| George Whaley's Camp Ends, Big League Career Begins Tuesday, April 17th , 1962 With Spring Training ending recently, the highly-touted Washington Eagles prospect, George Whaley, was excited to get his big league career started.
"I had fun in camp. I learned a lot about what it takes to be a big league player and I am excited to get going," he said.
"I like everything I see. Everybody likes his talent, likes the man. I was happy to have him in camp." said Washington Eagles manager, Roger Cleaves. "George has all of the makings of a great ballplayer and we look forward to having him on the team."
It is obvious the Washington Eagles's GM was correct weeks ago when he encouraged major-league campers, players, and visiting fans alike, to "get a first look at Whaley, because you'll be seeing him a lot more very soon." | | |
