The Dodgers tested The Times’ new man in Vero Beach.

John Wiebusch answered 110 true-false questions about baseball game situations that the Dodgers gave all rookies. Al Campanis, then the Dodgers vice president in charge of player personnel, graded Wiebusch’s exam.

Here are two examples:

The runner on first should get a long lead from first base when a hit-and-run sign is given. True or false?

The curve ball is harder to bunt than the fastball. True or false?

Wiebusch, who covered the Angels for The Times and before coming to the paper covered the Minnesota Twins, said he answered 13 questions incorrectly. "You did about as well as we could expect anyone from the American League to do," Campanis said.

How did you do on our two-question quiz? Both answers are false.
