A.L. Champions Lousiana Lightningvs. N.L. Champions Beard Black Cats
SPB60-1956 WORLD SERIES GAME 1 SPB-60 World Series An epic matchup between Rick Ryan powerful Beard Black Cats and Mike See’s 3 time defending SPB-60 World Champion Louisiana Lightning. Vegas odds makers put the line on this series as EVEN, with two great hitting teams with solid pitching. It looked to be a very high octane series with the likes of Mantle and Adcock at the plate. Game 1 @ Louisiana - The Lightning sent Don Newcombe (20-10) to the hill against the Beard ace Tom Brewer (22-6). In a back and forth struggle, the Lightning prevailed by a score of 4-3. Jim Lemon went 1-4 for a HR and 2 RBI and Ernie Banks plated what proved to be the winning run on a ground out in the 5th inning. Don Newcombe settled down after a rough 1st inning (late night I guess) and went 7 innings for the “W.” Ray Narleski tossed 2 hitless innings for his 1st save of the series. The Black Cats Pete Runnels went 3-4 in a losing cause. “We couldn’t touch Newc or Narleski after the 4th inning!” said Black Cats 1B Joe Adcock, “Hats off to those guys for pitching a hell of a game.” Lightning lead series 1-0. 10/3/1956, BBC56-LOU56, K.C.

SPB60-1956 WORLD SERIES GAME 2 Game 2 @ Louisiana - The Lightning made a late decision to go with Connie Johnson (17-9) over left-handed ace Jack Harshman (21-6), who would pitch in the pen for the series. The Black Cats send Dick Donovan (23-5) to the hill. The Black Cats erupted for 15 runs on 19 hits and Dick Donovan shut down the vaunted Lightning over 8 innings and Beard won easily 15-1. Jimmy Piersall went 3-5 with his 2nd HR of the series and 5 RBI and Jackie Jensen got over his air fright, going 4-6 with a HR with 3 RBI. Needless to say that Lightning manager Mike See regretted starting Connie Johnson, who got bombed for 6 runs in just 2 innings of work. “Do I regret starting Connie?” a reporter asked See after the game, “Did Japan regret not surrendering before we dropped the A-Bomb?” See responded. The series was now tied at 1-1. 10/4/1956, BBC56-LOU56, K.C.

