Heck, Mathews started while they were still in Boston, in '52.
And Adcock came the following year. With Aaron a year later.
But they had Buhl to go along with Burdette and Spahn.
I kept waiting for them to win. But it took until '57 - why?

Clearly their two big guys were better than Hodges and Snider, and Adcock was a clutch hitter in Berra's league. And there were plenty of others.
And the staff was not lacking. Nobody was a Spahn.

Gee, to my thinking: Aaron was better than Mantle, Adcock and Berra a push, which leaves what? Eddie Mathews unanswered.
Spahn better than Ford, Burdette and Buhl better than the others; which leaves what? the Yankees win almost every year, why?
