  • Phillies' Victorino Gets Dumped On, Becomes Latest Pour Man's Al Smith by Paul Ladewski Posted on Monday, August
    Phillies’ Victorino gets dumped on, becomes latest pour man’s Al Smith By Paul Ladewski Posted on Monday, August 17th One-time White Sox outfielder Al Smith was a productive hitter for much of his 12 seasons in the major leagues, but the three-time All-Star is best remembered neither for any of his 1,466 career hits nor his Negro League exploits before them. Fifty years after the fact, any mention of Smith immediately stokes memories of Game 2 of the 1959 World Series, when he took perhaps the most famous beer bath in baseball history. As the headline of his New York Times obituary said, “Al Smith, 73, Dies; Was Doused in Series.” Smith passed away in January, 2002, but his name came to light again last Wednesday night, when Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Shane Victorino was doused by an overzealous Cubs fan at Wrigley Field. Compared to what Smith endured, Victorino has no reason to cry in his beer. At least he was able to catch the ball on the warning track in left-center field. On that Friday, Oct. 2, afternoon at Comiskey Park, Smith could only watch helplessly while the ball hit by Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Charlie Neal landed several feet into the lower deck in left field. Mere fractions of seconds earlier, in his haste to retrieve the ball, a fan named Melvin Piehl inadvertently knocked over a full cup of beer from atop the ledge of the wall. “It hit the bill of my cap and came down the side of my face,” Smith recalled years later.

  • 'Steely Eyes,' Chaw in Cheek, Dressing-Down Style – Zimmer Had Many Faces
    ‘Steely eyes,’ chaw in cheek, dressing-down style – Zimmer had many faces By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Friday, June 6th, 2014 Everybody knew the multiple sides – and resulting expressive faces – of Don Zimmer when they shoehorned themselves into his Wrigley Field manager’s office the late afternoon of Friday, Sept. 8, 1989. All had seen and enjoyed the cheru- bic, cheeky chaw-cradling “Popeye” image of Zimmer has he held court, telling stories of his already- astounding 38-year journey through baseball. He had taken the Cubs a long way already, to first place with three weeks to go in this shocking season, and had won friends and influenced people. Yet the media masses also had wit- nessed the darker side of Zimmer. There was the quick temper and jump-down-the-throat style of an old-school baseball lifer with few personal refinements. Above all, the eyes had it, transforming the cherub Don Zimmer (left) confers with Andre Dawson at spring into something seemingly a lot more training before the memorable 1989 season. Photo cred- sinister. it Boz Bros. “He had those steely eyes,” said then Cubs outfielder Gary Varsho. “When he was mad, his eyes opened wide and they penetrated through you. One day I got picked off after www.ChicagoBaseballMuseum.org [email protected] leading off ninth with a single. Oh, my God, coming back to the dugout facing those steely blue eyes.” On this day, the assembled media waited for the bulging eye sockets, the reddened face and the possible verbal outburst. Zimmer and buddy Jim Frey, doubling as Cubs general manager, appeared as if they lost their best friend.

  • Postseaason Sta Rec Ats & Caps & Re S, Li Ecord Ne S Ds
    Postseason Recaps, Line Scores, Stats & Records World Champions 1955 World Champions For the Brooklyn Dodgers, the 1955 World Series was not just a chance to win a championship, but an opportunity to avenge five previous World Series failures at the hands of their chief rivals, the New York Yankees. Even with their ace Don Newcombe on the mound, the Dodgers seemed to be doomed from the start, as three Yankee home runs set back Newcombe and the rest of the team in their opening 6-5 loss. Game 2 had the same result, as New York's southpaw Tommy Byrne held Brooklyn to five hits in a 4-2 victory. With the Series heading back to Brooklyn, Johnny Podres was given the start for Game 3. The Dodger lefty stymied the Yankees' offense over the first seven innings by allowing one run on four hits en route to an 8-3 victory. Podres gave the Dodger faithful a hint as to what lay ahead in the series with his complete-game, six-strikeout performance. Game 4 at Ebbets Field turned out to be an all-out slugfest. After falling behind early, 3-1, the Dodgers used the long ball to knot up the series. Future Hall of Famers Roy Campanella and Duke Snider each homered and Gil Hodges collected three of the club’s 14 hits, including a home run in the 8-5 triumph. Snider's third and fourth home runs of the Series provided the support needed for rookie Roger Craig and the Dodgers took Game 5 by a score of 5-3.

  • EBAC History – 1934-1985 from the 20Th Anniversary Brochure
    EBAC History – 1934-1985 From the 20th Anniversary brochure ELECTRIC BOAT A.C. BOOK OF SPORTS By John J. DeGange ABOUT THE AUTHOR John J. DeGange, sports editor of the New London Day, has been writing sports in this area for 30 years. His knowledge, experience and ability in addition to his close association with our activities throughout our 20-year period make him uniquely qualified to record this history. He is well known for a previous historical work, "100 Years of Harvard-Yale Rowing," written for the centennial of the Harvard-Yale Regatta in 1952. On the Sunday afternoon of March 25, 1934, a warm spring sun heralded the approach of the baseball season, but in New London sports circles there was an undercurrent of pessimism. The prospects for organizing a City Baseball league were not good. Of the six clubs that had participated the year before, two had disbanded and another proposed to cut loose and play independently. That left three teams, hardly enough to form a league. At least one more club was needed. Bleak was the picture confronting officials of the City league when they heard a grapevine report that "Ship and Engine" was thinking about going into baseball again and might be interested in joining the league. The man who would know about it, league officials were told, was a fellow named Eaton -Richard Eaton. The report of Ship and Engine's baseball revival came under the heading of news that was important if true. It had been many years since the company was represented in industrial or community athletics.
