Episode description

Warren Spahn has finished out the 1958 season with 22 wins. That's an important stat, as it marks him out as the first left-handed pitcher to have nine 'twenty win seasons' in the Majors. He will eventually record 363 wins in his career.

It should come as no surprise that the best left-handed pitcher each year wins The Warren Spahn Award.

His 22 wins in the 1958 season have brought the Milwaukee Braves to the World Series. Facing the New York Yankees, both teams have a 92-62 record from the season. Spahn is set to pitch the opening game.

We join Bob Wolff and Earl Gillespie on NBC radio at the top of the first.
