 | Imperials, Pioneers Swap Players Tuesday, October 22nd , 1974 According to BNN there were mixed emotions by the players involved in the trade between the New York Imperials and the St. Louis Pioneers. As part of the deal, the Imperials swapped 28-year old LF Pete O'Leary to the Pioneers getting 32-year old RHP Charlie Walker and 19-year old minor league LF Tom Haynes in return. The players indicated it was good to get a fresh new start in another city, but it was difficult to leave your friends on the old team. His career numbers show O'Leary is currently carrying a .252 lifetime batting average with 18 home runs and 91 RBIs. Lifetime Walker has 31 wins and 24 losses and a 3.60 ERA. |   |
