Nineteen Sixty One: December 2006

Frank Lary is off to a great start. If not for the Yankee set back, he would be 4 and 0. Speaking of 0, Frank fired his third shutout, and second seven hitter of the season against the Boston Red Sox. His other seven hitter and shutout was agaisnt the Chicago White Sox. He fashioned a two hit shutout against Cleveland in his second outing of the season. So in four starts, three by shutouts, and only three runs against the Yanks in 7 innings, Frankie has allowed only three earned runs in 34 innings of work. As Mel Allen would say..."How 'bout that!"...that's 0.79 folks.

Jim Gentile hit one over the fence and had 4 RBI and Milt Pappas completed the
game without help from the bullpen as the Baltimore Orioles clobbered the
outmatched Washington Senators, 19 to 2.

at their team's expense. He doubled in the 5th inning, doubled in the 7th
inning and lofted a three-run 'big-fly' (his 5th of the season) in the 8th
inning. Baltimore kept the scorekeepers busy in the 5th inning when they had
6 runs on 6 hits and the 8th inning which saw them plate 7 runs on 5 hits.
The Baltimore offense poured it on, scoring in 7 of the 9 innings.

Pappas(2-0), allowing 2 runs for the game, picked up the victory. Ed
Hobaugh(0-2) suffered the loss. He was unable to control the Baltimore

Dick Howser is showing off his offensive skills in the young season. Howser, a slick fielding base thief, is batting .500 so far and that leads the league. He has 25 hits in 50 at bats. Earl Battey is keeping it up as he drilled his 5th homer in three days to tie Roger Maris for the league leadership in that category. Battey is batting .440 over his last ten games. The White Sox rallied for three runs in the last two innings and beat the A's 7-6. They remain in the lead with their 9-2 mark. In other news, usually sure handed Brooks Robinson booted a ground ball that gave the Washington Senators the game in the bottom of the nineth...is that a "Walk off error"?

CHICAGO AT KANSAS CITY

Athletics....... 0 1 3 0 2 0 0 0 0 - 6 13 1
Win:Staley(1-0) Loss:Keegan(0-1)
Homeruns- N.Fox(1st), M.Minoso(3rd), A.Carey(1st)

Roy Sievers had 2 base hits at Municipal Stadium as the streaking Chicago
White Sox pulled off a dramatic comeback beating the Kansas City Athletics by
the count of 7 to 6.

Chicago came up with the deciding runs in the top of the 9th inning with 2
runs utilizing 3 base hits. Luis Aparicio led off and started the rally when
he doubled. After another out, Jim Landis came up and he hit a sacrifice fly
plating a run. Sievers then stroked a single. Rivera then stole second
base. Minnie Minoso stepped into the box and drew a walk. Al Smith kept the
inning going and smacked a single scoring the final run of the inning.
Kansas City had 13 hits in the game while Chicago had 10, but Chicago had the
more timely hits.

The win was credited to Gerry Staley(1-0) who went 2 innings allowing no runs.
Ed Keegan(0-1) was the losing pitcher in relief. He allowed 2 runs and 2
hits in 2/3 of an inning.

After the game, it took a long while before Joe Gordon emerged from his
office. In a subdued tone he answered only a couple of questions. He
concluded with, 'Fellows, sorry I'm not in a very talkative mood tonight, as
I think you'll understand. I'm sure you'll find the banter a lot more
light-hearted over in the Chicago locker room.'

Senators........ 1 0 0 3 0 0 0 0 1 - 5 5 0
Win:Sisler(1-1) Loss:Stock(0-2)

In a dramatic ending at Griffith Stadium the Washington Senators won in their
last at-bat beating the Baltimore Orioles by the count of 5 to 4.

The game was won by Washington with a run in the bottom of the 9th inning.
Jim King doubled. Joe Hicks followed, but he was set down on strikes. One
out later, Matty Keough stepped up to the plate and he was walked
intentionally. Wes Stock then threw a pitch that the catcher muffed. Chet
Boak stepped into the box and reached on an error giving Washington the
victory and sending the 6,725 home-town fans home happy. Washington won
despite being out-hit by Baltimore 8 hits to 5.

The victory went to Dave Sisler(1-1) who went 2 innings, allowing no runs.
Stock(0-2) was given the loss in relief. It was a tough loss for him as he
did not allow an earned run in his 1 and 2/3 innings of work.

The Washington ballclub's record now stands at 6-7. With the loss, Baltimore
has a record of 4-6 lately, 5-8 overall.

Homeruns- L.Green(1st), E.Battey(5th), P.Ramos(1st)

Lenny Green had 4 hits and 2 RBI and Pedro Ramos held Los Angeles to 3 hits at
Wrigley Field as the Minnesota Twins beat the Los Angeles Angels by the count
of 5 to 1.

Ramos(2-2) was indeed brilliant as he hand-cuffed the Los Angeles offense. He
allowed only 3 hits and 2 walks in 9 innings improving his ERA from 3.46 to
2.83. Minnesota managed 15 in their victory.

Ron Kline(0-2) was tagged with the loss. 'Ramos gave us exactly what we
needed tonight,' Sam Mele said. 'When he threw the fastball he threw it for
strikes. They were really fooled by his change. Most of the time he had
them chasing it.'

Well these three hit big homeruns on Thursday, but the funniest game was played on the "Corner" of Michigan and Trumbull. Maris hit his league leading 5th of the season and he is ahead of his pace...now at 74. Moose Skowron hit a walk off job, his third, to win it for Yanks...and "The Duke" of Earl had his second two homer day in a row. He is six for 9 with seven rbi and four dingers! Now lets get to that game in Detroit. Tigers took a 5-1 lead into the top of the 9th. Jim Bunning wasn't his best but he had enough gas to make it to the finish line...or so Bob Scheffing thought. The Bosox route him and a couple other relievers for six run and the Bostonians take a 7-5 advantage to the bottom of the nineth. Four relief pitchers later and three Tiger runs cross the plate and 8-7 Detroit win...their 8th on the season. Billy Bruton furnished the game winning single, hitting a sharpe grounder between short and third. Tigers find themselves still trailing the Chicago White Sox who are now 8 and two...Tigers are just a half game back.
