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.

    The Boston Red Sox Thursday, February 27, 2020 * The Boston Globe Red Sox lawyers argue team should not be held liable for alleged electronic sign-stealing Bob Hohler Lawyers for the Red Sox contend in a federal court document that the Sox should not be held liable for their alleged electronic sign-stealing en route to the 2018 World Series title in part because a judge dismissed a complaint against Bill Belichick and the Patriots for allegedly engaging in similar misconduct in the 2007 Spygate scandal. The Sox lawyers also argued that a class-action suit by fantasy baseball gamblers against the Sox, Houston Astros, and Major League Baseball should be tossed because aggrieved pay-for-view customers lost their bid to seek refunds after boxer Mike Tyson violated the sport’s rules and was disqualified from a heavyweight title fight in 1997 for biting off a piece of his opponent’s ear. “Courts faced with similar claims repeatedly have rejected the notion that sports teams, participants, and organizers have a duty publicly to disclose even material information that could affect the quality, intensity or fairness of athletic competition,’’ the Sox lawyers stated in a 27-page memorandum supporting their motion to dismiss the suit. They filed the document Feb. 21 in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York. The lawsuit claims the Sox, Astros, and MLB defrauded DraftKings fantasy baseball customers through “manipulative and deceitful conduct’’ that involved the Astros allegedly electronically stealing signs in their 2017 championship season and the Sox purportedly engaging in similar deception en route to their title the following year.

  • ALLA CORRENTE Dominic Dimaggio
    ALLA CORRENTE Dominic DiMaggio With the continuing exhibit at the Museo Italo Americano that closes on November 25, 2012, entitled Italian Americans At Bat: From Sand Lots to the Major Leagues, (I highly recommend that you see it) and with the baseball season about to enter into the playoffs and World Series, I thought it would be fun to devote another “Alla Corrente” article to famous Italian-American ballplayers; this time to the only DiMaggio ballplayer born in San Francisco. We’ll also move away from earlier “Alla Corrente” articles which dealt with the NY Yankees and focus on one of the great players of their fierce rival: Dom DiMaggio of the Boston Red Sox. Dominic Paul DiMaggio, the youngest of nine children, was born on February 12, 1917, in San Francisco and grew up in a typical working-class home at 2047 Taylor Street in the North Beach-Telegraph Hill section. Dom and brother Joe used to sell newspapers in downtown San Francisco on the corner of Sutter and Sansome Streets. The patriarch of the clan, Giuseppe DiMaggio, was a hard- working fisherman from Sicily who spoke little English. He believed playing baseball to be frivolous and in violation of his code of a strong work ethic. Their mother, Rosalee, a former schoolteacher, covered for the boys so that they could play baseball. Three of the DiMaggio brothers, Joe, Vince, and Dom, went on to play center field in the major leagues, and it was said of the brothers that Joe was the best hitter, Dom had the best arm, and Vince, who had aspirations to become an opera singer, had the best voice.
