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.

  • La Temporada De 1915 Culminó Con Otro Enfrentamiento Boston-Philadelphia. Esta Vez Fueron Los Sorprendentes Filis Quienes Hicie
    1915 La temporada de 1915 culminó con otro enfrentamiento Boston-Philadelphia. Esta vez fueron los sorprendentes Filis quienes hicieron la hazaña de brincar del sexto lugar un año antes hasta el obtener el banderín. Los poderosos Medias Rojas con su pitcheo profundo dominaron a los bateadores de Philadelphia, permitiendo sólo dos hits al estrella Gavvy Cravath dejando a los filis con un pobre 0.182 de promedio de bateo en la Serie Mundial. Harry Hooper y Duffy Lewis brillaron por Boston que ganó 4 juegos a 1. Los Filis de Philadelphia fueron líderes de bateo en la Liga Nacional gracias a Cravath y Luderus. Cravath impuso un nuevo récord al conectar 24 jonrones con 115 carreras impulsadas y 89 anotadas con 86 bases por bolas. Luderus fue segundo en la liga con 0.315. Pete Alexander’s obtuvo un récord de 31-10 en ganados y perdidos y 1.22 de PCL, el más bajo de la liga y de su carrera de 20 años en las Grandes Ligas; Erskine Mayer ganó 21 y junto a sus compañeros Al Demaree y Eppa Rixey diron al equipo un porcentaje de carreras limpias de 2.17. Los Gigantes de Nueva York quedaron en el sótano de la liga a 21 juegos del primer lugar y sólo brilló con ellos Larry Doyle, que ganó la corona de bateo con un porcentaje de 0.320 siendo líder en hits con 189 y en dobles con 40. En la liga Americana la pelea estuvo cerrada entre los brazos de los Medias Rojas y el bateo de los Tigres, quedando los primeros de líderes con 21/2 juegos de ventaja.

  • Babe Ruth's First Major League Home
    A Schott From The Bleachers Babe Ruth’s First Major League Home Run by Arthur O. Schott Member, Society for American Baseball Research On Thursday, May 6, 1915, George Herman “Babe” Ruth hit the first of his 714 major league home runs. It came off a pitcher named Jack Warhop, and was belted at the Polo Grounds since the Yankees rented the site from the Giants for their home games. Here’s the way the New York Times described Ruth’s first homer: For Boston, the big left-handed pitcher, Babe Ruth, was all that a pitcher is supposed to be and some more. He put his team into the running in the third inning by smashing a mighty rap into the upper tier of the right field grandstand. Ruth was the first batsman to face Warhop in the third inning and with no apparent effort he slammed a home run into the grandstand. Here’s the box score of the historic game played on May 6, 1915: BOSTON AB R H PO A E NEW YORK AB R H PO A E Hooper, rf . 5 0 0 1 1 0 Maisel, 3b . 5 1 2 3 1 1 Wagner, 2b . 5 0 3 4 2 1 Hartzell, lf . 4 0 0 0 0 0 Speaker, cf . 4 0 0 2 0 0 High, cf . 6 1 3 4 2 0 Lewis, lf . 6 1 3 2 0 0 Pipp, 1b . 6 0 1 14 0 0 Hoblitzel, 1b . 5 0 0 20 0 0 Cook, rf . 5 2 2 2 0 0 Scott, ss .
