Connie Mack's Ehmke Remembered in Today's Use Of Phillies Konstanty
Jim Konstanty the Phillies relief ace was chosen by Eddie Sawyer to open against Vic Raschi in the 1950 World Series. The decision echoes Connie Mack and Howard Ehmke in opener lore as 33,000 fans watched the underdogs, the Phillies, try to stun the Yankees in a best-of-seven. Konstanty, 33, had a late-career surge with 74 games pitched, primarily in relief, and Sawyer trusted his sharp breaking stuff over starter Robin Roberts. Raschi, 21-8, opposed Konstanty in a pitching matchup that highlighted the Yankees’ veteran right hander against Philadelphia’s dancing, dipping repertoire.
