While reading old box scores in Baseball Digest, I noticed that on many occasions there were only three umpires listed.
I'm wondering when the fourth umpire was added for major league games and, also, how the three umpires were positioned in the old days.
Tom Benson
Brooklyn Park, Minn.
By 1912, two umpires were required to cover each game in the American and National Leagues. In 1933, three-man crews were required for the first time during the regular season, and in 1952, four-man crews became standard in both leagues.
When the use of three umpires was standardized in the 1930s, the leagues differed initially in how base umpires rotated around the infield.
In the American League, with a man on first, umpires were stationed at second and third. The National League put umpires at first and second when three-man crews were employed.
The article "Turn Back the Clock--1943" by Jerome Holtzman in the August issue of Baseball Digest answered some questions that have been on my mind for 59 years.
In 1945, the United States was fighting in World War II, and baseball players were an important part of our military force.
With so many players serving their country, baseball clubs at all levels had trouble finding enough bodies to field a team. That void gave me my one chance.
Doll Camilli, who was managing Oakland of the Pacific Coast League, offered me a tryout. Glen (Gabby) Stewart, Oakland's second baseman, took me under his wing during my two weeks of glory.
One day, when we were in town before a scheduled night game, we went into a hotel, and Glen introduced me to a gentleman whom he later told me was the former owner of the Phillies during Glen's short time in the majors. He also told me the man had been kicked out of baseball by Judge (Kenesaw) Landis.
That was all I have ever heard about William Cox (the banned owner). For 59 years, I have wondered just what was the story behind Cox getting removed from baseball. Now, through Holtzman's article, I know a little about a man I met for such a short time so many years ago.
Holtzman stated Cox was number 16 on the list of people Landis removed from baseball.
There were the eight Black Sox, of course, but who were the other seven banished from the game?
Bob Brown
Oak Harbor, Wash.
Others banished from the majors included Benny Kauff, Joe Gedeon, Gene Paulette, Claude Hendrix, Phil Douglas, Jimmy O'Connell and coach Cozy Dolan.
In concluding his article on former Phillies owner William Cox in the August issue, author Jerome Holtzman said, "Nobody on the suspended list has yet to be reinstated."
Holtzman forgot Leo (The Lip) Durocher who was suspended by Commissioner Happy Chandler in 1947 for associating with gamblers, but was reinstated in 1948, and later was elected to the Hall of Fame.
John V. Brown
Bear, Del.
You can also include Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle who were banned by Commissioner Bowie Kuhn for their involvement with legalized gambling casinos in 1983. Both Hall of Fame players were reinstated by Commissioner Peter Ueberroth on March 18, 1985.
My first exposure to baseball was listening to the broadcast by Graham McNamee of the 1931 World Series between the Philadelphia Athletics and the St. Louis Cardinals.
I remember the ace pitchers for the clubs were Robert Grove and George Earnshaw for the A's, and Burleigh Grimes and William Hallahan for the Cardinals who prevailed, much to dad's enjoyment.
Can you show the pitching statistics of the A's and Cardinal staffs for the season and for that World Series?
D.M. Christisen
Columbia, Mo.
See the accompanying chart.
Since the inception of major league baseball, are the Milwaukee Brewers the only team to move from one league to another?
Chuck Finkbeiner
Richmond, Va.
No. The National League, founded in 1876, included a number of franchises in its early years that eventually became American League teams such as the Baltimore Orioles, Cleveland Spiders (Indians), Detroit Wolverines (Tigers), St. Louis Browns and Washington Senators.
After returning from Korea 51 years ago, I was stationed at an Army anti-aircraft installation outside Chicago.
The Phillies were coming to town, and the newspaper mentioned that a young, 19year-old shortstop was going to get his chance to start for the Phillies.
Teddy Kazanski, my old buddy from Detroit, was that shortstop.
I rushed down to the Cubs field and saw the game. I don't remember much about the game, other than my pal Kazanski got four hits and drove in a bundle of runs. What a start!
Kazanski never did much after that great start. His lifetime average was .217. After the game, Ted introduced me to his skipper. I believe it was Steve O'Neill, and they took me back downtown on the team bus. It was a real thrill.
