  • Terry Cullen
    Baseball History by Terry Cullen BBaasseebbaallll HHiissttoorryy by Terry Cullen Member, Society For American Baseball Research Winning Isn’t Everything While researching another baseball topic, I noticed that fourteen pitchers active in 1901 had over 100+ career wins and also had lost more games that they had won. This number seemed a bit out of whack to me since I could only recall a handful of pitchers in this situation – Bob Friend, Pedro Ramos, and Chuck Stobbs came to mind immediately. So, out of curiosity, I began checking some other years. I was further amazed when every random year out of the five I chose had 10 or more hurlers in this same category. I quickly abandoned my original theme and plunged headlong into my new discovery. In every season from 1880 through 2006, there has been at least one major league pitcher with the above distinction. In fact, of the approximately 560 men with 100 or more victories, 105 of them, despite their best efforts, finished up with less than a .500 winning percentage. Two of them – Steve Traschel and Javier Vazquez – were on major league rosters on Opening Day 2007. Before I get too far along with this, I would like to clarify something. This is not “the worst pitchers of all-time” kind of listing, although a few of them might qualify. You don’t win over 100 games in the major leagues without a high level of skill, perseverance, and, in most instances, longevity. While just scratching the surface regarding the careers of these men, I would like to briefly illustrate the above qualities.

  • Vol. 34, No. 6 Tigers Fans Who Always Care September 2018
    Vol. 34, No. 6 Tigers Fans Who Always Care September 2018 MORRIS NUMBER RETIREMENT CEREMONY BRIGHTENS SEASON -- By Todd Miller On a sun-drenched Sunday afternoon at Comerica Park, Jack Morris became the seventh Tiger to have his uniform number retired. The pre-game ceremony, along with the Tigers’ 4-2 victory over the Twins, was a respite from a season that has been expectedly frustrating. Two weeks after being inducted to the Hall of Fame, “Mt. Morris” erupted with praise for the City of Detroit, Tigers fans and teammates, several of whom were seated on a podium between the pitcher’s mound and second base, and others with the Morris Family behind home plate. Joining Jack on the dais were fellow Hall of Fame inductee Alan Trammell and a pair of ex-teammates, Lance Parrish and Dan Petry. Also seated on the platform were Al Kaline, Willie Horton, Al Avila and Chris Ilitch. Seated behind home plate were ex-teammates Kirk Gibson, Larry Herndon, Scott Lusader, Larry Pashnick, Dave Rozema and “Sweet Lou” Whitaker, who should soon receive his own plaque in Cooperstown if there is any justice in the baseball world. Ex-trainer Pio DiSalvo rounded out the homecoming of alumni who brought us so much joy from 1983 to 1988. Tigers radio voice Dan Dickerson served as master of ceremonies. Jack’s words to the Tigers faithful were heartfelt. Said Morris, “I never knew what Detroit was like, growing up in Minnesota, but it didn’t take me long to figure it out. It was right in my wheelhouse.
