Tom Boswell agrees with me, although he harms his column by taking a paragraph to talk about the Baltimore Orioles. By the way, the LA Dodgers in the 1960s got away with a team of Maury Wills and the Davises, plus some fine pitching. The 1959 White Sox had even less power than the Dodgers, but they had Luis Aparicio and other "Go-Go" players.
I'm sure most have read Boswell, but, for the record:
