Sam McLean will commute no longer. During his stay in Waterbury Sam would pitch a game, get into his glad rags and hurry off to his chicken and tobacco plantation in Glastonbury, spend the night and return to Waterbury in the morning and repeat the process. Sam likes pitching and he is not at all bad at it, but he likes his chickens more and so he asked Manager Lee Fohl for his papers. The papers were handed over and with a smile Sam said goodbye. It is not a question of likes and dislikes with Sam, it's a question of plus and minus. By remaining on his Glastonbury plantation and watching the cigars and the eggs grow, he can make more money than by hanging around a baseball diamond, for the farm is more than ample. [1]
