Henshel responds to Allen over AAU saga and Santee case
The exchange centers on Henshel's 1945 Bronze Star and five European campaign stars. Allen mocks the AAU as a "paper" organization after Wes Santee’s suspension over expense allowances, notes Henshel as a "permanent hitchhiker" among officials, and vows quick action. Don Newcombe leads NL in fewest walks among 200-inning pitchers in 1955.
