1962 World Series

Game 1 saw Mickey Lolich match up with Phil Niekro and the Yankees wasted time in staking their claim as baseballs best team. Don Dillards 2 run single and Frank Whites 2 run homer put them up 4-0 after the first inning and they never looked back. Lolich didn't get out of the sixth inning and backed by 2 homers and 6 RBI for White, the Yankees steamrolled to a 8-1 win.

We scored first in game two on a McCovey RBI double in the top of the first off of Luis Tiant, but once again the Yankees came out swinging. A Willie Jones bases loaded double in the bottom of the first staked them to a 3-1 lead against Joe McClain. We pulled to within a run in the seventh when Aaron singled in Robinson and it stayed that way till the ninth. With two outs in the top of the ninth and Aaron on 2nd, Pinson singled him home to tie the game. It went to the 10th when with two outs and nobody on, Corky Withrow doubled and Bob Addis singled to center field to score the winning run and put the Yankees up 2-0 in the series.

Game 3 in Philly was pretty much do or die for the Phils and Fergie Jenkins was up to the task. He out dueled Phil Ortega, tossing a complete game gem in a 2-1 win in which a Don Clendonon sixth inning RBI double was the difference.

Game 4 saw us bring out the thunder against Yankee starter Juan Pizarro. McCovey smacked two homers and drove in 5 while Cecil Perkins hurled our 2nd straight complete game and we tied the series at two games a piece.

Game 5 was a masterpiece all around as Mickey Lolich rebounded from game ones debacle and toss a complete game, 5 hit shutout. We knocked around Phil Niekro to the tune of 6 runs in seven innings and took a 3-2 series lead with a 7-0 win. Robinson and Aaron each homered and combined for 5 RBI.

The series returned to Yankee Stadium for a game six match up between Joe McClain and Luis Tiant. Corky Withrow broke up a scoreless game in the bottom of the third with a 2 run single to give the Yankees a lead they would never relinquish. Tiants only mistake was a McCovey home run and up 3-1 in the eighth the Yanks broke it open on RBI hits by White, Jones & Lollar as New York won it 6-1 and forced a game seven match up between Fergie Jenkins and Phil Ortega.........

Game seven was all about Fergie Jenkins. The 19 year old stymied Yankees bats, tossing a complete game, 1 run gem. The only mistake being a Jerry Lumpe homer in the sixth inning. RBI hits by Clendonon & Aaron, and run scoring ground out by Robinson in the ninth inning were more than enough as the Phillies took game seven and the 1962 world series with a 3-1 win.

Jenkins posted 18 innings of one run ball in winning both his series starts. Brooks Robinson collected 10 hits while Willie McCovey connected for 3 homers and 8 RBI in the series.
