Omar Bradley, Matt Ridgwayand Max Taylor, Nate Twining and Curt LeMay, Arthur Radford and Arleigh Burke-the very names still conjure up images of flaming cannon, of contrails across enemy skies, of destroyers heading into battle at flank speed. It detracts nothing from their successors to say that the names of "Bus" Wheeler, "Johnny" Johnson, "Dave" McDonald, "J. P." McConnell and "Wally" Greene are hardly household words...

Then Cardinal Starter Curt Simmons gave way to Reliefer Barney Schultz, an ancient knuckleballer who had knocked around 19 teams in 21 years. Up came Mickey Mantle, whose second error of the Series had set up the lone St. Louis run. "I was wearing the horns," said Mantle afterward. "I had to do something."
