Moose Clabaugh, “62 Homers” ©Diamondsinthedusk.Com Moose Clabaugh, “62 homers” ©DiamondsintheDusk.com John William (Moose) Clabaugh, a hard-hitting outfielder/first baseman from Missouri, gains national attention during the 1926 season when he hits 62 home runs for the Tyler Trojans of the East Texas (D) League, breaking the organized baseball record of 60 established the previous season by Tony Lazzeri of the Salt Lake City Bees. Clabaugh’s home run total is even more impressive when you consider that his 62 round-trippers are achieved in only 123 games and Tyler’s elevation is 544 feet … Lazzeri totals his 60 home runs over 197 games and Salt Lake City’s elevation is listed at 4,226 feet. Despite playing for a team that finishes 57-64 and 25 1/2 games behind the first-place Longview Cannibals, Clabaugh captures the East Texas “Triple Crown”, leading the circuit in home runs, runs batted in (164) and batting average (.376). Despite playing in a low-level minor league, his performance earns him a Moose Clabaugh late-season call 1933 Baltimore Orioles Clabaugh Year by Year: up to the Brooklyn Dodgers of the National League, where he goes 1-for-14 (.071) with one RBI in 11 games.

Clabaugh wins the league’s “Triple Crown” hitting .376 with 62 home runs and 164 RBIs. It is announced on the same day that the Brooklyn Dodgers of the National League have purchased Clabaugh and that he is to report to the team im- mediately. Dispute about a Moose - Following the announcement that Clabaugh has been sold to the Brooklyn Dodgers, a dispute quickly erupts as three minor league teams - Mission Bells (AA Pacific Coast League), Denver Bears (A Western League) and the Waco Cubs (A Texas League) – each announce that they have filed claims for the rights to the slugging outfielder … Base- ball Commissioner Landis makes a “unique” ruling that invalidates all four teams’ claims, returns Clabaugh back to the Tyler Trojans ... Landis’ ruling essentially makes Clabaugh a free agent and available to the highest bid- der, which turns out to be Brooklyn.

    Barney DeForge “Luckie No More” ©DiamondsintheDusk.com On a seasonably warm Friday evening in Winston-Salem’s venerable Southside May 14, 1948 Park, the homestanding Cardinals, behind the two-hit pitching of lefty Jack Southside Park Frisinger, take the measure of visiting Reidsville 5-0 in one of four Carolina (D) Winston-Salem, North Carolina League games played that day. At first glance, it seems like just another day of minor league baseball in the Tar Heel State. After all, Winston-Salem, the league’s preseason favorite, currently resides in first place with an impressive 18-7 mark while the fifth-place Luckies drop to 9-12 and a full seven games behind their hosts. And being shutout by the 20-year-old Frisinger, a rising star in the St. Louis Car- dinals farm system, comes as no surprise to Carolina League fans. Said “to be faster than Harvey Haddix,” the burgeoning Cardinals ace limits the Luckies to a pair of singles en route to securing the third of an eventual team-high 18 wins. The 6-foot-1 Kalamazoo, Michigan, native strikes out seven and walks three in the route-going effort. However, several events that take place during the game that are suspicious and, unfortunately, a harbinger of problems to come, both for DeForge and the Carolina League. First, Winston-Salem officials report to the police there is a person in the stands “making heavy bets,” giving Reidsville and two runs which meant that if the Cardinals won by three or more runs, he will win all bets placed.

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.
