First Game Hero Came From Bench To Glory
ST LOUIS AP Whitey Ford winced as Shannon of the Cardinals drove a two run homer to tie the World Series opener 4 4 in the sixth. The 25 year old right fielder, a former football quarterback, hit another long homer in Dublin Georgia and spoke of the thrill and his past near miss. Shannon, signed by St Louis for 50 000 in 1958 after a five year minor league tour, spent most of 1963 in the minors before sticking with the club. He hit .280 with 11 homers and 43 RBIs in 253 at bats after a spring struggle and recall from Jacksonville.
