En El Año De 1944 La Segunda Guerra Mundial Estaba En Su Más Dramático Momento, Y Aún Con Ello El Beisbol De Las Grandes Ligas Nunca Se Detuvo 1944 En el año de 1944 la segunda guerra mundial estaba en su más dramático momento, y aún con ello el beisbol de las Grandes Ligas nunca se detuvo. De nueva cuenta los Cardenales de San Luis obtienen su el título de campeones mundiales por tercer año consecutivo en base a sus estrellas: Marty Marion (0.267, 6HR, 63 CP, 50 CA), Walker Cooper (0.317, 13 HR, 72 CP y 56 CA), Johnny Hopp (0.336, 11 HR, 72 CP y 106 CA), y de manera muy especial, Stan Musial (0.347, 12 HR, 94 CP y 112 CA). Los Cafés de San Luis, que comúnmente ocupaban los últimos lugares, en esta ocasión alcanzaron el título de la Liga Americana por primera vez en su historia, quizá favorecidos por la escasez de jugadores pues muchos talentos estaban en el escenario de la guerra. Pocos jugadores del club participaron en el reclutamiento militar, teniendo entre sus filas 9 jugadores regulares con más de 34 años de edad. Los inicialistas fueron: Nels Potter (19-7, 2.83), D. Galehouse (9- 10, 3.12), J. Kramer (17-3, 2.49) y B. Muncrief (13-8, 3.08). Sobresale entre ellos Sig Jakucki, quien después de 7 años de haber probado suerte en las Grandes Ligas con este mismo club y con resultados francamente malos (1936, 0-3, 8.66), logra ganar mas de una decena de partidos (13-9) con un respetable promedio de carreras limpias admitidas de 3.55. Los bateadores importantes fueron el shorstop Vern Stephens (0.293, 20HR, 109 CP) y Mike Kreevich (0.301, 6 HR, 44 CP), único en batear sobre 0.300 de porcentaje. Los Cafés ganaron sus primeros 9 juegos de la temporada y continuaron sorprendiendo al mundo del beisbol en una carrera por el primer lugar con Detroit, Boston y los Yankees. El liderato se decidió en la última semana cuando los Cafés vencieron a Nueva York cinco veces y amarraron el gallardete con una victoria de 5-2 contra los Yankees con dos jonrones de Chet Laabs (0.234, 5 HR) y uno de Stephens. El club finalizó con un récord de 89-65 en ganados y perdidos, los números más bajos para un equipo campeón de la liga en todos los tiempos. Los cronistas deportivos no pudieron escoger a un jugador de los Cafés como el más valioso de la liga, recayendo el título en Hal Newhouse de Detroit que tuvo récord de 29-9 y 2.22 en carreras limpias permitidas. El campeón bateador resultó Lou Boudreau (0.327, 76 CP) y Nick Etten fue líder en jonrones con 22 (0.293, 91 CP). Los Cardenales de San Luis dominaron completamente la liga llegando a obtener 105 triunfos, alcanzando más de 100 victorias por tercer año consecutivo. Marry 1 Marion resultó el jugador más valioso de la liga Nacional. Dixie Walker de los Dodgers fue líder bateador (0.357, 13 HR, 51 CP). Swish Nicholson de los Cachorros resultó campeón jonronero con 33 palos de vuelta entera y 122 carreras impulsadas, bateando un sólido 0.287. En verdad que la guerra afectó al beisbol de Grandes Ligas a grado tal que los talentos escasearon. Llegó el momento incluso que los Rojos de Cincinnati contrataron a Joe Nuxhall, un joven de 15 años que únicamente lanzó una entrada otorgando 5 bases por bolas y recibiendo dos hits buenos para 5 carreras. Ocho años después regresó a Grandes Ligas y durante 14 años ganó 135 partidos (perdiendo 117) con un PCL de 3.90 de por vida. Este año será recordado de modo muy especial pues fallece el comisionado Kenesaw Mountain Landis, quien duró 35 años en el cargo favoreciendo en muchas ocasiones a los jugadores más que a los propietarios. Aunque los Cafés dieron dura batalla por ganar la serie mundial, perdieron con sus vecinos 4-2 teniendo como causa importante su pobre defensa. La serie inicia el 4 de Octubre con una victoria de los Cafés (2-1), destacando un cuadrangular de Geoge McQuinn. Denny Galehouse fue el pitcher ganador. Al día siguiente Ken O’Dea batea un sencillo en la entrada número 11 empujando a Ray Sanders con la carrera ganadora (3-2) para que Cardenales empatara la serie. Dos errores de Potter y uno de Mark Christman permitieron el empate de los Cardenales. El día 6 de octubre, los cafés resultan con la victoria 6-2 destacando el pitcheo de