Today in 1960:

Due to his fear of flying, Red Sox outfielder Jackie Jensen announces his retirement. The 1958 MVP will later change his mind.

In 2001 at Sotheby’s I bided on and won many lots of Ozzie Sweets baseball photographic images with the copyrights. In one of the lots was a portrait series on Jackie Jensen for Sport Magazine.

This past week I started work on the Ozzie Sweet images for my web site http://www.ballparkprints.com  next week I’ll have to start working on Jackie Jensen.

On MLB Hot Stove last night, they talked about the new luxury tax system that starts in 2013. Owners made changes to the luxury tax in an effort to get the Yankees, Red Sox and a few other teams to lower there payroll. To me the new luxury tax reads more like a salary cap. It will be interesting to see how this impacts MLB and the players.
