"Don't look back, Someone might be gaining on you!"
Sachel Paige, Hall of Fame
It is September 17, 1965. The Los Angeles Dodgers 89-58) are in first place, 1 1/2 games ahead of the San Francisco Giants (87-59), and 5 1/2 games in front of the third place Cincinnati Reds (83-64).
The Dodgers will play the St. Louis Cardinals tonight in Busch Stadium after being blasted by the Chicago Cubs, 12-3. Chicago was powered by two three-run home runs by Ron Santo and solo homers by Billy Williams and Don Kessinger.
Sandy Koufax leads the Dodgers pitching staff with a 23-10 record and an ERA of 2.12. The entire Dodger pitching staffs has a combined ERA of 2.68. Unfortunately, the Dodger hitters have a combine batting average of .245.
Will pitching prevail and win the pennant? There is only 16 games left in the season and the Giants and Reds are breathing down the Dodgers' neck. We will see.