Jack Kramer que ponchó a 10. Cinco sencillos y un wild pitch produjeron cuatro carreras en la tercera entrada y eso fue suficiente. Al siguiente día los cardenales empatan la serie 5-1 con la victoria para Harry Brecheen. Mort Cooper abanica a 12 bateadores en el juego No.5 para blanquear 3-0 a los Cafés y al siguiente día Emil Verban produce 3 carreras para que Cardenales domine 3-1 a los Cafés y obtenga su tercer título consecutivo. George McQuinn batea para 0.438 siendo el líder en la confrontación. NOTAS CORTAS: Joe DiMaggio viaja a la guerra dejando Grandes Ligas todo 1943, 44 y 45. Emil Verban batea para 0.412 en la serie mundial siendo el mejor por los Campeones. Los Cardenales ganan la serie con cuatro lanzadores diferentes. Blix Donnelly gana el juego clave de la serie (el No.2) en 13 entradas, después de que Cardenales pierde el primer juego. Dizzy Trout (27-14, 2.12) y Hal Newhouser ganan 56 juegos para los Tigres de Detroit. Trout es líder en juegos completos con 33, 352 entradas lanzadas y 7 blanqueadas. El novato de los Gigantes Bill Voiselle gana 21 juegos (31-16, 3.02) lanzando 313 entradas y es líder en ponches en la liga Nacional con 161. Ace Adams aparece en 60 juegos o más por tres años consecutivos para los Gigantes; es líder en salvamentos con 13. 2 Snuffy Stirnweiss (0.319, 8 HR, 43 CP) es líder en hits con 205 (bateó 0.219 un año antes). El Comisionado Kenesaw Mountain Landis es electo al Salón de la Fama inmediatamente después de su fallecimiento. Elmer Gedeon se convierte en el primer jugador de Grandes Ligas que muere en en combate en la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Lou Boudreau participó en 134 doble plays en 154 juegos. Ray Mueller (0.286, 73 CP) participa como receptor en 217 juegos consecutivos para los Rojos de Cincinnati y deja el récord de 154 en 155 partidos de la temporada. Tom Sunkel aparece en su ultimo juego de Grandes Ligas siendo famoso por jugar con la mitad de su vista. Fue pitcher y de por vida tuvo números de (9-14, 4.53 CLP). El novato Chuck Hostetler, a la edad de 41 años batea para 0.298 en 90 juegos para los Tigres. La liga Nacional gana el juego de Estrellas 7-1. Jim Tobin lanza un sin hit el día 27 de abril para los Bravos en contra de Dodgers y además batea un cuadrangular. El 10 de agosto Red Barrett de los Bravos lanza 58 lanzamientos para una blanqueada sobre los Rojos. El 15 de mayo Clyde Shoun lanza un sin hit para los Bravos contra Cincinnati. El tercera base de los Bravos Damon Phillips realiza 11 asistencias en un juego de nueve entradas para un récord. Dick Wakefield regresa de la zona de combate para los Tigres siendo pieza clave de la ofensiva. Spence batea 18 de los 23 cuadrangulares de Washington.

  • Noblest Redbird of Them All
    The Noblest Redbird of Them All News of Stan Musialʼs death last Saturday fills me with memories and thoughts, which I now feel impelled to write down, albeit in a rather disorganized way. I was an 8-year-old in St. Louis when Stan joined the Cardinals late in the 1941 season. Although I donʼt think I saw him play in 1941 (he played only 12 games that year), it was my privilege to see him in at least a few games every year of his career after that: 1942-44 and 1946-63. At the time, my brother Bill and I pretty much took this for granted: We loved the Cardinals, went every year to some of their games, and they had this great player. But in later years we have reflected on how unusual it is to be able to follow such a superstar through his whole career, and without making special trips to other towns just for that purpose. Itʼs almost impossible today with superstars changing teams so often, but back then you could do it. From the beginning, Musial put up impressive offensive numbers, but the so-called experts often described his “corkscrew” batting stance as awkward. Well, to us kids at the time, it didnʼt seem awkward at all: Obviously, it was producing better results than other stances, so we tried to imitate it, which is probably one of the reasons why neither I nor any of my friends of that time ever made the major leagues. Stan always claimed that this stance gave him a good view of the strike zone.
