His leg injured from a plane crash in occupied France, Roy Tucker was rescued by the Underground and discharged right after the war. The Dodgers welcomed him back to his old center-field position, but the Kid couldn't hold it. His leg injury was too great a handicap. Doctors did all they could, and the rest was up to Roy. But he was a clutch player, the Kid from Tomkinsville, and ready to prove it.
