Feb. 11, 1961 – The 39 homers and 124 RBIs driven in last year by Eddie Mathews (pictured between Hank Aaron and Joe Adcock) paid off today for the hard-hitting third baseman of the Milwaukee Braves. Mathews signed his 1961 contract for $60,000. The 29-year-old slugger was the runner-up to teammate Hank Aaron for National League RBI honors in 1960. Mathews has hit 338 homers since becoming a regular in 1952. He is twelfth on the major league list of home run hitters.
