...Notre Dame to its most disastrous season (2 won, 8 lost) since it started playing football in 1887.

The tireless outfielder, who gets his pep from a diet of blackstrap molasses and sunflower-seed oil, waited until the eleventh inning, while Whitey Ford, his sore arm suddenly healthy, held the Sox to a 1-to-1 tie. Then, Enos stepped to the plate, took an effortless swing at the first pitch and sent the ball high and far into the right center-field stands.
