Curt Gowdy didn't sound too enthused calling that one, because he had been the Red Sox play by play guy in the 50s and 60s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUFLA Posted July 7, 2022 Report Share Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) On this day in baseball history, in 1921 Babe Ruth of the Yankees became baseball's career home run leader by hitting his 120th off Cleveland's Jim Bagby. He was 26 years old at that time. The Bambino would go on to hit 594 more homers... Edited July 7, 2022 by IUFLA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When monument park was on the field at Old Yankee Stadium. That was before the remodeling in the mid 70s. They took the monuments out of play (behind a wall) and shortened all of the outfield walls. The Yanks played in Shea Stadium for 2 years so they could do the renovations. The original dimensions were ridiculous... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first game was at Riverfront in '72. But, I do have vivid memories of the Hudepohl vendors making their way through the crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steubenhoosier Posted October 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 On Wednesday 19 October 1949, the Chicago White Sox traded for Nellie Fox. The White Sox finished at least eight games above .500 for twelve seasons from 1951 to 1963. Chicago captured the American League pennant with Nellie Fox earning the Most Valuable Player award in 1959. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
