One summer he sold bottled spring water from a wagon pulled by his dog. At eleven he attended his first presidential nominating convention-the historic, tumultuous Baltimore Democratic Convention that nominated Woodrow Wilson in 1912-as a vendor of peanuts, popcorn, tobacco and chewing...

...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 Nellie Fox (7 double plays...
