Reds Surprised With

First

Flag in 21 Years

the experts, the Cincinnati Reds captured the 1961 National League
FOOLING
pennant. By doing so, Fred Hutchinson's crew pulled one of the majors'

biggest surprises in years. The Rhinelanders generally were figured to


do little better than their sixth-place showing of '60. Instead, they set
the pace most of the way to bring Cincinnati its first flag in 21 years.
Because of the club's conglomeration of castoffs, the Reds were known
throughout the league as "ragamuffins." But they surprised everyone. Showing a 26-game improvement over 1960, they registered 93 victories against 61
defeats in finishing four lengths ahead of runner-up Los Angeles. The Reds
occupied first place or were tied for the lead on 113 of the 174 days in the
season. San Francisco enjoyed 37 days on top and Los Angeles 26.
Ironically, the season began on a sad note for Cincinnati. Powel Crosley,
Jr., owner of the Reds since 1934, died during spring training. However, under
the astute leadership of Hutchinson and Bill DeWitt, who had been named
general manager the previous winter, the club ended a pennant drouth that
had extended back to 1940. when Bill McKechnie piloted the Reds to a second
successive N. L. championship.
With the triumph, Cincinnati became the fourth different club to win
the N. L. gonfalon in as many years, providing further evidence of the even
balance of the senior circuit.
To show how lightly the Reds were regarded, they failed to draw a
single first-place vote from among the 232 members of the Baseball Writers'
Association who participated in The Sporting New^s' pre-season poll. The
Dodgers rated the favorite's role with 99 flag votes. Defending champion

Pittsburgh received 58, while Milwaukee drew 38, San Francisco 22, and St.
Louis 15. Cincinnati ranked sixth in the balloting, Chicago seventh and Philadelphia last.
The Reds started the season auspiciously. On opening day, April 11,
Jim O'Toole tamed the Cubs on four hits, 7 to 1, and Cincinnati went on to
win five of its first seven games. Then followed a string of eight successive
defeats that dumped Hutchinson's outfit into the cellar. But the Rhinelanders
turned right around to reel off nine victories in a row and climb back into
the thick of things.
When the early shakedown was completed, the Giants under rookie Manager Al Dark roared into the spotlight. Fourteen victories in an 18-game
stretch, most of them on the road, stamped the Giants as an apparently solid
team. Except for one day, San Francisco led throughout the month of May.
Walt Alston's Dodgers gave the Giants their first real jolt. May 19-21, by
sweeping a three-game series at Candlestick Park. The Reds duplicated the
trick on a May 29-30 visit to the city by the Golden Gate and in the process
climbed into a tie for first place. Although the Giants were bounced from the
top rung on June 1, they remained right on the heels of the leaders until
just before the first All-Star interlude, when they reeled under six straight
losses and eight in nine games.
June 15 found the league still enjoying a torrid four-club scramble. Fourthplace Pittsburgh was only three and one-half lengths back. Launching a
six-game victory skein that night, the Reds regained the lead the following
evening and held it continuously through the succeeding six weeks.
From June 15 up to the Dream Game layoff, July 10-12, Cincinnati won 21
out of 28 to forge a five-game advantage. The club owned a 54-30 record and
was beginning to convince the skeptics that it was a real pennant threat.
Los Angeles held second place, Pittsburgh third and San Francisco fourth
place, nine and one-half games behind. Milwaukee, St. Louis, Chicago and
Philadelphia, in that order, comprised the second division.
Resumption of the schedule saw the Rhinelanders go into a brief tailspin.
Six successive losses at Crosley Field melted the club's lead from six games
to one in a week's time.
Meantime, the Dodgers had gotten hot. Winning 12 of their final 13 games
during July, capped by an eight-victory spurt, they snatched first place
from the Reds, July 29. Cincinnati regained the top spot four nights later,
only to have Los Angeles grab it again, August 6, during a six-game winning
streak.

The splurge gave the Dodgers

19 victories in their last 22

games.

Alston's athletes encountered their worst nosedive of the year
ten losses in a row. The disastrous slide began August 14, when Ernie

Broglio hurled St. Louis to a five-hit, 5 to
Cincinnati invaded the Coliseum the next night. The Dodgers tagged Joey
Jay for two runs in the first inning, but he blanked them the remainder of
the way to win on six hits, 5 to 2. A twi-night double-header concluded the
series, August 16. First place was at stake, and a crowd of 72,140 biggest for
a twin-bill in N. L. history turned out. But they saw the Dodgers shut out
and 8 to 0, as Purkey tossed a four-hitter and O'Toole followed
twice, 6 to
with a two-hit masterpiece to extend the L. A. scoreless string to 26 innings.
With the sweep, the Reds returned to the lead. They never again were ousted
from the driver's seat, although they had several close calls.
Still reeling from this debacle, the beleaguered Dodgers went to San
Francisco, where they dropped three in a row. One of the setbacks was their
fourth whitewashing in six starts.
The Dodgers next journeyed to St. Louis and the Giants to Cincinnati.
While L. A. was losing three more to the Cardinals, Dark's sluggers won a
double-header from the Reds, 12 to 2 and 5 to 3, August 22, and slaughtered
them the next evening, 14 to 0, with a six-homer assault. The trio of triumphs
capped a surge that found the third-place Giants winning 13 of 15 games to
pull within four lengths of the top and revive flag hopes in San Francisco.
Hutchinson read the riot act to the Reds following the humiliating August
23 lambasting, and they responded by whipping the Giants in the series finale.
This started Dark's club on a crushing five-game skid.
But more trouble loomed for Cincinnati. The Dodgers, in the throes of

the Dodgers could retake the lead. They raced off to a 5 to 1 lead in the
opener of the Sabbath double-header, but Cincinnati fought back to win,

5. When the Reds also won the nightcap, 8 to 3, behind Ken Johnson, they
again were three and one-half games in front.
Following the Cincinnati series, the Dodgers won seven of their next
nine engagements, capped by a four-game sweep over the Giants. The spurt
reduced the Reds' advantage to a mere one game, September 6. But Alston's
crew then went to San Francisco for the second half of a home-and-home
series and faltered again, losing three in a row.
The Reds, meanwhile, opened their final home stand, September 8, by
launching a six-game victory streak. They eventually clinched the flag on
Tuesday, September 26. Sparked by Frank Robinson's two-run homer in
the seventh inning and Jerry Lynch's two-run blast in the eighth, the Reds
came from behind at Chicago to win, 6 to 3, and be assured of at least a
pennant tie. Some six hours later, the race was over when Pirate Lefty
Joe Gibbon blanked the Dodgers on one hit, 8 to 0, to snuff out their last hope.
Two player deals negotiated by Bill DeWitt the previous winter loomed
large in Cincinnati's flag success. Less than six weeks after being appointed
G. M., DeWitt completed a three-way swap in which the Reds obtained Pitcher
Joey Jay from Milwaukee and Third Baseman Gene Freese from the Chicago
White Sox. In the exchange, the Rhinelanders gave up Shortstop Roy McMillan,
Pitcher Cal McLish and a minor leaguer.
Jay had never won more than nine games in his seven seasons with
the Braves, but under Hutchinson's guidance the 26-year-old righthander
blossomed into a star. Racking up a 21-10 record, Jay became the Reds' first
20-game winner since Ewell Blackwell in 1947. At the same time, Freese
proved an early spark at bat and finished with 26 home runs and 87 RBIs
while batting .277.
Frank Robinson was Cincinnati's big siege gun. Enjoying the finest year
of his career, he batted .323, walloped 37 homers and drove in 124 runs to
win league MVP honors. His outfield sidekick, Vada Pinson. also had a banner
season, finishing second in the league batting race with .343 and producing
87 RBIs. Gordy Coleman also drove in 87 runs while socking 26 homers.
Next to Jay, Cincinnati's leading winner was Jim O'Toole. The lefthander posted a 19-9 ledger and the league's second lowest ERA, 3.09. Bob
Purkey, the other member of the club's Big Three, won 16 games while
losing 12. Rookie Ken Hunt furnished an early lift by gaining nine victories
through July 7 before fading. Ken Johnson, purchased from Toronto on July
a 6-2 record. Jim Brosnan proved a tower
21, took up the late slack with
of strength in the bull pen with a 10-4 ledger.
Inability to win big at home and collapse of what was tabbed the best
pitching staff in baseball cost Los Angeles the flag. Lacking a righty power
hitter to take advantage of the Coliseum's short left field fence, the Dodgers
were only 45-32 in their own park. A deal which brought Infielder Daryl
Spencer from the Cardinals, May 30, was designed to alleviate the righthanded power deficiency, but just when he began finding the range, he
fractured a small bone in the knee, July 4, and was shelved nearly three
weeks. The club experienced several other costly casualties. These included
veteran Duke Snider, who got away to a great start only to suffer a broken
right elbow, April 17, and Relief Ace Larry Sherry, who was idled several
times by injury and an ailing flipper.
Southpaws Johnny Podres and Sandy Koufax paced the Los Angeles staff
with 18 victories each. Podres lost just five decisions while Koufax dropped
13, but Sandy set a modern N. L. record by striking out 269 in 256 innings.
Stan Williams and Don Drysdale proved disappointments with 15-12 and 13-10
marks, respectively. Wally Moon was the club's leading hitter at .328, while
Ron Fairly batted .322.
Despite boasting the league's heaviest scoring team and allowing the
opposition only two more runs than the champion Reds, the Giants had to

6 to

settle for third place, eight games back of Cincinnati. Still, with 85 victories,
the club enjoyed its best record in four seasons in San Francisco and helped
Al Dark make a successful managerial debut.
Orlando Cepeda and Willie Mays led the potent Giant attack. Cepeda, alternating between first base and the outfield, paced the loop in home runs.

46 and runs batted in, 142. and hit .311. Mays was right behind with a
308 average, 40 round-trippers and 123 RBIs. Unfortunately, Dark had no
pitchers who could match the feat of his two slugging stars. Not a single
San Francisco starting hurler could win more than 13 games. It remained for
Stu Miller, ace fireman, to lead the chuckers. Enjoying his best season, Miller
racked up 14 victories against just five losses in 63 relief appearances.
After eight years as one of the National League's powers, the Braves
flopped to a fourth-place finish. It was their worst showing since moving
to Milwaukee in 1953. The poor record cost Manager Chuck Dressen his job.
Fifth during most of the first half, the Braves appeared to catch fire in a
mid-August home stand, winning ten straight to kindle slight flag hopes, but
then tapered off. On September 2, with the club in third place, Dressen was
fired and Birdie Tebbetts, who had served as executive vice-president since

October, 1958, took the helm.


Lack of pitching was the primary cause of Milwaukee's disappointing
year. A sore throwing arm which shelved Catcher Del Crandall shortly after
the season got under way also hurt the Braves' cause. Among the pitchers only veterans Warren Spahn and Lew Burdette succeeded in reaching
double figures in victories. Spahn, who tossed a no-hitter in his third start,
was only 8-11 at the AU-Star break, but went on to achieve the 20-victory
level for the twelfth time with a 21-13 record. He also posted a 3.01 ERA to lead
the league. Burdette finished with 18-11. Hank Aaron topped the Braves at bat
with a .327 average and in RBIs with 120 while socking 34 homers. Joe Adcock
belted 35 homers and Eddie Mathews 32 while batting .306.
A bad start and troubles on the road chronic problems with the Cardinals in recent years contributed to St. Louis' dip to fifth place. Other
factors were the collapse of Pitchers Ernie Broglio and Lindy McDaniel, a
spring training injury suffered by Pitcher Larry Jackson and the heart
ailment which ended Catcher Hal Smith's playing career early in June.
Broglio, a 21-game winner the year before, slipped to 9-12. McDaniel lost
the magic that made him the loop's ace reliever in '60. In a freak spring
training mishap, Jackson's jaw was broken when a broken bat struck him.
Weakened by weeks on a liquid diet, Larry was only 3-8 when Coach Johnny
Keane succeeded Solly Hemus as manager, July 6. Jackson proceeded to
win 11 of his next 12 decisions and finished with a 14-11 mark as the club
racked up a 47-33 record under Keane. Only Lefty Ray Sadecki equalled
Jackson's 14-victory total with the Cardinals. Captain Ken Boyer sparked St.
Louis offensively with a .329 average, 24 homers and 95 RBIs.
The Pirates were the year's biggest disappointment. Champions in 1960.
Danny Murtaugh's crew slipped all the way to sixth place. Pittsburgh hopes
were jolted early in the season when Vern Law, 20-game winner the previous
year, came up with an ailing pitching shoulder. He won only three games and
made just one appearance after June 11. The Bucs put him on the retired
Relief Ace Roy
list, July 7, when doctors ordered rest for his ailing flipper.
Face also encountered his worst season, winding up with a 6-12 record. Even
Bob Friend, the club's leading winner, had a losing record of 14-19. The
Pirates' brightest spots were provided by Roberto Clemente, who won the
batting title with a .351 average, and First Baseman Dick Stuart, who hit
.301 with 35 homers and 117 RBIs.
Owner P. K. Wrigley's decision to have a staff of coaches, rather than a
manager, run the Cubs failed to produce any significant improvement in the
club, and Chicago finished seventh for the second successive year. Harry
Craft, Vedie Himsl, Lou Klein and Elvin Tappe took turns serving as head
coach. Except during the first four weeks of the race, the Cubs occupied
seventh place all the way. To add to Chicago's problems, the club's star
performer. Shortstop Ernie Banks, fell victim of physical troubles. An ailing
knee ended his five-year, 717-game playing streak, June 23, and later he was
bothered by impairment of depth perception in his left eye. He hit only .278
but still managed to pace the Cubs in homers, 29. George Altman was the
team's leading hitter at .303. Don Cardwell's 15-14 record topped Cub hurlers.
For the fourth consecutive year, the Phillies wound up in the league
dungeon. Gene Mauch's hapless outfit never left the basement after May 1,
when a ten-game losing streak set in. This tailspin, however, was nothing
compared to the one the Phils encountered later on. Starting July 23, Philadelphia lost 28 out of 29 games, including a twentieth-century major league
record of 23 defeats in a row. John Buzhardt finally snipped the skein by
beating Milwaukee, 7 to 4, in the windup of a twin-bill. August 20.

script as
the final

the 1961 American League pennant race unfolded. When


the New York Yankees once again reigned as champions. For the perennial kingpins, it was their twelfth flag in the last 15 years and No. 26 in
club history.
The Yankees' success, although repetitious of an old, old story, bore the
stamp of completely new leadership. Ralph Houk was at the helm and Roy
Hamey pulled the strings as front-office boss. Houk, formerly a coach under
Casev Stengel, had succeeded tha Ol' Perfessor as skipper following the '60
campaign, while Hamey replaced George M. Weiss as general manager.
Houk capped his spectacular Big Time managerial debut by leading the
Yankees to victory in the World's Series. In trimming the Cincinnati Reds,
four games to one, the Bombers gave Houk the distinction of being only the
third freshman pilot to win the blue-ribbon classic. Stanley (Bucky) Harris
turned the trick with the Washington Senators in 1924 and Eddie Dyer duplicated the feat with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1946.
Boasting the game's most potent home-run punch, plus strong pitching
and a sharp defense, the New Yorkers finished eight full games ahead of
runner-up Detroit. With the help of the longer schedule, the Yankees posted
109 victories third highest total in American League annals as compared
to 53 defeats. Their .673 winning percentage was the circuit's best since Cleveland hung up a .721 percentage with a record 111 triumphs and 43 losses in
fell,

1954.

