Biography

​

“Miksis will fix us” Branch Rickey promised Dodgers fans in 1948. Brooklyn management loved Eddie’s slick fielding, speed, and attitude. The Dodgers thought so highly of the six-feet, 180-pound shortstop, they bought a controlling interest in his minor-league club in 1944 just to get him. Miksis became a valuable major leaguer, but it seemed that every time he was about to get a starting job, a future Hall of Famer beat him out of it.