I sure would like to see a box score of that game.
Billy Rodgere
Palm City, Fla.
Kazanski made his major league debut on June 25, 1953 in a game won by the Phillies, 13-2, at Wrigley Field.
An account of the game stated "the Phillies $100,000 bonus shortstop, Ted Kazanski, struck out the first time at bat on three pitches, but in five succeeding appearances, out two doubles and a single, driving in four runs. Kazanski also sparkled afield, participating in two double plays."
See the accompanying box score.
Here are two scorekeeping questions:
(1) A battle hits a foul popup which is dropped (by a fielder) for an error. On the next pitch, the batter singles. Is he charged with a time at-bat when he should have been out? Or, is he just credited with a single?
(2) A batter hits a ground ball with a runner on first. The fielder throws to second base and everyone is safe.
There was no error on the play. The ball was not mishandled nor was there an errant throw or dropped ball.
Is the batter charged with a time at bat? Is he credited with a single? How is this scored?
Barry Adico
Sam Jose. Calif.
Regarding the first question, the batter is charged with only one at-bat despite the error on the foul popup and is credited with a single.
As to the second question, the batter is charged with an at-bat and is not given a hit if, in the scorer's judgment, the batter-runner could have been pat oat at first base had the second baseman thrown the ball to first (Rule 10.06-d). His at-bat is marked as a fielder's choice.
On the other hand, the batter gets a hit if in the scorer's judgment the batter would not have been put out at first base by ordinary effort.
On July 20, 1946, my father took my younger brother and me to Yankee Stadium to see our first maim" league baseball game.
The Yankees played the Chicago White Sox and beat them, 6-0, with Spud Chandler pitching the shutout.
This was the only major league game my brother saw until we went to see the Devil Rays play host to the Giants on June 10 this year.
Can you publish the box score of that game we saw 58 years ago?
Donald B. Pate
Brandon, Fla.
Chandler won that game, 7-0, with the help of home runs hit by second baseman Joe Gordon, rookie first baseman Steve Souchock and catcher Aaron Robinson.
The game was played in sweltering heat and resulted in Chandlers 14th victory of the season and fourth shutout. See the accompanying box score.
I was pleased to see "Indian Bob" Johnson recognized in the article on "Baseball's Forgotten Stars" (July Baseball Digest).
At the tail end of his career, Johnson was part of what was--and still is--my favorite team, the Seattle Rainiers of the old Pacific Coast League.
At that time, the majors were more of a concept than a reality to us in the West. The Coast League was where it was at.
Television was non-existent and major league radio broadcasts only showed up at World Series time when we would smuggle a portable radio into school or try to talk some teacher into scrapping his lesson plan so we could listen to the Series.
The Rainiers were a colorful bunch and included some real characters like robust pitcher "Kewpie Dick" Barrett, and the "Mad Russian" Lou Novikoff.
The lineup I remember most, from around 1950, had an outfield of Novikoff in left, Johnny Rucker or Bill Ramsey in center, and Johnson in right.
The infield was manned by Mickey Rocco at first, Tony York at second, Johnny O'Neill at short, and Coast League batting champ Hillis Layne at third. Another "forgotten star," Rollie Hemsley, was behind the plate.
These were former major leaguers who were making more money in the minors in an era when the Coast League teams operated independently.
Dave Laster
Bellingham, Wash.
I'm glad that Baseball Digest paid homage to baseball's "forgotten stars" in the July issue.
Jose Cruz, Sr., was a talented, under-appreciated outfielder with the Astros. Could you publish his lifetime stats?
David Lynch
Willow Grove, Pa.
Jose Cruz St. played 19 years in the majors, from 1970 through 1988, spending 13 seasons with the Astros (1975-1987). He had a lifetime butting average of .284, hitting .300 or better in six seasons.
His best year was 1983 when he batted .318 and led the National League in hits with 189.
In his career, Cruz compiled 391 doubles, 94 triples and 165 homers. He also stole 317 bases.
In George Vasa's article on "forgotten stars" there was mention of shortstop Glenn Wright of the Pirates who won the 1925 World Series against the Senators.
