Notes & reviews

  • Duke Snider bobbled the ball and Andy Pafko picked it up
  • Dodgers Williams and Branca, neither in game, ejected by HP umpire Barlick for bench jockeying
  • Dodgers Labine, Newcombe and Robinson ejected by HP umpire Barlick for arguing balls and strikes; Dodgers manager Dressen sent his players to the clubhouse to prevent any more ejections; when he needed a substitute, the players took their time coming back to the field
  • it took Abrams three minutes to come in from the bullpen to pinch hit
  • it took 5 minutes for Terwilliger to come to the field
  • HP umpire Barlick warned Haugstad who hit homson and threw at Willie Mays
