You were the politics kid at SUSB. Hey, you didn't note one of the great teams that didn't win the Series...1960 Yanks. They outscored the Pirates by 469 runs in 7 games but came up short...or should I say second like in Mazerowski! Everyone blames Ralph Terry but it was Jim Coates who blew the lead he was given. I think Casey Stengel fell asleep on the bench before he realized Coates was blowing it. Mantle, Maris, Berra, Skowron, Howard, Blanchard, Kubek, Richardson, Boyer on the field. Pitching was led by Whitey, Bill Terry, Art Ditmar and Whitey's personal closer Louis Arroyo from the Newark Bears. Oh, OK...the pitching wasn't great but the run support they got was great. What is often overlooked is the defense of the team. Mantle was a very good center fielder, not as good as Mays but he could run down his mistakes. Maris was an excellent fielder with a great arm. Kubek and Richardson were great up the middle. Clete Boyer at third was a better fielder than his brother but never got the recognition. Ellie was real strong behind the plate. Skowron was very steady and certainly used the right field porch to his advantage before he was traded to LA. Yogi watched Maz's HR go over his head with Ellie behind the plate and that was that.

This was one of the few blogs I actually knew what the hell you were talking about. Maybe you should write about sports more often.
