'59 Pale Hose take 3 from '82 Wallbangers

Game 1 at Milw: Wynn vs Caldwell
Sox blow late lead. Brewers get 2 in 8th to win 4-3. Oglivie homer and a Yount double scored the runs. Sherm Lollar's 3-run homer in 1st only pale hose runs

Game 2 at Milw: Shaw vs Vuckovich
Luis Aparicio's lead off 10th inning triple and Torgesons sac fly give Sox 2-1 win and even series. Bob Shaw goes 10 innings for CG win. Pete Vuchovich pitches well in loss

Game 3 at Chic: McClure vs Pierce
Battle of lefty's results in 10-4 WSox win. Billy Pierce overcame a rocky start to finish the game. 7 WSox batters had at least 2 hits as a 4 run 4th and a 3 run 6th buried the Wallbangers. 7 WSox players had at least 1 run and of course the Sox had no homers.

Game 4 at Chic: Haas vs Donovan
Dick Donovan shuts down powerful Brewer bats as Sox take series with 5-1 win. Donovan with a nifty CG 3-hitter.

NOTE: A mistake was made as no DH was used for last 2 games which were at 59 sox anyway who used no DH. If the DH was used in those games the Brewers would have had to answer to big Ted Klusewski anyway....

List the turning point. Aparicios triple in game 2 to lead off the 10th
Who would you consider the MVP and why ? Sherm Lollar for hitting .373 and his handling the starting staff. -submitted by Dan Holm-
