1962 LA Dodgers clinch NL Div Title at .500

Congrats to Mike Roberts who jumped in and took over the 1962 Dodgers in time for series #5 and piloted them to a division title !!! Scott Dyer resigned as manager with the team sitting at 6-10 and in turmoil. Mike Roberts came on board and "righted the ship". Finishing 12-8 down the stretch including a final series where he took 3 of 4 from the 1977 Yanks Mike won the division title ! Kudos to Mike and the Dodgers, who got an MVP type performance out of Tommy Davis (.378-7-32) and a Cy Young performance out of Double D, Don Drysdale (6-3, 2.08). I find it spectacular that Mike was able to win all those games down the stretch when Maury Wills hit only .242 and had a .298 on base % and Sandy Koufax finished with a dismal record (2-3, 4.19)
