Bob Curzon of the Vero Beach Press Journal writes about the Dodger payment for their new Convair Model 440 metropolitan plane. “Incidentally, the Dodgers had to cough up $734,908.96 for the plane. A check for this amount was drawn from the Dodgertown operating account at the Indian River Citrus Bank. It was the largest check ever drawn on the bank.” Bob Curzon, Dodgertown Bullpen, Vero Beach Press Journal, March 27, 1957
