Red Sox Rise Sparks Boston Baseball Theatre
A veteran look at the 1940s Red Sox under Cronin shows hitting and pitching power lifting Boston toward hopeful July contention. The piece notes Ted Williams Johnny Pesky and Bobby Doerr among hot hitters, Mickey Harris’ six straight wins, and solid support from Hughson Dobson and Ferriss, with a wary eye on October. The writer compares rivals Cardinals Dodgers and others, praising Terry Moore’s comeback and Billy Southworth’s Braves improvements while warning a late-summer slump could hit Boston.
