  • Almost a Pelican
    Almost A Pelican By S. Derby Gisclair The winningest pitcher in Cleveland Indians history, in 1962 Feller became the first pitcher since charter member Walter Johnson to be elected to the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility. Though regarded as the fastest pitcher of his day, he himself attributed his strikeout records to his curve and slider. Blessed with a strong arm and an encouraging father, young Feller pitched to a makeshift backstop on the family farm near Van Meter, Iowa. Cleveland scout Cy Slapnicka signed him for one dollar and an autographed baseball. His velocity became an immediate legend when he struck out eight Cardinals in a three-inning exhibition stint. He came up as a 17- year-old at the end of 1936 and fanned 15 Browns in his first ML start and 17 Athletics shortly thereafter. But he was extremely wild. In 1938 he became a regular starter for the Indians. He won 17 and led the AL in strikeouts with 240. He also set a ML record with 208 walks. Although he led the AL in walks three more times, his control progressively improved. Meanwhile, he led the AL in both strikeouts and wins from 1939 to 1941. In 1940, he won his personal high with 27, including an Opening Day no-hitter against the White Sox. Yet the year was tarnished, first when Cleveland veterans, including Feller, earned the nickname Crybabies by asking Cleveland owner Alva Bradley to replace stern manager Ossie Vitt. Then Feller lost the season's climactic game and the pennant to Tigers unknown Floyd Giebell, despite pitching a three-hitter.

  • PLAY BALL! MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL in BLOOMSBURG Did
    PLAY BALL! MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL IN BLOOMSBURG Did you ever dream of seeing major league baseball in Columbia County? It happened once in the past. During the recent American League Divisional Championship series between the New York Yankees and the Detroit Tigers, a few Columbia County long-time baseball fans were reminded of the series played between those same two teams at the Bloomsburg Fair in October 1925. The two major-league teams were scheduled for a three-game series during Fair week. They played on an improvised field on the racetrack infield in front of the grandstand. Each squad brought to town only the bare minimum of players; the Yankee pitchers when they were not on the mound played in the outfield. Two games were completed; the third day’s game was rained out and couldn’t be rescheduled because the teams left town for an engagement in Wilkes-Barre. The Tigers won both games, but both were close, exciting contests. The games were slated at 10:00am each day so as not to conflict with the trotting races held in the afternoons. Apparently, the Fair Board was hoping that the major leaguers would draw folks to the Fair in the usually-slack morning hours. And the scheme worked – the games drew upwards of 10,000 fans each day. At the time, the grandstand capacity was only 2,000, so the other fans crowded the railing around the oval track. In 1925 the Yankees were in the middle of their storied 1920s championship era. With Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig as mainstays, this was arguably the greatest baseball team ever assembled.

For each exercise, identify one AND ONLY ONE of our fallacies that is exhibited in that statement. GIVE A DETAILED EXPLANATION TO JUSTIFY YOUR CHOICE. 1.) "According to Joe Shlabotnik, the manager of the Waxahachie Walnuts, you should never call a hit and run play in the bottom of the ninth inning." 2.) "Are you going to major in history or are you going to major in mathematics?" 3.) "Bubba Sue is from Alabama. All girls from Alabama have two word first names." 4.) "Gosh, officer, I know I made an illegal left turn, but please don't give me a ticket.

"Former major league pitcher Ross Grimsley, nicknamed "Scuzz," would not wash or change any part of his uniform as long as the team was winning, believing that washing or changing anything would jinx the team." 6.)

    Wind-blown Cubs triumph turns into a bunch of hot air in Game 3 Witnesses to ‘45 Series should be allowed into ‘16 gala. See story below... By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Friday, October 28, 2016 A ground ball cannot be hit for a home run. And mix in key strikeouts, including Javy Baez’s whiff on a high Cody Allen fastball for the final out, and the result was the second shutout thrown by the Cleveland Indians against the Cubs in three 2016 World Series games. The Indians got a form of hoodoo, or mojo, or something dropped from the sky with their pitching staff. They have shut down the offensively robust Boston Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays. Now they are working on the Cubs, and they throttled their hosts 1-0 in the first World Series game at Wrigley Field since Oct. 10, 1945. Josh Tomlin was With a seemingly short starting rotation, Cleveland has tossed five hardly home-run shutouts in 11 postseason games. prone as he was in the regular season. The result has been witnessed before, but rarely catalogued in me- dia accounts. The wind blows out at Clark and Addison, a home-run barrage is pre- dicted, and a Cubs shutout is the end product. The outblowing flow was described as “brisk,” fitting for a vintage 1970s Cubs-Phillies- Mike Schmidt slugfest ending in a football-sized score. Yet the pitching tag team of Josh Tomlin, Andrew Miller, Bryan Shaw and closer Allen kept the Cubs well-grounded when they weren’t executing a clutch K.
