  • Bill Werber and the First Televised Game
    Bill Werber and the first televised game ©DiamondsintheDusk.com By AL FEATHERSTON Bill Werber is a pretty obscure guy for a player Ed Barrow once called “the best player in the American League.” He was also the first basketball All-American at Duke University and became the last living teammate of Babe Ruth before his death at the age of 100 in 2009. But Werber should be recognized for another piece of history – he is the first player in Major League history to come to the plate in a televised game. “It was August 26, 1939 — I was lead- ing off for Cincinnati against the Dodg- ers,” he said in a 2008 interview. The game was tele- vised from Ebbets Field on station W2XBS (later to become WNBC-TV) as an experiment at the New York World’s Fair. Cincinnati Reds at Brooklyn Dodgers There were just 400 TV August 26, 1939 sets in the New York area at the time, but the television display at the Fair drew a large crowd. The inaugural telecast featured two cameras – one high above home plate and the other along the third base line. Dodger radio broadcaster Red Barber did the commentary. Werber led off against Brooklyn’s Luke Hamlin to become the first televised batter in baseball history. Werber didn’t recall the outcome of that first plate appearance, but he contributed a single and an RBI to the Reds’ 5-2 victory in that historic game. That was the first game of a doubleheader. The second game was also televised and Werber again led off for the Reds.

  • Baseball Fans Endorse New Designated Hitter Rule
    The Harris Survey For Release: Thursday, May 31, 1973 BASEBALL FANS ENDORSE NEW' DES IGIVATED HITTER RULE BY LOUIS HARRIS By 50-31 percent, baseball fans give their endorsement to the new designated hitter rule being tried out in the American League for the first time this season. Easily the most appealing part of the DH innova- tion is that it allows "older or slower players who can still hit to be useful to the game," a view endorsed by 74-10 percent among diamond fans. Although the aggregate batting average of designated hitters is well below the ..300 mark since the new rule went into effect, DH run production, including home runs and runs batted in, has been well above the averages compiled by pitchers still taking their turn at bat in the National League. Basically, of course, the rule allowing a proven hitter to bat for the pitcher without requiring the latter to be removed from the game was instituted to build up interest at the gate. Recently, a nationwide cross section of 1,271 sports fans was asked: "This year the Anerican League has changed its rules so that each team can put a designated hitter up to bat instead of the pitcher, but the pitcher doesn't have to leave the game. Do you approve or disapprove of the new designated hitter rule in the American League?"

  • Hall of Fame Run-Off Elections
    General Admission Hall of Fame Run-Off Elections by S. Derby Gisclair Member, Society for American Baseball Research With the 2004 inductions into the Hall of Fame behind us and the Presidential election in front of us, I began looking into the election process for the Hall of Fame to see if there were any dangling chads in Cooperstown’s closet. What I discovered was quite interesting. In the 68 years since the Baseball Writers’ Association of America (BBWAA) first began conducting an annual balloting to determine who would enter the Hall of Fame, there have only been eight years in which there was no one elected. There were no elections held in 1940, 1941, 1943, and 1944. The BBWAA did distribute ballots in 1950, 1958, 1959, and 1960, but no one received the required 75% of the vote necessary, and therefore no one was elected in those four years. But on three occasions – in 1949, 1964, and 1967 – the BBWAA conducted a special run-off election whereby the one player who received the most run-off votes would be elected to the Hall of Fame. 1949 Ballot Results 1949 Run-Off Results Votes Votes Player 115 Needed Player 140 Needed Charlie Gehringer 102 Charlie Gehringer 159 Mel Ott 94 Mel Ott 128 Al Simmons 89 Jimmie Foxx 89 Dizzy Dean 88 Dizzy Dean 81 Jimmie Foxx 85 Al Simmons 76 Bill Terry 81 Paul Waner 63 Paul Waner 73 Harry Heilmann 52 Hank Greenburg 67 Bill Terry 48 Bill Dickey 65 Harry Heilmann 59 Rabbit Maranville 58 Detroit second baseman Charlie Gehringer thus became the first player ever elected to the Hall of Fame through a special run-off election, receiving 85% of the run-off vote and edging past former New York Giants outfielder Mel Ott who tallied 68.5% of the vote.
