On Jackie Robinson Day I present his old teammate:
5/26/63 Gil Hodges, who had just retired as a player with the Mets to become the manager of the Washington Senators. He would later leave that job to manage the Mets. He is the first guest.
I thought Eamonn Andrews, the host of the English version of What's My Line, would be out of his element with a baseball guest but he asked the key question. Arlene Francis had been in a an auto accident where her car skidded on a wet road and smashed into another car. Someone in the other c ar had been killed and she was hospitalized for a time. She was not charged in the accident.
