  • Summary

  • In 1946, Leo Durocher was in his eighth season as manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers. Known for his fiery personality and strategic acumen, Durocher had already established himself as one of the most controversial and successful managers in baseball. This year marked Durocher's return to the dugout after World War II had significantly impacted baseball rosters.

    The 1946 season would prove to be pivotal for Durocher and the Dodgers. Under his leadership, the team finished tied for first place with the St. Louis Cardinals, necessitating the first-ever tiebreaker playoff in Major League history. Although the Dodgers lost this playoff, Durocher's managerial skills had once again brought the team to the brink of a pennant. This radio show captures Durocher at a crucial moment in his career, just before the controversy that would lead to his suspension for the entire 1947 season.
