The Bronx Bombers had been shut out five times in the first six weeks of 1959. The pitching was poor too. Last week Yankee Aces Whitey Ford and Bob Turley were both knocked out of the box in the first inning. Muttered Manager Casey Stengel: "Those pitchers of ours will have to do a little better...
