  • Al Brancato This Article Was Written by David E
    Al Brancato This article was written by David E. Skelton The fractured skull Philadelphia Athletics shortstop Skeeter Newsome suffered on April 9, 1938 left a gaping hole in the club’s defense. Ten players, including Newsome after he recovered, attempted to fill the void through the 1939 season. One was Al Brancato, a 20- year-old September call-up from Class-A ball who had never played shortstop professionally. Enticed by the youngster’s cannon right arm, Athletics manager Connie Mack moved him from third base to short in 1940. On June 21, after watching Brancato retire Chicago White Sox great Luke Appling on a hard-hit grounder, Mack exclaimed, “There’s no telling how good that boy is going to be.”1 Though no one in the organization expected the diminutive (5-feet-nine and 188 pounds) Philadelphia native’s offense to cause fans to forget former Athletics infield greats Home Run Baker or Eddie Collins, the club was satisfied that Brancato could fill in defensively. “You keep on fielding the way you are and I’ll do the worrying about your hitting,” Mack told Brancato in May 1941.2 Ironically, the youngster’s defensive skills would fail him before the season ended. In September, as the club spiraled to its eighth straight losing season, “baseball’s grand old gentleman” lashed out. “The infielders—[Benny] McCoy, Brancato and [Pete] Suder—are terrible,” Mack grumbled. “They have hit bottom. Suder is so slow it is painful to watch him; Brancato is erratic and McCoy is—oh, he’s just McCoy, that’s all.” 3 After the season ended Brancato enlisted in the US Navy following the country’s entry into the Second World War.

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.

    All About Kalamazoo History – Kalamazoo Public Library Baseball in Kalamazoo (Since 1890) The Dead Ball Era A Rough and Rowdy Sport By the late 1800s, baseball had become America’s favorite pastime—perhaps the most widely played sport in the country—and it had changed considerably.

It was during this era that the American Association (1882 to 1891) earned its nickname “Beer and Whiskey League” for selling beer at games (four of the league’s owners were brewmasters), playing on Sundays (a 19th century taboo), and opening the sport to working-class spectators.
