Bear Spirit Drives Denver to Lead in Tight AA Race
By The Charleston Gesette Lst June 14 1958 sports editor A L Hardman reports Denver Bears rely on will to win as core hitters slug well and pitching strong but faces risk if staff falters. With a 3 1/2 game lead since May 8, the club benefited from injuries to Jim Pisoni and acquisitions like Fritz Brickell while Curt Roberts earns praise from Bucky Walters who scouts for the Phillies. Roberts, mentored by Andy Cohen since 1951, emerges as a potential big league infielder, echoing past comparisons to Frank Frisch and Bobby Richardson.
