...Yankees have an edge on the mound--unless Luis Arroyo falls apart. Whitey Ford (25-4) is currently the greatest "money" pitcher going, and Ralph Terry (16-3), Bill Stafford (14-8), Jim Coates (11-5), and Roland Sheldon (11-5) comprise the longest and most effective rotation in baseball...
...went, all through the day and into the night. Groucho Marx showed up, and so did Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick, Hugh O'Brian, Hugh Downs, Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford, Phil Silvers, Hal March, Jack Dempsey, Rocky Marciano. Kyle Rote. Charley Conerly. Frank Gifford, James A. Farley. Jackie Gleason could not make it, but he sent a mass of fall flowers and a pal's salutation, which began: "Dear Clam Head...
...PITCHING. Younger pitchers nursed sore arms and cursed the "rabbit ball," but New York's Whitey Ford, 33, and Milwaukee's Warren Spahn, 40, kept on winning ball games.

Coldly and efficiently, the Yankees butchered the hapless Cincinnati Reds in five games, won their 19th world championship without even working up a sweat. Growled...
First game, to be sure, was fairly close: Whitey Ford gave up two hits, Cincinnati's Jim O'Toole gave up two home runs as the Yankees won 2-0. And in the second, Cincinnati's Joey Jay pitched a neat four-hitter to square the series. That set the stage for Yankee Outfielder Roger Maris. Emotionally and physically exhausted after his season-long assault on Babe Ruth's home-run record, Slugger Maris was still looking for his first Series hit when he came to bat in the ninth inning of the third game.
