Dodgers' Four-Game Sweep Over
Yankees Year's Top Sports Yarn
By OSCAR FRALEY
UPI Sports Writer
Miami (UPI) Far and
away the top sports story of
the year 1963 was the four
straight sweep of the Los Ang

New York Yankees.
It was completely unpredict
able, the manner in which the
underdog Dodgers rolled re
lentlessly over Uie perennial
world champions. This, plus the
everlasting drama of the World

realm of the "ordinary" fall
classic and put it in a class
all by itself.
Northing was really close.
But if you have to correlate
a "first 10" in the sports world
for the past year, it would come
out close to this:
