Pesky’s Record Run Tops Postwar Baseball Feats
Johnny Pesky of the Boston Red Sox emerges as a premier shortstop in postwar baseball, tying and breaking records. He homered and hit six runs in a 14-10 win over the Chicago White Sox, raising his average to .429 and pushing Boston’s streak to 13 consecutive victories. Ted Williams, Rudy York and Bobby Doerr backed the attack as New York’s Yankees stay three and a half back. Don Padgett’s pinch homer in the 10th lifted the Brooklyn Dodgers over the Reds 8-5 to keep the Brooks within a half game of the NL lead.