The Yankees entered the race as topheavy favorites to repeat. In The


Sporting New^s' annual pre-season poll of members of the Baseball Writers'
Association, 122 of the 234 who participated selected New York for the
pennant. Baltimore was accorded 64 first-place votes to rank second, while
Chicago received 34 and Cleveland 12. The two other flag votes went to
Detroit and Minnesota, which rated fifth and sixth, respectively, in the poll.
They were followed by Boston and Kansas City, while the new Los Angeles
and Washington clubs were tabbed to bring up the rear.
Detroit proved to be the league's big surprise and the only real threat
Bob Scheffing's club set the pace during most of

the first half of the campaign. After bowing to Cleveland in the season
opener, April 11, the Tigers proceeded to win their next eight games. Another
victory skein of six early in May catapulted the Bengals to a 17-5 record,
and they held the lead throughout the month.
Cleveland enjoyed a brief flurry of flag excitement early in June. Buried
in fifth place with a 12-13 mark on May 13, the Indians suddenly went on
the war path. Jimmie Dykes' warriors won 22 of their next 26 games to
climb into contention. On June 6 they seized the lead from Detroit during
a ten-game victory binge. The Tribe clung to the top rung for nine days.
Like the Indians, the Yankees experienced rough going during the opening month. They found themselves a mere two games over .500 at 17-15
through May 21 before making their move. Houk's crew fairly sizzled during
the first part of June with 11 victories in a 12-game stretch. The Bombers
finally grabbed first place for one day, June 15, replacing Cleveland when
Ralph Terry beat the Indians in 11 innings, 3 to 2. The following night Detroit regained the top spot.
Following the Indians' ouster from first place, they faded from the
pennant picture almost as quickly as they had soared to the top. Tribe hopes
evaporated late in June in a string of seven straight defeats and ten in 12
games. From that point on it was strictly a two-team race between Detroit

and

New

York.

The Tigers still were in the van when the first All-Star break arrived,
July 10-12. They boasted a 55-30 record. The Yankees occupied second place
with a 53-29 mark. Baltimore was third, seven games back, and Cleveland
fourth, eight and one-half behind. They were followed in order by Chicago,

Boston, Washington, Los Angeles, Minnesota and Kansas City.


During the next 12 days the Yankees and Tigers alternated in the lead.
On July 25 the Yankees launched a home stand by beating the White Sox
twice. Wheeling out their big guns for eight homers, including two in each
game by Roger Maris, the Bombers routed the Pale Hose, 5 to 1 and 12 to 0,

The double victory marked the start of a spurt which found the New
Yorkers winning 16 of 20 games, including nine in a row. However, Detroit
hung on doggedly. The Bengals never fell more than four lengths behind.
In fact, with 11 victories in their last 14 starts, they were just a game and a

The year's largest crowd, 65,566, attended the Friday night series opener.
Don Mossi started against Ford in a contest that developed into an old-fashioned pitching duel. When a muscle strain in the hip forced Whitey out in
the fifth inning, Bud Daley relieved and continued the scoreless battle.
Arroyo replaced him in the ninth. With two out in the bottom of the ninth,
Mossi wilted in the 90-degree heat, yielding singles to Elston Howard, Yogi
Berra and Bill Skowron for a 1 to
Yankee victory.

In the Sunday clash, a crowd of 55,676 saw Yankee power erupt in the
ninth inning to pull the game from the fire, 8 to 5. Detroit went into the
ninth with a 5 to 4 lead, only to have Mickey Mantle knot the score with
homer No. 50 his second of the day. Later in the frame Howard slammed a
three-run homer to break up the game. Arroyo, who had relieved Stafford
in the eighth, again was the victor.
The series sweep launched the New Yorkers on a 13-game victory skein.
The Tigers, meantime, continued on the skids, losing three more at Baltimore

and two at Boston before ending their tailspin at eight games. By September 10 the Yankee advantage had ballooned to 11 V2 lengths their biggest lead
of the year.
Houk's crew clinched the pennant in a historic game at Baltimore, September 20. The contest marked Maris' last chance at Babe Ruth's 154-game
season homer record. Although Roger failed in his bid, he managed to hit
No. 59 that night in helping Terry best the Orioles' Milt Pappas, 4 to 2.
The club which Houk piloted to the title was basically the same squad
with which Stengel won in 1960. The chief additions were Roland Sheldon,
a rookie pitcher with just one year of Class D experience who broke in with
an 11-5 record, and Southpaw Bud Daley, obtained from Kansas City in a
mid-June deal. The new skipper himself made several significant moves.
These included abandoning Ol' Case's platooning methods, speeding up
Whitey Ford's pitching schedule and employing Yogi Berra, veteran catcher,
almost exclusively as an outfielder to give Elston Howard and John Blanchard more opportunity to play.
Feasting on the diluted pitching of the expanded circuit, the Yankees
slammed a record-breaking 240 home runs. This was 19 more than the preduo of Maris and Mantle set
&
vious major league high. The famed
the pace. Maris finished with 61, an all-time high, and Mantle with 54, making
them the most prolific duo in history. Four other Yankees hit at least 20
Bill Skowron, 28; Berra, 22, and Howard and Blanchard, 21 each. Despite batting only .269, Maris also led the league in RBIs with 142. Mantle drove in
128 runs with his .317 average. Howard compiled the club's best batting

average,

.348.

Houk's stepped-up schedule for Ford paid off handsomely. The 32-yearold southpaw enjoyed the greatest season of his career, winning 25 games
while losing only four. Ralph Terry was the second biggest Yankee winner
with a 16-3 log. Next to Ford, however, the club's most valuable hurler was
Lefty Luis Arroyo. The rescue specialist, who saved many of Whitey's victories, racked up a 15-5 record and a 2.19 ERA while working in 65 games,
all in relief. Bill Stafford rounded out the starting Big Three with a 14-9
ledger and a 2.69 ERA, second best in the league among contenders for the
earned-run crown.
By finishing second in Bob Scheffing's first year at the Tiger helm, Detroit
made its finest showing since 1950. The Bengals also were runners-up to New
York on that occasion. With the help of the lengthened schedule, the club
matched the all-time Motor City high of 101 victories set by Mickey Cochrane's 1934 champions.
Weakest-hitting team in the league a year earlier, the Tigers boasted the

home-run department were they overshadowed offensively by the Yankees.
Norm Cash blossomed into the league batting champion with a .361 average and Al Kaline finished second at .324. Rocky Colavito, experiencing the
finest of his six years in the Bi* Time, batted .290 and hit 45 home runs
second highest total in Tiger lore. With Colavito driving in 140 runs and
Cash 132, the Bengals boasted the leading RBI duo in the league.
Unfortunately, Scheffing lacked the pitching depth of the Yankees. Frank
Lary, Jim Running and Don Mossi formed a strong Big Three, but the secondline hurling was below par. Lary set a personal high by winning 23 games
against nine defeats. Bunning hung up a 17-11 record, while Mossi made a
strong comeback from his 1960 arm trouble with a 15-7 showing.
The Orioles compiled the best record in the club's history, yet slipped
one notch below their '60 finish to third place. Unlike the previous season, Baltimore was never a factor in the race. A wretched start saw the
club at the .500 level as late as June 22. Even so the Birds wound up with
95 victories six more than the former Baltimore high. Paul Richards guided
the Orioles until September 1 when he turned the reins over to Coach Lum
Harris preliminary to joining the new Houston Colt .45s as general manager.
First Baseman Jim Gentile and Southpaw Steve Barber, two rookie finds
of 1960, were easily Baltimore's standouts. For the second successive year Gentile set a club record in RBIs with 141
only one behind Maris' loop-leading
total. He also established an Oriole mark with 46 homers and led the club
with a .302 average. Barber chalked up an 18-12 record, including eight
shutouts. Chuck Estrada was the team's second-leading winner at 15-9.

Lopez in his 14 years as manager. Off to an even worse start than the Orioles,
Chicago was still in the cellar on June 11. The Pale Hose then did a sudden
about-face, winning 19 of their next 20 starts including 12 in a rowfor
the year's most spectacular spurt, only to wilt again.
Southpaw Juan Pizarro, obtained in a winter deal, was the lone Chisox
hurler able to register more than ten victories. He chalked up 14 against
seven losses while posting a fine 3.05 ERA. Early Wynn, 41-year-old righthander, developed shoulder trouble early in June and quit for the season
late in July after chalking up an 8-2 record. Rookie Floyd Robinson was the
Chicagoans' leading hitter at .310. Al Smith, enjoying the most productive
year of his career, nosed out Roy Sievers for club leadership by one in both
homers with 28 and RBIs with 93.
After showing signs early in June of being a pennant threat, the Indians
failed to maintain even a .400 clip the remainder of the way and wound up
fifth, 301/2 games off the Yankees' pace. The dismal performance led to the
firing of Manager Jimmie Dykes on the final day of the season. Jimmy
Piersall topped Cleveland at bat with a .322 average, but Willie Kirkland
led the club in homers, 27, and RBIs, 95. Jim Grant, who ran up a 7-0
record during the Tribe's early surge, was the leading winner with a 15-9
ledger. Barry Latman, used exclusively in relief up until July, won nine
decisions before sustaining his initial defeat, July 23, and finished with a
13-5 record.

Despite unveiling three brilliant rookie prospects, the Red Sox were able
to rise just one notch above 1960 to sixth place. The freshman trio consisted
of Don Schwall, Chuck Schilling and Carl Yastrzemski. Schwall wasn't called
up from Seattle (Pacific Coast) until May 16, yet wound up as Boston's
biggest winner with 15 triumphs against seven setbacks. Outfielder Jackie
Jensen rejoined Mike Higgins' club following a year in retirement, partially
off setting the retirement of Veteran Ted Williams. Jensen, however, jumped
the Red Sox briefly, April 30, because of his disappointment over his poor
start. Rejoining the club eight days later, he managed to hit only .263 for
the season with just 13 homers and 66 RBIs.

The Twins, transplanted from Washington, received

a tremendously en-

thusiastic welcome in their new Minnesota home, but their followers had to
settle for a seventh-place finish. Starting off with nine victories in the first
12 games, the Twins breathed the heady air of first place briefly before a
steady decline set in. On June 6, with the club in the midst of a string of
13 straight losses and 18 in 19 games, President Calvin Griffith furloughed
Manager Cookie Lavagetto. Coach Sam Mele bossed the Twins until Lavagetto's return, June 13.
When the club failed to show any noticeable improvement, Lavagetto was dismissed, June 23, and Mele took over as manager.
Harmon Killebrew wielded Minnesota's most explosive bat, walloping 46 homers and driving in 122 runs. The club's ace hurler was Camilo Pascual, who
won 15 games eight via the shutout route.
Of the two new clubs. Bill Rigney's Angels were the biggest surprise.
Many observers predicted the team wouldn't win more than about 40 games.
Instead, Los Angeles scored 70 victories. Cellar occupants most of the time
up to July 4, the Angels played at exactly a .500 clip in their last 90 games.
Taking advantage of the small confines of their Wrigley Field home, they
came up with five plavers in the 20-homer class. Leon Wagner led the club
in homers (28) and RBIs (79), while Ken McBride topped Angel hurlers in
victories with 12.
In contrast to Los Angeles, the new Senators performed at a .500 gait
through June 15, then went into a ten-game tailspin. Mickey Vernon's club
never regained its early form. From August 1 on, Washington played the
worst ball in the league, losing 44 of 58 games, including one stretch of 24
defeats in 25 starts. The Senators, weakest-hitting team in the league, had only
one .300 hitter Gene Woodling, who batted .313. Dick Donovan led the league
with a 2.40 ERA, but had to settle for a 10-10 record.
Kansas City experienced the most disappointing and hectic season of its
seven years in the league. Only a closing day victory over Washington enabled the A's to tie the Senators for ninth place. New Owner Charles Finley
changed managers, June 19, dropping Joe Gordon in favor of Hank Bauer.
And on August 22 he fired General Manager Frank Lane and named Pat
Friday to succeed him. The A's brightest spots were Norm Siebern, who
batted .296 and drove in 98 runs, and Rookie Shortstop Dick Howser, who
batted .280 and stole 37 bases.

