No. I think it was Wiki but I read that this morning.
What a feat.
Regarding cortisone, he only had two days between game five and game seven and you know he was throwing hard.
His style was traditional but he must have been so hard to hit. Below is game 5, top of the ninth highlights. He strikes out (end of career) Roger Maris at 12 to 13 minutes in.

A couple things I noticed watching this video...
Half or more of the men in the grandstand are wearing suits and ties.
Thought I would hear Ernie Harwell along with George Kell...then I remembered he only did the radio announcing.
I remember hurrying home from school for the series games. No night games then...all afternoon games.
