Photograph article dated August 12, 1963 partially reads, "It will require a tremendous lack of effort, but the fluttering Los Angeles Angels can still catch the Washington Senators and finish stone cold dead in the American League market place this summer. Having seriously devoted themselves to losing, it is doubtful if anything can block their path. The drive on tenth place in the standing reached a stunning climax Sunday at Chavez Ravine. It can only get better, or worse, depending on your stomach for disasters." Photograph caption reads, "Angel manager Bill Rigney brings his players to complain - Umpire Frank Umont also waits for their mood to pass Sunday at Ravine."