That sparked my thoughts about another very good Pirate shortstop who had very little Hall of Fame consideration: namely, three-time All-Star Dick Groat.
How many votes did Dick receive while eligible for the Hall of Fame, and what are your thoughts on him as an outstanding ballplayer?
Dave Sanders
Danville, Pa.
Groat was a key member of two World Series champions, the 1960 Pirates and 1964 Cardinals. In his 14-year major league career (1952-1967), he was a .286 lifetime hitter, batting .325 for the Pirates in 1960 and .292 for the Cardinals in 1964.
Defectively, Groat didn't have a powerful arm or great range, but he knew how to play the batters and was always in position. He was a team leader in many ways.
Groat received only minimal support from members of the Baseball Writers Association in Hall of Fame voting. During his years of eligibility, he received seven votes in 1973; four in 1974; four in 1975; seven in 1976; four in 1977, and only three in 1978.
Last June 28, David Bell of the Phillies hit for the cycle. The next night, he made two outs in one inning, although he went 2-for-4 with a home run in the game.
I wonder if any player has ever made all three outs in the same inning?
Pete Fitzpatrick
Williamstown, N.J.
Since 1900 and through 2003, there have been 17 players who came to bat three times in one inning, but none of them ever made an out in all three trips to the plate.
I noticed in your list of most home runs per position (August Baseball Digest) and saw that Ernie Banks was not on the list for shortstops, although he hit 512 career home runs.
At what position did Banks hit all of his home runs and how many?
Kenny Eisman
Plainview, N.Y.
Banks hit 277 of his 512 career homers as a shortstop.
During his tenure with the Cubs, he played 23 games in left field, 69 at third base and 1,259 at first base. We do not have the number of homers he hit at each of these other positions, although he did produce five home runs as a pinch-hitter.
We all know the story of Babe Ruth being sold from the Red Sox to the Yankees, and we also know how Ruth's career turned out.
Can you tell me who replaced Ruth on the Red Sox roster, and what kind of career he had?
Perry Dugger
Madisonville, Ky.
Ruth was sold to the Yankees on January 3, 1920 for $125,000 and a $300,000 loan to Boston Red Sox owner Harry Frazee. There were no other players involved in the deal.
In 1919, Ruth pitched in 19 games and played 111 games in left field and five games at first base for the Red Sox.
So, there really is no answer as to which player replaced him on the Red Sox roster in 1920. It might be noted that in 1920, veteran Red Sox outfielder, Harry Hooper, normally a right fielder, played left field for Boston, with Mike Menosky taking over the right field spot.
I recently watched a replay of the June 17, 1978 Yankee game in which Ron Guidry struck out 18 batters.
That year, Guidry had a phenomenal record of 25-3.
If my memory serves me right, one of his defeats was a 2-1 less to Baltimore. I seem to remember the Yankees had a 1-0 lead when Bucky Dent made a throwing error to first.
Dent's error was followed by a Doug DeCinces homer. Can you confirm my recollection?
Ralph Abbruzzese
Brooklyn, N.Y.
Your recollection is fine. The game was played on August 4 that year. In the seventh inning, Eddie Murray reached second base on a throwing error by Dent, and DeCinces followed with a home run that led to Guidry's 2-1 loss.
In a local sports page earlier this year, there was a short article of a Mariners-Blue Jays game in which it was stated that Ichiro Suzuki became the first player since Pete Rose to have 50-plus hits in one month twice in his career.
Suzuki had 50 hits in May 2004, and 51 in August 2001. Rose had 52 in July 1973, and 51 in September 1979.
My question: Who is the third player to accomplish this? My guess is either Ty Cobb or Joe DiMaggio.
Jess Lybbert
Las Vegas, Nev.
According to SABR researcher David Stephan, Suzuki's 50-hit month last May was the 214th time in major league history, since 1901, that a player has recorded as many as 50 hits in one month.
Hall of Famer George Sisler has the most 50-hit months in a career with ten followed by Heinie Manush who had seven.
The most hits in one month by an American League player is 68 by Detroit's Ty Cobb in July 1912. The N.L. mark is 64 by Pie Traynor of the Pirates in August 1928.
