“DIARY OF A WINNER”

THE CURSE OF THE BAMBINO, PART 2 ...
A POWERFUL RED SOX TEAM FAILS IN THE WORLD SERIES ...

July 1, 1946 ... Both Hal Wagner and Bobby Doerr were given the OK and should play when the Sox invade the Bronx to play the Yankees.  George Metkovich is fully recovered and could resume his spot in right field, but Leon Culberson has displayed a hot bat lately.

The Red Sox have placed seven players on the American League All Star squad: Dave Ferriss, Mickey Harris, Bobby Doerr, Johnny Pesky, Hal Wagner, Ted Williams, Dom DiMaggio
