Root the Grandaddy
Root is the daddy of all active
major leaguers, and is far from
washed up. Only few days ago the
Cubs moved into Philadelphia and
tossed Bill Lee and Claude Passeau,
the clubs two top pitchers, at the
Phillies and both were licked. The
next day Root put the Phils in
their place. That's the kind of pitch
er Root has been throughout his
career, winning the clutch ball
games and minding his business.
And, he'll be back with the Cubs
next season.
Lyons, as big favorite on the
south side as Root is Wrigley
Field, has been one of the un-
luckiest players in the majors. He
never has played a professional ball
game for any club but the White
Sox, and he's put in II seasons
