All right then, let's get
the show on the road

Will be facing A. J. Tucker

Cannonball rocks and fires
There's a towering fly ball hit by Tucker

Santop asks for a new ball
He calls time and trots out to the mound
A conference going on between
Santop and Redding

Making his way up is Pflaggstettler

He has a 2.81 ERA this year
Now he's ready
Here's the righthander's delivery
Curveball in the dirt
Swung on and missed...Strike three
Santop fumbles it,
but quickly recovers to tag Pflaggstettler
Redding sets the All Stars down in order

FOFC has taken the field
In the home-half of the first inning

Let's take a moment
To line up the visitors' defense...
In leftfield for FOFC this
afternoon is Ton...
with Tucker in center and
Pflaggstettler in right
Around the diamond, from third to first
It's Palmer, Nights, Treacy and Potpie...

The battery consists of
Williams on the mound
and Bullock behind the plate...

First batter for the Twos
will be Spotswood Poles
Stepping in and then stepping out again
Poles looks to third for a sign
Spotswood is set for the pitch
Williams brings it to the plate
Stroked to short

the on-deck circle

in the box
Digging that back foot in
Williams studies his sign
Williams brings it to the plate
Brown goes after Williams' fastball...
He gets under it a little...
But it is going way back in left-center
Ton is retreating after it quickly
He is right at the fence...
He goes up after it...
And brings it down in the webbing!
Willard just missed a homer on that one
Only a long out for the Negro
League II shortstop
Two down

Santop is up now for Negro League II
A base hit should score Poles
Bullock flashes the sign...
Williams shakes it off,
he wants another...

Now he's happy

John Williams holds the Twos
scoreless in the first

Jeeberoni Potpie stepping in
He will be the first batter for FOFC
We are in the top of the 2nd
We're scoreless
Potpie needs to get on...
He has a .375 on base percentage
Potpie waits for the pitch
His bat is coiled
The windup, the pitch
Hard slider...
Potpie swings from his heels...
He connects!...
There it goes...
Poles is up against the fence
But he has no chance for this shot
IT'S DOWNTOWN!!!
What a blast by Jeeberoni

FOFC third baseman, Deacon
Palmer, is up next

against righthanded pitchers
Waiting for the pitch is Palmer
The righthander delivers
Palmer raps a hard shot...
CAUGHT!
That ball was lined right at third
Marcelle just got his glove up in time
Great reflexes
That's one away

One out, nobody on base
K. A. Ton is the batter
Ton is one of the most feared sluggers
The right-hander Redding is
set to deliver to Ton
Bankhead comes in a couple steps
Yells something to Redding
The delivery
Ton swings
It's a drooper into shallow left field

in the order today

And that retires the side

The first baseman Wilson
will lead off for the Twos

Past the infield into center for a single!
That was a difficult ball to handle

Bankhead moves away from first base...
He has 6 stolen bases on the season

He's not getting a very good lead

And it brings up Oliver Marcelle
On deck is Pete Hill
Cannonball Redding in the hole
Williams shakes off two signs
Now he's ready
Williams checks Bankhead on first...
The 2-1 delivery
Screaming liner towards second

After 2 innings in Negro League

when facing righthanded pitching

Two more to go

Williams finishes his practice swings
Now he strides to the batter's box
Redding toes the rubber again
He gets his sign from Santop

the mound toward second
Gives the resin bag a toss
Now he toes the rubber...

Yes sir! Tucker will have himself a single
And he extends his hitting streak
to 15 games!
1 for 2 on the afternoon

Jeff Nights will get a crack
at Redding next
Persimmon Pflaggstettler
would be up next...
But only if Nights can reach safely
Nights goes through his routine
of settling in
Redding steps on the rubber...
Looks in for the sign
Redding goes into his stretch...
Looks over at Tucker
Fires to Wilson...
Tucker is back easily...

We're ready again

The Twos will send
Hill, Cannonball Redding,
and Spotswood Poles up
to the plate this inning
Williams steps on the rubber
The lefthander winds and delivers
Slider, inside corner of the plate...
Swung on...
Slashed over the infield...
Single for Hill...
He takes a big turn and holds up

Potpie and Hill are cracking up
Joe Carter must've told 'em a good joke
We'll have to ask what it
was after the game

Cannonball Redding squares to bunt
And lays it down right to Deacon Palmer
Palmer looks at second
But passes up a possible force play
He fires to first to retire Redding
But Hill moves up

it to first for the out

right-handed against the
lefty John Williams

Willie Randolph is giving
the green light...

