Oliver was supposed to make the Dodgers forget former All-Star second baseman Charlie Neal, and push Jim Gilliam closer to retirement. His glove won him the 2B job on Opening Day in 1963, and again in 1966, but his bat did not let him keep it. An accomplished singer, he cut a record album, and often performed "The Star Spangled Banner." (TG)