SPB60-1956 WORLD SERIES GAME 3 Game 3 @ Beard – This was the game of the series. Beard sent fellow Miami, OH Alum Brooks Lawrence (13-6) to the mound against 39 year old Sal “The Barber” Maglie (16-5). Neither starter lasted past the 5th and this became a game of the bullpens. Beard took a 7-3 lead in the 6th, only to see Louisiana battle back in 8th to tie the game a 7-7. Both bullpens, especially the Black Cats Tommy Byrne and the Lightning’s Ray Narleski and starter turned reliever Jack Harschman, were great, until the top of the bottom of the 12th. This was probably the most daring moment of the series. Harshman got the 1st two outs easily, but then Pete Runnels walked and took second on a wild pitch… Manager See went to the mound. “I told Jack the Jensen and Adcock crush left handers into oblivion in their sleep,” he said, “When I told him I wanted him to intentional walk both of them to load the bases, he almost lost it.” But that’s what they did, two straight intentional walks brought up C Del Crandall, and Harshman got him to ground out to 3rd to end the threat. The game went on to the 13th inning and with two outs, Mickey Mantle walked. Ernie Banks followed with a single and Gil Hodges stepped to the plate. On a 3-2 pitch, Hodges launched a 3 run HR into the Beard Bleachers to put the Lightning up 10-7. The life was sucked out of Black Cats Field. Jack Harshman slammed the door in the bottom of the inning and the Lightning stole victory from the jaws of defeat “I am still in disbelief that we won this game,” said Mike See, “I am starting to feel a little better about having Jack in the pen now.” Lightning lead the series 2-1. 10/6/1956, LOU56-BBC56, Crosley Field 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 1956 Lightning 1 0 0 0 3 0 0 3 0 0 0 0 1956 Black Cats 0 0 0 2 0 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 13 R H E LOB DP 1956 Lightning 3 10 12 0 11 2 1956 Black Cats 0 7 9 1 7 1 Lightning AB R H BI AVG Black Cats AB R H BI AVG Hemus 2b 6 2 2 1 .250 Minoso lf 5 1 1 0 .333 Lopata c 6 1 2 2 .385 Runnels 2b 4 2 4 0 .692 Mantle cf 4 2 0 0 .083 Jensen rf 4 1 1 0 .357 Banks ss 6 1 2 0 .143 Adcock 1b 5 1 1 3 .357 Hodges 1b 3 1 1 3 .400 Bailey c 2 1 0 0 .300 Lemon J lf 6 1 2 3 .308 Adams ph 1 0 0 0 .000 Post rf 4 0 0 0 .000 Crandall c 2 0 0 0 .000 Schoendienst 2b 2 0 0 0 .000 Piersall cf 6 1 1 4 .333 Rosen 3b 3 0 0 0 .000 Groat ss 4 0 0 0 .000 Small ph 1 1 1 0 1.000 Coleman J ph 2 0 0 0 .333 LaPalme p 0 0 0 0 .000 Thompson H 3b 3 0 0 0 .125 Narleski p 1 0 0 0 .000 Miksis ph 3 0 0 0 .000 Carroll ph 1 0 0 0 .000 Lawrence p 1 0 0 0 .000 Harshman p 0 0 0 0 .000 Miller R J p 0 0 0 0 .000 Maglie p 3 0 0 0 .000 Rhodes ph 1 0 0 0 .000 Acker p 0 0 0 0 .000 Phillips T p 0 0 0 0 .000 Caffie ph 3 1 2 1 .667 Francona ph 1 0 0 0 .000 49 10 12 10 Friend B p 0 0 0 0 .000 Face p 0 0 0 0 .000 Freeman p 0 0 0 0 .000 Phillips B ph 1 0 1 0 1.000 Byrne p 1 0 0 0 .000 46 7 9 7 Lightning INN H R ER BB K PCH STR ERA Maglie 5.0 3 4 4 2 2 72 39 7.20 Acker BS 1 2.0 4 3 3 1 1 45 24 13.50 LaPalme 1.0 0 0 0 0 0 8 5 0.00 Narleski 3.0 2 0 0 0 2 28 22 0.00 Harshman W 1-0 2.0 0 0 0 3 0 35 16 9.00 13.0 9 7 7 6 5 188 106 Black Cats INN H R ER BB K PCH STR ERA Lawrence 4.2 4 4 4 5 4 97 51 7.71 Miller R J 0.1 0 0 0 0 0 2 1 0.00 Phillips T 2.0 0 0 0 0 2 21 14 0.00 Friend B H 1 0.1 2 2 2 0 0 10 6 54.00 Face BS 1 0.1 2 1 1 1 0 9 4 6.75 Freeman 1.1 0 0 0 1 1 14 7 0.00 Byrne L 0-1 4.0 4 3 3 1 5 69 47 6.75 13.0 12 10 10 8 12 222 130 LOU: Small batted for Rosen in the 8th Caffie batted for Acker in the 8th Hemus moved to 3b in the 8th Lemon J moved to rf in the 8th Schoendienst inserted at 2b in the 8th Caffie moved to lf in the 8th Carroll batted for Narleski in the 12th BBC: Rhodes batted for Miller R J in the 5th Francona batted for Phillips T in the 7th Adams batted for Bailey in the 8th Crandall inserted at c in the 9th Miksis batted for Thompson H in the 9th Phillips B batted for Freeman in the 9th Miksis moved to 3b in the 10th Coleman J batted for Groat in the 11th Coleman J moved to ss in the 12th E-Groat. 2B-Hemus(1), Lopata 2(2).

SPB60-1956 WORLD SERIES GAME 4 Game 4 @ Beard – A rematch of game 1 starters, and once again, it was Don Newcombe prevailing over Tom Brewer, as the Lightning offense finally woke up, exploding for 9 runs and holding on for a 9-6 win and giving them a commanding 3-1 series lead. Wally Post had the big hit of the game, launch a 4th inning 3-run HR that put the Lightning up 6-1, and they never looked back. Newcombe gets his second win of the series, launching a HR as well, and Brewer his second loss. Jackie Jensen went 3-4 in this loss and SS Dick Groat went 2-5 with 3 RBI. Stan Lopata also added a HR for the Lightning, who now had a decision to make going into game 5 on a starter.

