  • 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.

  • March 9, 1896 'Jim Yarrison'
    On This Date March 9, 1896 One of nine players from Gettysburg College to make it to the major leagues, Byron Ward- sworth Yarrison is born on March 9, 1896, in Montgomery, Pennsylvania. A pre-med major at Gettysburg, where he plays baseball under Hall of Fame pitcher Eddie Plank, a 26-year-old Yarrison makes his major league debut with the Philadelphia Athletics against the Boston Red Sox on April 13, 1922. In the first of three career starts, the 5-11, 165-pound right- hander allows four runs (all earned) on seven hits, two walks and one strikeout. In parts of two major league seasons with the Athletics (1922) and Brooklyn (1924), Yarrison is 1-4 with a 7.86 ERA while allowing 62 hits in 44 2/3 innings. During his senior year at Gettysburg, Plank convinces the side-winding Yarrison to become a true underhander, saying that it would increase his chances of making it to the major leagues. In 1920, Yarrison makes his pro debut hitting .216 in 25 games as a left fielder with Hanover of the Blue Ridge (D) League. Bought by Connie Mack and the Philadelphia Athletics, Yarrison is assigned to the Rocky Mount Tar Heels of the Virginia (B) League in 1921, where he is second in innings pitched (307) and tied for fourth in wins (20). In eight minor league sea- sons, Yarrison is 70-54, including an 1-2 mark in his final season in 1928 with the South Atlantic (B) League Greenville Spinners. Forced to give up his mound duties because of reoccurring arm problems, Yarrison signs with the South Atlantic (B) League Greenville Spinners.

  • 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.

  • By John Quattrucci East Bridgewater Star “May His Leadership and Fierce
    By John Quattrucci East Bridgewater Star “May his leadership and fierce competitive spirit be an inspiration to the youth of Bridgewater” -Inscription on a plaque dedicated to Hall of Fame catcher and Bridgewater native Mickey Cochrane on the Bridgewater Town Common On Oct. 20, 1931, in the town of Spavinaw, Okla., the oldest son of Lovell and Elvin ‘Mutt’ Mantle was born. Elvin Mantle, a lead miner and fervent baseball fan, named his son ‘Mickey’, after his favorite ballplayer, Gordon Stanley ‘Mickey’ Cochrane, born in Bridgewater, April 6, 1903. Twenty-two years later, Cochrane was on his way to establishing himself as one of the greatest catchers in baseball history as a member of Connie Mack’s Philadelphia A’s. Cochrane won the American League MVP award in 1928 and helped the A’s to three straight American League pennants in 1929, 1930 and 1931 (winning the World Series in ’29 and ’30). Sold in 1933 to the Detroit Tigers, Cochrane became player/ manager, winning a second MVP award in 1934 while leading the Tigers to the pennant. The Tigers won another pennant under Cochrane in ’35 and defeated the Chicago Cubs in the World Series, 4 games to 2. Cochrane, considered the fastest man to ever play the position, retired from baseball after the 1937 season and was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1947. His .320 lifetime batting average is still the all-time mark for a catcher. Along the way, Cochrane played with all-time greats Ty Cobb, Tris Speaker, Lefty Grove, Jimmy Foxx and Al Simmons in Philadelphia, Hank Greenberg and Charlie Gehringer in Detroit, and in retirement rubbed elbows with the likes of Babe Ruth, Maurice Chevalier, Fred Astair, Bob Hope and Joe E.