A slider by Williams
Brown gets good wood on it...
Tucker back-pedals quickly...
Up with his glove...
Out!
The side is retired
One run, 2 hits, no errors
and one man left on base
Time for a break, just in
time, by the way as
I've just been handed a ballpark hotdog
As Humphrey Bogart once said
A hotdog at the ballpark is better than
steak at the Ritz

Santop fires the ball down to Brown
He starts it around the infield
To Bankhead, Wilson

it over to Redding

face the righthander
Here we go in the top of the 4th

Now Pflaggstettler has to zone
in on this next offering
Will Dick Howser give him the hit sign?
He brings it home
The batter checks his swing
Here's the appeal
Pflaggstettler held up, and draws a walk

curve all the way in

that just caught
the inside corner of the plate

Even though I have a crappy record compared to my starter best ERA, all you have to do is look at the 144 baserunners in 121 innings to see I really can't blame anyone but myself.

Need to pick it up after two subpar performances ("Left in too long or not in that game, it's not your job to get outs for me, skip.")

Actually, your WHIP rating isn't too bad at 1.19

In fact, here are the WHIP ratings for the whole team...

Kronside - 1.19
S. Knowles - 1.13
Fozborg - 1.38
Mighty - 1.19
Babson - 1.07
Rodney - 1.15
Nielsen - 1.26
Williams - 1.43
B Knowles - 1.46
Hunter - 1.49


And here is how we compair to some of the greatest ever...

Grove - 1.13
W. Johnson - 1.06
Clemens - 1.20
R. Johnson - 1.27
Seaver - 1.44
Koufax - 1.09
Alexander - 1.36
Mathewson - 1.24


Believe me...I have no problem with our pitching. The All-Star tabulations are not quite finished, but we might end up with 6 pitchers on the team...

The All-Star Series will be played soon (I actually have to create a new league for the teams, which will take me a little while). In my world, the All-Star game is a big deal and will be a 2 out of 3 series (that way I can utilize more pitchers). Hopefully, I'll have time to announce the teams tonight...

I started putting the league together for the All-Star game last night, but I didn't get finsihed.

Both of my boys have baseball games tonight (at different parks no-less), and they have basketball tryouts (interesting considering my recently turned 7 year old just learned to dribble and my 5 year old isn't much bigger than a regulation ball), but regardless, I'm going to be a bit busy tonight.

I'll try to get the All-Star information posted Friday (assuming I don't drink too many Black and Tans or Half and Halfs to type coherently )

In case you are wondering, I didn't select the All-Star teams. I did make one adjustment, however. I felt there was no need to have 12 pitchers, so on both teams, I reduced that number by 1 and added in an extra player.

All Star Selections are Head Scratchers
By Stan Hack

As is the case each year with the All-Star game, there players that you feel should be on the team and aren’t and players that make the team and don’t think they should…and not only is this year no exception – it might just be one of the epitome of head stratching.

Let’s start by taking a look at the American League. The most disturbing selection for the team in my opinion is Harmon Killebrew. The “Killer” is hitting a robust .231, and even though he is known for his power; he only has 13 homers for the season. That puts him in 3 way tie for second on his own team, and it's only half of the number the league leaders have.

What is also extremely disturbing is the fact that Harmon’s been playing first base much more often for the Post Americans than third. Third has been manned by George Brett, who hasn’t been overly affective either; hitting just .246 with 10 home runs. But I would argue that .246 with 10 home runs and good glove trumps .231 with 13 home runs and a terrible glove any day.

The truth of the matter is that the Thirdbase position isn’t a strong one in the American League. The other selection at this position, “Home Run” Baker , isn’t exactly tearing the cover off of the ball at: .307 7 53, but because it’s such a weak position, I can’t argue with this selection. Willie Wells, who made the team as a Utility player and in essence a backup SS, is the starting 3b for the Negro League Ones and is probably the best player at third in the league at .317 7 43. Wells should have been selected as a third baseman, which would have allowed the team to get another SS…

Which leads us to Robin Yount, .307 3 31. Not terrible numbers, especially for a guy who bats leadoff, but not overwhelming either. The biggest issue is that the other main options Pops Lloyd and Joe Cronin are very similar in production. I’m not sure the Old Timers SS might not have been the choice, but there isn’t enough production at that position on that team either to get worked up over. In fact, I think Yount was selected because he can also give you good defense in Centerfield.

