THE BROWNS BOARD

  ⚾  On This Day in MLB History ⚾

May 14.  Kind of a slow day in baseball.  Almost no Indians in the news.

 

  • 1966 - Roberto Clemente's sixth and final career home run off Sandy Koufax is another no-doubter. It comes during Koufax's final season, the net result being one less shutout for Sandy and one more moon shot for Clemente. There was "only Bob Clemente's 9th-inning home run spoiling Sandy's bid for his 36th career shutout," writes Frank Finch of the Los Angeles Times. "One of the few people who wasn't fooled by Sandy's slants was Clemente, who at .325 is making a strong bid for his third consecutive league batting crown. 'I'm hitting the ball good,' said the temperamental Pirate star. 'I feel strong.' He certainly looked robust when he tied into an outside pitch and sent it into the upper deck in right field. Ron Fairly didn't even move, it was so solidly hit."
  • 1967:
    • Mickey Mantle of the New York Yankees joins the 500 home run club when he connects against Stu Miller of the Baltimore Orioles. Mantle becomes the sixth major leaguer to reach 500. Mantle's home run helps New York to the 6 - 5 victory at Yankee Stadium.
    • Hank Aaron of the Atlanta Braves hits home run number 450, a 6th-inning solo shot in today's contest between the Braves and Pirates. Roberto Clemente responds almost immediately with his own "number 450". Les Biederman explains in the Pittsburgh Press: "Aaron whistled when he talked of the two shots Clemente drilled. One struck the left field wall and bounced back on the field for a double. The other traveled over Mack Jones' head in dead center (450 feet) and he got a triple." Both the two-out, 3rd-inning double and 6th-inning, leadoff triple are followed by RBI singles from Bill Mazeroski. In the 7th, Clemente singles home the insurance run in the Bucs' 5 - 2 win.
  • 1972 - Willie Mays, playing his first game with the New York Mets, hits a game-winning home run against his former teammates, the San Francisco Giants. Just three days earlier, the Mets had acquired Mays from the Giants for a player, pitcher Charlie Williams, and cash.

May 15.   Oh those rowdy old-timers !   ★ And who can forget in 1981 at the Ol' Muni Stadium  in Cleveland,  Ohio. 

1862 - Baseball's first enclosed park, the Union Grounds, opens in Brooklyn, NY.mersm.  

  • 1893 - After tagging out St. Louis Browns OF Steve Brodie in a collision at the plate, Cincinnati Reds C Harry "Farmer" Vaughn throws a bat at Brodie, hitting him on the shoulder. Vaughn is ejected and fined $25 as St. Louis wins, 10 - 6, and moves past the @★ Cleveland Spiders and the Pittsburgh Pirates into first place.
  • 1894 - In the aftermath of a fierce fight between Baltimore's John McGraw and Boston's Tommy Tucker in the 3rd inning, a devastating fire starts in the RF stands at Boston's South End Grounds. The fire destroys $70,000 worth of equipment as well as the park, the only truly double-decked grandstand Boston would ever have. The fire spreads to adjacent blocks and eventually destroys or severely damages 170 buildings. The team moves to the Congress Street ballpark for several months before returning to the rebuilt Walpole Street park.
  • 1917 - In ★ Cleveland, pitcher Babe Ruth is lifted with one out in the 6th and the Red Sox leading 6 - 5. Dutch Leonard then shuts down the Indians to preserve the victory, and he is awarded the win by the official scorer. The decision is eventually reversed, giving Ruth his 8th straight win. The White Sox will stop his streak on May 18th.  
  • 1911: - Ring Lardner writes, "They are using a new ball this year. It's livelier and that means more hitting, and more hitting means longer games, and that's the devil. It appears to be impossible to finish a game in less than two hours." 
  • 1912 - Ty Cobb charges into the stands at Hilltop Park in New York and attacks a crippled heckler named Claude Lueker. Other fans and Tigers mix it up before order is restored. Ban Johnson suspends Cobb indefinitely for the incident.  
  • 1941 - Joe DiMaggio gets a single in four at bats against Eddie Smith of the Chicago White Sox to start his ★ 56-game hitting streak. Joe D's hit goes unnoticed as the Yankees lose, 13 - 1. Taffy Wright homers and drives in four White Sox runs, the 8th straight game he's driven in a run.
  •  
  • 1946:Mel Harder and Steve Gromek fire back-to-back shutouts over the A's as ★ Cleveland wins two, 3 - 0 and 5 - 0.  
  • 1976: - Mark Fidrych wins his first major league start, a complete-game two-hit, 2 - 1 victory over the ★ Indians. The Bird holds the Indians hitless for six innings, talks to the ball, and tamps down the mound before toeing the rubber each inning.

