I lusted after the various sports games advertised in the magazines until my mom finally relented and bought Strat-O-Matic Football for me in 1972. I got SOM’s baseball game a year later and I was hooked. I would get the new card set each year and attempt to play the in-progress season by moving the traded players around and turning ‘nameless player cards” into that year’s key rookies. I switched to APBA in the late ‘70’s because they started releasing some complete old season sets and the idea of playing with those really caught my fancy. Between then and the mid-nineties, I collected a lot of card sets.

  • No-Hitters Generate Unusual Tidbits on Which to Chew Through the Decades
    No-hitters generate unusual tidbits on which to chew through the decades By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Tuesday, May 21, 2013 The years and decades keep flipping past, but the Cubs maintain one proud record. A team enmeshed in so much failure has succeeded in avoiding one ignominious record. The Cubs have compiled the longest active streak without being no-hit, since Sandy Koufax did a real number on them with his famed perfect game on Sept. 9, 1965. And Wrigley Field itself has avoided hosting a no-hitter since Sept. 2, 1972, when Milt Pappas went 1-and-2 on the Padres’ Larry Stahl – one strike away from a perfect game. Uncle Miltie then tried to paint the corners, plate ump Bruce Froemming disagreed, and Stahl walked. Somehow, a peeved Pappas collected himself to get Garry Jestadt, the next hitter, to pop to second baseman Carmen Fanzone to complete the no-no. Ever since, a no-hitter has been broken up either for or against the Cubs four times in the ninth inning at Wrigley Field. “For” being Chuck Rainey against the Reds in 1983 and Mike Morgan against the Braves in 1993. “Against” was Tom Seaver of the Mets in 1975 With the center- field camera some- and Alex Fernandez of the Marlins in 1997. how out of com- mission on the last The only Cubs no-hitter since Pappas was tossed by Carlos Zambra- batter, Milt Pappas no against the Houston Astros at Miller Park on Sept. 14, 2008, in will never know if bizarre circumstances.

  • The Glynn West Baseball Memorabilia Collection in the Words of Candy West Introduction to Glynn West Glynn West Wasn't a Famou
    The Glynn West Baseball Memorabilia Collection in the words of Candy West Introduction to Glynn West Glynn West wasn’t a famous baseball player. He wasn’t a big league manager or flashy major league executive. He certainly wasn’t an autograph seeker or collector. Glynn West was a humble, soft-spoken man who devoted his life to his family first and baseball second. It was a very close second, but family really did come first. So much so that when Charles Finley offered him the GM position in Oakland with the newly relocated A’s, Dad turned him down; he didn’t want to uproot his young family. So Dad stayed in Birmingham, at Rickwood Field, where he’d worked since 1947. His first job was changing the scoreboard, humble beginnings for a man who would go on to become The Sporting News’ Double A Executive of the Year, Birmingham’s GM, the Southern League’s VP, and Finley’s #1 pick for a franchise that would go on to win three consecutive World Series. Intro to entire collection Going through the baseball stuff in a thorough manner was never on my to-do list largely because I didn't know there was much to go through. After all, Dad wasn’t a collector by any stretch of the definition. Digging through the basement, attic, looking in closets and under beds for stuff to sell on eBay, I started to find lots of cool baseball things. Lots of cool baseball things. I started researching the things I found. With every “new” find, I hurled myself off higher and higher cliffs of obscure dusty minor league minutiae.

  • Years Later, Pappas Remains Center of Perfect Storm
    Years Later, Pappas Remains Center of Perfect Storm By Paul Ladewski Posted on Sunday, Sept. 2 Exactly 40 years have passed since Milt Pappas pitched the game of his life, not that he can ever forget it. Everyone from close friends to perfect strangers rarely mention his other 208 victories, two All-Star Game ap- pearances and one blockbuster trade. They want to talk about about his no-hitter on Sept. 2, 1972 at Wrigley Field. More times than not, someone will say the words that the former Cubs pitcher will take to his grave . “It should have been a perfect game.” Indeed, the events that took place that overcast Saturday afternoon against the San Diego Padres are as complex as the man himself. Pappas was a fiery competitor on the field, an outspoken critic off it. In a span of two hours, Umpire Bruce Froemming and hours minutes, he experienced a strange mix of emo- pitcher Milt Pappas are forever tions, the highest of highs and lowest of lows in a rather linked in baseball history. impressive if somewhat overlooked 17-year career. The moment of truth came with two outs in the ninth inning, pinch-hitter Larry Stahl at the plate and Pappas within one strike of a rare perfect game. The right-hander threw three pitches that either were close enough to the black to be called strikes or far enough from it to be called balls depending on the viewpoint. When plate umpire Bruce Froem- ming chose the latter, the perfect game became the perfect storm.

  • August 31, 2015 Cubs.Com Jake Show: Arrieta No-Hits
    August 31, 2015 Cubs.com Jake Show: Arrieta no-hits Dodgers in LA By Carrie Muskat and Ken Gurnick LOS ANGELES -- Seven times in his final 18 starts of 2014, Jake Arrieta took a no-hitter into the fifth inning, but it wasn't until Sunday night against the Dodgers that the Cubs right-hander finished the job. And it was deja vu for the Dodgers. Arrieta threw his first career no-hitter to win his Major League-leading 17th game, and Kris Bryant hit a two-run homer to power the Cubs to a 2-0 victory over the Dodgers, snapping a four-game Chicago losing streak. Arrieta struck out 12 in his 14th consecutive quality start and finished the month of August with a perfect 6-0 mark. "It's tough to put it into words," Arrieta said. "You think about it all the time, and as a kid, and you see other guys around the league do it and you want to be a part of that. It's not only special for me and my family and friends, but the organization and my teammates." The only baserunners were Kiké Hernandez, who reached on Starlin Castro's error with one out in the third, and Jimmy Rollins, who walked with two outs in the sixth. "I thought it was a hit," Arrieta said about Hernandez's at-bat. "It was a tough play, a short hop. I think it was a cutter away. I thought it could've gone either way. I wasn't aware it was an error until an inning or two later." "He has that kind of stuff nightly -- it's really crazy," Cubs manager Joe Maddon said of Arrieta.