Several players have recorded multiple 50hit months in the same season including Sisler, Bill Terry, Al Simmons, Rogers Hornsby and Lefty O'Doul among others.
Other active players who have put together a 50-hit month besides Suzuki include Albert Pujols of the Cardinals (51 in June 2003), Johnny Damon of the Royals (51 in July 2000), Todd Helton of the Rockies (50 in August 2000), Roberto Alomar of the Indians (53 in September 2000), Joe Randa of the Royals (50 in July 1999) and Alex Rodriguez of the Mariners (54 in August 1996).
Upon reading George Vass's column about "Fluke Seasons" in the August issue, I immediately thought of Heathcliffe Slocumb who had 32 saves for the 1995 Phillies.
I believe Slocumb had more saves that year than in the rest of his career combined.
What brings Slocumb to mind is that during that 1995 season, I remember hearing about his being a single parent, raising his children on his own after his wife had passed away.
Several years later, my wife passed away and I, too, became a single parent.
Knowing that Slocumb was able to persevere through tragedy has helped me in my daily life. Thanks Heathciiffe.
Bejamin Baj
Philadelphia, Pa.
Slocumb did have an excellent season as a reliever in 1955, but it was hardly a fluke. He saved 31 games for the Boston Red Sox in 1996, and saved 27 games in 1997, pitching for the Red Sox and Mariners.
In his ten-year career, he had a total of 98 saves.
Although southpaw knuckleballer Gene Bearden never again came close to his sensational 20-7 mark with the 1948 World Series champion Cleveland Indians as referred to in the article on "Fluke Seasons," he was far from being finished as a pitcher.
Following his seven-season (1947-1953) major league career that encompassed five clubs, Bearden returned to the Pacific Coast League where he had played in 1946-1947.
He then went on to fashion marks of 11-13 with the 1954 Seattle Rainiers; a staff-leading 18-12 with the 1955 San Francisco Seals, and a second-leading 15-14 with the 1956 Sacramento Solons.
In 1955, Bearden was reunited with his 1948 Indians teammate Walt Judnich at San Francisco.
During the Indians' 100th anniversary season in 2001, Bearden was named to the "Top 100 Greatest Indians" roster.
Paul A. Baumgatner
Elyria, O.
In the article on "Fluke Seasons," author George Vass described former pitcher Bobby Shantz as a "5-6 right-hander."
Shantz was a left-hander.
Dick Willoughby
Bradford, N.H.
I was recently reading my Baseball Almanac and came upon the brief but amazing career of Dale Alexander of the Tigers from 1929 to 1933.
Alexander started his career with 137 and 135 RBI, and after five years was out of baseball with a .331 batting average.
I know he was traded to the Red Sox for Earl Webb in 1932, but I cannot figure out why his career was cut short.
Why was he out of baseball so soon, and are the 272 RBI he collected in 1929-1930 the must for any player in his first two seasons in the majors?
Alan Brum
Dayton, N.J.
Nicknamed "Moose", Alexander ranks behind Joe DiMaggio for producing the most RBI in the first two years of major league play. See the accompanying chart for the top hitters in that category.
Defensive deficiencies as a first baseman were the principal cause for Alexander's brief stay in the majors.
Please settle a bet for us. Can there be a perfect game pitched if the winning team has an error?
Suppose the third baseman drops the leadoff man's easy foul popup in the first inning, and is charged with an error, but alter that error, the batter strikes out. The pitcher then goes on to retire the remaining 26 batters consecutively.
My friend thinks this qualifies as a perfect game since no runners reached base. I disagree, believing a perfect game requires a team, effort.
If my friend is right, has there ever been a perfect game with an error on a foul ball?
Dennis C., Whitehead
Iron Mountain, Mich.
Continued from page 2.
Since 1900, there has never been a perfect nine-inning game in which the winning team was charged with an error that did not allow a batter to reach base on a bobbled attempt to catch afoul ball.
The definition of a perfect game, at least from the pitcher's standpoint, is a game in which the pitcher retires all 27 opposing batters in order.
Despite a teammate's miscue on catching a foul ball, the pitcher should not be deprived of his perfect game as long us he retires the batter who hit the foul ball.
