Cleveland’s Indians, who won a record 112 games, beat up on second division AL teams to claim the pennant, while the New York Giants demonstrated strong defense led by Mays Thompson and Dark. Considerable debate centers on fielding flaws in Rosen Avila Werte and Doby, with Walt Alston noted for Dodgers managerial fit.
