Ty Cobb in 1911: The Best Season In History
Baseball is filled with what-ifs? It's a big part of what keeps the Hot Stove hot. What if Mantle didn’t injure his knee in the 1951 World Series and had a relatively injury free career? What if Ted Williams hadn't lost five years of baseball due to serving his country in WW2 and the Korean War? Then there is Herb Score of the Cleveland Indians. Score was Nolan Ryan before there was a Nolan Ryan. In 1955 as 22 year old rookie he was 16-10 with an ERA of 2.85 and set a rookie record of 247 strikeouts in only 227 innings. In 1956 he was better. He was 20-9 an ERA of 2.53, 265 strikeouts in 249 innings and a league high 5 shutouts. Indian fans referred to him a left-handed Bob Feller.
But that changed on May 7, 1957 . His potential Hall of Fame career was ended by a line drive off the bat of Yankee Gil McDougald that caught him flush in the eye. He was close to losing his eye. He pitched until 1962 but was never close to being the pitcher he was in his first two full seasons. The back of the 1960 card, several years past those two great seasons gives examples of the greatness he displayed in '55 and '56. Among them striking out 13 Yankees in a 5-2 win, striking out 14 A's and losing a 1-0 game to the Yanks. It also shows a 4.70 ERA and a high walk to strikeout ratio. Contrary to what had originally been thought he did not lose any vision. He could see as well as before.
Score has said that he had been suffering elbow problems and changed his delivery to compensate for that. Whatever the reason, Score would have been one of the game’s greatest pitchers if not for that injury. If you look at the back of his card you will notice his highlights show that Score could still bring the heat, still no one will never know what career he would have had. When his playing days were over he went on to become a beloved Indians broadcaster for 34 years beginning in 1964. He had no regrets, in fact he considered himself lucky for that ball might have been killed him. Still, when I look at that card I cannot but think of what might have been.

1960 Game 7-Where Was Ford and Who Put That Pebble There?
A couple of days ago was the 61st Anniversary of Bill Mazeroski's game winning home run in the bottom of the ninth of game seven to beat the New York Yankees in the 1960 World Series.
During my daily youtube surfing I came upon a show commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the Pirates 1960 World Championship. There were a lot of Pirate players from that team. Series MVP Bobby Richardson was the only Yankee. They replayed the final three innings of what many consider the greatest World Series game in baseball history. I watched the grainy black and white game and it was as if it happened yesterday. That homer is as fresh in my mind now as it was then.
I was in fifth grade. Robert Schroeder snuck in his transistor radio and was giving us sthe best play by play under the circumstances. It wasn't long before the teacher, who knew all along, gave him the okay and we could listen until the bell rang and school was out. I lived only a block away and was able to watch the last three innings. The Yankees three wins were by scores 16-1, 10-0, and 12-0. The Bucs victories were 6-4, 3-2, and 5-2. Casey Stengel was fired after game seven. He cited his age as the reason and said he’d never make the mistake of turning 70 again. But, the entire series was mismanaged and game seven was the final straw.
The biggest controversy was why he didn’t have Ford start game one. Art Ditmar started games one and four for a total of 1.2 innings. Ford threw complete game shut outs in Games three and six with respective scores of 10-0 and 12-0. In both games the Yankees were ahead 10-0 going into the seventh, so why didn’t he take him out and save him for a possible seventh game? Stengel had him warming up in game seven and had he not pitched 18 innings in two blow outs it would have been a no brainer to put him in the game.
When the slow moving Dale Long pinch hit a single in the eighth. Stengel kept the slow afoot Long when common sense called for a pinch runner. Mantle singled to right. Long "raced" to third. Had Clemente not bobbled Mantle’s single Clemente would have easily thrown out Long going to third. It was then the Ol' Perfesser had Gil McDougald run for Long. Better late than never, huh?
