Mickey Rawlings has just been traded from the NL
Cincinnati Reds to the AL
St. Louis Browns,
a proverbial team on the rise, but is stuck on the bench. Melvin Greene
approaches him to play in an exhibition under an assumed name (Mickey
Welch) for Enoch's Elcars, a semipro team from
East St. Louis,
Illinois. Mickey agrees, but comes to regret it after going 0 for 4 with 3 strikeouts against
Slip Crawford, a ringer for the Elcars' opponents, the East Saint Louis Cubs, who win the game 9-5 despite several unsavoury incidents.
