I am also aware that the Shakespeare Festival in Ontario has broadened its offerings to include Oedipus Rex, Cyrano de Bergerac, and H.M.S. Pinafore.

Tommy Davis (.335) completes what is clearly the superior outfield. Julian Javier (.277) at second is a surprise, but then League has a dearth of really good second sackers, Ken Boyer (.311) is easily the best third baseman in the business, and Bill White (.328) is a superb first baseman in a League which has a lot of excellent ones. Dick Groat (.325) at short and Ed Bailey...
