Manager Casey Stengel has a cool, battle-hardened pitching staff to throw at the Dodgers: Whitey Ford (17-5), Eddie Lopat (15-3), Vic Raschi (12-5), onetime National Leaguer Johnny Sain (14-6). Backing them up is the greatest money pitcher in either league: Allie Reynolds, who at 34 can still pitch his way out of a tight spot with three...
