...Blase. To the imperious New York Yankees the only difference between their two potential series opponents was the 25,000-seat cushion of the Dodgers' Chavez Ravine over the Giants' Candlestick Park. Celebrating their own pennant, the 27th in 41 years, the Yanks were the image of champagne-sipping nonchalance. "Why should I be excited," sniffed Roger Maris, taking the series in his usual stride. "It's something we expected all along." But the Yankees do not have quite that much to be blasé about. If Maris was last year's home-run terror...
Frontier Foothold. It was no ordinary Indian pueblo. Out of the dirt came objects that had been used by 16th century Spaniards: bits of chain mail, parts of a helmet, an iron cannon ball, a carved piece of bone, a bronze candlestick base and the cover of a copper vessel probably used in celebrating Mass.

For the first time in three years the Giant hopes don't rest on the erratic shoulders of McCovey...
...Louis, the second on Clemente's sacrifice fly (scoring San Francisco's Willie Mays), the third on a pinch home run by Chicago's George Altman. The American League tied the game in the ninth when howling winds turned the contest in San Francisco's Candlestick Park into a Little League affair-there were a record seven errors, a passed ball and a balk-and went ahead 4-3 in the tenth on an unearned run. But when Baltimore's Hoyt Wilhelm went to the mound, four Negro batsmen pushed across two runs...
