  • Lou Gehrig the Last Time Lou Gehrig’S Name Appeared in a Baseball Box Score
    A Schott From The Bleachers Lou Gehrig The Last Time Lou Gehrig’s Name Appeared in a Baseball Box Score by Arthur O. Schott The following are excerpts from the Kansas City Times covering the game of Monday, June 12, 1939 – an exhibition contest at Kansas City. This was the last time Lou Gehrig’s name appeared in a baseball box score. “And all the Yankee notables performed at least for part of the game. The starting lineup found Joe DiMaggio playing in center, Bill Dickey behind the bat and Frank Crosetti at short. You even found the venerable Lou Gehrig, most popular of all the Yankees, at first base. “Lou played by popular demand. He hadn’t intended to play at all, but Lou is an obliging fellow and so he accommodated. After taking one turn at the bat in the second, when he grounded to Priddy, he retired in favor of Babe Dahlgren. But he had shown himself and the crowd roared to his name. “Vance pushed a hit past the slow-moving Gehrig and McCullough scored. “Lou Gehrig remained here and leaves this morning for the Mayo clinic at Rochester, Minn., where the veteran intends to undergo a physical examination. “Gehrig made his first appearance in a game since he dropped out of the Yankee line-up May 2. He was given a great hand when he came to bat in the third.” At Kansas City, June 12, 1939 NEW YORK AB H PO A KANSAS CITY AB H PO A Frankie Crosetti, ss 2 1 1 3 Johnny Sturm, 1b 4 0 14 1 Bill Knickerbocker, ss 2 0 2 3 Phil Rizzuto, ss 4 0 1 4 Red Rolfe, 3b 4 1 1 1 Bill Matheson, lf 4 1 2 0 Tommy Henrich, rf 4 1 4 0 Vince DiMaggio, cf 3 1 1 0 Joe DiMaggio, cf 3 0 0 0 Jerry Priddy, 2b 4 1 3 9 Jake Powell, cf 1 0 2 0 Bud Metheny, rf 4 0 1 0 Bill Dickey, c 1 0 0 0 Bill Hitchcock, 3b 3 1 1 1 Buddy Rosar, c 3 1 3 1 Clyde McCullough, c 3 1 3 1 Charlie Keller, lf 4 2 2 0 Joe Vance, p 2 1 1 1 Joe Gordon, 2b 3 0 4 4 a – Jack Saltzgaver 1 0 0 0 Lou Gehrig, 1b 1 0 4 0 Frank Makosky, p 0 0 0 1 Babe Dahlgren, 1b 3 3 4 0 Steve Sundra, p 4 0 0 3 Totals .

  • Elmer Klumpp
    Elmer Klumpp, “YooHoo” ©DiamondsintheDusk.com Subbing for starting catcher and future Office of Strategic April 17, 1934 Fenway Park Services spy Moe Berg in the 10th inning of a 6-to-5 win Boston, Massachusetts over the Boston Red Sox, Washington Senators rookie Elmer “YooHoo” Klumpp makes his major league debut on April 17, 1934, before 33,336 at Fenway Park in the season opener for both teams. A product of Milwaukee sandlot baseball, Klumpp earns a spot on the Senators’ 1934 opening day roster, but is regarded as the team’s bullpen catcher unless both Luke Sewell and Berg “ fall into slumps.” On April 20, the 27-year-old Klumpp agains subs for Berg and collects the first two of his three major league career hits with a pair of singles in three at bats in a 9-6 loss to Elmer Klumpp the Philadelphia Athletics at Shibe Park. 1934 Washington Senators However success is short-lived for the husky (6-0, 185-pound) receiver as he goes hit- less in his next 10 at bats over the next two weeks before Senators manager Joe Cronin sends him to Albany of the International (AA) League. He finishes his rookie season hitting .133 with two singles and two runs scored in 15 at bats. Klumpp strikes out only once in 17 plate apperances. Klumpp returns briefly to the majors in 1937 and goes 1-for-11 (.091) in five games for the National League’s Brooklyn Dodgers. In 17 major league games, Klumpp hits .115 with three hits and two RBIs in 26 at bats.
