The Dodgers traded a future Hall of Fame manager for a guy named Rip.

Sparky Anderson, then a longtime minor league infielder better known
as George, was sent to the Phillies for three players. The key for the
Dodgers was Rip Repulski, described in The Times story as "one of the
more dangerous right-handed hitters in the National League." He had 20
home runs with Philadelphia in 1957 and 13 in 1958, including four
pinch-hit homers. The Dodgers also got two minor league pitchers.

Repulski, whose real first name was Eldon, played only 53 games for
the Dodgers and hit two home runs. Anderson hit .218 for the Phillies.
He won World Series titles managing the Reds and Tigers.