Tonight watching the Astros going into the top of the 2nd down 1-0 to Boston, they end up setting an all-time Astros record and tied a major league record of 5 HRs in one inning for a 9-1 lead. Two innings later now leading 9-3 Tucker hits his second HR of the game, a grand slam to take a 13-3 lead.

2011: - Five different games end in shutouts today. The most remarkable performance is a three-hitter thrown by Jake Peavy of the White Sox, making only his second appearance since undergoing shoulder surgery 10 months earlier. He wins 1 - 0 over ★ Cleveland, with Justin Masterson being saddled with the loss in spite a solid performance of his own.

May 23.  A lot of ★ Cleveland today. 

1980: - Five hours after the midnight deadline, Major League players and owners avert a strike by announcing a new four-year basic agreement. The new deal raises the minimum salary from $21,000 to $30,000 and increases the clubs' contributions to the players' pension fund, but the major issue of free agent compensation remains unresolved.

1989: - The Cleveland Indians lose to the Detroit Tigers, 7 - 2, to drop their record to 21-22, but remain in first place in the AL East by percentage points. It marks the latest point in a season a sub-.500 team has been in first place.

2003 - The Phillies edge the Expos‚ 4 - 2‚ as Philadelphia's Jose Mesa becomes the 10th player in history to reach 100 saves with two different teams. He also reached the century mark with the Cleveland Indians

1934: - The Yankees purchase — some would say rent — spitballer Burleigh Grimes from the Pittsburgh Pirates. After 10 appearances with the Yankees, the Yanks will release Grimes and the Pirates will reobtain him.

1951 -  The ★ Indians sign high school star Billy Joe Davidson for a reported $150‚000‚ eclipsing the $100‚000 the Pirates paid to Paul Pettit in 1949. Several teams sought the services of the tall lefty‚ alleged to be the best Indians prospect since Bob Feller.Indians hurler Bob Lemon one-hits the Tigers, 2 - 1. The only Bengal hit is Vic Wertz's home run.

June 1.  A look ahead into June.  1943 the "eephus" pitch was born 

 

  • 1954 - Montreal Royals outfielder Roberto Clemente is discovered by Pirates scout Clyde Sukeforth. Clemente is the Brooklyn Dodgers' five-tool farmhand. Sukeforth is not primarily a scout but rather the Pirates' pitching coach on special assignment in Richmond to scout newly-demoted Dodger hurler Joe Black. Unfortunately for the Dodgers, the first thing Sukeforth sees is Clemente. From this moment forward, despite Dodger GM Buzzie Bavasi's desperate manoeuvering, his prize prospect is lost. As Sukeforth himself will later tell Les Biederman of The Sporting News: "I saw Clemente and forgot all about Black. I arrived at the Richmond ball park just in time to see the pre-game workout. I saw Clemente throwing from the outfield and I couldn't take my eyes off him. Later in the game he was used as a pinch-hitter and I liked his swing. I started asking questions and learned he was a bonus player and would be eligible for the draft. Since the Pirates had first choice, I knew this would be our man. In fact, I told manager Max Macon to take good care of 'our boy' and see that he didn't get hurt."
  •  
  • 2001 - At Yankee Stadium, ★ Cleveland defeats New York, in just five and a half innings, when the game is called because of rain with Cleveland ahead, 7 - 2. In a rarity, Cleveland starter C.C. Sabathia earns a win despite pitching only four innings. Relief pitcher Ricardo Rincón gets the save for retiring the side in the fifth inning. The rules state that in a five-inning game, a starter need not go the full five innings to earn a victory. There have just been five other cases since 1978 to match Sabathia's feat.

2016: - ★ Indians OF Marlon Byrd is suspended for 162 games following the second positive test for PEDs of his career. At 39, it marks the end of the former All-Star's career.

June 3.  Oh those oldies and in 1888......