The bad hop grounder that hit Tony Kubek in the throat on what would have been a sure DP was a punch to the gut. A few batters later Hal Smith’s hit three run homer. It should be noted that with two strikes Smith tried to check his swing. I say tried because it's evident that the bat easily crossed the plate. Had it been called properly then Smith is out and there's no three run shot. The ninth saw Mantle evading a double play that allowed the Yanks to tie the game, and then-in the bottom of the ninth-Mazeroski’s shot. It’s been almost sixty years, and it’s like it happened yesterday.
There were some interesting things that happened in the game. On a two strike pitch Hal Smith’s check swing easily crossed the plate and could have been called a strike. The legendary Roberto Clemente bobbled two ground singles. The first had no impact, but the second would have seen Long thrown out at third. There were NO strike-outs in that game. There was a beautiful double play from Kubek to Richardson to Skowron that would be on ESPN all week long. Bobby Shantz pitched five scoreless innings and if not for the pebble more than likely would have thrown six scoreless innings.
It’s not sour grapes to say the Pirates got the breaks. The former Pirate players on the show said that game seven was symbolic of their entire season. Maybe a Pittsburgh win was meant to be. Who knows? Although I missed the first six innings I’m glad it was played in the day time for part of the mystique was sitting anxiously and nervously listening to Robert Schroeder giving us updates and then me flying home to see the ending of the greatest WS game in baseball.
As for me…well it was a shock. I couldn’t believe it. I was a fan. A true fan. There is no crying in baseball? Not all the time.

Joe DiMaggio's 'Other' Hitting Achievement
Joe DiMaggio is remembered for hitting safely in 56 consecutive games. It is a record tmany feel will never be broken. But in 1939 he set Yankee records for a right handed hitter that would last until 2007. He hit 46 home runs with 19 of them at home. One cannot underestimate what an impression feat this is when taken into consideration half of his games were played in Yankee Stadium and the cavernous Death Valley of right field. The distance down the lines was short, but it quickly got deeper. It was 301 in left then 404 feet to short left, 415 to the visitor’s bullpen. (Either you were a dead pull hitter, or you were an out) 457 to left-center, and 461 to dead center.
By design the Stadium was built for left handed power hitters, and the Yanks have had their share: Ruth, Gehrig, Berra, Mantle, Jackson, Mattingly among them. Mantle was of course a switch-hitter but was much better when he hit lefty. I could not find how many homers Mickey hit at Yankee Stadium, but in 1956 Mantle hit only 13 of his 54as a right handed hitter, and in 1961 only 11 of his 56. A topic for another day is if Mantle would have been better off hitting only lefty.
Joe Gordon is a relatively forgotten Yankee star, but he was a right handed hitter with a lot of power. Still, Gordon hit 15 of his 32 in 1940 and give another year. That’s why I think hitting 46 Homers in 1937 was one of the greatest exhibitions of power hitting of all time. Joe D’s Yankee record lasted until 2005 when Alex Rodriguez hit 48 and in 2007 with 54. Both years he hit 26 at home; 9 more than DiMaggio, but the Yankee Stadium of Rodriguez was a lot smaller than the Yankee Stadium of DiMaggio's playing days.
By comparison the Yankee Stadium for ARod was 314 down the lines, 385 right center 408 center and 399 left center. We’re looking at a 70+foot difference in the left field power alley and a 53 foot difference in center. I’ve read anecdotes of DiMaggio hitting deep fly balls only to be caught over 400 feet from home.. How many of his fly balls were caught 425 feet or 440 feet from home? Could he have lost fourteen homers to fly ball outs 425 feet from home? That’s why I think hitting 46 Homers in 1937 was one of the greatest exhibitions of power hitting of all time.
In addition to the streak Joe D has the twelfth highest slugging percentage in baseball history of. 97. He ended his thirteen year career with 361 home runs, ands only 369 strike outs. If you discount his last year when he was past his prime, his homer to strikeouts would be: 349 to 333. The only person close to him among the top 20 slugging percentages is Stan Musial with 475 and 696, and if you count only his first thirteen years he still trails DiMaggio. Only Yogi Berra, another great contact hitter comes close after thirteen years with 311 and 327.