Honestly, the best solution for this line of reasoning in my opinion would have been to remove Killebrew from the team, keep Wells as a Utility player giving innings at both SS and 3b as needed, still have another SS, Yount, Cronin, Lloyd, etc. (your choice – I really don’t care enough to argue) and I would probably add Rod Carew.

Rod Carew is one player that really did deserve to be on the team. They guy is hitting .369. His homerun numbers (2) and RBI (14) are a bit misleading, because he bats leadoff and he missed about 15 games with an injury. He has scored 40 runs in 59 games, and that is a better indication of how good he’s been for the Post- Americans. Oh, and did I mention he’s on the same team as Killebrew?

Another example very similar to Killebrew is Saduharu Oh. Oh is batting only .241, but he at least is delivering in the power department, with 26 home runs. That power total, combined with the fact, that most of the American League first baseman are terrible (with the exception of Lou Gehrig), and the fact he is the only representative from the woeful Japanese team, probably justify his selection. Of course it could be argued that Ed Delehante should be considered a first baseman, which would open an outfield spot for one of numerous deserving players, including:

Al Simmons - .315 12 42
“Shoeless” Joe Jackson - .355 2 52 and 21 stolen bases
Kirby Puckett - .321 12 30

and in my opinion, the most glaring oversight…

”Cool Papa” Bell - .349 4 39 and 44 stolen bases

As I mentioned above Saduharu Oh is the only Japanese player on the roster. Someone please explain to me how Kaz Inao isn’t on the roster. Sure the guy has a losing record at 4 and 7, but his ERA is only 2.45, which is better than EVERY pitcher on the AL team. In addition, his 4 and 7 record is a win percentage of .364, not great, until you consider the team he plays for his barely above a .250 win percentage – when that’s taken into account his season looks award winning.

Other players that could have been on this team but didn’t make it, include:

Mike Piazza - .291 9 31 – might have made it if he hadn’t split time with Gary Carter earlier in the season.
Satch Paige 7 – 7 3.27
King Kelly - .312 3 27 and 17 stolen bases from a Catcher/ Utility Man
Mickey Welch - 8 – 5 4.00

I’ll go over the National League in Part 2.

All Star Selections are Head Scratchers – Part 2
By Stan Hack

The National League, just like the American League has some issues with their roster. While there are some glaring issues, I don’t feel the problems are quite as bad, mostly because the NL team doesn’t have anyone hitting below .245.

In fact, my biggest issue with the National League is the pitching staff. 9 of the 11 pitchers on the staff come off of 2 teams. Of course they are the best two teams in the league, but regardless, there is no way 9 of 11 all star pitchers in a 7 team league should come from just 2 teams.

Ironically, I’m going to also admit that every pitcher selected for the team from the FOFCers deserves to be there. This is not an attempt to cozy up to the manager of the National League Squad Benton Breeze, it’s an affirmation that the pitching on that team has been phenomenal and compared to the rest of the league, dominating. The group of Nielsen, Mighty and Babson have been a force at the top of the rotation, and Kronside and Sammy Knowles have slammed the door on a regular basis. All 5 of the FOFCers are in the top of the league for ERA (of course the relievers don’t have enough innings pitched to qualify, but their ERAs are around 1.60).

If I’m ok with the 5 pitchers from the FOFC team, then clearly it’s the Post Nationals I have a problem with, and that problem doesn’t lie with Tom Seaver 8 and 1 3.44 or Sandy Koufax 8 and 2 3.50. The problem is that Juan Marichal and Bob Gibson are on the team. Yes, both have impressive records 10 and 6 and 7 and 2 respectively, but that is more to do with the explosive offensive team they play for than it is an indication of how well they have pitched. The ERA for both is almost exactly 5.00. Now I realize their workloads increased when Seaver was down for awhile with a sore shoulder, but that isn’t enough in my opinion to get them on the team. Those two spots should probably go to 2 of:

Christy Matthewson - 7 and 7 3.65
Amos Rusie - 6 and 2 3.52
Dizzy Dismukes 2 and 3 2.81 and 9 saves
Jimmy Williams 7 and 1 3.66 (and yes I know this would be another FOFCer on the roster, but for crying out loud he deserves it more than the guys that are on the team.)

On the hitting side, there really aren’t as many complaints. The only spots where I see arguments can be made are with Goose Goslin .300 13 43, Joe Morgan .264 14 31 and 27 stolen bases, and Pie Traynor .287 7 47.

