Leo Durocher thought he should have been the MVP. (Besides, being nice to a retired Met who, as far as we know, didn't play cards during any playoffs.)

Doubted that story about being served a fastball to remain at .300 - Don Drysdale would have knocked over his grandmother before serving up anything to help his former team mate. Also, Tommy did not "lead" his Dodger team to a tie for the '62. Though he didn't go into a slump, L.A. lost ten out of it's last 13 games (including their last four at home) blowing a four game lead the final week of the regular season. See, the '07 Mets weren't the only ones to collapse as badly. HI Greg,
