  • Surprising Pirates jump from last to 2nd. . .
  • . . . but never seriously challenge Braves!
  • Spahn is again SN Pitcher of the Year
  • and Aaron and Mathews combine for 61 homers
  • Braves lead World Series 3 games to 1, then Bob
  • Turley wins 2, saves 1 and beats Burdette twice

    • Pick your cliche: They had their chances, they could've won it all, they were just
    a few innings away. . .

  • When the Braves held their 3-1 Series lead, it was the high point of their Wisconsin sojourn
  • They were about to repeat as world champs, but didn't!
  • And it was all downhill from there. . . . .
