cwsox Posted May 13, 2003 Author Share Posted May 13, 2003 it is grand rapids and lansing pbs that I am watching, it is on both stations out of GVSU and MSU I just learned that in 1941 DiMaggio struck out a total of 13 or 16 times - whatever number it was, its astounding - good old Edgar Smith was featured giving up the first hit of the streak - really enjoying the show - check your local listings - this is good stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwsox Posted May 13, 2003 Author Share Posted May 13, 2003 I just learned - our friend Bill Veeck wanted to buy the Phillies and stock it with Negro League players and Commissioner Landis blocked that sale to Veeck and engineered a sale to an owner who would preserve all white baseball - didn't know of Veeck's role here!

Chisoxfn Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 Mcphails were very influential and overall Andy is supposedly a really great baseball guy and I think many would like him to be the next comissioner of baseball. Not sure if it will happen, but we know in a few years there will be a new commish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