  • 1957 - Forbes Field's vast centerfield expanse provides the setting for one of Willie Maysgreatest catches coming at the expense of his young friend, admirer, protégé and rival, Roberto Clemente. Clemente hits a ball that seems headed towards a light tower in left center. The New York Times's Roscoe McGowen recounts what happens next: "In the 1st inning, with two Pirates on base and one out, Roberto Clemente whacked a terrific drive toward the screen surrounding the light tower in left center field, more than 440 feet from home plate. Willie astonished the players, as well as the fans, by leaping high against the screen and making a glove-twisting catch. Most observers thought the ball had bounced off the screen." Clemente then almost compounds his misfortune the following inning: "Clemente got into the catching act in the Giants' 2nd inning. Going almost to the wall for Daryl Spencer's long drive, Roberto saw the ball bounce out of his glove as he was making one of his 'basket catches.' But he snared the ball before it could drop to the ground."

1995 - Pedro Martinez of the Montreal Expos pitches nine perfect innings against San Diego before giving up a leadoff double to Bip Roberts in the 10th inning of the Expos' 1 - 0 win. Martinez becomes the second pitcher in history, after Harvey Haddix, to have a perfect game broken up in extra innings.

2016: - The Marlins get some unwanted publicity when they are the first to announce the death of boxing great Muhammad Ali on the Marlins Park scoreboard at the end of tonight's game against the Mets. Team President David Samson had heard the news from a person close to Ali, but had not realized the family had not made the news public when he calls on the scoreboard operators to pay tribute.  Oooops. 

And finally not one Cleveland Indians highlight today or as Harry Doyle would say.....not one goddam highlight,  ahhh don't worry nobody's watching anyway.   :blink:

June 4.  A lot of things going on today. 

1952: - Billy Goodman of the Red Sox goes 5 for 5 in a 13 - 11 slugfest with Cleveland. The Indians' Larry Doby hits for the cycle.

1958: - After 32 scoreless innings, the Chicago White Sox score in the 3rd, and go on to win 7 - 4 over the first-place New York Yankees. Billy Pierce is the winner, despite giving up a moon shot to Mickey Mantle that lands in the left-center field bleachers. The drive is measured at 478 feet.

  • 1960 - Detroit's Chico Fernandez strokes a 10th-inning triple against Cleveland‚ and then swipes home for the final run in a 7 - 4 win. Rocky Colavito breaks out of his slump with a solo homer in the 4th and a two-run shot in the 10th‚ off Dick Stigman.
  • 1967 - Cleveland sends Gary Bell to Boston for OF Don Demeter and 1B Tony Horton. Bell‚ a 16-game winner last year‚ is 1-5 this season‚ but he'll win 12 games for Boston during their pennant drive.
  •  
  • ★ 1974 - At Cleveland Municipal Stadium, the Cleveland Indians forfeit to the Texas Rangers after numerous fans run onto the field and engage each other and the players. One factor leading to the series of incidents is the evening's "10-cent beer night" promotion, which enabled fans to purchase an unrestricted number of concession beers in increments of six. ★
  •  
  • 1992 - Carl Stotz‚ creator of Little League Baseball‚ dies at age 82 in Williamsport‚ Pennsylvania. ❤️ 
  •  
  • 1997 - For the second straight night‚ Rafael Palmeiro knocks in the winning run to beat the stumbling New Yorkers‚ as the Orioles whip the Yankees‚ 9 - 7. The Yanks had tied the game at 7 apiece on Charlie Hayes' pinch grand slam. The O's Chris Hoiles has two RBIs and Cal Ripken‚ showing no effects from signing (a major-league record?) 2200 copies of his new book after last night's game‚ hits a homer. Ripken did not get through with the autographing until 3:01 a.m. The Orioles extend their winning streak to seven games and move 9 1/2 games ahead of the second-place Yankees in the AL East.
  •  
  • 2014 - Baseball mourns the death of a true baseball lifer, Don Zimmer, who passes away at 83. A former infielder whose marriage was celebrated at home plate on a minor league diamond, Zimmer also coached and managed for many years. As a senior adviser to the Tampa Bay Rays, he was still listed as a member of the coaching staff and was never away from the game he loved.

June 7.    Some   "unusual "  things on this day.

1894: - Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Jack Taylor throws a two-hit shutout to defeat the ★ Cleveland Spiders, 6 - 0, and to push Pittsburgh ahead of Cleveland into third place.

