Notes & reviews

off the left field wall
down the left field line
Dark's throw to first was wild but Raschi out trying for 2nd
Stanky kicked the ball from Rizzuto's hands
JFB: C/N have Westrum with error for dropping a pitch JFB: but it's not linked to the walk. DWS: This is still an error by the rules of 1951. Not changed until 1957
