Also the season the Indians who won 111 games fell to the Giants in the WS. Here's the irony to the whole story. The same organization while in Boston in 1948, their opponents would "pray for rain." "Spahn and Sain and for rain." 6 years later as the franchise relocated to Milwaukee, there was rain on June 2, 1954 and it caused havoc and mayhem.
This was great!! Thanks Paul! I NEVER heard that story before. Thank you for the great in depth piece on it. And in '54 the Dodgers finally did "Wait till next year."
I confess I had to think about it for a minute, but I got there eventually--great observation. This was the one year when the maxim proved true. Thanks Jordan!
