...four weary seasons Cincinnati's Jim Brosnan trudged through the National League as a journeyman pitcher. This year, Brosnan has become a star. Against San Francisco last week, he sauntered to the mound in the eleventh inning, gave up no runs in two innings, and was credited with the 3-2 victory. That gave Brosnan a record of 6-2 (he has saved a dozen other games), lowered his e.r.a. to 2.33, second in the league only to the 2.30 of the Cardinals' Lindy McDaniel, and proved again that he has developed into one of the best relief...

He has tumbled over the fence in Yankee Stadium while trying to get his glove on a home run. After a game, Maris, brooding over...
...recalls, "because it was so even: 121 strike-outs and 129 walks." But at Kingsport, Dalkowski earned a trip to the Orioles' spring training camp with an incredible performance: 24 strike-outs in a single game, despite the fact that he failed to last the full nine innings. Against the Cincinnati Reds in an exhibition game, Dalkowski hurled the ninth inning, struck out the side on only twelve pitches. But he was so wild that Oriole hitters disappeared when Dalkowski took his turn pitching batting practice. Explains Stockton Manager Billy DeMars: "They were career men, and they didn...
