Of course, I don't know how Miss Kilgallen expressed herself at 3:25 , but if I were Miss Kilgallen I would tell him in public at or after 2:38 that my sources were accurate, and he can take his balls and pack them back in his briefcase.

Dressen didn't seem uncivil, though he clearly had a bone to pick with her. Athletes, like other entertainers, have a long history of feuds with journalists. Miss Kilgallen, no stranger to acrimony, was quite capable of standing her ground. In any event, without knowing what she wrote -- in a public statement -- it is difficult to assess the propriety of his public response. No one ever accused all athletes, or columnists, of being diplomats.

Thanks very much for posting.

@khtx Dorothy had second guessed some of Charlie's decisions and suggested he was fueding with one of his own players. He also mentions Dorothy's father, James, who was a newspaperman and got her into the business.

@Freenbean He certainly did. Walter Alston never got more than a one year deal, but he got 23 in a row, which was pretty good security as it turned out.

Dressen made the mistake of asking Walter O'Malley for a multi-year contract.

Sorry I didn´t understand: what did Dorothy wrote about him?

Clips from that World Series are on U-Tube- they are the earliest known games whose kinoscopes have survived and were shown in their entirety on ESPN a few years ago. Brooklyn was up 3 games to 2 and led late in give six but the Yankees came back to win and won the next day, too. The Dodgers didn't win until 1955, under Walter Alston

Chuck Dressen is true to his well-documented truculent self in this short bit.

Fair enough, Marielle, I just thought Soulier, whose comments I usually enjoy, was a bit rough on old Chuck with this "churl" business.

Probably a mistake to bring his complaint up on air, I'm guessing he thought it would be funny and it just didn't work out. Dressen was not a surly sort, from everything I've ever heard about him.

Dorothy maintains her poise and doesn't seem the least perturbed by his remarks.

I don't know anything about Chuck Dressen but I think it was rude and inappropriate of him to mention this on the show. I also think Dorothy handled this well by laughing it off. If he really had a problem with Dorothy, then why go on a tv show which she is on?
