Photograph article date stamped November 23, 1960 reads, "Gene Klein is due back at his San Fernando Valley home today still optimistic over his chances of getting the American League's Los Angeles baseball franchise. Klein, vice chairman of National Theater and Television Inc., made a hurried trip to New York where he told commissioner Ford Frick yesterday his group (National Theater and Television Inc.) is willing to pay five or six million dollars and willing to go along with any demands made by Walter O'Malley, president of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Klein was one of the several bidders for the club which included Kenyon Brown, TV tycoon of Los Angeles. The possibility of an American League team in Los Angeles for 1961 seems remote."
