Brooklyn Dodgers by 13 games in the National League pennant chase Now 13 only an unlucky number but considered quite fatal as being struck head on by a Mack truck on riday the 13th Goodness the Giants were like the Gobi desert after a particularly dry spell I mean it would take a tidal wave just to break even A normal business would have filed chapter 11 or complete bankruptcy Only a miracle could have saved the Giants from total extinction But lo it happened The water turned to wine The Giants won 37 of their final 44 games and finished in a first place tie with the Dodgers And then by gol
