New York City.
Lolich received the award for

Southern Cal took over the top

Penn State, # 8, Syracuse, #ll,

Post-World Series Observations:
Although the World Series is now history for 1968, some fur
ther observations are noted thusly:
The two teams who led the home attendance records for 1968
were in the series —St. Louis 'in the National and Detroit in
the American. Most of the other teams had slack seasons at
the gate.
The worm finally turned on the Cards’ Bob Gibson. Instead
of his winning three games, it was a lesser-known pitcher Mic
key Lolich who did the trick this year. Lolich had been belittled
by WSB-TV baseball announcer Milo Hamilton as sort of second
class hurler. Lolich did very well for a second class hurler!
The Cardinals, known for their speed on the bases as well as
the outfield, “flubbed the dub” in both departments Thursday in
the final game. They even tried to steal bases when the pitcher
had the ball, and, believe you me, that’s hard for even the Rook
ie Appalachian Leaguers to do. Lou Brock and Curt Flood both
aimlessly wondered off first base and were caught in rundowns
—all in one inning.
The long ball really had its place in the series this year. Car
dinal spray hitters failed to match the power of the potent De
troit lineup. In fact Jim Northrup hit one so far to centerfield
in the final game that Flood lost the ball and let it fall for a tri
ple after he stumbled.
Eddie Mathews, one of the all-time greats of the Braves (in
Boston, Milwaukee and Atlanta) got into the series for Detroit.
Eddie is now retiring from baseball. Also, Roger Maris is quit
ting this year to enter the beer business in Gainesville, Fla.
Impotency of the Cardinal bats was shown in the final 26 inn
ings of the series. They scored only two runs in those last 26
times at bat.
Now, let’s reminisce a little! If you are a veteran of World
War 11, just where were you in October of 1945 when the Detroit
Tigers won the 1945 World Series? If you were in the far Paci
fic area you probably heard the games beamed by radio through
a London, England, station. (At 2 A. M. in the morning).
