The second season is always the toughest. The same disease struck the other 1949 rookies. 2. Phil Rizzuto, the star of the 1949 group, dipped a trifle from his lofty peak. 3. The pitching staff wasnt quite as good as It was last Vic year when Reynolds, Raschl, Lopat and Tommy Byrne, who all had big years, spent part of their time on the soapy chute.
