  • '72 Rewind: a New Murderers' Row?
    '72 Rewind: A New Murderers' Row? (The Chicago Baseball Museum will pay tribute to Dick Allen and the 1972 White Sox in a June 25 fundraiser at U.S. Cellular Field. We will chronicle the events of that epic season here in the weeks ahead. Sport magazine published this story in its August, 1972 edition.) By George Vass Posted on Monday, May 28 In Chuck Tanner's mind there is no question that he has a new “Murderer's Row” in the making in his White Sox. “I'm already convinced that this is the most power- ful hitting team the Sox have had in their history,” said Manager Tanner, “although I don't know if you could call it a 'Murderers' Row' in the old sense. “But potentially it is a 'Murderers' Row' of a differ- ent kind. What I mean by that is that while we have great home run power we also have a balance of fine line-drive hitters, men like Pat Kelly. We have both power and .300 hitting in good balance in our line-up. Allen, Melton and May form one of “When the phrase Murderers' Row is used it brings baseball's potent power trios. to mind the kind of teams in the past that had great home run power, but not necessarily the line-drive hitting, the balance of speed and power that we have.” As the Sox amply demonstrated by their early foot this season, led by the bombardment of Bill Melton, Dick Allen, Carlos May, Ed Herrmann, and Ken Henderson, they have the kind of power attributed to legendary clubs of the past.

  • I Want to Turn Now to Peter Golenbock. Peter Is the Author of Many, Many Books on Sports
    BEYOND THE BOOK A WINNING SEASON? IT’S TIME TO TAKE SPORTSWRITING SERIOUSLY KENNEALLY: I want to turn now to Peter Golenbock. Peter is the author of many, many books on sports. Most recently a novel, actually, 7: The Mickey Mantle Novel, and the other book titles have included Wrigleyville, Wild, High and Tight: The Life of Billy Martin, Bums, and the New York Times bestsellers, Dynasty, The Bronx Zoo, written with Sparky Lyle, Number 1 with Billy Martin, and Balls with Craig Nettles. Peter lives in St. Petersburg, Florida. Welcome to the panel, Peter. GOLENBOCK: Thank you very much. (applause) KENNEALLY: I was intrigued to learn that you began your own sportswriting career as a correspondent from a certain small town in New Hampshire. And it was already, though, a kind of foreshadowing of the direction your writing would take. Tell us about that. GOLENBOCK: Well, I didn’t know it. I mean, I was a freshman at Dartmouth College, and I started working for The Dartmouth, which was the campus newspaper. And I guess I was pretty good at it, because very soon they asked me if I would be the campus correspondent to the New York Times. And they were paying me $5 an article. You’d write two paragraphs and a box score, and they said you can write about any sport you want to. And for crying out loud, they had dozens and dozens of different sports. I thought, boy, I’m going to get rich. And I was making a good $30 a week doing that.

  • 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.
