...only curves left. First Baseman Dick Gernert and Third Baseman Frank Malzone walloped a couple of them out of leftfield, and the Sox went on to win no. No other American League pitcher has tossed up four home-run balls in a single inning since Philadelphia's George Caster gave the Red Sox the same sort of gift in 1940. Said Pitcher McLish: "I gave them "a variety of pitches. It was nothing, really...