PHILLEY SET PINCH-HIT RECORD WITH 24 BINGLES


Dave Philley, veteran infielder-outfielder with Baltimore, established an
all-time major league record for hits by a pinch-hitter in 1961. Used as
a pinch-swinger on 80 occasions, the Oriole rapper delivered 24 safeties
in 73 official at-bats. This exceeded by two the previous high of 22 pinchhits set by Sam Leslie with the New York Giants in 1932. Philley, who
observed his forty-first birthday early in the season, drove 18 runs across
the plate in his pinch roles.

VEECK, COMISKEY SOLD HOLDINGS IN WHITE SOX

Two major league clubs the Cincinnati Reds and the Chicago White Sox
underwent changes in ownership in 1961. The death of Powel Crosley, Jr.,
principal owner, on March 28 brought about the change on the Reds. His 80
per cent interest in the club passed to the Crosley Foundation, a non-profit
trust he had set up. On December 18 General Manager William O. DeWitt
was elected president of the Reds, filling the vacancy created by Crosley's
death, while Stanley E. Kess, the late owner's son-in-law, was named chairman
of the board. In the case of the White Sox. there were two major stock
transactions during the year. One found Bill Veeck leaving the game, at least
temporarily. The other saw the Comiskey family's 62-year association with
the club come to an end. Veeck, suffering from a serious, undetermined illness,
sold his interest, June 12. Arthur C. Allyn, Chicago investment broker, bought
out both Veeck, who had headed the White Sox since 1959, and Vice-President
Hank Greenberg for a reported $2,940,000. Veeck. Greenberg and Allyn were
the principal partners in the CBC Corporation which purchased the 54 per cent
of the White Sox held by Mrs. Dorothy Comiskey Rigney in February, 1959.
Of the CBC Corp. stock, Greenberg owned 40 per cent, Veeck 30 per cent and
Allyn 24 per cent. On buying out his partners, Allyn retained Greenberg as
vice-president-general manager, but on Augu^ 26 Ed Short succeeded Hank as
G. M. The last of the Comiskey clan passed from the White Sox picture,
December 15, when Charles A. Comiskey II. grandson of the club's founder,
Charles A. (The Old Roman) Comiskey, sold his 46 per cent holdings. A group
of 11 young business and professional men from Chicago, organized by Attorney
Thomas A. Reynolds, Jr., bought Chuck's stock for an estimated $3,300,000.

By ERNIE HARWELL
Editor's Note: "The Game for All America," Ernie Harwell's tribute
originally appeared as a guest editorial in the season-opening
issue of THE SPORTING NEWS back in 1955, has since become a classic.
Frequently reprinted, quoted by speakers and represented by a framed
copy in the Baseball Hall of Fame at Cooperstown, it is reprinted here as
an expression of the true spirit of the National Game.

Baseball is the President of the United States tossing out the first ball
of the season; and a pudgy schoolboy playing catch with his dad on a

It's the big league pitcher who sings in night clubs. And the Hollywood

A tall, thin old man waving a scorecard from his dugout that's baseball.
So is the big, fat guy with a bulbous nose running out one of his 714 home

chalked up in winning the first A. L. award. Arroyo's nearest rival was
Hoyt Wilhelm, veteran Baltimore knuckleballer. Wilhelm had 25 points on
nine wins and 16 saves.
In the National League, Miller was credited with 26 points only four
ahead of runner-up Jim Brosnan of Cincinnati. The soft-throwing 33-yearold Giant righthander won 14 games in rescue roles and was credited with
saving 12 others. Brosnan likewise posted a dozen saves, but the bespectacled
Red fireman won only ten decisions.
Under The Sporting News' rules, saves were awarded only under specific
circumstances. Briefly, the rules provided that to gain a save a reliever
had to pitch one or more perfect innings if he entered the game with a tworun lead, or face the potential tying or leading run, and his team had to win.
No more than one save could be given in any game, and a reliever who
received the victory could not be credited with a save.
Arroyo saved games for every regular Yankee starter, but he was especially helpful to 25-game winner Whitey Ford.
The 34-year-old bull-pen ace
saved seven games for Ford and finished five of Whitey's other victories
in which he wasn't eligible for a save. In addition, Arroyo was the winner

RUTH'S 60 HOMERS STILL TOPS


Maris Set 162-Game Season High With

61

By DAN DANIEL
season of 1961 went into baseball history as the Year of
In individual achievement, in club accomplishment, in
league performance there were new records of remarkable size and deep
significance. Roger Maris of the New York Yankees set a new mark for
a 162-game schedule with 61 round-trippers. The Yankees came through with
the amazing total of 240 homers, against the old high of 221 shared by the
1947 Giants and the 1956 Reds. The Yankees' old league mark was 190, attained in 1956.
Maris and Mickey Mantle, who hit 54 in a season curtailed by illness,
between them accounted for 115 home runs, excelling the old two-man record written into the books by Babe Ruth, with 60, and Lou Gehrig, with 47,

the Home Run.

for a total of 107, in 1927.


The rise in home-run production in the American League, in particular,
had the experts by the ears and developed a variety of research enterprises.
The American League accounted for 1,534 four-baggers, a major mark,
and the National League came up with 1,196, so that the two circuits put to-

gether

2,730.

Behind Maris and Mantle in their league came Jim Gentile of Baltimore
and Harmon Killebrew of Minnesota with 46 each; Rocky Colavito, Detroit,
with 45, and his teammate, Norman Cash, with 41. Gentile matched the major mark for grand-slam homers with five.
Orlando Cepeda of San Francisco set the home-run pace in the National
League with 46, with Willie Mays, his clubmate, coming next with 40 and
Cincinnati's Frank Robinson, Most Valuable Player award winner, embellishing his season's attainments with 37.
Out of the plethora of home runs came an effort to bolster the pitching
by returning the highly-controversial spitball to legal status. This proposal
was vetoed at a meeting of the Rules Committee in Tampa, Fla., November
26, 1961, with only one supporting vote
from Cal Hubbard, supervisor of
umpires for the American League.
As Maris kept crashing homers, the researchers began to examine the
official ball manufactured by A. G. Spalding & Bros, and compare it with
similar products of the past. Old dried-up baseballs were cut apart and dissected. More recent concoctions of leather and rubber, wool and glue were
subjected to careful autopsies. Testing laboratories were employed by newspapers and magazines to give baseballs of various ages and eras examinations
for resiliency and content.
When all the tests had been finished, the report came to this: There
obviously had been no changes in the ball.
While the dissecting corps was busy along its own lines, the experts in
pitching techniques were hunting for some sort of solutions and conclusions
on the field. All sorts of unmerited and unfounded aspersions were cast
on the company of hurlers.
The pitchers of 1961 came off somewhat the worse for wear as reporters
who had not been around in 1927 arrived at the conclusion that Ruth and
Gehrig had faced much more able and efficient hurlers than those off whom
Maris, Mantle, Cepeda, Mays et al were hitting their home runs.
Virtually no allowances were made for the fact that the life of a pitcher,
the life of any player, was much more arduous than in 1927, when there was
no night competition, and the rigors endured in this Jet Age of traveling
also were absent.
Keen students of pitching felt that young hurlers now were coming into
the majors with far greater repertoires, stressed by the slider, than their
predecessor of a generation or more ago brought out of the minor leagues.
Eventually the experts turned to the bats now in use. Compared with the

cognoscenti decided that, contrary to popular belief, the light bats, more
maneuverable, more whippy and faster in action, were more effective weapons
for homers than the old, much heavier sticks.
Casey Stengel countered with the statement that the light bats were
effective only if the ball were "hit on the nose" with the fat of the stick.
The or Perfessor also announced that the new-style bats were piling up
strikeouts. He made a plea for more robust and heavier weapons.
As the 1961 season rolled along, it became apparent that Maris and Mantle
were engaged in a home-run duel, and that the Ruth record of 60 homers
might be in danger of eclipse.
Late in July, with Maris at the 40 level and Mantle at 38, Commissioner
Ford Frick issued a pronunciamento to clarify the question that the longer,

162-same schedule posed.


Frick said, "Babe Ruth's mark of

AND RECORD BOOK

154 games in 1927, cannot be broken unless some batter hits 61 or more
within his club's first 154 games." Later he explained that he meant 154
games played to a decision.
In short, if Maris or Mantle hit 61 inside the American League's enlarged
schedule of 162 games, brought about by expansion from eight clubs to ten,
Ruth's mark would stand if the sixty-first homer were achieved in the eight

additional contests.
At first the Frick dictum was taken to mean that if a new record were
set with the aid of the added games, it would get nothing more than secondary billing in the record book.
The commissioner subsequently amplified his position by declaring that
61 homers gathered with expanded-schedule help would go into the book as
a new record for 162 games but would not be accepted as having displaced

the Ruth achievement.


In the meantime. Maris and Mantle went right on hitting homers. In the
Yankees' game No. 116, in Washington on August 13, both Mickey and Roger
hit homers off Bennie Daniels. Now Mantle had 45 and Maris 44, and writers
and fans around the country got the feeUng that Mickey would be the record setter, if a record were made. However, soon Mantle became ill and

without real opposition.

Mickey hit No. 53 on September 10 off Jim Perry of the Cleveland Indians. The day previous. Maris got his fifty-sixth off Mudcat Grant of Cleveland. Then the Bombers shifted to Detroit, where Maris shook up Frank
Lary on September 16 and Terry Fox the following day.
This left Roger with 58 homers and only two games in which to meet
Frlck's record stipulation in so far as the Ruth mark was involved.
Actually, there were 163 games on the New York card, the extra contest being a replay of an April 22 seven-inning tie in Baltimore.
Maris did not hit one in that abbreviated draw, caused by a violent
storm. But he did pole a presentable drive out of the Baltimore arena on
the night of July 17 which didn't count. He did it in the first round. With
two Yankees retired in the fifth inning and the score 4 to 1 in their favor,
the downpour became so violent that it stopped action. Play could not be
resumed and so Maris lost his homer and the Bombers lost their victory.
In a 154-game season. Maris would have finished with 59 homers and
Mantle with 53. Actually, Roger didn't hit his fifty-ninth until Yankee game
No. 155 on the night of September 20 in Baltimore, but because of the earlier
just as Ruth had one extra game in 1927 because
tie, he got this extra chance
of a

tie.

Roger tagged Baltimore's Jack Fisher for his sixtieth circuit smash in
the third inning, September 26, in game No. 159 under the arcs at Yankee
Stadium. The blow gave the Bombers their slim winning margin, 3 to 2.
While Ruth hit his sixtieth in the Yanks' next-to-last contest of the 1927
season, Maris exploded his sixty-first in the 1961 finale in the Bronx, October 1.
The Boston Red Sox were the visiting outfit and Tracy Stallard was pitching for them when Maris drove the ball into the right field stands in the
fourth inning.
There the missile was caught by a little guy from Brooklyn named Sal

he held tight and before long got a trip to California and collected his five

Since the Yankees won the pennant by a margin of eight lengths over
Detroit, Maris' sixty-first homer, which beat Boston, 1 to 0, did not carry
the championship with it. But it was a splendid performance in a fitting
setting.

While the Yankees were playing their final Baltimore series, which
produced homer No. 60 for Maris, Mantle was out of action. Mickey developed a virus which spread through his system and settled in his right
His final effort was a one-inning stint against the Orioles in the Sta26.
He had made his last appearance in the regular
lineup in Boston, September 24. The day previous in Fenway Park he had
tagged Don Schwall for homer No. 54.
Later Mantle had to undergo surgery for an abscess in the hip. He
mended slowly and badly and was forced to curtail his appearances in the

While the Maris-Mantle battle engrossed the fans and stirred the writers,
they also were aroused over the comparison of pace between the 1961 Maris
and the 1927 Ruth.
Once it became definitely established that Maris presented a threat to the
Babe's record, newspapers around the country began to run boxes showing
how Maris was faring against the rate at which the Babe gathered his fourbaggers in his biggest season.
On July 12, 1927, Ruth had hit 30. On that date in 1961, Maris had 33.
On August 1, 1961, Maris boasted 40 and comparisons got hotter. The Babe's
log showed 34.
Now the sports pages adopted a crescendo tempo in playing up the 1961
slugger's chances to beat the record. The September 1 score favored Maris,
But the experts pointed out that Ruth had had that terrific last
51 to 43.

month, in which he hit 17 homers.