SPB60-1956 WORLD SERIES GAME 5 Game 5 @ Beard – Manager Mike See now had a chance to correct his earlier mistake of starting Connie Johnson over Jack Harshman. Most pundits though Harshman would be on the mound in Game 5. But nope, it was Connie again going up against Dick Donovan for the Black Cats. “I like having Jack’s arm in the pen,” said See “Connie’s a good pitcher, he can do this.” Once again, much to the chagrin of Manager See…..Connie exploded like the 4th of July, barely last an inning, giving up 7 hits and 5 runs before See had enough. Frank Sullivan did not fare much better, as he watched Minoso, Runnels and Jensen each collect 4 hits and 7 RBI between them. Even sub 3B Bubba Phillips could not be stopped, going 3-5 with HR! In all, Beard scores 14 more runs this time, in route to a 14-4 thrashing, cutting the series lead to 3-2. Manager Ryan was confident in his team after the game and heading back to Louisiana for Game 6 “We’ll be going back to Brewer in Game 6 said Ryan after the game, our bats are red hot right now, and with 39 year old Sal Maglie on the hill for game 6, youth was on his side as well. See defended his decision once again after the game “Yeah….Connie sucked again today. Next question. Here the bottom line. We are up 3-2 and I have the best lefty right combo avail in my pen. I am feeling pretty good about that, added See” 10/8/1956, LOU56-BBC56, Crosley Field 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E LOB DP 1956 Lightning 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 2 4 9 0 9 1 1956 Black Cats 1 7 0 0 1 4 0 1 x 14 22 0 12 0 Lightning AB R H BI AVG Black Cats AB R H BI AVG Schoendienst 2b 4 0 2 0 .200 Minoso lf 5 3 4 0 .450 Lopata c 5 0 0 0 .273 Runnels 2b 4 2 4 2 .667 Mantle cf 4 0 1 0 .118 Jensen rf 6 1 4 5 .500 Banks ss 5 2 2 1 .208 Adcock 1b 6 1 1 1 .240 Hodges 1b 3 0 0 0 .250 Bailey c 3 1 1 3 .333 Lemon J lf 4 0 1 0 .286 Crandall ph 2 0 0 0 .000 Post rf 3 1 1 2 .125 Piersall cf 5 0 3 0 .400 Rosen 3b 3 1 2 1 .214 Groat ss 5 2 2 0 .167 Johnson C p 0 0 0 0 .000 Donovan p 3 2 1 0 .250 Sullivan F p 2 0 0 0 .000 Chakales p 0 0 0 0 .000 Margoneri p 1 0 0 0 .000 Phillips B 3b 5 2 2 3 .429 Small ph 1 0 0 0 .500 44 14 22 14 35 4 9 4 Lightning INN H R ER BB K PCH STR ERA Johnson C L 0-2 1.1 7 5 5 1 0 37 27 29.70 Sullivan F 4.1 11 8 8 3 2 79 50 15.95 Margoneri 2.1 4 1 1 2 1 52 29 2.08 8.0 22 14 14 6 3 168 106 Black Cats INN H R ER BB K PCH STR ERA Donovan W 2-0 8.0 8 4 4 2 3 128 82 2.81 Chakales 1.0 1 0 0 1 0 13 6 6.75 9.0 9 4 4 3 3 141 88 LOU: Small batted for Margoneri in the 9th BBC: Crandall batted for Bailey in the 7th Crandall moved to c in the 8th 2B-Groat(2). 3B-Jensen(1).

SPB60-1956 WORLD SERIES GAME 6 Game 6 @ Louisiana - The Lightning sent old man Sal Maglie to the mound to face off this time again Cats ace Tom Brewer, who would try to force a decisive Game 7. It was the Lightning though who jumped on Brewer for a quick 3-0 lead after 2 innings, capped by a big Al Rosen HR. (Al is in his 4th and final season with the Lightning, announcing his retirement at the end of the season). Beard cut the lead to 3-1 in the 3rd the incredible Bubba Phillips hit his 2nd HR of the series. In stayed that way into the 6th, but when Maglie appeared to be tiring, See turned the ball to his former starter Jack Harshman. Harshman sealed the deal for the rest of the game, closing out the game and the series by a final score of 6-1, as Harshman leaped into Stan Lopata’s arms and the champagne celebration began for the Lightning’s 4th consecutive SPB-60 title. Series Notes: The 4th consecutive SPB title matches an all-time record for all of SPB. Mike Cascarano’s Hollywood Stars are the only other SPB Team to win 4 straight (SPB-3 1928-31). Mickey Mantle batted .111 for the series in no extra base hits after nearly winning the triple crown. He did have 11 walks (7 intentional) for a .448 OBP though. The Black Cats out hit and out pitched the Lightning for the series, but the Lightning found a way to get the right hits at the critical moments, and the Lightning bullpen, Narleski and Harshman, proved to be a big difference maker. A World Series MVP Quadrella – Since there was not really one standout, l have (4) players sharing the MVP award, they are SP Don Newcombe (2 wins) along with CL Ray Narleski (5 scoreless innings, with a save and 3 critical scoreless inning in the extra inning Game 3 win. RP Jack Harshman proved to be a force in the pen with a critical game 3 win and a game clinching save, and 1B Gil Hodges got on base a lot via the walk, but his 13th inning HR in game 3 was really the moment that swung the momentum of the entire series to the Lightning in a game they probably should have lost. I am still quite stunned that we were outhit and out pitched so badly, and managed to win this series. Really was a lot like the real 1960 World Series. All in all a very fun series that Rick and I played H2H. Congrats of course to Rick on a great season, he has a great team, one that will be a force to be reckoned with for year to come. 10/10/1956, BBC56-LOU56, K.C.
