Mickey Mantle had two Ks beside his name in the scorebook before he managed an infield pop-up-and drop-kicked his batting helmet halfway to the dugout. At last, Tommy Tresh got to Koufax for a two-run homer. But Bobby Richardson, who struck out only 22 times all season, whiffed three times. "That," muttered a Yankee, "is an act of God."