On June 10, 1977, I attended a Twins-Yankee game at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees won, 4-1, behind Ron Guidry and Sparky Lyle.
In the bottom of the fifth inning, Chris Chambliss drove home Reggie Jackson with a single. After Lou Piniella doubled and pinch-hitter Roy White grounded out to short, Graig Nettles was intentionally walked in order to get to Fran Healy.
My scorecard from that game shows a triple steal by Chambliss, Piniella and Nettles. I know Billy Martin was an aggressive manager, but did the Yankees really pull off a triple steal, or was this merely a wild pitch or passed ball?
Michael Brennan
Columbia, N.J.
There was no triple steal in that game. Here's what happened in the bottom of the fifth inning.
Jackson led off with a double to left. Chambliss singled to left, scoring Jackson. Piniella then doubled to left, sending Chambliss to third.
Chambliss and Piniella then worked a double steal, Chambliss racing home and Piniella reaching third.
After the double steal, Roy White grounded out. Nettles was walked intentionally. Healy struck out, and Bucky Dent grounded out.
On July 3, 1966, I listened on radio to a game between the Atlanta Braves and San Francisco Giants.
Atlanta pitcher Tony Cloninger hit two grand slams in that game. I believe the Braves won the game, 19-8.
Could you please print a box score of that game? Also, have any other pitchers ever hit two grand slams in one game?
Keith Thronson
Mobile, Ala.
Through the 2003 season, 12 players have hit two grand slams in one game, including Tony Cloninger who remains the only pitcher to accomplish the feat.
In that game at Candlestick Park, won by the Braves, 17-3, Cloninger belted his grand slams in the first and fourth innings. He also singled in the eighth to drive in his ninth run of the game. See the accompanying box score.
My friend, Patrick Weber, and I have had an argument that we think you may be able to resolve.
Consider the following scenario:
A starting pitcher has the lead going into the bottom of the 7th inning. He quickly gets two outs, then allows a rally that ties the game, and leaves a runner on first base.
A reliever comes in, and before throwing any pitches, picks off the runner at first. In the top of the 8th inning, his team regains the lead, and proceeds to win the game.
The reliever, who made the successful pickoff, did not return to the mound, and the only out he recorded was the pickoff. A new reliever finishes the game.
Our question is this: Which pitcher is credited with the win, the starter, the reliever who made the pickoff throw, or the reliever who finished the game?
Anthony J. Markovich
Philadelphia, Pa.
The pitcher who made the pickoff in the bottom of the seventh inning gets credit for the win since he was the pitcher of record when his team took the lead in the top of the eighth inning.
Here's how Rule 10.19 (a) reads: "The winning relief pitcher shall be the one who is the pitcher of record when his team assumes the lead and maintains it to the finish of the game.
"Exception: Do not credit a victory to a relief pitcher who is ineffective in a brief appearance, when a succeeding relief pitcher pitches effectively in helping his team maintain the lead. In such cases, credit the succeeding relief pitcher with the victory."
In your scenario, even though the first reliever did not throw a pitch, he was "effective" in ending the other team's rally with his pickoff move.
In the July issue of Baseball Digest, you mentioned in the letters section that Grover Alexander pitched the most one-hitters (4) in one season.
Could you tell me who holds the lifetime record for most one-hitters pitched? Is it Bob Feller with 12?
Jorge Bermudez
San Juan, Puerto Rico
Feller pitched 12 one-hitters during his Hall of Fame career, as did Nolan Ryan. All of Feller's one-hitters were pitched for the Cleveland Indians in the American League. Ryan pitched nine one-hitters in the A.L. and three in the National League.
According to our research, no other major league pitcher has ever matched the number of one-hitters recorded by Feller and Ryan.
Every year, a friend and I bet on the Cubs-White Sox series. We have been trying to recall which team holds an edge in winning the most series.
Could you list the results of each Cubs-White Sox series since inter-league play started?
Will Garay
Green Bay, Wis.
Since inter-league games began in 1997, the White Sox have won nine of the 14 series they played against the Cubs. Here is their series record year by year.