1911: - After two years on the vaudeville circuit with his wife Mabel Hite, and occasional sojourns to jail for drunkenness and assault, Turkey Mike Donlin is reinstated by the National Commission as he rejoins the Giants. Donlin doesn't play today, but Pirates pitchers have the Giants hitting the ball on the ground all day. The Pirates have 55 total chances on a record 28 assists and 27 putouts, but seven errors help the Giants to a 9 - 4 win. Meanwhile, John McGraw's willingness to put up with Donlin ceases after 12 games, and the .333 lifetime hitter is traded to the last-place Boston Rustlers

1933: - ★ Cleveland Indians general manager Billy Evans fires manager Roger Peckinpaugh and hires Walter Johnson to take over. Bibb Falk manages for one game until Johnson arrives.

1986 - In the annual June draft, the Pittsburgh Pirates make Jeff King, the Sporting News College Player of the Year, their first choice. ★ Greg Swindell is the next pick, by the ★ Cleveland Indians. Neither will sign for six weeks but Swindell will be in the major leagues after just three starts in the minors. Then, the San Francisco Giants select Matt Williams with the third pick. After being skipped over because scouts are convinced the Heisman Trophy winner is headed to the NFL, Bo Jackson is taken in the fourth round by the Kansas City Royals

1997: - On Dog Day (canine attendance 425) at Comiskey Park, it takes the Chicago White Sox 4 hours 19 minutes to finally edge the Baltimore Orioles, 1 - 0, in 11 innings on Harold Baines' one-out single off Randy Myers.  

2002: - Cincinnati obtains 3B/OF Russell Branyan from ★ Cleveland in exchange for minor league 1B Ben Broussard.  

  • 2013 - ★ Indians closer Chris Perez and his wife Melanie are charged with possession after police discover marijuana in suspicious packages mailed to the couple's house. When asked by police, Perez leads them to his personal stash, stored in a couple of Mason jars in the house's basement. Perez is expected to be given a fine by judicial authorities and ordered to undergo a treatment program by Major League Baseball.

  • 1933 - Herb Score, pitcher; All-Star (d. 2008) and great Cleveland Indians radio announcer.

1883 - Philadelphia's National League team receives permission to charge 25¢ for admission‚ instead of 50¢‚ to allow them to compete with their popular cross-town rivals‚ the American Association-leading Athletics. Philadelphia's attendance quadruples for the rest of the season.

1909: - Benjamin Shibe, of Bala, Pennsylvania, obtains a patent for a cork-center baseball. Spalding will license the idea and manufacture a ball based on his design. 

2010 - Justin Masterson pitches a two-hit shutout over his former team when the ★ Indians beat up on the Red Sox, 11 - 0. Most of the offensive damage takes place against two relievers recently called up from the minors, Boof Bonser and Joe Nelson. Travis Hafner belts a grand slam against Nelson in the 8th, when Cleveland scores 8 runs to put the game away.  

  • 2014 - Lonnie Chisenhall of the ★ Indians hits three homers, collects two other hits and drives in 9 runs in a 17 - 7 rout of the Rangers. He is only the fourth player to achieve this particular combination, and the first since Fred Lynn on June 18, 1975. His 9 RBIs tie a franchise record.

OK.  June 12.  Oh those rowdy old-timers. 

