Major Southworth Srts Not Betting On Cards In World Series
Maj Billy Southworth Jr declares he will not bet on the St Louis Cardinals against the New York Yankees, citing superstition as he remains distant from home plate. Marine Major Gregory Boyington offers a wartime wager: 13 enemy planes for each winning team cap, while his squadron aims to back the South Pacific winner with a clean sweep. A separate Saginaw wall-find reveals a 15-year prisoned pure white frog that later returned to green before hopping away.
