St Louis Infield Rated Over New Yorkers In Coming World Series
Analysis of the 1940s World Series contenders finds the St Louis Cardinals' infield superior to the New York Yankees' defensive unit. Lou Klein's move to second boosts the Cardinals with strong middle infield play and sharp defense across the infield. The Yankees counter with young Pri Rizzuta at short and a potent lineup led by Joe DiMaggio and Nick Etten. Cardinals lead in double plays and total bases, while the Yankees rely on offense. Catching edge favors Bill Dickey for the Yankees and Walker Cooper for St Louis.
