The records prove that Gordon was right They look good enough to win the AL pennant by 10 games this season They may not finish third Along with many others I can't pick a team that should win by eight or 10 games and can’t win by even one game There is more to a baseball team than hitting and pitching A ball club can have spirit and a soul as well as a lone competitor They road Cast of fha Dodgers The Brooklyn Dodgers last season were very much of the Red Sox type They had all that it takes — but they didn’t take it I was sitting with Eddie Sawyer headman of the Phillies and in my book one of baseball's managers Eddie was picking the Dodgers “How can you beat ’em?" be asked “with sill that man power — everything?" “How did you beat ’em last year?” I asked "They still had a much better ball club” ‘Taka it this way” Sawyer said "Look at the ballplayers I have— the Giants have —the Braves have How can you beat out a club that haa Campanella back of the bat Hodgea on first base Robinson on second Reese at short anybody at third with Snyder and Furlllo In the outfield?
