...pitcher, 19-year-old Wally Bunker (season's record: 14-4), worked only four big-league innings before this year. The best run producer, hulking Outfielder Boog Powell (31 home runs, 80 RBIs), is sidelined with a chipped bone in his wrist.

The No. 1 relief pitcher, Stu Miller, a $30,000 man, has given up 10 runs in his last 17 innings...

And Shortstop Luis Aparicio, no longer bothered by the mysterious leg pains that slowed him down last year, has already stolen...
...University of Minnesota: baseball's college world series, for the third time, beating the University of Missouri 5-1 in the final game, on the four-hit pitching of Joe Pollock and the headlong base-running of Second Baseman Dewey Markus, who then signed a contract with the Chicago Cubs...
