Photograph was edited for publication purposes Photograph article dated September 30, 1961 partially reads, "Every day this week, North Hollywood's Harry D. Frels has been swinging at baseballs at Buddy's Bat-Away, 12625 Ventura Blvd., North Hollywood. Reason? Practice session for $10,000. He's in Chicago today to try to get a base hit off Los Angeles pitcher Don Drysdale before the Dodgers-Chicago Cubs game this afternoon. Frels wins the money if he does. It's all a 'Truth or Consequences' television show stunt." Pictured is Frels.
