Sunday, he closed out the World Series for the Red Sox, winning his first championship. The Red Sox called on Sale to pitch the 9th inning of Game 5 of the Fall Classic on Sunday, and the lean left-hander did not disappoint. Sale struck out Justin Turner, Kike Hernández and Manny Machado in-order, clinching the Red Sox fourth championship in 15 seasons. While White Sox fans surely wish Sale helped bring another championship to the South Side, congratulations are in order for the former White Sox ace. And, who knows? A few years down the line, maybe Michael Kopech, who the White Sox acquired from Boston in the Sale trade, will be on the mound in a World Series' clincher for the White Sox.

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.

  • Bobby Del Greco
    Bobby Del Greco, “Pittsburgh Born & Bred” ©DiamondsintheDusk.com An excellent fielding outfielder who plays 17 seasons in profes- sional baseball, Robert George “Bobby” Del Greco is one of the first players from the highly-touted Pittsburgh Pirates farm sys- tem of the early 1950’s to make it to the major leagues. A native of Pittsburgh’s Hill District, Del Greco plays nine major league seasons with six different teams – Pittsburgh Pirates (1952, 1956), St. Louis Cardinals (1956), Chicago Cubs (1957), New York Yankees (1957-1958), Philadelphia Phillies (1960-61, 1965) and the Kansas City Athletics (1962-1963). Prior to the start of the 1950 season, Pittsburgh Hall of Famer and scout Pie Traynor finds the 17-year-old Del Greco on the sandlots of Pittsburgh and signs him for $500. Less than two years later, Del Greco will start in center field for his hometown Pirates before he turns 19 years old. As a 19-year-old rookie and the National League’s third-youngest player that season, Del Greco makes his major league debut on April 16, 1942, going 3-for-4 with a triple in a 6-to-5 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. Two days later, he again goes 3-for-4 with another triple in his first-ever game at the Pirates’ Forbes Field. On June 9, 1952, Del Greco hits his first major league home run off of Milwaukee starter Jim Wilson in the sixth inning of a 3-to-2 loss to the Braves and becomes one of only 88 players, from 1900 to 2000, to hit a home run in the major leagues prior to his 20th birthday.

  • La Salle College High School Football: in Retrospect
    La Salle College High School Football: In Retrospect NOTE: This is the twenty-first of, I hope, many retrospectives highlighting some unique history of the football program at La Salle. The topics to discuss seem endless at this time. Hope you enjoy these. Bill Wasylenko, ‘69 Issue Number Twenty One: 1964 – The Year Of The Blue (and Gold) Snow As an eighth grader in the fall of 1964, I had met my first love, as had many of my peers. My first love wasn’t named Donna, Linda, or Mary Anne, it was the Philadelphia Phillies baseball team, which was unexpectedly and inexplicably riding high in first place in the powerful National League. It was “The Year Of The Blue Snow”, as coined by Phillies catcher Gus Triandos, to denote a once-in-a-lifetime MIKE TOS occurrence. Though the team had shown promise and progress the last few years, no one gave these castoffs much of a chance to win a pennant in 1964 against a lot of great teams like the Dodgers, Giants, Reds, Braves, and Cardinals. The Whiz Kids of 1950 had become long in the tooth, and the farm system was barren in the late 50’s. Many prospects were instead suspects, and by 1961, the Phils were the league doormat. Young Gene Mauch took over the helm in 1961, and labored through a 47-107 season, featuring a lovely 23-game losing streak. But there was some promise in youngsters like Johnny Callison, Tony Taylor, and Tony Gonzalez, all acquired in trades, and farmhands like catcher Clay Dalrymple and shortstop Bobby Wine were able to claim starting spots.