In my opinion hitting 46 Homers in 1937 was one of the greatest exhibitions of power hitting of all time.

Un-Retire These Yankee Numbers?
The Yankees have retired 20 numbers, and I have no problem with most of them: Jeter(2), Ruth(3), Gehrig(4), DiMaggio(5), Mantle(7) and Berra/Dickey(8), Rizzuto(10) Munson(15)Ford(16), Howard(32)and Rivera(42). Williams(51). But there are seven whose numbers should not be retired.
1--Billy Martin. His regular season statistics were nothing to write home about but his World Series appearances were great. He hit .333 in five series, and his catch of a wind blown pop up by Jackie Robinson with the bases loaded was key to the Yanks winning the '52 World Series. But he is most remembered for his run-ins with George Steinbrenner and Reggie Jackson. There have been others who have worn number 1; Earle Combs, Bobby Richardson, and Bobby Murcer. This is a number that should be given to a worthy player and neither should it be retired.
,6--Joe Torre. Joe managed he great Yankee dynasty teams., but prior to that he had a losing records with the Braves, Cardinals and was barely above .500 with the Mets. He inherited a team that was poised for greatness. His first year with the club was also Jeter's and it was Rivera and Pettitte's 2nd year, O'Neill's 3rd and Williams'4th full season, and Posada saw limited action. Maybe Joe was the type of manager the young Yanks needed; a mature, steady presence, who could project a protective fatherly image. If you're going to retire #6, then add the names of Joe Gordon, Tony Lazzeri and fancy fielding Clete Boyer as well.
9--Roger Maris. His number is retired for one reason, and I don’t think that reason is good enough. To his credit, Roger was a good all-around ballplayer. He had a great arm, was an excellent outfielder, a very good baserunner, and in addition was well liked in the clubhouse. One can argue that had he hit 55 or 45 or 35 home runs it might have been better for his career, and he certainly would not have had to suffer the stress and unfair criticism from the press and many fans. But, #9 was worn by players who seem to be cut in the same mold as Roger. There are Hank Bauer, Charlie Keller and Graig Nettles. This is another case where #9 should be seen as a reward, and an expectation that the wearer will continue the tradition.
20---Jorge Posada. Jorge is one of four players from the dynasty with his number retired. But being a valuable component of the dynasty is not enough reason. The Yanks have been blessed with some excellent catchers. Dickey and Berra(8) are bona fide HOFers and two of the best catchers to ever play the game, and Berra considered the best. Ellie Howard(32)was a good all around ball-player who before becoming the regular catcher played left field and was the first Afro-American to play for the Yanks. Munson(15)was the personification of a leader. He held the Yanks through some rough times, and put up impressive post-season numbers. Posada was important but Munson was indispensable and Posada falls behind the catchers I've mentioned. Save #20 for someone worthy of the number
37---Casey Stengel. How good a manager was Casey? His record after his first two managerial stints were 581 wins and 742 losses over a nine year period. His teams finished next to last five of those nine years. Sure; the teams were bad when he started, but they were bad when he was finished with them as well. It's easy to overlook his time with the Mets, but he did absolutely nothing with them. I'm not talking about making them contenders, but in his full three years they went from 120 losses in 1962 to 109 losses in 1964. So, why is his number retired? I don't know. Is it because the Mets did? And what does that say about the Mets(actually it might say a lot about them). He inherited a great team with the Yanks and the front office was as good as anyones. And when he did try to manage, he managed to have Whitey Ford game 3 of the 1960 World Series which limited Whitey to two starts and unavailable for game 7. Give him a plaque, why not?
44---Reggie Jackson. He had a candy bar named after him and he earned the well-deserved nickname, Mr. October. Reggie should have finished his career as a Yank, and you can fault George for that. But he only played five years, one less than he played for the Angels. And before he earned his Mr. October he was the self described, 'straw that stirs the drink." He almost got into a fight with his manager, insulted the team leader (Thurman Munson), and was the main contributor to the dissension in the Yankee clubhouse. Yankee fans will always love him for those October moments and the great shot of him staring at the pitcher after hitting his third home run in a game versus the Dodgers. Give him plague.
