Larry Sherry
Makes His Own Luck
By ED FITZGERALD
When Larry Sherry was a boy grow
ing up in Los Angeles, nobody
thought he would ever overcome the ef
fects of two clubfeet to become a profes
sional athlete.
When he was pitching for the Maracaibo
club in Venezuela in the winter of 1958-59,
trying to master the slider pitch and im
prove a dismal minor-league record of six
victories and 14 defeats, nobody thought
he would ever make it to the majors.
And when the Los Angeles Dodgers,
desperate for some mound help, called him
up from their St Paul farm team in mid
season despite an unimpressive 6-7 record,
nobody thought he would turn out to be
hero of the '59 World Series.
But though he came out of the blue with
a flourish of trumpets and a crashing of
drums, Larry Sherry can't be charged
with being lucky. Any luck he has enjoyed
he's made himself that's why the Dodgers
are betting that he has left oblivion be
hind him for good.
One of the things the Dodgers like about
'their newest star is that he's eager for
action. He fidgets all the time he's in the
bull pen waiting for manager Walt Alston's
call; he's edgy until he squares off against
the hitter, ready to fire the blazing fast
ball he's had all along and the nifty slider

he taught himself down in Venezuela.
But his brother Norm, a third-string
catcher for the Dodgers before Larry even
got there, thinks it's more than a matter of
Larry's pitches. "All of a sudden," he says,
"Larry just seemed to get confidence. He
wasn't afraid of anybody. He'd come out of
that bull pen like it was just a case of
burning the ball past thern'and sitting
down. No doubt about it."
"Sherry comes on," one baseball wriCer
says, "like Milton Berle. His conversation
is very modest. He's no braggart. But his
actions, when he comes in to pitch, are
positively flamboyant. He really takes
charge out there."
Larry began "taking charge" as soon as
he whiffed the Los Angeles atmos
phere. His seven victories helped enor
mously as the underdog Dodgers outfought
Milwaukee and San Francisco for the Na
tional League pennant, whipping the
Braves in a play-off series after they had
finished the regular season in a tie.
Larry's relief pitching played a big part
in winning the first play-off game, but it
was in the World Series, against the Chi
cago White Sox, that the determined youth
really took over center stage.
As far as the White Sox were concerned,
