"Bullet Bob had a tremendous season in '58, posting the American League's best won-lost percentage. He hurled six shutouts and won the Pitcher of the Year Award.
In the Series, Bob was masterful and provided the most dramatic moments. Blasted out of the box in the 2nd game, he returned to beat the Braves with a spectacular 5-hit shutout in the 5th game. In the crucial 7th contest, he hurled six and two-thirds innings in relief and held the Braves to two hits for the victory. In addition, Bob knocked in two runs in the 5th game."
