The best evidence of that is
fantastic Willie Mays of the
Giants. Here's a boy who so
completely demoralizes the
opposition with his brillia1cy
that Durocher swept both
leagues with mediocre catch
ing and a second-class base
man.
But Willie Mays is one in a
million, so don't go fooling
around with comparisons.
It ell ends up just where
we started of. The sox have
good catching and good center
fielding down the middle aisle.
In all fairness to Goodman,
however, he plays with deter
mination out there rather than
with finesse. And you can't
afford to stop double-play
grounders down. on one knee
with your chest, while a scar
ed rookie Short-stop is wait
ing for the throw.
With Williams, Piersall and
Jensen, the Sox can field an
interesting team capable OF
giving you a good run for your
admission money.
Until their scouts stop see
ing only catchers, pitchers and
first baSemen, however, the
Red Sox are facing a hard
road to the top.

1t would not surprise us
to learn that the farm
managers and scouts have
been working along that
pattern in recent years.
Going back for a long while
In fact. Joe Cron1n went on
tour of sports night affairs
and pointed out the fortune
waiting for some young kid
who was good enough to catch
big league pitchers.
Then, suddenly, the Red Sox
was flooded with outstanding
young catchers. They were so
plentiful now that the Sox
cam offer some of their choice
supply for trading material.
But down the middle, where
a major league team must be
strong to be good, the Sox are
still looking around madly for
a second baseman.
At the pivot position, Bill
Iy Goodman is turning in
the usual good job he can
be depended on to turn in
wherever he plays.
But he's a far cry from a
Nelson Fox, Bobby AvilIa,
Billy Martin or a Red
SchOndieSt.
You need only to count the
pennant winners, steady pen
narAt winners, during the past
quarter century,, and name
their second basemen, to APP
preciate how impossible it is
to win many remnants without
a good one.
The Yanks had Joe Gordon,
Jere Coleman and Billy Mar
tint
The Cards had frankie
Frisch and then Schondeist.
Cleveland had Joe Gordon
for awhile and then Avilla.
The Dodgers had Jackie
Robinson.
If you want to reach away
back, the Tigers always did
pretty we'll when they had
Charlie Gheringer and the
Athletics won a few games,
we recall, when they had Ed
die Collins.
Before someone reminds us,
we'll be the first to admit
that the Sox only won one
pennant in all the years that
Bobby Doarr was doing his
fancy tricks at second base.
Any fair minded man
will admit, too, that the
Sox teams of Cronin,
Doerr, Williams, DiSTag-
giO, Pesky, Higgins and
others had the misfOr-
tune to be playing against
some Of the greatest
Yankee teams in AIneri-
can League history.
Year in and year out,
you'll find that the team
winding up on top is
strong down the middle,
especially around second
base.
The Yankee down-the- mid
die combination of Dlckey,
Gordon and DiMaggio speaks
for itself.
Every so often you'll come
across a team so exceptional
ly fortified in one of these
key spots that this individual
will offset whatever weakness
exists somewhere else.

league uniform.
Jimmy Piersall had what 1t
took. and you knew it, the
first day he grabbed a glove
in Fenway Park and raced out
to right field.
There was never any
doubt about the greatness
of Williams, Doerr, DiMag-
gio and Pesly from the
day they first reported for
spring training.
They were brilliant
young rockies with all the
natural talents necessary
to make the jump from
minor league to major lea
que baseball overnight.
It's not so with the young
rookie infielders and outfield-
ers who can be found at Sar-
asota Next month.
In these days Of very medi-
OGRE talent, KINDS like Lepcio,
Console and Boiling may find
themselves a steady job in the
big leagues. The same may
hold true of Stephens, Thron-
enberry and Olson.
Back ten or fifteen years
ago, however, it's doubtful if
they would still have a locker
The last good third base
man to grow up with the Sox
organization was Jim Tabor.
Production IN the outfield
was just as lean, If not leaner,
If our memory serves us right,
Jimmy Piersall is the only
classy fielder to see light of
day in the Sox farms since
goodness klSows when.
And before you interrupt
us with tie names of Ted
williams and Dom DiMag-
gio, kindly check your facts
and you'll find out that
both Ted and Dom were
purchased from west coast
minor league teams with
whom the SOx had already
no connection.
In a feeble attempt to break
down our argument you might
say that the Sox have two
young third basemen currently
i'm Billie Console and
Ted Lepcio.
Our only rebuttal to this ar
gument is to say that the Sox
also have q lot Of young out
fielders such as Karl Olson,
Gene Stephens and Faye
ThronenEerry.
But when we talk about lack
of outfiellders, we mean the
type of outfielder who is ac-
cepted to be great from the
first day he puts on a big
assigned to them after a sec
onh workout in the training.
Sox scouts would seem to
have a clear-cut job in front
Of them for the next many
years to come.
They should still close their
eyes on pitchers, catchers, first
basemen, and keep in mind
that it takes six other posi-
lions to make up a team.
Whenever the SOx scouts
or farm managers find
some kid with hitting pow
er playing any of these
three overloaded positions,
they should start immedi-
ately to convert him to a
position where the SOx are
weak.
