  • His Splendid Moment - the Boston Globe Page 1 of 3
    Boston Red Sox - His splendid moment - The Boston Globe Page 1 of 3 THIS STORY HAS BEEN FORMATTED FOR EASY PRINTING ONE-HIT WONDERS His splendid moment In a pinch, Hardy gained starring role By Stan Grossfeld, Globe Staff | December 20, 2009 First in an occasional series on memorable Boston sports figures who had their 15 minutes of fame. LONGMONT, Colo. - At 76, former Red Sox outfielder Carroll Hardy is in stellar health, but he knows his obituary is all but set in stone. The only man ever to pinch hit for Ted Williams. “I’m kind of excited by it,’’ says Hardy, a glint in his eye. “I think it’s funny.’’ He’s been described as having the good fortune of Forrest Gump, and for good reason. Hardy also played one year in the NFL and caught four touchdown passes from Hall of Fame quarterback Y.A. Tittle. He pinch hit for a young Yaz and a rookie Roger Maris. He was tutored by the legendary Tris Speaker, coached for the volatile Billy Martin in Triple A Denver, and hit a walkoff grand slam at Fenway Park. He was even responsible for a change in the NFL draft. Hardy was a journeyman outfielder for the Red Sox, Indians, Colt .45s, and Twins who hit just .225 with 17 home runs and 113 RBIs in 433 games over an eight-year major league career. But he received baseball immortality on Sept. 20, 1960, in the first inning of a game in Baltimore. “Skinny Brown was pitching this particular day.

  • Atlanta Braves Clippings Wednesday, May 6, 2020 Braves.Com
    Atlanta Braves Clippings Wednesday, May 6, 2020 Braves.com Braves' Top 5 center fielders: Bowman's take By Mark Bowman No one loves a good debate quite like baseball fans, and with that in mind, we asked each of our beat reporters to rank the top five players by position in the history of their franchise, based on their career while playing for that club. These rankings are for fun and debate purposes only … if you don’t agree with the order, participate in the Twitter poll to vote for your favorite at this position. Here is Mark Bowman’s ranking of the top 5 center fielders in Braves history. Next week: Right fielders. 1. Andruw Jones, 1996-2007 Key fact: Stands with Roberto Clemente, Willie Mays and Ichiro Suzuki as the only outfielders to win 10 consecutive Gold Glove Awards The 60.9 bWAR (Baseball Reference’s WAR model) Andruw Jones produced during his 11 full seasons (1997-2007) with Atlanta ranked third in the Majors, trailing only Alex Rodriguez (85.7) and Barry Bonds (79.2). Chipper Jones was fourth at 58.9. Within this span, the Braves center fielder led all Major Leaguers with a 26.7 Defensive bWAR. Hall of Fame catcher Ivan Rodriguez ranked second with 16.5. The next closest outfielder was Mike Cameron (9.6). Along with establishing himself as one of the greatest defensive outfielders baseball has ever seen during his time with Atlanta, Jones became one of the best power hitters in Braves history. He ranks fourth in franchise history with 368 homers, and he set the club’s single-season record with 51 homers in 2005.

  • Van-Der-Ahe-Review1
    J. Thomas Hetrick. Chris Von der Ahe and the St. Louis Browns. Lanham : Scarecrow Press, . pp. Cloth, $.. Ron Kaplan Before there was George Steinbrenner, there was Christian Frederick Wilhelm Von der Ahe. Before Ted Turner, the peripatetic owner of the Atlanta Braves, donned the flannels for a one-game stint as field manager, there was Von der Ahe. In fact, the stereotypical “magnate” running the club both on and off the . , field, bellowing commands, chintzing on his players’ salaries can be traced to this German entrepreneur from the late nineteenth century. Chris Von der Ahe and the St. Louis Browns, J. Thomas Hetrick’s account of this “strange baseball odyssey,” has all the ingredients of a made-for- movie: melodrama, political intrigue, sex, and comedy, to name a few. According to Hetrick, Von der Ahe “loved to portray himself as a one-time poor immigrant who braved a perilous sea voyage to come to America. Arriving in the United States alone and near penniless, [he] started out as a grocery clerk. Within the space of fifteen years he had become a store proprietor, saloon owner, real estate holder, landlord and baseball magnate.” He knew little about the finer points of the game yet, as is often the case with men of his ilk, “fancied himself as an excellent judge of ballplayer abilities, although the facts say otherwise.” Believe it or not, the St. Louis Browns once were the class of baseball (back in the s), and Von der Ahe was understandably proud. He spared no expense in presenting his product, gussying up his ballparks, serving as a generous host for the press, and striving always to improve the team and, by extension, his own image.

I Baseball had its antecedents In a,ball throw- Ing game In ancient Greece where a statue was ereoted to Aristonious for his proficiency in the game. The English , I were the first to invent a ball game in which runs were scored and the winner decided by the larger number of runs. Cricket might have been the national sport in the United States if Gen, Abner Doubleday had not Invented the game of I baseball. In spite of the above statement it is*said that I Cartwright was the Johnny Appleseed of baseball, During the Winter of 1845-1846 he drew up the first known set of rules, as we know baseball today. On June 19, 1846, at I Hoboken, he staged (and played in) a game between the Knicker- bockers and the New Y-ork team. It was the first. nine-inning game. It was the first game with organized sides of nine men each. It was the first game to have a box score. It was the I first time that baseball was played on a square with 90-feet between bases. Cartwright did all those things. I In 1842 the Knickerbocker Baseball Club was the first of its kind to organize in New Xbrk, For three years, the Knickerbockers played among themselves, but by 1845 they I had developed a club team and were ready to meet all comers.
