Even more important, the left-hander felt healthy through six or seven side sessions, after dealing with myriad injuries during his Minor League career. That combination, along with his raw talent, puts Clarkin in play to be added to the White Sox 40-man roster by the 7 p.m. CT deadline on Monday, protecting him from exposure to selection by the rest of baseball in the Rule 5 Draft on Dec. 14 at the Winter Meetings in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. Clarkin, Chicago's No. 22 prospect according to MLBPipeline.com, was selected by the Yankees at No. 33 overall in the 2013 MLB Draft, one pick after Aaron Judge, the '17 American League Rookie of the Year Award winner and MVP Award runner-up.

  • A Long, Strange Trip to Cubs World Series
    A long, strange trip to Cubs World Series By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Friday, October 28, 2016 The Cubs appear a thoroughly dominant team with no holes, and certainly no “Cubbie Occurrences,” in playing the Cleveland Indi- ans in the generations-delayed World Series. But, to steal the millionth time from a song- writer, what a long, strange trip is has been. Truth is stranger than fiction in the Cubs Universe. On my own 45-year path of watch- ing games and talking to the newsmakers at Wrigley Field, I have been a witness to: Burt Hooton slugged a grand-slam homer off Tom “Terrific” Seaver in an 18- 5 pounding of the New York Mets in 1972. Hillary Clinton throws out first ball at Wrigley Field in 1994. On my 19th birthday, May 27, 1974, lefty Ken “Failing” Frailing pitched a complete-game 15-hitter in a 12-4 victory over the San Francisco Giants. A few weeks later, Rich Reuschel tossed a 12-hit shutout against the Lumber Com- pany Pittsburgh Pirates. In mid-Aug. 1974, the Dodgers had 24 hits by the sixth inning in an 18-8 victory over the Cubs. Apparently peeved, the Pirates in late 1975 racked up the most lopsided shutout in history, 22-0 over the Cubs. Reuschel started and gave up eight runs in the first. Brother Paul Reuschel mopped up in the ninth. Rennie Stennett went 7-for-7. Amazingly, less than a month previously, the Reuschels teamed for the only all- brother shutout in history in a 7-0 victory over the Dodgers (also witnessed here).

    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.

  • El Sable Viene Bajito
    Image not found or type unknown www.juventudrebelde.cu Image not found or type unknown De Ichiro Suzuki se echará de menos su experiencia competitiva. Autor: Internet Publicado: 21/09/2017 | 05:28 pm El sable viene bajito Pese a las anunciadas ausencias de sus estrellas «internacionales», el elenco nipón muestra una sólida escuadra de probada calidad Publicado: Domingo 09 diciembre 2012 | 02:18:14 am. Publicado por: Raiko Martín Al equipo de Japón le teme todo el mundo y ese miedo no es gratuito. Viene precedido por los inobjetables títulos conquistados en las únicas dos ediciones del Clásico Mundial de béisbol, y en la capacidad probada de armar un sólida escuadra, aunque no estén disponibles aquellos actualmente enrolados en las Grandes Ligas estadounidenses. Para algunos, las anunciadas ausencias de sus estrellas «internacionales» restan potencia al elenco nipón. Sin embargo, no son pocos los analistas que las asumen como una ventaja, teniendo en cuenta que estas figuras tienden a no seguir el ritmo de trabajo de sus compañeros. La mayoría de los expertos se inclinan a pensar que será el diestro Yu Darvish el que más se extrañe dentro de la nómina, aun cuando tampoco hayan aceptado la invitación notables lanzadores como Hiroki Kuroda y Hisashi Iwakuma. Si hay un área en la que sobre talento dentro, esa es la de los lanzadores. De el icónico Ichiro Suzuki se echará de menos la experiencia y su halo mediático, pero los entendidos señalan al menos cinco jardineros con la capacidad de batear, correr o defender con tanta o mayor calidad que él.
