The star second baseman, first of his race to win the coveted MVP award said his contract was highly satisfactory. The figure is said to be $35,000, nearly double what Jackie got last year. This makes him the highest paid Dodger since Nahatma took over the Brooklyn club.(full caption in negative sleeve)
