By the end of July, the Dodgers were a full four games ahead of the Giants. It seemed nothing could slop them. The pitching could only be described as sublime: Tommy Davis was batting .350, a single percentage point behind league-leader Stan Musial, and Maury Wills was making baseball buffs wonder if Tee Cobb's base-stealing record was really as untouchable as everyone had thought. But something happened on July 17 that would eventually levy a hefty toll on the Dodgers pennant drive. Sandy Koufax was on the mound against the Cincinnati Reds, but in the second inning he had to leave the game after developing a strange numbness in his throwing hand. Later it was diagnosed as a rare and mysterious affliction cal led Reynard’s Phenomenon, which required more than two months healing. On the brighter side, Don Rescale posted his 20", win of the year August 3. And on his next outing he chalked up his 100t° career victory.
