Description
Photograph caption dated February 7, 1963 reads, "Strange as it may seem, Dodger Boss Walter O'Malley, right, hardly got in a word about baseball yesterday as boxing took over at the Dodger Stadium where matchmaker George Parnassus, left, and promoter Aileen Eaton announced a tripleheader championship boxing program for March 16. Landlord O'Malley is opening his stadium to fights for the first time and seems pleased at the prospect."
