Remembering "Bullet Bob" Turley noted how Turley recovered from a disastrous "game 2" in the 1958 World Series to win game 5,
save game 6, and win game 7.

In other World Series performances, Turley was the hard luck game 6 loser in 1956 (losing 1-0 in 10 innings in the game after Larsen's
perfect game), and Turley was the winner in the 16-3 blowout in the 1960 series (the last World Series win for Turley; Larsen would win in 1962, against the Yankees, 6 years after the perfect game.
