The 27-year-old recorded the best start of his career Wednesday against Washington. Facing the team that drafted him, he permitted just one hit and one walk in seven scoreless innings. Had he remained on schedule, Meyer would have next started Wednesday in Cleveland. Because of their recent off days, the Angels do not need to replace him on their roster until Saturday in Toronto. When the Angels acquired Meyer from Minnesota on Aug. 1 last year, he was recovering from a shoulder injury that had forced him to miss most of the season.

  • Sju's Diamond Sport J a M I E M O Y
    SJU’S DIAMOND SPORT Baseball is the oldest sport at Saint Joseph's, as the first account of any athletic contest by the institution against an outside opponent is of an 1894 game against Roman Catholic High. That game, played in Philadelphia's Fairmount Park, ended in a 25-25 tie. When official varsity sports were begun at the College in the 1909-10 academic year, baseball was joined by basketball and football as the first offer- ings. The athletes from that year were the first to be awarded varsity letters at the school. Shortly thereafter, on April 10, 1912, came the most famous game of the early era of Saint Joseph's baseball. On that day, Saint Joseph's took on the defending world champion Philadelphia Athletics in an exhibition game at Shibe Park just prior to the opening of the A's regular season. Despite facing a star-studded lineup of professionals, including future Hall of Famer Eddie Collins, the collegians prevailed, 8-7. The early years of Saint Joseph’s baseball also produced the program’s first-ever major leaguer. Frank (Fritz) Henrich, an outfielder for SJU from 1916-19, played one season with the Philadelphia Phillies in 1924. The modern era of Hawk baseball began in 1946, when the sport was The 1912 Hawks defeated the World Champion Philadelphia A’s in an exhibi- revived after a 15-year absence on Hawk Hill. Since then, the team has been tion game at Shibe Park. coached by former big leaguers Pep Young and Al Brancato.
