Diamond Hero Reemerges In Palmer Davis Spotlight
In 1966 Koufax’s World Series defeat set Jim Palmer and Willie Davis on center stage. Palmer pitched eight scoreless innings in Florida to halt the Pirates 5-0, while Davis suffered a hairline arm fracture after being hit by a Claude Raymond pitch and will miss three to four weeks. Palmer’s rebound contrasts with Davis who again failed to reach former potential, as Dodgers plan rotator replacements with rookie Bill Russell or Wes Parker.
