Rivalry
From Page 1 Brooklyns pennant hopes. Medwick was said to have become gun shy at the plate but his average didnt suffer immediately. Hit by Feller Hank Leiber of the New York Giants caught one of Bob Fellers Sunday pitches on the noggin when the Cleveland fireballer really had it and Lieber never regained his former stature as a slugger. Lamar (Skeeter) Newsome, then with the Philadelphia Athletics, probably was the grittiest of the comeback guys. He was skulled once, then twice and far worse. His physician said one more time meant lights out. But little Skeeter couldnt stand idleness, so he came back to the As and turned in the only .300 season of his career, risking his life on every pitch that didnt cut the heart of the plate. Since that episode in 1906, feeling between the Giants and Dodgers has been intense. The Borough of Brooklyn actually is a part of New York City proper but Brooklyn is over the river at what Giant fans are convinced is the wrong end of the Brooklyn Bridge. Hack Wilson, as a Giant, once was mobbed in the outfield at Brooklyn. Bill Terry of the Giants asked his fatal question in 1934, Are the Dodgers still in the league? and the Dodgers knocked him out of the race. And then in June, 1948, Leo Durocher skipped from the Dodgers to the Giants as manager. His former coach, Chuck Dressen, now is managing the Dodgers. Its a natural.
