1966 World Series

Jenkins faced Peterson in game one, and after team scored in the 2nd inning, A Manny Mota RBI groundout in the 4th was all Jenkins needed as he hurled a complete game, 10 strikeout gem. We won 2-1 and lead the series 1-0.

In game two, the Yankees jumped on Tommy John right away, scoring four runs in the bottom of the 1st, three of them coming on a Don Dillard homer. Phil Niekro would hold the lead the rest of the way, his only hiccup in a complete game win a 4th inning two run homer to Johnny Callison. The Yankees win it 4-2 to even the series as it heads to Philadelphia.

Game three was a brilliant pitchers duel between Fred Klages & Luis Tiant. A Carl Yastrzemski homer was the only run plated in the game as Klages won a 1-0 classic to give the Phils a 2-1 lead.

In game four, the Phillies plated two runs in the 2nd inning off of Fritz Peterson on a Johnny Callison triple and an Ed Brinkman single to give the Phils a 2-0 lead. Don Arlich would allow the Yankees to tie it in the 6th and Jerry Nyman would allow an inherited runner to score in the 8th as the Yankees came from behind to win 3-2 and even the series.

Game five saw an uncharacteristic bad outting from Jenkins as he allowed two 1st inning runs on 3 hits and walk. McCovey blasted a three run homer off of Phil Niekro in the 4th to put us ahead, but in the top of the 5th Ron Hunt hit an RBI single and Don Dillard crushed a two run homer to put them back up 5-3. We scored a run in the bottom of the 7th to pull to within 5-4. In the bottom of the 8th, Niekro walked the bases loaded with one out before being pulled. Manny Mota hit a bouncer to short that was misplayed by Gair Allie, allowing the tying run to score. The next batter, McCarver, grounded to 2nd and Ron Hunt allowed the ball to bounce off his glove as back to back errors gave us the lead. Len Church would close it out as we escaped with a 5-4 win and 3-2 series lead.

Back in New York for game six, we jumped on Luis Tiant for two runs in the first two innings and led 2-0 going into the bottom of the 6th when Don Dillard again imposed his will. After allowing the first two hitter to reach base, Dillard took John deep over the left field fence to give the Yankees a 3-2 lead. Carl Yastrzemski would tie it with a homer of his own in the top of the eighth but after allowing the first two runner to reach in the bottom of the frame, John was pulled. Jerry Nyman came in and allowed an RBI single to Don Dillard and an Earl Battey home run to put the Yankees up 6-3, the score they would win by, forcing a 7th game. We lost Tim McCarver in this one to a broken collarbone. His season is over.

In a spectacular game seven, Fritz Peterson took the hill for the 3rd time in the series for the Yankees and faced the hero of game three, Fred Klages. Klages would hurl another gem, and help his cause with an RBI single in the bottom of the 2nd inning. A Willie McCovey homer in the 6th made it 2-0. It stayed that way heading to the bottom of the ninth. Corky Withrow singled up the middle to lead the inning off, Don Dillard flied out to right for the first out and then Bill White doubled in the right field gap to put runners on 2nd and 3rd with one out. Dave Roberts was intentionally walked and Jerry Nyman came in the bases loaded and one out. He struck out Eddie Matthews and Len Church came on to try and nail it down. Mel Roach was the batter and Church got him to pop up to short, securing the 2-0 win and giving us our 2nd straight World Series.