As it turned out. Maris hit only nine in September. He had belted 11 in
August while Ruth had gathered nine in that interval of 31 days.
In accumulating his 60 home runs, Ruth hit 19 off lefthanders. In the
process of piling up his 61, Maris wangled a dozen off southpaws, and that
was considered a good showing. He has a marked distaste for portsiders.
While Maris was fighting Mantle, Ruth's record, the southpaws all the
way, and the resentful righthanders who toward the end of the season became increasingly reluctant to pitch to him, there was a poignant drama
behind the scenes.
As far as experience as a spectacular slugger was concerned. Maris offered utterly no comparison with the boisterous Babe. Ruth took it all in
stride. In going for 60, he was competing against his own record of 59, set
in 1921. As he kept piling up those four-baggers, the Yankee clubhouse
scene was one of joviality and laughter. Interviewing the Babe was short
and unmarked by a multiplicity of questions in the now-current baseball
reporting manner.
Maris, on the other hand, found the daily interviews more punishing
than he could stand. Most of the questions put to him hardly were of the
ultra-germane class. For the interviewers, it was a matter of getting quotes,
of following sports editor orders, of forcing Maris to say things.
From day to day the tensions bore down on Roger, harder and harder.
One night he escaped the reporters and took refuge in Gus Mauch's training room. There, under an old Yankee rule, he could not be pursued by the
quizzers. They resented his escape and came down on him harder than ever.
This situation came to a head in Baltimore on the night of September 20.
He had gone two games minus a homer. After ruminating in front of his
locker for an hour. Maris finally walked into Manager Ralph Houk's office.
Tears were streaming down Roger's face. "Ralph, I can't stand those
questions any more. I need help, I am at the end of my rope. Why don't they
leave me alone?" he pleaded.
Houk locked the door and sat down with Maris for a heart-to-heart talk
which lasted half an hour. Then the Major said, "You are going to hit one
tonight. Don't mind the reporters. They merely are doing a job."
Maris hit No. 59 that night. The tension broke. It kept wearing off and
the smile which had left Roger's face early in July returned.
When Ruth hit his 60 in 1927. we of the press box felt that he would be
on his way to 65 in 1928 or 1929. But it turned out that with 60, the Babe
had reached his crest. In 1928 he started to fade. He got 54 that season and
in his six seasons with the Yankees thereafter never hit the 50 level.
What lies before Roger Maris? He is 27, and he has yet to achieve his
peak.

stole the

While only the course of future events will determine whether expansion can be termed a success, the American League's first season as a
ten-club circuit produced mixed reactions. Many observers viewed the results as satisfactory, but others were less enthusiastic. Doubtless the spectacular home-run derby involving the Yankees' Roger Maris and Mickey
Mantle (described on pages 111-116) took the spotlight off other significant
aspects of expansion.
Both of the A. L.'s two neophyte teams the Los Angeles Angels and
Washington Senators did about as well as expected. From the start they
faced a severe talent problem. Both opened the season with rosters composed chiefly of players who had been second-stringers on rival A. L. clubs the
previous year. In a league player pool set up in December, 1960, to man the
two clubs, the Angels and the Senators selected 28 players apiece from the

clubs disgraced itself. In fact, the Angels finished only half a game out of
seventh place. The Senators, after a fine first-half showing, had to settle
for a tie with Kansas City for last place.
Probably the bitterest disappointment experienced by the new American
League clubs came at the gate. The Senators played to only 597,287 fans
lowest figure in the circuit and almost 150,000 under the draw that Calvin
Griffith's former Washington club registered in the capital in 1960. The Angels
did only slightly better with 603,510. On the other hand, Griffith's transplanted Minnesota Twins attracted 1,256,723 in their new home in the Twin
Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. This topped by almost 230,000 the club's
peak attendance during its 60 years in Washington.
Meantime, the two new National League clubs the Houston Colt .45s and
New York Mets continued preparations for their 1962 debuts. The preparations included selection of front-office personnel, managers and coaching staffs, the signing of scouts and free-agent talent, organization of a
farm system, arranging for a park and selection of players from the league
player pool at the close of the season.
Houston entered 1961 with its front-office staff virtually completed.
However, in a surprise move Gabe Paul announced his resignation as Colt
general manager. April 27, to accept a similar position with the Cleveland
Indians.
The Cleveland post had been vacant since Frank Lane switched
to Kansas City, January 3, under a four-year contract.
Other Colt executives assumed the G. M. duties at Houston until Paul Richards stepped
down as Baltimore manager, September 1, to sign a three-year pact as

Houston front-office boss.

The Mets, moving more

cautiously,

finally

solidified

their

executive

with the appointment of George M. Weiss as president, March 14. M.


Donald Grant, who had been president, moved up to the role of board
chairman. Less than five months earlier, Weiss had resigned as general
manager of the New York Yankees because he had passed the club's newlyadopted retirement age of 65.
Casey Stengel also re-entered the major league picture after a one-year
absence when he signed to manage the Mets, October 2. The move reunited
the 71-year-old skipper and Weiss, the most successful field and front-office
duo in diamond history while with the Yankees. Like Weiss, Ol' Case had
severed connections with the Bombers after the 1960 pennant-winning season.
The Colts selected Harry Craft as their manager. The one-time Kansas
City As pilot started the 1961 season as a member of the Chicago Cubs' revolvmg staff of coaches, but piloted the Cubs' Houston farm club in the
American Association from July 16 through the close of the season.

in New York and Houston,
The Mets signed a lease to play at the Polo Grounds, abandoned by
the Giants after the '57 season, until a new stadium in Flushing Meadow Park
could be constructed. The City of New York appropriated funds to build
an arena seating 55,000 for baseball and 60,000 for football. Ground for the
Flushing Meadow Stadium, expected to cost around $17,800,000, was broken on
October 28.

To provide the Colts and Mets with a nucleus of players, the National
League's eight holdover clubs established a player pool. It was a modified version of that followed by the American League late in 1960 to stock
the new Washington Senators and Los Angeles Angels.
Each N. L, club was required to file with the Commissioner's office by
September 20 a list of 15 players seven from their 25-man roster of August
31 and eight from their group of optionees or minor league acquisitions.
The formula also provided that, following the selections from the aforementioned lists, each club would put up two more players from its August
31 roster for a so-called premium draft.
Under the N. L. arrangement, both Houston and New York were required to pick two players from each 15-man list at a cost of $75,000 apiece.
They also were permitted but not required to make a third selection from
each club at $50,000. In addition, the Colts and Mets both had to pick four
of the so-called premium players no more than one could be taken from
any team at $125,000 each.
The selection meeting, scheduled for the day after the World's Series
ended, took place in the Netherland-Hilton Hotel in Cincinnati, October 10.
Houston won the flip of the coin to determine first choice in the $75,000
draft and picked Infielder Eddie Bressoud of San Francisco.
New York
followed by choosing Hobie Landrith, San Francisco catcher.
At the close of this phase of the selections, the eight holdover clubs
named their "premium" eligibles. The Mets won the flip this time and
started by grabbing Bob Miller, St. Louis pitcher.
The entire proceedings
consumed approximately four hours, and when the drafting was completed, the Mets had claimed 22 players at a cost of $1,800,000 and the Colts
had acquired 23 for an outlay of $1,850,000.
The complete list of players selected by the Colts and the Mets, with
an asterisk indicating the so-called premium players, follows:
Houston Colts: Pitchers Dick Drott, Chicago; Ken Johnson, Cincinnati;
*Dick Farrell and Jim Golden, Los Angeles; Paul Roof, Milwaukee; Jesse

Majors' Attendance Off Despite Expansion

DESPITE
the majors dipped sharply in

in the American League, attendance in


1961 from the previous year's total. The

two

circuits attracted 18,894,518 paid for the regular season as against


This represented an over-all decline of five per cent.

contrast to '60, when five clubs set all-time season attendance records,

In
not a single season gate mark was broken.
The National League experienced the biggest decrease. From an all-time
high of 10,684,963 in 1960, the senior circuit skidded to 8,731,502 a drop of
18 per cent.
Only the champion Cincinnati Reds showed a gain. Nearly
doubling their draw of a year earlier, the Reds played to 1,117,603, only 8,325
short of the club record set in '56.
Except for the new Minnesota Twins and Los Angeles Angels, the American League would have faced a ten per cent decline from its 1960 total.
However, with the Twins attracting 1,256,723 at home and the Angels 603,510,
the A. L. gate totaled 10,163,016 as against the eight-club aggregate of
Two clubs Detroit and New York registered increases.
9,226,526 for '60.
The sharpest drop in either league occurred at Pittsburgh, where the
Pirate gate was off 506,700 from the record 1960 figure. The Los Angeles
Dodgers, despite a drop of nearly 450,000, again led both loops with 1,804,250.
In the minors, the 22 leagues comprising the National Association attracted
10,108,986, including all-star, playoff and inter-league games.
The Mexico
City Reds of the Mexican League led with 285,301.

Nationals

Won, Tied

in All-Star Contests

National League combined to steal the


program. For the third straight year,
the
elements played a prominent role in
two contests were played, and
both as each produced an unprecedented finish. In the first game,
played at San Francisco, July 11, a near gale contributed to a wild 'climax
as the National League came froni behind in the tenth inning to win, 5 to 4.
The second game, at Boston, July 31, ended in a 1 to 1 stalemate when a
heavy downpour stopped play after nine innings.
Numerous firsts were registered in the two affairs. The San Francisco
clash marked the first time either loop had pulled a game from the fire
in overtime. It also gave the National League a perfect 3-0 record in extrainning All-star contests. The Boston engagement represented the lone tie
in the 31-game series and only the second game to be halted by rain.
By winning the spectacle at San Francisco, the Nationals made it ten vicHowever, the American League still held
tories in the last 14 decisions.
the edge in All-Star play by a slim 16-14 margin.
Continuing a practice begun in 1958, the managers, coaches and players
of the two leagues again selected their circuit's starting lineup, exclusive of
the pitcher. The only restriction was that no player could vote for a member
of his own club. Top vote-getters were Norm Cash of Detroit with 235 and
Roger Maris, Yankees, 233, in the American League and Frank Boiling of
Milwaukee, 183, in the National.
The managers of the two teams picked the remaining players. Each was
limited to a 25-man squad for the first game. For the second, both were permitted to add three additional performers and also make any desired changes
in their pitching staffs.
With the pennant-winning Yankees having released Casey Stengel following the 1960 season, Paul Richards, manager of the runner-up Orioles, was
named to pilot the American League team. Danny Murtaugh of the champion Pirates led the N. L. squad. Manager Mickey Vernon of Washington
and Coach Frank Crosetti of the Yankees served as Richards' aids in the
first game and Manager Mike Higgins of Boston and Coach Jimmy Adair of
Baltimore in the second. Murtaugh chose Managers Al Dark of San Francisco
and Gene Mauch of Philadelphia to assist him at Candlestick Park, while
Manager Chuck Dressen of Milwaukee and Head Coach Elvin Tappe of the
Cubs aided him at Boston.
The San Francisco contest had a little bit of everything brilliant pitching, home runs, sparkling base-running and, in the late innings, a windstorm that will remain legendary. It was the daddy of "typhoons" at Candlestick Park, famed for its gale-like winds.
The strong air currents were largely responsible for the All-Star record
of seven errors. Five of these were made by the winning Nationals. Ken
Boyer, the Cardinals' brilliant third baseman, was guilty of two of the worst
miscues. One allowed the tying A. L. run to score in the ninth inning. The
other permitted Nellie Fox to score all the way from first base with the
A. L.'s tie-breaking run in the tenth.
The capacity crowd of 44,115 biggest in San Francisco history also saw
the unusual spectacle of the wind literally blowing Stu Miller, Giants' relief
ace, off the mound for a costly balk. The big turnout provided net receipts
of $259,230.81, of which 60 per cent went to the players' pension fund.
Most of the action was packed into the ninth and tenth innings. Great
pitching handcuffed the Americans until the ninth. Warren Spahn of Milwaukee started off with three hitless innings, Cincinnati's Bob Purkey followed with two perfect rounds and Mike McCormick of the Giants yieldeu
just one hit a homer to Minnesota's Harmon Killebrew during his three
frames.
Meanwhile, the Nationals scored three times. A triple by Roberto
Clemente of Pittsburgh and a sacrifice fly by the Cards' Bill White produced
a run off Whitey Ford, Yankee ace, in the second inning. Detroit's Frank
Lary was on the mound in the fourth when Willie Mays of the Giants
reached second bare on an error by Tony Kubek, Yankee shortstop. Lary,
bothered by an inflamed tendon in his pitching shoulder, then gave way to
of the weather and the

but he hobbled it. enabling Kaline to score the tying run. Miller eventually
got the side out but not before two more N. L. errors gave him a further
scare.

In the tenth Stu fanned the first two batters on butterfly curves before
walking Nellie Fox, White Sox keystoner, Kaline then bounced one to Boyer,
and when the Cardinal third sacker threw wildly past first base. Fox
raced all the way home to give the Americans a 4 to 3 lead.
Hoyt Wilhelm, Baltimore knuckleballer, was pitching when Hank Aaron
of Milwaukee opened the N. L. tenth with a single. A passed ball by Elston
Howard, Yankee catcher, enabled the runner to reach second. Mays then
bounced a double down the third base line, scoring Aaron with the tying
run. After Frank Robinson of Cincinnati was hit by a pitched ball, Clemente
broke up the game by singling to right-center to plate Mays with the winning run.
Besides the record San Francisco crowd which attended, millions of fans
heard the broadcast and saw the telecast of the game beamed by the National
Broadcasting Co. The Gillette Safety Razor Co. and the Chrysler Corp.
sponsored the radio and TV accounts. Jimmy Dudley and Jerry Doggett described the game on radio, while Mel Allen and Russ Hodges did the video
commentary.

