...CHICAGO--The White Sox have always had the best pitching in the American League; their problem has always been hitting. But two winter deals may have solved everything. From the Mets, Eddie Stanky's boys got two-time N.L. batting champ, Tommy Davis, and from Baltimore came shortstop Louis Aparicio. If Pete Ward and Duane Josephson have big years at the plate, and if Comiskey Park is still standing after the summer, then Chicago will...
...miracle than norm for a staff that compiled only 22 complete games all year. Their relievers saved them last year, but Stu Miller is approaching 40, Moe Drabowsky's 7-0 record was preceded by a 48-81 and 4.19 ERA lifetime mark, and Dick Hall is gone.

Rookie Pitcher Wally Bunker, 19, won his first six straight. And Shortstop Luis Aparicio, no longer bothered by the mysterious leg pains that slowed him down last year, has already stolen 31 bases-tops in either league...
