And it was Menshikov who kept waving under Khrushchev's nose angry news...
Then those upstarts Out West decided that movie stars and smog weren't enough--they needed a baseball team also, two in fact. So the Giants finished third and the Dodgers seventh. 1959 prospects looked rosy. Then the ex-Polo Grounders pulled their 1951 rally in reverse, and nails were chewed all along the Big Sur--until Larry Sherry...