FENWAY ENCORE BEST-PITCHED GAME OF ALL-STAR


Except for a misplayed grounder, the second 1961 Dream
Fenway Park, July 31, might have resulted in the first 1 to

SERIES

Game

at Boston's
decision in All-

Star history. As it was, the turnout of 31,851 was treated to the best-pitched
in the long mid-summer series.
Luis Aparicio, the White Sox' classy shortstop, was guilty of the mental
lapse which helped the Nationals to their lone run and led to the 1-all tie.
Ironically, a moment later he made a great play which proved a game-saver
for the Americans.
The error in judgment occurred in the sixth inning. At the time the
American League squad was leading, 1 to 0, as the result of a first-inning
homer by Detroit's Rocky Colavito off Bob Purkey, Cincinnati righthander.
The blow was the A. L.'s lone hit off Purkey and Art Mahaffey of the Phillies
during the first four innings.
Jim Bunning of Detroit started for the junior circuit and worked three
hitless innings. Don Schwall, rookie Red Sox hurler, succeeded him and was
on the mound in the sixth when the N. L. tied the score. With one gone he
ivalked Milwaukee's Eddie Mathews on four pitches. After retiring Willie
Mays of the Giants, Schwall got two strikes on Orlando Cepeda before nicking
the San Francisco slugger with a pitched ball.
Schwall also had two strikes on Eddie Kasko when the Cincinnati shortstop

Bill White of the Cardinals, next up, slapped a sharp grounder back toward
;he box.
Schwall barely got his glove on the ball and it went on through.
Dashing over behind second, Aparicio made a great stop. Mathews scored
'rom third on the hit, but Aparicio's play forced Cepeda to hold up at third.
The inning finally ended when Frank Boiling of the Braves flied to Colavito

Schwall, who gave up all five hits collected by the N. L., also had a tight
;queeze in the fifth. White led off that inning with a hit to center which
le hustled into a double when he caught Mickey Mantle, Yankee center fielder,
:lat-footed.
An infield out moved White to third, but in this emergency
Schwall struck out John Roseboro of the Dodgers and Pinch-Hitter Stan Musial

With the skies turning dark, the lights were turned on at the start of the
leventh inning. Camilo Pascual of Minnesota took the mound for the A. L.

The San Francisco fireman pitched a perfect seventh and eighth, but in

vVith one gone, he stole second, putting the potential winning run in scoring
position. However, Miller fanned the Yankees' Elston Howard and Pinch-Hitter

KRAUSSE FIRED SHUTOUT IN PRO BOW BEFORE 25,869


Lew

Krausse, Jr., 18-year-old Kansas City pitcher, turned in the 1961|


most spectacular major league debut. Early in June, following
graduation from Chester (Pa.) High School, the young righthander signed'
with the A's for a reported bonus of $125,000. His father, himself a former
major league pitcher, was a member of the Athletics' scouting staff. Young
Krausse's debut came the night of June 16 at Kansas City's Municipal Stadium.
A crowd of 25,869 was attracted by the announcement that he would start.
Facing Los Angeles, the six-foot, 175-pound newcomer set the Angels down
on three hits, all singles, 4 to 0. He struck out six, walked five and collected
two hits himself. In his next outing a week later, Krausse extended his
scoreless string to 15 innings before Boston's Gary Geiger tagged him f9r
a three-run homer in the seventh frame. The Red Sox proceeded to pin
Krausse with a 5 to 4 loss.

The record-equalling pyrotechnics climaxed what started out to be a
distressing series for Mays. Besides going hitless in three trips during Spahn s

However, he felt alright the following morning and went to the park.

drives and suggested that Willie try his bat. Finding it to his liking, Mays

in the on-deck circle when Jimmy Davenport grounded out to end the game.
Only 13,114 were on hand at Milwaukee County Stadium for the memorable Sunday contest, but millions witnessed Mays' remarkable sock show on
the coast-to-coast telecast of the game.
In addition to Mays' volley, the Giants walloped four other homers that
day two by Jose Pagan and one each by Felipe Alou and Orlando Cepeda.
The Giants' eight circuit smashes tied a major league record.
The box score of Mays' record-tying home-run performance follows:

Gentile's Five

Grand-Slams Matched Mark

by Baltimore's Jim

major league sluggers blasted a record

Gentile,

grand-slam home runs in 1961. Gentile socked five of the bases-loaded


four-baggers, matching the Big Time mark set by Ernie Banks of the
Chicago Cubs in 1955. The American League, with ten clubs and a lengthened schedule, accounted for 48 jackpot blows to 29 for the National.
The two-league total exceeded by nine the old high of 68, compiled
in 1950. With 48, the American League easily surpassed its previous mark of
37 set in 1938. The National total was six under the circuit's record of 35.
Gentile easily stole the grand-slam show. Besides tying Banks' mark,
the Baltimore first baseman created two records by walloping a pair in consecutive innings at Metropolitan Stadium, home of the Minnesota Twins,
May 9. In the first inning Gentile connected off Pedro Ramos, and then he
repeated against Paul Giel in the second, sparking a 13 to 5 rout. He thus
became the first player in major league history to hit two grand-slams in
consecutive at-bats and the first to drive in eight runs in successive innings.
Gentile hit his third grand-slam off Phil Regan to beat Detroit, 6 to 3,
July 2. Five days later he duplicated against Kansas City's Ed Rakow in
a pinch-hitting role, again in Baltimore. Gentile's fifth grand-slam came
at Chicago off Reliever Don Larsen in the Orioles' 157th game to highlight
an 8 to 6 triumph. Ironically, the Baltimore pitcher in all five games was
Chuck Estrada, who, curiously, also was the beneficiary of Gentile's only
previous major league grand-slammer on June 26, 1960.

Len Green's 24-Game Skein Best

of

Year

GREEN, outfielder
LENNIE
longest 1961 hitting streak.

of the Minnesota Twins, fashioned the majors'


Starting on May 1, the lefty-hitting flyhawk connected in 24 consecutive games before being stopped in the opener of a
Memorial Day double-header with Cleveland. During his skein, Green
collected 34 hits in 9-^ at-bats for a .362 gait.
Only two other players put together hitting skeins of 20 or more games.
Both of them also were American leaguers Al Kaline, Detroit outfielder,
and John Romano, Cleveland catcher. Each had a 22-game splurge. Romano's
was the more spectacular. He batted a resounding .446 with 37 hits in 83
swings, including eight homers, and drove in 27 runs during the skein.
The longest streak by a National leaguer was 19 games by Frank Robinson
of Cincinnati. Only one player Mickey Mantle enjoyed more than one
hitting streak of 15 or more games. The New York star had a string of
16 and another of 15. Other long skeins included: 19 games Roy Sievers, White
Sox; Johnny Temple, Cleveland, and Tony Kubek, Yankees; 17 games Gene
Woodling, Washington; 16 games Lee Thomas, Angels; Luis Aparicio, White
Sox; Brooks Robinson, Baltimore; Ron Fairly, Dodgers, and Bill Mazeroski,
Pittsburgh; 15 games Frank Boiling, Eddie Mathews and Frank Thomas, Milwaukee; Lee Walls, Philadelphia; Ken Boyer, St. Louis; Orlando Cepeda, San

Francisco, and Rocky Colavito, Detroit.


The feat of collecting five hits in a

game was achieved by 17 players,


with Roberto Clemente and Orlando Cepeda turning the trick twice. No one
matched the record of six safeties in a game. Lee Thomas, rookie first baseman-outfielder of the Angels, followed a 5-for-5 performance in the opener
of a September 5 double-header at Kansas City with a 4-for-6 effort in the
second game, giving him a record-tying nine hits for the twin-bill.

300-Game Winner Spahn

SPENDING 15 years in the majors before pitching a no-hitter,


AFTER
Southpaw Warren Spahn of Milwaukee threatened to make a habit of

The Braves' mound marvel hurled two gems in successive seasons.


His second came in a 1 to
victory over the hard-hitting San Francisco
Giants at Milwaukee County Stadium, April 28, 1961. It was the majors' only
no-hit game of the year.
In nearly every respect, Spahn's second masterpiece represented an even
greater feat than his first, a 4 to
conquest of the Philadelphia Phillies the
previous September 16. In the Giants, he faced one of the National League's
heaviest slugging crews. Not only did he mow them down without a hit,
but he faced only 27 batters. Two walks kept him from a perfect game.
The no-hitter occurred just five days after Spahn observed his fortieth
birthday. This made him the second oldest pitcher ever to author a no-hit
game in the majors. Only Cy Young was older at 41.
"It was so easy it was pathetic," commented Spahn. "Everything went
my way and they kept guessing wrong. But let's face it: I was just plain
lucky. I walked a man to start an inning a cardinal sin with a one-run
lead not once, but twice, and got away with it."
The two passes both on four pitches went to Chuck Hiller in the
fourth inning and Willie McCovey in the fifth. After each, Spahn personally
cleaned the bases by starting double plays. Harvey Kuenn hit into the first
and Orlando Cepeda into the second.
Spahn had his closest call in the ninth inning. To begin. Catcher Charlie
Lau dropped Ed Bailey's foul fly. Fortunately, Bailey then struck out. It was
on the next play that the Giants almost ruined the no-hitter. Pinch-Hitter
Matty Alou laid an almost perfect bunt down the first base line. In a do-ordie play, Spahn picked up the ball and in one sweeping motion tossed it
backhanded to First Baseman Joe Adcock, retiring the fleet Alou by one
step. Joe Amalfitano then grounded out to end the game.
Even with his no -hitter, the Braves' fabulous lefty might have had to
work overtime but for a defensive slip by Bailey, who had been obtained
from Cincinnati only the day before. Sam Jones pitched five-hit ball for
the Giants and fanned ten, but Bailey's passed ball beat him. With one out
in the first inning, Frank Boiling singled. He took second on the passed
ball, and scored on Hank Aaron's single. This was the game's lone run, but
for the skimpy Friday night crowd of 8,518 fans who braved chilly, 44-degree
weather, the big excitement was to follow.
For Spahn, the no-hitter marked another step in his successful climb
to an even more coveted goal the elite 300-victory class. The amazing 40year old lefthander achieved that exclusive rating when he defeated the
Chicago Cubs on a six-hitter, 2 to 1, at County Stadium, August 11. A crowd
of 40,795 was on hand to see him gain the lifetime 300-victory circle on his
first try. He thus became only the thirteenth pitcher in major league history
to reach that total. He won nine more games before the season ended.
The box score of Spahn's no -hitter against the Giants follows:

Fame on Lone

Nine Missed No-Hit

Safety

PITCHERS missed out on joining Warren Spahn in the no-hit ranks


NINE
in 1961 by the margin of a lone safety. They included Frank Lary, Detroit's

23-game winner; Joey Jay of Cincinnati, who tied Spahn as the National
League's leading winner; Dick Donovan of Washington, the American
League earned-run leader, and Art Mahaffey, loser of 19 games for Philadelphia.
Lary's brush with fame came in his opening appearance of the season,
April 14. A scratch single by Jim Landis in the fifth inning was the lone
safety garnered by the Chicago White Sox as Lary prevailed, 7 to 0. Shortstop Chico Fernandez went far to his right on Landis' tap, but the ball bounced
off his glove for a hit.

Jay likewise gained his first victory with a one-hitter. However, he already had lost three times before his near-miss against Philadelphia, May 4.
Johnny Callison, the Phillies' second batter of the game, singled for the lone
breeze. Only one other Phil reached base Ruben
hit off Jay in his 4 to
Amaro on a walk in the third. With the help of a double play, Jay faced

mere

28 batters,

homer wrecked Donovan's bid for a no-hitter as well


as a shutout, September 24. Joe Altobelli rapped the four-bagger with one
away in the seventh, but Donovan emerged a 4 to 1 victor over the Minnesota
seventh-inning

Twins.

Mahaffey was something of an enigma. After winning six of his first


nine decisions, he lost 14 of the next 15, including ten in a row. The 23year-old righthander finally ended his string of defeats by handcuffing the
Chicago Cubs on one hit, 6 to 0, August 22. Ron Santo, second batter of the
game, singled for the lone bingle off Mahaffey, who faced only 29 batters.
Just two days earlier, in their last previous game, the Phillies had ended
a record 23-game losing streak by beating Milwaukee, 7 to 4.
Of the other one-hitters, the most significant was that by Joe Gibbon,
Pittsburgh portsider. When he turned back the Los Angeles Dodgers, 8 to 0,
in the windup of a twi-night twin-bill on September 26, he applied the
mathematical clincher to Cincinnati's pennant. Bob Aspromonte, a pinchhitter, singled in the sixth frame for the lone Dodger hit.
Next to Spahn, Al Schroll of Minnesota made probably the closest approach to a no-hitter. He held Cleveland hitless until the ninth inning, September 27, but then gave up a single, two walks and a triple for four runs
and had

to settle for a 10 to 4 victory.

Pappas, Baltimore righthander, showed the way in two-hit performances with three such efforts. Four others hurled a pair Dick Hall. Baltimore; Camilo Pascual, Minnesota; Sandy Koufax, Dodgers, and Spahn. Both
of Koufax' two-hitters came against Chicago, and on each occasion the Cubs
got their safeties in the seventh and ninth innings. Spahn also hurled his
second two-hitter against the Cubs, September 24, with Billy Williams being
the only Chicago player who could solve his slants.
A complete list of the nine one-hit and 30 two-hit games pitched in the
majors in 1961, with the names of the "spoilers," follows:

IN 17-WHIFF EFFORTS

pitchers came within one of the modern major league record of 18


strikeouts in a game in 1961. They were Art Mahaffey of the Philadelphia
Phillies and Bill Monbouquette of the Boston Red Sox. Mahaffey turned the
trick in the second game of a Sunday double-header at Philadelphia, April 23,
victory. He
when he fanned 17 Chicago Cubs en route to a four-hit, 6 to
whiffed the side twice and had at least one strikeout in every inning. Monbouquette's 17-strikeout performance came in a game at Washington, May 12,
and set an American League mark for most whiffs in a night contest. The
Red Sox righthander won, 2 to 1. He had a four-hit shutout going into the
ninth inning, but an error, a walk and a single by Billy _Klaus gave the
Senators their run.

