LOS ANGELES — (UPI)—Husky Jack Sanford carries a heavy cold and a five-year-old dream to the mound at Dodger Stadium today in hopes of clinching the National League pennant for the San Francisco Giants.
Sanford's Dream Near
"It's hard to believe we're so close," said the fire-balling New Englander with the calm blue eyes and the bright red nose. "I've dreamed of this ever since I had a smell in 1957."
THEN HE WAS with the Phillies, a rookie who led their surprise charge into first place in July only to have the team fall back into second division miseries by October.
"We thought we might make it that year," explained the brown-haired 33-year-old who won 19 games and rookie pitcher of the year honors in 1957. "But we were too young, I guess, and the pressure might have gotten to us."
It's different this time.
FOR THE 190-pound six footer caught fire this season, after three mediocre years in Giant livery, and goes against the bruised and reeling Dodgers today with a record of 24 victories against only seven defeats.
"It's kind of hard to explain what happened to me this season," said Sanford, who in compiling his brilliant mark also ran off 16 victories in a row. "I guess in the final analysis it's merely a matter of better control." Yet he also feels that he is "more of a pitcher and less of a thrower."
"They used to sit back and wait for my fast ball," he added. "Now I can move the ball around on them. The fast ball still is my best pitch but I've got control over my slider and curve ball to go with it. They always told me I had enough stuff to be a 2-game winner but I never did until I got the control."
A NATIVE of Welleslev, Mass., Sanford was a high school pitcher when he drew the attention of scouts.
WED. THRU SAT.
"But both the Braves and the Red Sox turned me down because they thought I was too small," he sniffled over a grin. "I had a tryout with the Braves and a Phillies' scout who happened to be there asked me where I lived. He said I'd hear from him later. Well, a couple of months later the Phillies sent me a contract and I signed with them."
the international League, and Syrracuse, plus a year in military service before he arrived with the Phillies in 1957.
Sanford served the usual minor league servitude, seven years at Bradford, Fa.; Dover, Del.; Americus, Ga.; Wilmington, Del.; Schenectady, Baltimore when it was in
THAT SEASON, in addition to winning 19 games against eight defeats. Sanford also led the National League in wild pitches.
"Control," he remembers, "I guess I didn't have too much of it then." At the end of 1958 he was traded to the Giants in a deal which sent pitcher Ruben Gomez and catcher Valmey Thomas to the Phillies.
