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.

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.

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.

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. Robin Roberts got out of a critical bases 
loaded jam late in the game and pick up a cheap save.

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”

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.
