...While he and his teammates floundered along, nine games off the pace, the Giants' dour Don Mueller kept belting the ball with astonishing regularity. With four hits against the Pittsburgh Pirates, Don boosted his batting average to .407, stretched his hitting streak to 19 straight games...
...cannot take any credit for originality of situation--six passengers and Beauty stranded on a brokendown bus in the middle of the desert--is no drawback in this case.

There is a slightly grating moment when the Apache...

A quiet, conscientious competitor, Mueller got so heated up by his team's pennant fight that he managed to set a record of sorts of his own: last month, for the first time in eleven years of organized baseball, he yammered at an umpire loudly enough to get himself tossed out of a game...