  • 1884 - Dissatisfied with umpire Jack Brennan's calls, hundreds of fans storm the field at Oriole Park in an American Association game between the Orioles and Louisville Eclipse. One man wielding a large revolver threatens to shoot Brennan if he makes any more bad calls. Police have to be called in to clear the mob, and after the game, which ends in a 4 - 4 tie, Brennan is slugged to the ground by a fan and has to be taken to the Orioles clubhouse, then to OF Jim Clinton's home for his own protection, before being whisked out of town on the first train. 
  • 1939 - The Hall of Fame is officially dedicated at Cooperstown, New York. The greatest-ever gathering of members and future inductees of the Hall of Fame accept their plaques: Grover Alexander, Ty Cobb, Eddie Collins, Walter Johnson, Nap Lajoie, Connie Mack, Babe Ruth, George Sisler, Tris Speaker, Honus Wagner and Cy Young.
  •  
  • 1969 - Roberto Clemente's tape-measure two-run blast ties the game at 3-all after six, en route to a come-from-behind 4 - 3 Pirate win over Houston. "Clemente's homer – his second in two nights – was a prodigious wallop of some 430 feet that landed about 12 rows up in the steps to the right of the service ramp in center field. In addition to loosening a few boards and frightening small children, it also tied the score at 3-all. Matty Alou was aboard with a walk when Jim Ray tried to fling one pitch too many past the dangerous Clemente. Clemente saw the ball good and he sped up his swing and timed the connection perfectly. Jim Wynn, in center, gave token pursuit of the eighth blast this year off the 34-year-old Puerto Rican hero's bat. But he'd have needed a ladder to reach the blast which soared far over Wynn's head."........
  • .......The Astros wisely do not afford Clemente the opportunity to beat them; his 8th-inning at-bat with 2 outs, the go-ahead run in scoring position and first base open yields the predictable free pass. Ironically, in the 9th, the game's goat thus far, shortstop Freddie Patek comes up with 2 outs, the go-ahead run in scoring position and first base open; his two-run error had put Pitt in in an early 3 - 1 hole. But manager Larry Shepard, apparently no devotee of the "Hollywood ending", bats Carl Taylor in his stead. Taylor singles for the 4 - 3 lead and Jim Bunning retires the Astros in order in the bottom of the frame, when Wynn hits a fly ball that sends left fielder Jose Pagan to the fence for the final out.
  •  
  • 1957 - Stan Musial of the St. Louis Cardinals plays in his 823rd game for a new National League record consecutive game streak. The mark beats Gus Suhr's old record. Cardinals hurler Larry Jackson beats the Philadelphia Phillies, 4 - 0, to improve his record to 8-2. He has now beaten every National League team this season.
  •  
  • 1981 - Thirteen games are canceled in the major leagues due to the players' strike.
  •  
  • 2007: - Justin Verlander throws the sixth no-hitter in Detroit Tigers history. Hitting 100 mph on the radar gun in the 9th inning, he shuts down the Brewers with 12 strikeouts, walking four. Magglio Ordonez makes a sliding catch on a shot by Corey Hart in the 7th to keep hope alive and later catches the final out of the contest. It is Detroit's first no-hitter in 23 years, the second no-hitter of the season and the first ever at Comerica Park. Bill Hall is never retired despite batting three times against Verlander, drawing walks every time up.

Yesterday in MLB history - I watched the Astros game yesterday and they made history. There is a thing in baseball that is normally rarer than a no hitter. It's called an Immaculate Inning. What happens is the pitcher is able to strike out all 3 batters in the inning with only 3 pitches each, all strikes and no balls and no walks. There have been only 106 such innings in all the history of major league baseball. So you can see it is even more rare than no hitters. But the Astros pitchers had two such innings, each one thrown by two different pitchers in the same game. That is where they made history because that has never happened before in the history of MLB.

June 16.   And oh those rowdy old-timers,  again.

 

  • 1887 - A huge brawl breaks out in the 9th inning of a game between the Browns and Orioles in Baltimore, MD when Curt Welch bowls over Orioles 2B Bill Greenwood in the 9th inning with the score tied, 8 - 8. Thousands of spectators run on to the field, clamoring for Welch's arrest - or worse. Police have to intervene, and the game is called. Welch is whisked away to safety while Browns pitcher Dave Foutz, a Baltimore native, speaks to the crowd to calm them slightly. However, another mob gathers at the train station, preventing Welch from leaving town. He will be forced to attend a court hearing the next day, where Greenwood pleads in his favor, stating that the play was nothing out of the ordinary in a baseball context, although some of the Orioles' fans would like to see criminal charges laid. Wisely, the Browns will keep Welch out of the next day's game to ease tensions.
  • 1962 - An injured Mickey Mantle returns after a one-month layoff and hits a dramatic three-run pinch home run in the top of the 8th inning. Although Mantle's blast gives the Yankees a 9 - 7 lead, ★ Cleveland comes back to score a run in the bottom of the 8th and wins the game in the 9th, 10 - 9, on a two-run homer by Jerry Kindall.

2016 - ★ Victor Martinez connects for three homers to lead the Tigers to a 10 - 4 win over the Royals. The Tigers hit six homers in all, with Nick Castellanos, James McCann and Miguel Cabrera adding the other long balls. However, it's not all good news for Detroit as OF J.D. Martinez breaks his elbow running into the fence while chasing a ball in the right-field corner and will be out for a long stretch. 

2019 - An authentic Babe Ruth New York Yankees jersey from 1928-30 sets a record for a piece of baseball memorabilia as it sells for $5.64 million at auction.
