Interesting stuff guys.

Howard,

Yes--Vic started out as a pitcher in the minor leagues.

JimVB,

My last time back to the house I grew up in I looked at my scrapbook and there was an article from Newsday entitled "Birdie's(Tebbetts) Littlest Indian Gives Bouton Big Pain" and it described how Vic went 4 for 4 against Bouton who was quoted as saying "if anybody figures out how to get him out please let me know".

I think Vic played in Mexico or Venezuelan winter ball until at least age 50 would be 1989.