Mathews sacrificed and Hank Aaron was walked intentionally, Joe
Adcock doubled to score Mantilla, ending the game)
*Shore's performance is classified as a perfect game even though he did
not start the game. Babe Ruth, Boston's starting pitcher, was removed by Umpire Brick Owens after giving a base on balls to Ray Morgan, the first batter.
Shore, without warming up, took Ruth's place. Morgan was retired trying to
steal second. From then on. Shore faced 26 batters, with none reaching base.

Majors Invested Record $680,000 in Draft


league clubs gambled a record amount of money in the 1961
MAJOR
player draft. Picking 35 performersthe largest draft haul in 47 years

20 Big Time teams invested $680,000 in the annual grab-bag.


Fifteen of the players selected were youngsters coming under the firstyear player rule, while four others were taken in a special drawing by the
National League's new Houston and New York clubs.
The draft meeting was held in Tampa, Fla., November 27, in conjunction with the annual National Association convention. Later the same day
the minors conducted their selection sessions, during which 26 additional
players gained promotion through this medium.
The Minnesota Twins, Los Angeles Angels and Cleveland Indians made
the most purchases, four each. All four of the Twins' picks were from the
regular draft list, where the price was $25,000. One of the Angels' choices
came from among the first-year kids, who carried a $12,000 price tag, while
the Indians took three first-year players.
First crack at the talent pot went to the American League's last-place
club. Since Washington and Kansas City had tied for the cellar, a toss of
the coin determined priority and the Senators won the flip. In opening the
draft. General Manager Ed Doherty of Washington selected Ken Hamlin, 25year-old shortstop, from Toronto (International).
Following completion of the regular draft, first-year player selections
were made. This round of picking produced the most unusual development
when the Chicago White Sox claimed First Baseman-Outfielder Steve Selsky,
a youngster who had never played an O. B. game, from the Los Angeles
Dodgers' Spokane (Pacific Coast) club. Selsky was one of seven new
Dodger prospects declared draft eligible by Commissioner Ford Frick for
being used on a Dodger-sponsored rookie team.
At the conclusion of the first-year player round, the new Houston Colts
and New York Mets were permitted two drafts each in accordance with a
ruling handed down by Frick a year earlier.
The complete list of players drafted by major league clubs follows, with
an asterisk in parentheses indicating a first-year player:
American League: Baltimore Pitcher Billy Short from Richmond, Infielder-Catcher Ossie Virgil from Portland and Pitcher Steve Cosgrove (*)

Francisco Pitcher Dick Holden (*) from Vancouver.
In the minor league draft, the Houston Colt and San Francisco Giant
organizations were the most active. Each claimed six players out of the
total of 26. The 26 selections represented an investment of $192,500.
Syracuse (International) had first pick in the minors' sessions and chose
Infielder-Outfielder Rod Kanehl from Nashville (Southern) in the regular
draft and Pitcher Jim Merritt from Atlanta in the first-year selections.

in the game's flesh marts.
League having ten clubs in operation all year and the National's two
new entries joining in the talent shuffle at the close of the season, 1961
proved a David Harum's delight. From the standpoint of player trades, the
year ranked as possibly the busiest in diamond history.
Both of the junior circuit's two new clubs, the Los Angeles Angels and
Washington Senators, figured in numerous transactions, particularly the
Angels. Fred Haney, L. A. general manager, negotiated five swaps involving

New York

moved

into the trading picture.


By far the most active club in player dealings, however, was the Kansas
City Athletics. Owner Charles Finley's appointment of Frank Lane as general manager early in the year almost automatically guaranteed that the
A's would do plenty of dealing. But even after Finley's dismissal of Lane,
August 22, the Athletics continued to juggle their roster. Despite all of the
maneuvering Kansas Cit.y wound up in a last-place tie with Washington.
For the year, Kansas City showed 11 multiple-player transactions with
other Big Time clubs. In all, 43 athletes changed uniforms in the swaps
one player, Clint Courtney, twice as part of the same deal. The A's also made
cash purchases of three players.
Lane and the A's were involved in the year's two biggest trades. On
January 24, just three weeks after he was hired. Lane turned a three-for-five
exchange with Baltimore. All of the players were lesser lights. It eventually
became a two-for-four affair when the Athletics, who still owed a player,
returned Courtney to the Orioles to complete the deal.

An

eight-player transaction that included some bigger names was comby the A's and White Sox, June 10. In it Kansas City sent Pitchers
Ray Herbert and Don Larsen, Third Baseman Andy Carey and Outfielder
Al Pilarcik to Chicago in exchange for Pitchers Bob Shaw and Gerry Staley
and Outfielders Wes Covington and Stan Johnson.
As if to prove Lane had no patent on trading, Finley and his new Kanpleted

sas City general manager, Pat Friday, arranged a five-player deal with Milwaukee, December 15, the final day of the inter-league trading period. Shipping Shaw and Infielder Lou Klimchock to the Braves, the A's received
Catcher Joe Azcue, Infielder Ed Charles and Outfielder Manuel Jimenez.
The third annual no-waivers, inter-league swapping session, November
21-December 15, produced a flurry of activity although few deals of great
consequence materialized. In all, there were 14 inter-league transactions

affecting 40 players.
Ed Short, newly-appointed Chicago White Sox general manager, figured
in four of these swaps. Seeking to replace some of the Pale Hose's veterans
with younger players, Short sent Outfielder Minnie Minoso to St. Louis in
return for First Baseman Joe Cunningham, traded First Baseman Roy Sievers
to Philadelphia for Pitcher John Buzhardt and Infielder Charlie Smith,
shipped Pitchers Billy Pierce and Don Larsen to San Francisco in exchange
for First Baseman Bob Farley, Pitchers Eddie Fisher and Dom Zanni and a

Other prominent major leaguers who were dealt off during the year
included Robin Roberts, former Phillie pitching ace who was sold to the
Yankees for a reported $25,000 in October after a dismal 1-10 season; Catcher
Ed Bailey, Pitchers Bud Daley and Dick Farrell, Second Basemen Johnny
Temple, Don Blasingame and Charley Neal and Outfielders Jim Piersall and

Association of America. Four days later the Committee on Veterans named
McKechnie and Roush. Addition of the four increased to 90 the number

Y.,

enshrined.
After failing in their last two biennial elections, the writers succeeded
in voting in both Feller and Robinson in their first year as candidates. Under
Hall of Fame rules, a player must be retired five years before being eligible.
Feller and Robinson each completed his career in 1956.
Feller breezed in while Robinson just squeezed in. Ballots providing for
ten nominations were cast by 160 ten-year members of the BBWAA. With
nomination on 75 per cent or 120 of the ballots necessary for election,
Feller received 150 votes. Robinson, on the other hand, drew 124.
Even before they retired, both were regarded as certain to gain niches
in the Cooperstown shrine, particularly Feller. In his 18 seasons with Cleveland, he won 266 games while losing 162, equalled the record of three no-hit
games and established numerous strikeout records. Except for four seasons
in the Navy during World War II at the height of his career, he certainly
would have reached the exclusive 300-victory ranks.

earned the reputation of being a great clutch performer. During his ten
seasons with the Brooklyn Dodgers, he compiled a .311 batting average. He
won both the league batting title and Most Valuable Player award in 1949
and played a prominent role in six Dodger pennants.
Finishing third in the
poll was Edgar (Sam) Rice, veteran former
Washington outfielder. He received 81 votes, falling 39 short of the required
total. Red Ruffing, one-time Boston Red Sox and New York Yankee mound
ace, finished fourth with 72 votes. He was followed by Eppa Rixey, 49; Luke
Appling, 48; Phil Rizzuto, 44; Burleigh Grimes, 43; Hack Wilson, 39; Joe
Medwick, 34; Kiki Cuyler, 31; Red Faber, 30, and Jim Bottomley and Lefty
Gomez, 20 each.
The Committee on Veterans, empowered to conduct an annual election
starting in 1961, gave unanimous support to McKechnie and Roush in its '62
voting. For Roush, it marked the first time he came under the jurisdiction
of the Veterans Committee after having been a candidate previously in the

BBWAA

writers' polls.

McKechnie, who led three different National League clubs to pennants,


was the eighth Hall of Famer chosen for his managerial skill. The others
were Clark Griffith, whose pitching abilities also figured in his selection;
John McGraw, Connie Mack, Joe McCarthy, George Wright, Albert Spalding
and Ed Barrow.
McKechnie gained his first pennant in 1925 with the Pittsburgh Pirates
and followed it by winning the World's Series from Washington that fall. In
1928 he piloted the St. Louis Cardinals to the flag but lost to the New York
Yankees in the Series. The Deacon, as McKechnie was known, then led the
Cincinnati Reds to successive pennants in 1939-40, losing to the Yankees
again in the '39 classic but winning from Detroit the next year.
Roush was one of the National League's finest center fielders during
his 15 years with Cincinnati and the New York Giants. In addition, he
ranked among the circuit's top hitters.

In the annual Hall of Fame festivities at Cooperstown, July 24, 1961,
Max Carey and the late Billy Hamilton were inducted into the diamond
Pantheon. Both had been named earlier in the year by the Committee on
Veterans.
A capacity crowd of 9,787 turned out at Doubleday Field that afternoon
to see the Los Angeles Dodgers and Baltimore Orioles meet in the traditional
Hall of Fame exhibition. The Dodgers won, 6 to 2, to give the National League
a 10-9 edge in the series. One other game ended in a tie.
At the annual meeting the day before the ceremonies, Paul S. Kerr was
re-elected president of the Hall of Fame. Rowan D. Spraker and Dr. James
Bordley III were named vice-presidents, Edward W. Stack was elected
secretary and Howard C. Talbot, Jr., treasurer.
Following is the list of those named to the Hall of Fame prior to 1962, with
the vote by which each was elected in parentheses:

MARK WITH

FOUR-HIT DEBUT

Outfielder Mack (The Knife) Jones made an auspicious major league


debut with the Milwaukee Braves, July 13, 1961, ripping off four consecutive
hits to equal a modern National League record. The fleet flyhawk, called up
from Louisville (American Association), joined the Braves in St. Louis and
helped the club to a 6 to 3 victory over the Cardinals. Jones connected for
a double and three singles, getting two hits each off Bob Gibson and Bob
Miller, before Rookie Craig Anderson stopped him on his fifth and last
plate appearance of the night. The N. L. record of four hits in a player's
Big Time debut was set by Casey Stengel with Brooklyn in 1912 and equalled

by Willie McCovey of San Francisco

in 1959.

GRIM REAPER

exacted another heavy toll of diamond personages


Most notable among the former performers called out by the
Great Umpire were Tyrus Raymond Cobb, generally regarded as the
game's greatest performer, and Arthur (Dazzy) Vance, another Hall of
Fame immortal. Two prominent executives Powel Crosley, Jr., and Branch
Rickey, Jr. headed the list of those summoned from the active ranks.
Cobb, 12-time American League batting champion, succumbed of cancer
He was 74. The
in Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, Ga., July 17.
famed Georgia Peach had been ill for more than a year and had been confined to the hospital since June 5.
During his 24-year stay in the Big Time, Cobb compiled an incredible
highest in history and topped the .400 mark
.367 lifetime batting average
three times. He entered more records into the books than probably any other
player and rated second only to Babe Ruth as the game's most colorful
drawing card. Among Ty's more prominent marks were his 12 batting titles,
3,033 games, 4,191 hits and 5,863 total bases.
Cobb, who became a multi-millionaire, spent all but the last two years
of his major league career with Detroit. In 1921 he was named player-manager of the Tigers. Dismissed after the '26 season, he was signed as a player
by Connie Mack the following year. He closed out his brilliant career by
batting .323 for the A's in 1928 at the age of 41. In 1936 Cobb headed the
original list of five players voted into the Hall of Fame.
Vance, named to the Cooperstown shrine in 1955, died at Homosassa
Springs, Fla., February 16, at the age of 70.
He was one of the game's
all-time strikeout aces, leading the National League for seven straight years,
1922-28.
His greatest season was 1924 when he posted a 28-6 record for
Brooklyn, leading the loop in victories, strikeouts, 262, and earned-run
average, 2.16, to gain the Most Valuable Player award.
Other former stars who passed away during the year included William
(Dummy) Hoy, deaf-mute outfielder who lived to be 99, older than any
former major leaguer; Jack Barry, star shortstop on Connie Mack's famed
"$100,000 infield"; Ed Reulbach, National League mound great; Jess Barnes,
another N. L. pitching star, and Lynwood (Schoolboy) Rowe, former De-

The game's executive ranks also were hard hit. Powel Crosley, Jr.,
nationally-known industrialist and owner of the Cincinnati Reds since 1934,
died on March 28 at the age of 74 and missed seeing his club regain the pennant heights. Branch Rickey, Jr., vice-president and farm boss of the Pittsburgh Pirates, succumbed less than two weeks later, April 10. He was 47.

Big Year for Reds Farms Won Four Flags


for the outcome of the World's Series, the 1961 season was a
EXCEPT
smashing success for the Cincinnati Reds. Besides winning the National
flag, the Reds saw four of their six minor league affiliates capture pennants to lead all farm systems. Pittsburgh and San Francisco
each had three minor loop flag winners to rank next.
The Reds' champions were Indianapolis (American Association), Topeka
(Three I), Tampa (Florida State) and Geneva (NYP). Tampa gained the
title in a split-season playoff after winning the first-half race and leading
in the over-all season standing.
Like Cincinnati, the Pirates could claim four minor league championships. In addition to the flags won by Columbus (International), Asheville
(Sally) and Hobbs (Sophomore), the Bucs' Shelby affiliate annexed the Western Carolina playoff crown following a fourth-place finish. Altogether, N. L.
farm clubs won 14 regular-season flags to just six for A. L. teams.

