...aging veterans of the two teams canceled each other out (the Dodgers' Hodges, Furillo and Snider v. the White Sox's Wynn, Kluszewski and Lollar). The Dodgers won because their defense turned the touted Chicago go-go attack to molasses. The whiplash throws of Catcher John Roseboro allowed only two White Sox to steal second in the entire Series. The Dodgers' slick infield, built around the double-play combination of Shortstop Maury Wills and Second Baseman Charley Neal, both lean and limber as greyhounds, outmatched Chicago's famed duo of Shortstop Luis Aparicio and Second Baseman...
...that sprawl outside the Coliseum as early as 1 a.m. Dodger Pitcher Don Drysdale had control trouble, but Catcher Roseboro saved him by gunning out three of the touted Chicago speed boys (Rivera, Aparicio, Fox) on attempted steals of second. With the bases loaded in the seventh, gimpy Carl Furillo, 37, came off the Dodger bench to hit a bouncing ball past the frantic glove of Shortstop Aparicio, and drive in two runs.

...again tough in the clutch (79 runs-batted-in), despite a taped ankle and forearm. Although he often rode the bench when southpaws began to throw.

The Dodgers were even getting mileage out of gimpy Carl Furillo, 37, who explained: "I look at the ball, and I see dollar signs instead of stitches...
...Dodgers have a lot of young, wild pitchers, some aging hitters, and the worse they play, the more Los Angeles seems to like it. They should move up at least a notch from last year's finish of seventh, but not much further. Gil Hodges and Carl Furillo are both over 35 and obviously are tapering off. Duke Snider hit .312 last year, but even with the right field fence moved in, his power is wasted in the Coliseum. Wally Moon, a good hitter but a notoriously poor fielder should play some along with Junior Gilliam. Hodges and Charlie Neal...
