Over the years I've written quite a bit about both games that I have seen, events from the history of baseball, trends in baseball and players. Here's the scoop:
A Goodbye to Harry
- I wrote this the day after Harry Caray died.
Marasco Ran for Campanella
- A little story I did about somebody who fell out of the family tree.
Ott & Oh
- Mel Ott and Sadaharu Oh share more than a few things in common.
The Original Iron Man
- Why was Joe McGinnity tagged with the nickname "Iron Man"? Well, it has to
do with his off-season job, but he was pretty durable anyway. He won both ends of a
double header three times in one month. This is an account of those games.
The Barber's Place in History
- Who was the starter who faced Don Larsen in his perfect game? Who
was lifted right before Vic Wertz hit his famous fly ball to Willie Mays?
Who faced Don Newcombe in the Bobby Thompson game? Sal Maglie, that's who.
Two Giants
- The story of Mickey Welch and Tim Keefe, two Giants among pitchers.
Lai Tin
- A Chinese player who played on the outskirts of baseball in the 1910's.
