The regular season of 1959 ended a bit late, as it required the fourth pennant tiebreaker in the game’s history, but there was certainly enough going on to justify a few extra days on the schedule: the White Sox scored eleven runs in an inning, on a single hit; a record 93,000 fans (a mark which would stand for almost fifty years) packed the Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles for “Roy Campanella Night”; Harvey Haddix pitched perfect ball into the 13th inning; and the Red Sox became the last big-league team to break the color barrier when Pumpsie Green appeared in a game in July. In the Fall Classic, the American League Champion Chicago White Sox (94-60) face off (again) against the National League Champion Los Angeles Dodgers (88-68) . . .
