Reichler Sees Tigers Winning Series If They Capture Pennant
New York September 29. Reichler argues the 1944 World Series favors Detroit if the Tigers finish first in the American League with pitching edge. He cites Harold Newhouser and Dizzy Trout as top arms, notes St Louis Cardinals could win with Mort Cooper and strong defense, but questions loom for Wilks, Brecheen, and Lanier. He weighs Tiger lineup led by Wakefield York Higgins against Cards’ superior fielding and pitching depth, predicting a hard-fought series either way.
