Sad news for me.... Johnny Podres, one of the great Brooklyn Dodger pitchers, died yesterday at age 75. He beat the Yankees in two games in the '55 Series, giving Brooklyn their World Championship. The Dodgers lost the first two games of the Series and Podres beat the Yanks in the third... tied up at 3 games apiece, Podres shutout the Yanks in the final game and earned the nickname "The Yankee Killer".
R.I.P. Johnny, and thanks for the memories.
P.S. Nobody had him in the Pool.
RIP Johnny.... although as a Yankee fan I never forgave him for the 2-0 shut out in the 55 World Series.
