...game was not yet won, however. Carl Yastrzemski in the top of the tenth saved the tie with a leaping catch off the left field wall of Moose Skowron's line drive. He then ended the inning (see picture) by throwing our at the plate Don Mincher, who was trying to score from second on a single. Yastrzemski threw out the California first baseman, who had given the Angels their early lead with a three-run homer, by a margin so wide that the runner didn't slide...
First Baseman Moose Skowron, late of the Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers and Washington Senators, is hitting a fancy .301. Leftfielder Danny Cater, ex of the Philadelphia Phillies, is the league's No. 3 batter at .328. Catcher John Romano, who bounced from the White Sox to the Cleveland Indians and back again, has three home runs, 16 RBIs to his credit. Pitcher John Buzhardt, who never won more than ten games in any of his six previous big-league seasons, is sporting a 4-0 record and an earned-run average of 1.53-second lowest in the league...

...Washington's neophyte Nats and Finley's flourescent Kansas City Athletics. Rocky Colavito and Jim Gentile have given Finley home run power in any park, and the Senators have managed to get as impressive 137 RBIs (second to Minnesota's astounding 182) from a most unassuming lot. Bill Skowron and Chuck Hinton will louse up many would-be champs...
Meanwhile, the Dodgers made the Yankees look like a farm club. Marvel ous Maury Wills blithely stole second on a pick-off play. Tommy Davis clouted two triples and ran his Series batting average to .625; "Moose" Skowron, still drinking thirstily at the well of revenge, put the game away with a wrong-way homer into the rightfield stands. Final score: Dodgers 4, Yankees...
