    Al Brancato This Article Was Written by David E

    Al Brancato This article was written by David E. Skelton The fractured skull Philadelphia Athletics shortstop Skeeter Newsome suffered on April 9, 1938 left a gaping hole in the club’s defense. Ten players, including Newsome after he recovered, attempted to fill the void through the 1939 season. One was Al Brancato, a 20- year-old September call-up from Class-A ball who had never played shortstop professionally. Enticed by the youngster’s cannon right arm, Athletics manager Connie Mack moved him from third base to short in 1940. On June 21, after watching Brancato retire Chicago White Sox great Luke Appling on a hard-hit grounder, Mack exclaimed, “There’s no telling how good that boy is going to be.”1 Though no one in the organization expected the diminutive (5-feet-nine and 188 pounds) Philadelphia native’s offense to cause fans to forget former Athletics infield greats Home Run Baker or Eddie Collins, the club was satisfied that Brancato could fill in defensively. “You keep on fielding the way you are and I’ll do the worrying about your hitting,” Mack told Brancato in May 1941.2 Ironically, the youngster’s defensive skills would fail him before the season ended. In September, as the club spiraled to its eighth straight losing season, “baseball’s grand old gentleman” lashed out. “The infielders—[Benny] McCoy, Brancato and [Pete] Suder—are terrible,” Mack grumbled. “They have hit bottom. Suder is so slow it is painful to watch him; Brancato is erratic and McCoy is—oh, he’s just McCoy, that’s all.” 3 After the season ended Brancato enlisted in the US Navy following the country’s entry into the Second World War.
  • Noblest Redbird of Them All

    Noblest Redbird of Them All

    The Noblest Redbird of Them All News of Stan Musialʼs death last Saturday fills me with memories and thoughts, which I now feel impelled to write down, albeit in a rather disorganized way. I was an 8-year-old in St. Louis when Stan joined the Cardinals late in the 1941 season. Although I donʼt think I saw him play in 1941 (he played only 12 games that year), it was my privilege to see him in at least a few games every year of his career after that: 1942-44 and 1946-63. At the time, my brother Bill and I pretty much took this for granted: We loved the Cardinals, went every year to some of their games, and they had this great player. But in later years we have reflected on how unusual it is to be able to follow such a superstar through his whole career, and without making special trips to other towns just for that purpose. Itʼs almost impossible today with superstars changing teams so often, but back then you could do it. From the beginning, Musial put up impressive offensive numbers, but the so-called experts often described his “corkscrew” batting stance as awkward. Well, to us kids at the time, it didnʼt seem awkward at all: Obviously, it was producing better results than other stances, so we tried to imitate it, which is probably one of the reasons why neither I nor any of my friends of that time ever made the major leagues. Stan always claimed that this stance gave him a good view of the strike zone.

    2018 Media Guide NYRA.Com 1 FIRST RUNNING the First Running of the Belmont Stakes in 1867 at Jerome Park Took Place on a Thursday

    2018 Media Guide NYRA.com 1 FIRST RUNNING The first running of the Belmont Stakes in 1867 at Jerome Park took place on a Thursday. The race was 1 5/8 miles long and the conditions included “$200 each; half forfeit, and $1,500-added. The second to receive $300, and an English racing saddle, made by Merry, of St. James TABLE OF Street, London, to be presented by Mr. Duncan.” OLDEST TRIPLE CROWN EVENT CONTENTS The Belmont Stakes, first run in 1867, is the oldest of the Triple Crown events. It predates the Preakness Stakes (first run in 1873) by six years and the Kentucky Derby (first run in 1875) by eight. Aristides, the winner of the first Kentucky Derby, ran second in the 1875 Belmont behind winner Calvin.
