TWO WAYS GREAT | Allie "Chief" Reynolds pitched for six championship teams in New York, going 7-2 with four saves and a 2.79 ERA in World Series play. "Reynolds is two ways great," said Casey Stengel, "which is starting and relieving, which no one can do like him." The versatile pitcher led the loop with seven shutouts in 1951 and six more in 1952; in each case, he saved an identical number of games to finish among the league leaders in that category. Above: Reynolds retires Boston's Ted Williams on September 28, 1951, to complete his second no-hitter of the season.