Sweep

years of community ownership, the Buffalo


Junior World's Series. Kerby Farrell's International League club accomplished the feat by the simple expedient of
a four-game sweep over the Louisville Colonels, American Association
standard bearers. The Colonels had won the minor league classic a year

For Farrell, the surprising sweep represented the high


spot of a 17-year managerial career and helped him win The Sporting New^s'
No. 1 Minor League Manager of the Year award for the third time. No
other pilot could match his boast of winning the Junior Series for both
leagues. In 1956, Kerby's Indianapolis club won in four games from Rochester.

As a result of early-season pitching troubles and a string of injuries,


the Bisons didn't reach their peak until late in August. They wound up in
third place, six games back of champion Columbus. But the club got red
hot in the playoffs, polishing off Charleston in four games and Rochester
in five.

In reaching the Junior Series for the second successive year, Louisville
again finished second in the A. A. race. A year earlier an ulcer attack
forced Manager Ben Geraghty to relinquish the reiHS early in May and miss
out of their JWS title, but this time he led the Colonels all the way. As it
turned out, the rout at the hands of Buffalo was enough to cause his ulcer

up again.

After Lefty Bill Smith handcuffed Louisville on five hits, 2 to 0, in the
second game, Sadowski's bat led the Bisons to another victory in the third
game. With the Colonels leading, 5 to 3, in the eighth inning, Sadowski
cracked a three-run homer to win the contest, 6 to 5.
The classic switched to Louisville for game No. 4, and young Paul Brown
polished off the A. A. club with a sparkling one-hitter, 4 to 0. A scratch
single by Lee Tate in the third inning was the lone hit off the Bison rookie
as he wrapped it up. Brown walked five and struck out four.
Because of poor playoff attendance in the A. A., it was agreed to play
the first three JWS games at Buffalo. The decision proved a wise one, since
the three contests at War Memorial Stadium drew 34,918 paid as compared
to only 2,544 paid for the final contest at Louisville for a total of 37,462.
Net receipts, including radio rights, came to $65,471.91. Each Buffalo player
voted a full share received $994.08, while each Louisville full share was

worth $691.53.

BRAVES HIT FOUR HOMERS IN ROW, YET LOST GAME


The Milwaukee Braves set a major league record with four consecutive
runs, June 8. 1961, yet Manager Chuck Dressen had plenty to moan
about. Despite the unprecedented barrage plus two additional round-trippers,

home

the Braves lost a 10 to 8 decision at Cincinnati's Crosley Field that afternoon.


The long-distance carnival occurred in the seventh inning after the Reds
had built up a 10 to 2 lead. Frank Boiling opened the frame with a single.
When Ed Mathews and Hank Aaron followed with back-to-back homers, the
Reds' starting pitcher, Jim Maloney, was yanked in favor of Lefty Marshall
Bridges. Joe Adcock greeted him with a four-bagger and Frank Thomas,
next up, also connected for the circuit. Bridges then settled down to retire
the side. Mathews homered again in the eighth off Bill Henry, while earlier
in the game Warren Spahn, Milwaukee's starter and loser, also hit for the
circuit.
The old mark of three successive homers by a team had been
equalled many times.

reigned as 1961 champions of the Pan-American


Texas League domination of the inter-league
classic, San Antonio won the third annual Pan-American Series by
downing the Mexican League's pennant-winning Veracruz Eagles, four
games to two. The Missions thus duplicated Austin's triumph in 1959 and

the two Double-A circuits had engaged in an inter -locking
schedule and inter-league all-star games, as well as the post-season series.
However, shortly after the '61 campaign ended, the two leagues voted to
terminate the Pan-American Association arrangement.
By capturing the Pan-Am title, San Antonio capped a spectacular late
surge. The Missions, operating under the parent Chicago Cubs' system of
rotating head coaches, finished a bad third during the Texas League season,

Walker's crew then earned the designation of league co-champion and


a berth in the Pan-Am Series by roaring to the playoff title. After downing
runner-up Tulsa in the opening round, three games to one, the Missions
knocked off Austin three straight in the playoff finals.
By contrast, Santos Amaro's Veracruz club finished on top in the Mexican
League by a four-game margin over runner-up Puebla.
Despite winning the opening game, Veracruz was no match for San Antonio in the Pan-Am Series. Ramon Arano, 21-year-old righthander, was the
only hurler able to beat the Missions. He did it twice. A 4 to 3 victor in the
lidlifter, he came back with a five-hit, 4 to 2 conquest in the fourth game.
San Antonio's big hero was Center Fielder Nelson Mathews. A disappointing .220 hitter in the regular season, Mathews sizzled throughout the
league playoffs and the Pam-Am set. Against Veracruz, he went 11 for 25,
with two homers and six runs batted in.
Originally, the two clubs agreed to nlay the entire set in San Antonio,
alternating as home team. Unfortunately, following Saturday and Sunday
contests there. Hurricane Carla struck the Texas coast early Monday morning, September 11. Two postponements and threats of further delay prompted transfer of the classic to Veracruz. When rain stopped their first clash
there, September 14, a day-night bill was booked the next day to speed completion of the Series.
Attendance for the six games totaled only 10,252 paid, -with net receipts
amounting to $6,623.48. The two clubs split the money equally.
During the regular season, each club visited the park of every team in
the rival circuit for three games. The two leagues also played a pair of Panall-star games. The Mexican League won both 8 to 3 before 13,644 fans
at Mexico City, July 15, and 12 to 3 before 3,850 at San Antonio, July 30.

MOUNTIES OFF TO RACES NINE THEFTS

IN

INNING

what ranks among the most brazen bits of thievery in diamond history,
the Vancouver Mounties stole nine bases in one inning while trimming the
Salt Lake Bees, 10 to 2, in a Pacific Coast League game at Vancouver, B. C,
August 11, 1961. A crowd of 5,105 fans witnessed the bold display of larceny,
which included a pair of triple thefts. Going into the eighth inning, the
Mounties owned only a 5 to 2 lead. Ted Abernathy had just relieved Starter
Steve Hamilton on the mound for Salt Lake City. With one out, Ed Charles
started the fireworks with a single and then stole second and third. A
walk to Billy Consolo, his theft of second and another pass to Howie Goss
filled the bases.
Abernathy, meantime, had retired Frank Torre. With
Denis Menke at bat, Abernathy made the mistake of winding up and
Charles swiped home on the front end of a three-way pilfer. Two more walks
forced in another run and brought Dave Tyriver to the hill. By this time,
Goss was on third. When Tyriver took a long windup on his second pitch
to Al Grandcolas, Goss purloined home. Menke and Eddie Haas also moved
up on the pitch to complete the second triple theft. Grandcolas then singled
both across for the Mounties final runs of the inning.
In

BEDELL'S 43-GAME HIT STREAK TIED A. A. RECORD


Hitting safely in 43 consecutive games, Outfielder Howie Bedell of LouisThe skein
tied a 26-year-old American Association record in 1961.
equalled the mark set by Eddie Marshall of Milwaukee in 1935. Bedell's
bid to crack the standard was snuffed out by a pair of Dallas-Fort Worth
lefties, Bob Sprout and Bob Wiesler, June 23.
Between them, they retired
Bedell five times. During the streak Bedell collected 67 hits in 197 swings
a .340 clip. Apparently headed for the loop batting title, he suffered a
chip fracture of the left shoulder, August 24. With Bedell on the sidelines,
Denver's Don Wert nosed him out for the batting championship, going
4-for-7 in a closing-day twin-bill, September 7, to edge Bedell by a point,
ville

.328 to .327.

SATCH PAIGE STILL DEALING EM UP AT AGE


Although

55

listed in the records as being at least 55 years of age, Leroy


Paige returned to O. B. late in the 1961 season and showed he
still possessed much of his mound wizardry.
Portland of the Pacific Coast
League signed the pitching Methuselah, August 24. In five starting appearances with the Beavers, Paige gave up 28 hits in 25 innings but didn't figure
in a decision and wound up with a 2.88 earned-run average.

RAMOS, MAXIE IN SUCCESSIVE GEMS AT POZA RICA


Two

consecutive no-hit, no-run games between the same two clubs

unprecedented in O. B. history added spice to 1961 PanAmerican Association competition between the Texas and Mexican leagues.
The rarity took place at Poza Rica, Ver., July 14-15. Principals were Roman
Ramos, 28-year-old Poza Rica righthander, and Larry Maxie, 20-year-old
Milwaukee-owned hurler with Austin. Ramos authored the first of the two
no-hitters. With a crowd of 6,800 looking on, he turned back Austin, 11 to 0.
The Poza Rica flinger struck out five batters and walked two. The next
afternoon Maxie completed the rare feat of successive gems by stopping the
Oilers, 5 to 0, before 5,000 fans. The six-foot-three, 220 pounder whiffed
five, walked six and hit another. The masterpiece marked Maxie's second
no-hitter of the season. The strapping young righthander previously had
a

feat possibly

stopped Victoria without a safety over the nine-inning distance, 2 to 0,


14. By tossing a pair of gem.s, Maxie equalled a 55-year-old Texas League
record. The only other Texas loop hurler to pitch two no-hitters in a season
was Alex Dupree, who turned the trick with the Fort Worth Cats in 1906.

HOMER TURNED INTO OUT, FREAK PLAY COST GAME


Confusion turned a legitimate home run into a single in an American
Association game at Fort Worth, Tex., August 20, 1961. The weird incident
cost the Dallas-Fort Worth Rangers the game. With Mickey Harrington on
first base in the fourth inning, Tom Burgess lined a pitch by Omaha's Bill
Sprout to deep right-center field. Bill Lajoie, Omaha center fielder, made a
desperate leap for the ball, crashed into the fence and fell in a heap. In
his attempt he obscured the flight of the ball. Seeing Umpire Lou Pryor
raise his hand, Harrington headed back toward first base and Burgess passed
him. The umpires finally ruled the drive cleared the fence for a homer
and Harrington scored. However, Burgess was ruled out for passing his
mate. As a consequence, instead of winning, 3 to 2, in regulation time, the
Rangers bowed in ten innings, 3 to 2.

HISTORIC FEATS HIGHLIGHTED MAJORS'

TO

GAMES

Twenty-eight games developed into 1 to


duels in the majors in 1961.
The American League produced 16 as compared to 12 in the National. Two of
the season's most historic events Warren Spahn's no-hitter and Roger Maris'
sixty-first home run figured among the squeakers.
The Milwaukee southpaw turned in his no-hit conquest against the San
Francisco Giants, April 28, while it was on closing day, October 1, that Maris
socked his record homer for the game's only run as the New York Yankees
edged Boston.
Four of the 1 to
games went extra innings. The longest was a 15-inning
battle at Cleveland, May 14, in which the Indians nipped Baltimore. In all
major league history, there were only eight longer 1 to
contests. Except
for a throwing error by Shortstop Jerry Adair, which let in the Cleveland run,
the game might have gone several innings more.
Six of the squeakers were won by home runs. In addition to Maris,
those who rapped homers to decide 1 to
games were Bobby Gene Smith.
Philadelphia, April 23; Ed Bouchee, Chicago Cubs, May 20; Tommy Davis, Los
Angeles Dodgers, May 25: Luis Aparicio, Chicago White Sox, August 11, and
Roberto Clemente, Pittsburgh, August 25.

KIRKLAND HIT FOUR HOMERS

ROWOVER

IN

DAYS

Willie Kirkland, Cleveland outfielder, equalled the major league record


of four home runs in as many official times at bat in 1961, although it took
him five days to turn the trick. He began the spree by tying another record
with three successive homers in a game, July 9. The splurge occurred in the
windup of a double-header against the Chicago White Sox at Cleveland Stadium. Following a three-day layoff because of the All-Star Game, the Indians returned to action against Minnesota, July 13, and Kirkland homered
again on his first official at-bat to make it four in a row. Five other
players walloped three round-trippers in a game in 1961. The first to do it
was Willie Mays of San Francisco, who earlier in the season tied the record
of four in a game (details on Page 135). The others were Bill White, St. Louis;
Rocky Colavito, Detroit; Lee Thomas, Los Angeles Angels, and Don Demeter.
Philadelphia. Like Kirkland, White socked his three in succession while
becoming the only player ever to hit a trio over the right field fence at
the Los Angeles Coliseum. The records of the six players in their three-

homer games:

DiCHIARA'S FOUR HOMERS IN

ROW

SET

NYP MARK

DiChiara, young Colgate University product, hit only 12 home runs


in his O. B. debut in 1961, but four of them came in successive

games

plate appearances to set a New York-Pensylvania League record. Signed


by the Pittsburgh organization, the 22-year-old first basemen was assigned
to Grand Forks (Northern) at the start of the 1961 season. DiChiara hit only
without a homer for Grand Forks before being shifted
.157 in 36 games
Less than two weeks after joining Batavia, the

lefthanded larruper exploded his record-breaking spree. It occurred in a
game against Jamestown at Batavia, June 25. DiChiara connected for the
circuit in the second, fourth, sixth and eighth innings. Unfortunately, only
one blow came with a mate aboard, and Jamestown won the slugfest, 14 to 9.
The only other player in NYP League history to hit four homers in a game
was Jack Littrell of Hornell in 1949, but his were not in consecutive plate

appearances.

SULPHUR DELL JINX WRECKED NO-HIT BID

IN

NINTH

Sulphur Dell, Nashville's ancient park, long has been regarded as a


jinx park by pitchers. As a result of its chummy confines, Southern Association hitters thrived there. But for eight and two-thirds innings, May 7,
1961, Southpaw Jim Bailey of Macon appeared destined to lick the Sulphur
Dell hex. With two gone in the ninth, he owned a no-hitter only to have
defeat. Needing
the apparently timeless jinx strike and hand him a 2 to
just one more out to complete the diminutive park's first nine-inning no-hit
hitter, line a
cleanup
Nashville
Bailey
Christian,
game in 45 years,
saw Joe
single past Second Baseman George Holder. Gene Davis, next up, then sliced
a waist-high curve over the chummy right field screen about 280 feet from
the plate to break up the game and shatter Bailey's dream completely.

