"Ryne had a great year and proved to be a big help in hoisting the World Championship flag over Yankee Stadium. Although he was hurt and out of action twice during the '58 season, his spot hurling was nothing short of sensational. During the '58 World Series, Ryne relieved Don Larsen in the third game and preserved a shutout over the Braves.
Ryne is known as The Flamethrower."
