''
again put on a baseball uniform for a salary, no matter how
large. He insisted that only part ownership in a club could
bring him back. . .
; "During my six years out of baseball, I found that money
isn't everything. To me, being back is everything."
Baseball was everything to Leo until 1955. By then, how
ever, he'd done just about everything an ambitious man
could do in the game except own a club. He'd starred on the
Family Weekly, April 23, 1961
field, managed pennant winners in Brooklyn
and New York, and finally copped a World
Series for the Giants.
Still ambitious and always cocky, he
looked for new fields to conquer and ended
up with the National Broadcasting Com
pany. He tried acting and was an admitted
failure. He did better at sportcasts but
wasn't happy.
Durocher and NBC parted company at
the end of the baseball season in 1959, and
he has been literally out of work ever since.
For 15 months, everything was going out,
and nothing was coming in.
"But I found out then what loyal friends
I had," says Leo. "Dozens of them called to
offer help and to make sure I was all right. I
knew then that baseball was my life, and I
wanted to get back to it.
"But the statements I'd made a few years
earlier that I wasn't interested in returning
to baseball on any sort of salary basis hurt
me even though I told anyone who would
listen that it was no longer true. The
Dodgers were the only club that believed
me enough to make a concrete proposal, and
I'll always be grateful to Walter O'Malley,
Buzzie Bavasi,and Walt Alston because of it.
"I didn't have to negotiate with them. I
didn't even discuss terms with Bavasi. I just
told him: 'Forget about a contract Your
word is good enough for me.' And that's the
way it was."
Which leads us to what sports writers
have euphemistically labeled an "un
comfortable situation" that is, Durocher's
working under Walter Alston, who right
now is the senior major-league manager.
"Nobody had to tell me that my being
around could make a delicate situation for
Alston," he says. But Durocher contends that
those who are predicting this "situation" will
finally blow up just don't understand or
won't concede three points:
1. Leo is capable of stout personal loyalty.
"When I work for a manager," he says, "he's
the greatest manager in baseball. I'm happy
and gratified to be working with Walter as
a coach, and I'm delighted to be with the
Dodgers."
2. Durocher likes it in California. Los
Angeles is his home, and most of his friends
are there. Working for the Dodgers makes it
possible for Durocher to live on the Coast
3. Durocher has shown, at least in spring
training, that he's able to subordinate him
self to Alston, as a coach must He hasn't
popped off. He has made statements only in
general press conferences. He hasn't second
guessed. He has contributed his advice and
considerable baseball knowledge, not
through the newspapers but in the privacy of
clubhouse staff meetings.
All this makes it seem like a good bet that
Leo will finish the season with the Dodgers,
but by the same token, Leo has always been -hard
to handicap. -
He insists that no writer is going to get a
single unguarded word from him by
jockeying him to one side and whispering,
"What do you really think, Leo?" His deter
mination on this point is judicious. During
the press conference at which Durocher's
appointment was announced, Buzzie Bavasi,
in reply to a question from a reporter, looked
straight at Leo and said: " "The first time I
read in the papers where you have second
guessed Walt, that's it" , -
This arouses no rancor in Durocher. He
knows that's the way it has to be. He
wouldn't tolerate second-guessing from a
coach when he was managing, and he doesn't
expect Alston to. Durocher knows the rules,
and thus far he gives every indication that he
intends to abide by them. However, that
doesn't mean he's wearing a halo on the
playing field. Nor does the Dodger man
agement want him to.
Alston says of Durocher: "We've got Leo
on our side again, and I'm glad to have him
with us. He'll direct traffic at third base, and
he'll help us in a lot of other ways, particu
larly in instructing all our kids in the fun
damentals of baseball. I plan to let him do
his usual amount of talking. It may be that's
what this ball club needs. We can use a man
with enthusiasm and spirit I don't resent it;
I'm glad to have it on my staff."
Avoiding the limelight has proved impos
sible for the fiery Leo.even though he insists
he wants to take a back seat.
When questioned about leaving the
Dodgers to manage the Mets, he said: "I
wish they'd just leave me alone for a while.
I'm happy where I am. I know how good
baseball has been to me, and I'm so glad to
be back that I'll do almost anything to make
sure that this time I stay."
He sounds as if he means every word of
it, whether in New York or Los Angeles.
