There was Shortstop Pee Wee Reese, a remarkably chipper 37 despite 14 seasons of big-league ball. And there, walking out to the mound to hold off the challengers, was the granddaddy of the squad, Sal Maglie, a scowling, blue-bearded craftsman uncomfortably close...
...First Game belonged to Maglie. Slaughter reached him for a single and then a brash youngster named Mickey Mantle clouted a two-run homer. Sal was magnificently unconcerned.

Almost reluctantly, the Braves went out in front in the eighth inning. Leftfielder Bobby Thomson promptly put an end to that rally by thoughtlessly trying to steal home. Apoplectic...
