Dodgers Poised To Aim For 1957 Title With Strong Depth
Brooklyn Dodgers manager Walter Alston says the club is as good or better than last year and may have the best pitching staff if Campanella Spooner and Podres prove healthy. He notes unresolved second and left field spots and criticizes some early showings while praising core players Hodges Reese Snider Furillo and Campanella. Robinson's absence looms but could be offset by young players. Nineteen San Jose State basketball records were tied or broken in 1956-57.
