...good, Casey defied convention. Fenway Park, with its short leftfield foul line, has always been tough for left-hand pitchers. In the afternoon, Casey started Lefty Tommy Byrne-and lost. In the nightcap, when Righty Don Larsen was shelled from the mound, Casey turned stubbornly to another southpaw, stocky Whitey Ford, who is not only a left-hander but also a valuable starter, too important to tire in relief. It turned out to be the right move...
...Yankees looked almost as good as they did in the 1953 World Series-when Martin's last stint produced a heroic .500 batting average, a sixth-game, ninth-inning single that gave the Yankees the crown. Against the Washington Senators Martin sparked his team with two crackling hits. Whitey Ford pitched a brilliant one-hitter, Mickey Mantle slammed out his 36th homer, drove in three runs, winning the game 4-2.

But the team plan vanished quickly. From the day he took over, Brownie Reid has set in motion the biggest overhaul the Trib has undergone in years. Whitey...
...Giants were ahead 5-4. The Dodgers had men on first and third-one out. At the plate, Jackie Robinson laid down a neat bunt to squeeze Runner Don Zimmer home. But Zimmer hesitated on the base path, playing it safe. Steaming across the infield, First Baseman Whitey Lockman scooped up the ball and whipped it home. "Yer out!" screamed Pinelli. "Yer crazy!" yowled Alston. And with half his team's help, he played some colorful variations on the same theme. "You too," said Pinelli, and Alston departed for the evening...