WEATHERSPOON HIT

GRAND-SLAMS

IN

CAROLINA

Charles (Chuck) Weatherspoon, veteran outfielder-catcher, proved a real


batting terror with the bags full for Wilson of the Carolina League in 1961.
Although the 30-year-old Texan batted only .279 for the season, he walloped
seven grand-slam homers. Weatherspoon whacked five of his jackpot blows
before the season was one-third gone. On May 2, at Greensboro, N. C, he
socked two bases-loaded homers in successive innings a feat which Jim
Gentile of the Baltimore Orioles duplicated exactly a week later. Weatherspoon's raps came in the third and fourth innings. Charlie Payne was the
victim of both. The two blasts sparked Wilson to a 9 to 6 victory. Weatherspoon rapped grand-slam No. 5, June 2, and then had to wait until August 5
for his sixth. The Wilson slugger collected No. 7 against Winston-Salem.

(seven

HOMER

An

outfielder's noggin provided the added impetus for what ranked as


the 1961 campaign's most unusual home run. The weird incident took place
in a Western Carolina League game between Belmont and Newton-Conover,
June 7. Eddie Montellanico, 19-year-old right fielder, was the player who
used his head in the wrong way. The youngster was camped under a high
fly hit by Joe Abernethy, Newton-Conover manager, when he lost the drive
in the park lights. When the ball came down, it hit Montellanico on the
top of his noggin and bounced over the fence for a home run. The youngster
was knocked out briefly by the blow. However, he remained in the game,
which Belmont managed to win, 10 to 9, Montellanico came back strong
the following night, rapping five straight hits, including a double, to help
the Chiefs beat Newton-Conover again, 18 to 3.

CALIFORNIA RECORD

A pitcher who was about to be farmed out for more experience turned
his "one last chance" into a record-tying strikeout performance in the California League in 1961. The hurler was Ray Kendrick, 20-year-old lefthander
with Fresno. He had a dismal record of yielding 17 earned runs in 15 innings
before Manager Sal Taormina sent him against the Stockton Ports, May 18,
in his do-or-die opportunity. Kendrick responded by fanning 19 batters while
posting a six-hit, 12 to 3 victory. The 19 whiffs matched the California League
record set by Al Curtis of San Jose in 1951 and tied by Tex Clevenger, San
Jose, 1953; Steve Dalkowski, Stockton, 1960, and Gary Kroll, Bakersfield, 1960.
Kendrick succeeded in winning only five games while losing 12 for Fresno,
but finished with 130 strikeouts in 120 innings.

AND RECORD BOOK

It is desirable that the line from home base through the


pitcher's plate to second base shall run East-Northeast.
It is recommended that the distance from home base to
the backstop, and from the base lines to the nearest fence,
stand or other obstruction on foul territory shall be 60 feet or
more. See Diagram 1.

When location of home base is determined, with a steel


tape measure 127 feet, 3% inches in desired direction to establish second base.
From home base, measure 90 feet towards
first base; from second base, measure 90 feet towards first base;
the intersection of these lines establishes first base. From home
base, measure 90 feet towards third base; from second base,
measure 90 feet towards third base; the intersection of these
lines establishes third base. The distance between first base
and third base is 127 feet, 3% inches. All measurements from
home base shall be taken from the point where the first and
third base lines intersect.
The catcher's box, the batters' boxes, the coaches' boxes,
the three-foot first base lines and the next batter's boxes shall
be laid out as shown in Diagrams 1 and 2.

WHEN PLAYER BATS OUT OF TURN


(d)

When a player bats out of turn, and is put out, and the
proper batter is called out before the ball is pitched
to the next batter, charge the proper batter with a time
at bat and score the putout and any assists the same as
if the correct batting order had been followed.
If an
improper batter becomes a runner, and the proper batter
is called out for having missed his turn at bat, charge
the proper batter with a time at bat, credit the putout
to the catcher, and ignore everything entering into the
improper batter's safe arrival on base. If more than one
batter bats out of turn in succession score all plays
just as they occur, skipping the turn at bat of the
player or players who first missed batting in the proper
order.

RUNS BATTED IN

(a) Credit the batter with a run batted in for every run
which reaches home base because of the batter's safe
hit, sacrifice bunt, sacrifice fly, caught foul fly, infield
out or fielder's choice; or which is forced over the plate
by reason of the batter becoming a runner with the
bases full (on a base on balls, or an award of first base

for being touched by a pitched ball, or for interference


or obstruction).

(2) Credit a run batted in for the run scored when,

credit a run batted in when the batter grounds

(c) Do not credit a run batted in when a fielder is charged
with an error because he muffs a throw at first base
which would have completed a force double play.
(d) Scorer's judgement must determine whether a run batted
in shall be credited for a run which scores when a fielder
holds the ball, or throws to a wrong base. Ordinarily, if
the runner keeps going, credit a run batted in; if the
runner stops and takes off again when he notices the
misplay, credit the run as scored on a fielder's choice.

AND RECORD BOOK


DETERMINING VALUE OF BASE HITS
BASEBALL GUIDE

402

10.07 Whether a safe hit shall be scored as a one-base hit,


two-base hit, three-base hit or home run when no error or putout results shall be determined as follows:
(a)

Subject to the provisions of 10.07 (b) and (c), it is a onebase hit if the batter stops at first base; it is a two-base
hit if the batter stops at second base; it is a three-base
hit if the batter stops at third base; it is a home run if
the batter touches all bases and scores.

(b)

When, with one or more runners on base, the batter


advances more than one base on a safe hit and the
defensive team makes an attempt to put out a preceding runner, the scorer shall determine whether the batter made a legitimate two-base hit or three-base hit,
or whether he advanced beyond first base on the fielder's
choice.

NOTE: Do not credit the


when a preceding runner

batter with a three-base hit


is put out at the plate, or
would have been out but for an error. Do not credit the
batter with a two-base hit when a preceding runner
trying to advance from first base is put out at third
base, or would have been out but for an error. However, do not determine the value of base-hits by the
number of bases advanced by a preceding runner. A batter may deserve a two-base hit even though a preceding
runner advances one or no bases; he may deserve only a
one-base hit even though he reaches second base and a

preceding runner advances two bases.

When

a runner has started for a succeeding base before the pitcher delivers the ball and the pitch results

EXCEPTION: If another runner also advances because


of the pitch becoming a wild pitch or passed ball, the wild
pitch or passed ball also shall be scored.
(b)

When a runner is attempting to steal and any fielder


makes a wild throw attempting to prevent the stolen
base, credit a stolen base and no error, unless such
wild throw permits the "stealing" runner to advance
an extra base or bases, or permits any other runner
to advance one or more bases, in which case credit the
stolen base and charge one error to the player making
the wild throw.

When

When in the scorer's judgment a runner attempting to

the individual runners. When a pitcher put runners on base,
and is relieved, he shall be charged with all runs subsequently scored up to and including the number of runners he left
on base when he left the game, unless such runners are put
out without action by the batter, i.e., caught stealing, picked
off base, or called out for interference when a batter-runner

Total appearances at the plate shall include official
times at bat, plus bases on balls, times hit by pitcher,

BALL.

If the pitch strikes the ground and bounces through the strike
a "ball." If such a pitch hits the batter, he shall be awarded first
base. If the batter swings at such a pitch after two strikes, the ball cannot
be caught, for the purposes of Rules 6.05 (c) and 6.09 (b). If the batter hits
such a pitch, the ensuing action shall be the same as if he hit the ball in

zone

it is

flight.

FAIR BALL. If a fly ball lands in the infield between home and first
home and third base, and then bounces to foul territory without

base, or

touching a player or umpire and before passing

first or third base, it is a


foul ball; or if the ball settles on foul territory or is touched by a player on
foul territory, it is a foul ball. If any fielder fields such a foul ball in
foul territory and throws the ball to first base, the batter is not out. If
a fly ball lands on or beyond first or third base and then bounces to foul

territory,

it is

a fair

hit.

Clubs, increasingly, are erecting tall foul poles at the fence line with a wire
netting extending along the side of the pole on fair territory above the
fence to enable the umpires more accurately to judge fair and foul balls.
The custom should become universal.

FORCE PLAY. Confusion regarding this play is removed by remembering that frequently the "force" situation is removed during the play.
Example: Man on first, one out, ball hit sharply to first baseman who
touches the bag and batter-runner is out. The force is removed at that
moment and runner advancing to second must be tagged. If there had been
a runner on third or second, and either of these runners scored before the
tag-out at second, the run counts. Had the first baseman thrown to second
and the ball then had been returned to first, the play at second was a
force out, making two outs, and the return throw to first ahead of the runner would have made three outs. In that case, no run would score.

PITCH. Distinguish

ball.

3.01 (e) (3) The umpire shall not give an alternate ball to the pitcher
until play has ended and the previously used ball is dead. After a thrown
or batted ball goes out of the playing field, play shall not be resumed with
an alternate ball until the runners have reached the bases to which they
are entitled,

3.04 This rule is intended to eliminate the practice of using so-called


courtesy runners. No player in the game shall be permitted to act as a
courtesy runner for a teammate. No player who has been in the game and
has been taken out for a substitute shall return as a courtesy runner. Any
player not in the lineup, if used as a runner, shall be considered as a substitute player.

Players for whom substitutions have been made may remain with
team on the bench or may "warm-up" pitchers. If a manager substitutes another player for himself, he may continue to direct his team from
the bench or the coach's box. Major league umpires do not permit players
for whom substitutions have been made, and who are permitted to remain
on the bench, to address any remarks to any opposing player or manager,

or to the umpires.

3.10 (d) The umpire-in-chief shall at all times try to complete a game.
His authority to resume play following one or more suspensions of as much
as thirty minutes each shall be absolute and he shall terminate a game
only when there appears to be no possibility of completing it.
Baseball is so genuinely a team game that an error of omission, as
well as an error of commission, can, and frequently does, nullify the brilliant play of a teammate.

Approved Ruling: Two out, bases full, batter hits home run over fence.

Here

is

a general statement that covers:

When

a runner misses a base and a fielder holds the ball on a missed


base, or on the base originally occupied by the runner, and appeals for
the umpire's decision, the runner is out when the umpire sustains the appeal; all runners may score if possible, except that with two out the runner is out at the moment he misses the bag, if an appeal is made, as applied to succeeding runners.

Approved Ruling: One

out, Jones on third. Smith on first, and Brown flies


out to right field. Two outs. Jones tags up an3 after the catch scores.
Smith attempted to return to first but the right fielder's throw beat him
to the base. Three outs. But Jones had scored before the throw to catch
Smith reached first base, hence Jones' run counts. It was not a force play.

other line of demarcation to make a catch. He may jump on top of a railing, or canvas that may be in foul ground. No interference should be
allowed when a fielder reaches over a fence, railing, rope or into a stand
to catch a ball. He does so at his own risk.

6.05 (b) "Legally caught" means in the catcher's glove, before the ball
touches the ground. It is not legal if the ball lodges in his clothing or paraphernalia; or if it strikes the umpire and is caught by the catcher on the
rebound.

The objective of this rule is to penalize the offensive team for


deliberate, unwarranted, unsportsmanship action by the runner in leaving
the baseline for the obvious purpose of crashing the pivot man on a double
play, rather than trying to reach the base. Obviously this is an umpire's
judgment play.
6.05 (m)

6.07 The umpire shall not direct the attention of any person to the presence in the batter's box of an improper batter. This rule is designed to
require constant vigilance by the players and managers of both teams.
7.04 (b) A runner forced to advance without liability to be put out may
advance past the base to which he is entitled only at his peril. If such a
rvmner, forced to advance, is put out for the third out before a preceding

7.08 (e) and (j) Oversliding and overrunning situations arise at bases
other than first base. For instance, before two are out, and runners on
first and second, or first, second and third, the ball is hit to an infielder
who tries for the double play. The runner on first beats the throw to second base but overslides the base. The relay is made to first base and the
batter-runner is out. The first baseman, seeing the runner at second base
off the bag, makes the return throw to second and the runner is tagged off
the base. Meanwhile runners have crossed the plate. The question is: Is
this a force play?
Was the force removed when the batter-runner was
out at first base? Do the runs that crossed the plate during this play and
before the third out was made when the runner was tagged at second,
count? Answer: The runs score. It is not a force play. It is a tag play.

All umpires shall carry with them one official rosin bag. The
is responsible for placing the rosin bag on the ground back

for the purpose of applying rosin to his bare hand or hands. Neither the

"safe."

Each umpire team should work out a simple set of signals, so the proper
umpire can always right a manifestly wrong decision when convinced
he has made an error. If sure you got the play correctly, do not be
stampeded by players' appeals to "ask the other man." If not sure, ask one
of your associates. Do not carry this to extremes, be alert and get your
own plays. But remember! The first requisite is to get decisions correctly.
If in doubt don't hesitate to consult your associate.
Umpire dignity is
important but never as important as "being right."
A most important rule for umpires is always "BE IN POSITION TO
SEE EVERY PLAY." Even though your decision may be 100% right,
players still question it if they feel you were not in a spot to see the
play clearly and definitely.
Finally, be courteous, impartial and firm, and so compel respect from all.
9.02 (a) There shall be no appeal from the decision of the umpire-in-chief
on a half swing. His decision must and will be final, it being entirely a
question of the umpire's judgment as to whether the batter struck at
the pitch.
