The big sports headlines of 1964 all seemed to involve Mr. Johnny Keane. First, as manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, Johnny led his club to a National League pennant flag and victory in the World Series. Then, Mr. Keane surprised the baseball world by resigning as skipper of the Cards and joining the New York Yankees... the club he had just defeated in the World Series. Last year, Johnny ran into trouble when injuries riddled the New York Yankees. Several of his front-line hurlers had arm trouble and big guns like Mickey Mantle and Elston Howard were side-lined most of the campaign. This season, The Yanks find themselves under-dogs in the American League pennant race. But Johnny Keane believes his ballclub may surprise the "experts" and recapture the championship flag.
Used as a utility outfielder and as part-time first-baseman, "Tommy" Henrich proved a useful member of the New York Yankees last year. The Ohio youth, who sold himself to the Yanks in 1936, batted a neat .307 in 90 games. and drove in 53 runs on 90 hits, including 10 home runs, 5 triples and 28 doubles. Henrich has a good throwing arm. His ability to shift from the outfield to first makes him doubly valuable to the Yanks.
