Ewell Blackwell gets the start Don Kaiser would have gotten, game 1 of the World Series. The difference in quality is felt immediately. Pete Castiglione hits a 2nd inning grand slam off of Blackwell, and the Dodgers never look back. LA wins game one 10-4.

Bob Miller, the Orioles best starter not injured right now takes the mound for game 2, and does not last very long. 3 walks, 5 singles, and 2 doubles combine for a 7 run Dodgers second inning. Game two final. LA 10, Bal 2.

The Orioles get a fantastic performance from reliever turned starter Jack Faszholz. He pitches all 9 innings, allowing just 5 hits, and 1 run, which came in the form of a solo home run by Dick Wakefield. Problem is Maasaki Koyama was better, he was even more dominant, allowing just 4 hits, in the shutout 1-0 victory, putting the Dodgers on the brink.

Orioles bats finally awaken, sending Lou Brissie to the showers early. They score seven in the 5th inning, and former stopper, now starting out of necessity, Minnie Rojas gets the win. Orioles edge LA 9-8.

Game 5 is a blowout. 20 year old Dodger, Frank Bork was not ready for this, and lasts just 3 innings. Another 7 run inning occurs, this time in the fourth. Ewell Blackwell pitches a complete game shutout, and knocks in 2 with an RBI double. Baltimore stays alive with a 11-0 win.

Lou Brissie is again crushed, and forced to leave the game early. Baltimore jumps out to a huge 8-2 lead, and never looks back. The Orioles force another game 7 with the 9-5 victory.

GAME 7


For the fifth straight season, the World Series will be decided by 1 game.

Maasaki Koyama is still tired, and won’t start game 7. His 154 pitches in game 3 evidently took a lot out of him, and after a few days, he’s still only 43% rested.

The Dodgers are fortunate to only allow 1 run in the third innings, when Baltimore gets 3 hits and a walk. Orioles lead early 1-0.

Two bases loaded walks add two runs to the Baltimore lead the next inning. Young Frank Bork could not find the plate, walking 3 in the innings, and its’ 3-0 Baltimore.

The Dodgers get 2 back in the 6th. Pancho Herrera, acquired in a mid season trade with the Phillies, hits a 2 run home run. LA is back in this thing.

Baltimore responds in a big way. Bob Speake, a CF who hit 12 home runs in 68 game for the Orioles, hits a massive 3 run home run. Baltimore adds another as the result of a Dodger error, and the lead is now 7-2.

Ralph Beard pitches the final 3 innings for Baltimore, allowing just 2 hits, and after trailing 3 game to none, the Baltimore Orioles have won 4 straight to win the World Series!!
