Durocher's return to baseball is almost certain to produce a scenario fit for Hollywood. And that is where he will be when he takes his Chicago Cubs into Dodger Stadium.

Is he hysterical or only histrionic? Jack Olsen, in the continuing Cassius Clay series, examines the champion's paradoxical behavior and casts new light on some bizarre episodes.
