'57 Giants capture NL flag with sweep of '52 Braves

The National League Championship Series would feature the Boston Braves managed by Terry Priest against the New York Giants managed by Tom Davis.

Game 1 Monday October 8 at the Polo Grounds. Weather is threatening.

Warren Spahn and Johnny Antonelli dueled through five innings, neither team being able to score. After Antonelli got Spahn to strike out to lead off the 6th, the teams were hit by a 70 minute rain delay. Antonelli took the mound, but he had lost his stuff and Sam Jethroe singled. Stu Miller came into pitch and one batter later, Sid Gordon was safe on Daryl Spencer's error. That left Miller to face future Hall of Famer Eddie Mathews. Mathews greeted the Giants' ace reliever with a double and scored both runners. In the bottom of the 7th Ray Jabonski doubled and scored on Don Mueller's two out single. The Giants tied it in the bottom of the 8th on Red Schoendient's two out solo homerun (4). Al Worthington took the mound and allowed one hit over the next three

innings as the teams went into extras. Meanwhile the Braves bullpen worked themselves out of two on nobody out situations in both the 9th and 10th. The 11th looked to be easy as the first Giant lined to short. When Gail Harris hit a routine ground ball to short stop Johnny Logan, it looked like the prior two innings would be reversed and it would two out, none on. But Logan booted the groundball and Harris was safe. Valmy Thomas singled and Schoendienst followed with his fourth hit of the game to load the bases. Danny O'Connell flew to center but Jethroe's throw could not beat Harris and the Giants won 3-2 Worthington was the winner (4-1, 2.55). Virgil Jester took the loss (1-2, 1.61) Giants 3 Braves 2

Game two. Tuesday, October 9 at the Polo Grounds.

The Giants opened the first with five runs off Braves starter Jim Wilson, including a bases emptying double by Gail Harris. The Braves got three back in the third on solo homers by Jethroe (2), Gordon (11) and Mathews (13). All season long, Cy Young winner Curt Barclay had been turning over leads to his bullpen and all season long they have rewarded his faith. Not so on this evening. The darling on the bullpen, Stu Miller, who finished the regular season with a 0.58 era, proceeded to give up twice as many earned runs in one inning as he had all season. After a single and two walks loaded the bases with one out, Johnny Logan atoned for his error of the previous day with a grand slam homer, his first homer of the season.

Daryl Spencer led off the bottom of the 7th with his second homer of the season. Two outs later, Danny O'Connell singled. Mueller singled and Willie Mays walked to load the bases, which Ray Jablonski promptly emptied with a double. Mathews led off the 8th with his second homer of the game (14) but O'Connell answered with a two run shot (2) in the bottom of the inning to finish the scoring. Inexplicably, Miller got the win (3-1, 1.43) with Marv Grissom getting the save (4, 3.86) Wilson took the loss (2-4, 5.95) Giants 11 Braves 7

Game three Thursday, October 10, Braves Field.

Ruben Gomez and Max Surkont were, for the most parts, brilliant in this contest. But the star of the game was Don "Mandrake the Magician" Mueller. The Giants tallied a single run in the 6th on a Spencer single, scoring Jablonsky who had doubled. That would be all Surkont would allow through 8 innings. In the bottom of the 8th, Gomez who had allowed only two hits to this point, surrendered a lead off single to Sid Gordon. After he walked Eddie Mathews, Marv Grissom was summoned from the bullpen. He struck out George Crowe, but gave up a bases

loading single to pinch hitter Bob Thorpe. At this point in the game there was no reason to believe Mandrake would be a hero. He had grounded into three double plays leaving empty bases for Mays. But when Walker Cooper lifted a medium depth fly ball to Mueller in right, he partially redeemed himself by throwing out Sid Gordon at the plate. He fully redeemed himself in the top of the ninth, hitting a two out, three run homer (3). The Braves scored a meaningless run in the bottom of the ninth. Ruben Gomez was the winner (3-3, 4.10), Grissom earning a save (5, 3.93) Surkont took the loss (4-5, 2.47) Giants 4 Braves 1

Game four Friday, October 11, Braves Field.

After three mostly tight contests, this game seemed mostly anticlimactic, as the Braves bade a sad farewell to a city where they had played ball since the first season of the National League in 1976 and even before. Spencer tripled home two in the second and scored on Thomas' sacrifice fly. When Hank Sauer hit a grand slam (7) in the top of the fifth, the fans started saying their good byes. Mostly they

were friendly wishes of good fortune as many fans are transferring their allegiance to the American League Red Sox. One of the owners was heard to say, "We simply couldn't compete with the Red Sox and Ted Williams. Mathews might be great but we got this kid in the minors, Henry "something or other", and he might be the best ever. Only I don't think he can help here in Boston. Just the realities of the situation." The Braves score in the sixth but were unable to manage a hit in the last three innings. Ray Crone was the winner with 7 innings of work (3-2, 4.35). Vern Bickford took the loss. (4-2, 3.65) Giants 7 Braves 1