46---Andy Pettitte. Andy is something that baseball needs more of today and that is a warrior-pitcher. He may not have always had his best stuff but you knew that he would be battling with every start and leave nothing on the field. He was a workhorse who came to each game ready to battle. He brought his lunch bucket and a true blue collar attitude which the fans loved. Save the number for a pitcher with the same criteria. And the way things are going in baseball that might not happen for a long time I would not retire his number to anyone who leaves the Yanks. In addition there are others just as, or as I believe more deserving. There is Red Ruffing, with four consecutive seasons of 20+ wins.(he wore 15 for much of his career) and was 7-2 in WS with a 2.67 ERA. Lefty Gomez had four seasons of 20 wins including one of 24 and 26. He was 6-0 in WS with an ERA of 2.86. I also include Mel Stottlemyre with a career ERA of 2.97 and three 20 win seasons. Had he been surrounded with talent the other pitchers had might very well have been a HOFer. The above three have plaques in Monument Park and so should Andy.
Say It's Name: Steinbrenner Park and Galleria
I’ve been to Yankee Stadium. I’ve seen Ford pitch, and Mantle and Berra and Skowron hit home runs. I've seen Al Kaline jump on the auxiliary scoreboard in an attempt to catch a ball. I’ve walked to the Monuments and read the inscriptions.
I've been to Yankee Stadium and seen Guidry give up two hits and strikeout thirteen on my birthday; , Munson throw out runners and Nettles and Mattingly own the right field ‘porch,’ and I’ve been there to see two men thrown out a home.
I’ve seen where the Yankees have played their home games for the past eight years. I can assure you it is not Yankee Stadium. Yankee Stadium has been gone for years, replaced by The Steinbrenner Park and Galleria which is a symbol of the elite management giving long time generational Yankee fans a big middle finger. I haven’t been there and unless I get an all expenses paid trip out there, I’m not going. No big deal. I’ve been to Yankee Stadium and this cookie cutter bandbox where the Yankees play is no Yankee Stadium..
Steinbrenner Park obliterates the legacy and tradition of The House That Babe Built. Why am writing this now? Someone was talking about the Curse of The Bambino, and I got to thinking; if the Babe can curse the Red Sox for trading him, what would he do to a club that destroyed the home he built.? Yes, they won the first year they opened Steinbrenner Park, but since then?
If there was ever a ballpark geared for Arena Baseball, Steinbrenner Park is it. The fans are cursed with a park that is cold, soulless and heartless. Prior to being demolished Yankee Stadium was called The Cathedral of Baseball. How could an organization revel in tearing down a 'cathedral.' It's like, 'Hey, everybody we're going to demolish St. Patrick's and build a neat, cute, little church here, so let's celebrate!'
Yankee Stadium should not have it's hallowed name sullied by association with this ballpark. George and family, have the ballpark they've wanted. Let's call it what it is: Steinbrenner Park and Galleria.

Ty Cobb's 1911 Season: The Best in History?
There have been outstanding individual performances but the best one year season was Ty Cobb in 1911. Using as a reference the phenomenally thorough Baseball Reference. I chose 20 categories most indicitive of a player's ability. Cobb led the American League in 18 categories and the Majors in 17 of them. He came second twice and only in Home Runs did he lag by finishing 7th over all but second in the American League. And it's not like he was a big fish in a small pond. The American League also boasted Sam Crawford, Shoeless Joe Jackson, Tris Speaker, Eddie Collins and Frank(Home Run)Baker.
Cobb is one of the most maligned players due in large part to a bogus 'biography' by Al Stump, and refuted in Charles Leerhesen's book, A Terrible Beauty. He is arguably the best to ever the play the game. But one would hard put to argue that Cobb's 1911 season was the best year of any player.
