the 21-year-old felix led the sunset league in nearly every offensive category in 1947, including 52 home runs, the second-most ever hit in a pro league by such a young player (tony lazzeri, also then 21, hit 60 hr for salt lake city in 1925, but his team played 200 games). felix was sold to the class aaa hollywood stars of the pacific coast league after the season, but never played for them; instead he wound up with the unaffiliated denver bears of the western league in 1948, and with santa barbara (a dodgers affiliate) in 1949. by 1953, felix was with the aaa montreal royals, but was sent down to the texas league in '54; he never played in the majors.
