DODGERS ON THE SET

These three members of the world-champion Los Angeles Dodgers have a new answer to the spring training camp question, "What'd you do over the winter?" They were TV actors.

Pitcher Don Drysdale drew some relatively happy roles; he portrayed a fast-draw trail rider for ABC's Lawman and a lady-killing ballplayer for CBS's The Millionaire. Outfielder Wally Moon, as a marshal on NBC's Wagon Train, and Pitcher Sandy Koufax, as a cavalryman on ABC's Colt 45, drew rougher scripts. Both get shot—perhaps just in time to let them get back to their baseball.
