Stan the Man Says— Series Should 3 Be Good, Close
Bv STAN MUSIAL (Baseball's Greatest Plaver) Convrizht 14951 by New York Weorld-Telegram
NEW. YORK, Oct. 4—Being a newspaperman,
Corporation
I've got to be neutral in the World Series. I'm not going to
réot either way and I won't try to pick the winner. I'm Just looking forward to a good, close ‘series, and I expect to see a lot of real pitching. I think the Giants will give a good account of themselves. They've really been rolling the last several weeks, and that win yesterday should send them into the series with a terrific lift. Generally I get to see the Yankees in the spring, but they trained in Arizona this year so I'm out of touch with them. I've never seen Mantle or McDougald. But I do know that the Yankees have three very fine pitchers. In fact, they've had great pitching for four or five years, and the funny thing is those Yankee pitchers never seem to get quite enough credit. I think they've been winning pennants on pitching. THAT game yesterday was the most dramatic thing | ever saw in baseball. I'm just lost for words about it. I'm more excited watching a game than | am playing, and no game could have been more exciting than this one the way it finished.
5 " n u » = BOBBY THOMSON said he hit the home run on a bad pitch. He told some of the writers that “a good hitter like Musial wouldn't have swung at it.” : Thanks, Bob, but from where I was sitting it looked like a good pitch to hit. I was behind the Giant dugout, between home and first base. To me it looked like a high inside fastball, and I think if I was Thomson I would have gone for it. But the angle sometimes fools you. Maybe from where Thomson was standing it really wasn't a good pitch. You see things'a little different from the stands. I thought Irvin was out at third on that bunt play and so did the fans around me. But the umpire was right on top of it, and Cox didn't have anything to say, tne man must have been safe. I ‘thought that bunt was one of the kev plays. Brooklyn was ahead 1-0 in the seventh, and Irvin led off with a double. Leo had Lockman bunting, and it got him a run when Thomson hit the fly ball. That was pretty good strategy. It must have been a hard decision for Leo, because- he knows that Lockman can pull the ball and has a chance to get a scoring hit. Personally, But it worked out for Leo just the way he planned it, because he was ptaving for one run at the time. ANOTHER key play was the hit Dark got in the ninth. Hodges
got his glove on .it but couldnt make a play, and that gave the Giants thet opening,
80
too,
Ld " » ” OF COURSE, Thomson's homer was the real big play. I heard some fans saying Brooklyn should have walked Thomson. Never. He's the winning run, and there's nothing to do but pitch to him. If you put him on, a hit that gets away from an outfielder will score three runs. If you pitch to Thomson, he has to hit a home run to beat you. He did it, but the percentage stil] is to pitch to him. No manager would have walked him. I wasn't surprised when Dressen brought in Branca. The rest of the Brooklyn staff was pretty well worked out, and Branca had done well against the Giants in the Don't let anybody kid you about Branca. He throws hard and he wauts to win, He's a tough