All 3 are playing well, but arguments could be made for others at the same position. For Morgan and second base, any one could argue the virtues of Antonio Pacheco, Frankie Frisch, Martin DiHigo, or Sam Bankhead, but I believe the power and speed get Morgan the nod here, and the batting averages of the other players aren’t appreciably better than Morgans.

In the Outfield, Goslin is playing well, but what about Stan Musial .351 18 46? I believe Musial was penalized because he has spent most of the season at first base, but his ability to play outfield should have been considered and he should have been on this roster.

The biggest offensive oversight in my opinion comes at Thirdbase. Traynor is playing well, but Eddie Matthews is destroying the ball at a .286 26 50 clip. This is the one that really makes me scratch my head…not only are these numbers better than Traynor, they are also better than the other 3Bman Jud Wilson .274 10 42. Matthews is clearly the best at this position and yet he’ll be watching 2 others play in the All-Star game..

AL All Star Manager Press Conference

MC: Everyone…As you know, the Old Timers lead the American League by half a game over the Negro League Ones, and by virtue of that fact, Manager Billie Barnie will be coaching the 3 game series. Mr. Barnie is now available to field your questions.

David Duntz: Coach Barnie, What made you decide to go with Walter Johnson to start the first game?

Barnie: Are you kidding? Have you seen him pitch? Look it’s pretty simple, he’s the best there is.

Stan Hack: Did the fact the National League is right handed hitting heavy factor into the decision?

Barnie: Not really. It didn’t hurt things, but Walter gets everyone out, lefties, righties….EVERYONE! And I expect he’ll get the Nationals lineup out too.

John Bland: You seem pretty confident in Johnson’s ability, is there anyone in the National League lineup that scares you?

Barnie: Foxx is always a concern, but even as good as he is, he wouldn’t be able to crack our starting lineup, unless I put him butcher things at third so I could get his bat in the order. Other than that…let me think…the top 2 guys in the order are dangerous, especially Wagner, who can do so much if he gets on base. The rest are nice players, some have some power, but they don’t overly concern me.

Stan Hack: You mentioned the National League being right handed hitting heavy didn’t factor into your decision to pitch Johnson, on the flip side, your team is very left handed hitting heavy and you are going against a good lefty in Rob Nielsen, was there any concern about using all those left handed batters or consideration into using different players to get more righties in the lineup?

Barnie: Nope, no concern at all. The lefties we have in the lineup aren’t your typical lefties. I mean, come on, we are talking Cobb, Ruth, Gehrig, Williams, and Collins. They don’t just hit right handed pitchers, they hit everything thrown up to plate, and they hit it hard. I expect they will do the same tonight. As for Nielsen, he started the season off extremely fast, but he hasn’t pitched particularly well lately, so I feel pretty comfortable in predicting we are going to hammer him pretty good tonight. Also, it’s not like we don’t have any right handed hitters in the lineup. Gibson is as powerful as anyone, and Ripkin is playing well and Wells is a nice player….

Now that I think about it, I will admit I did make 1 change to address the left handed opposing pitcher, I not only started Wells at 3b over Baker, I put him second in the lineup ahead of Collins so I wouldn’t start the game with 4 left handed batters. But that was the only change.

Stan Hack: So there were no other considerations to work in more righties?

Barnie: I took a look at Delehante, but who am I going to sit down, Cobb who’s hitting almost .400? Ruth hitting in the .330s with 20 plus homers, Williams who’s hitting about as good as Ed but with more power, or Gehrig who is playing better than Williams? No, I didn’t have much to consider.

Paul Pride: Any concern with Williams’ indifferent play in the field costing you runs?

Barnie: None. He’ll out produce what he costs us by his poor defensive play.

David Duntz: So no plans for defensive substitutions?

Barnie: I’ll have to see how the game unfolds. I’m not going into the game planning to pull Ted, or anyone else for that matter, if we have a lead after a certain number of innings.

Paul Pride: Any idea who your main pinch hitters will be?

Barnie: I don’t expect we’ll need any. I might use some late in the game if I’m going to pull my pitcher, but I don’t expect to NEED to use a pinch hitter.

John Bland: Have you decided on a starter for Games 2 and 3?

Barnie: I’ll use Grove in game 2 and I’d be surprised if there was a game 3, so I haven’t thought about who might get that start.


***things go quite for a while***

MC: Any more questions?

***no response****

MC: Ok. Thank you, Mr. Barnie. I have been told that Benton is on his way down and should be here shortly to answer your questions.

ALL STAR GAME – NATIONAL LEAGUE MANAGER PRESS CONFERENCE

MC: Everyone…If I can have your attention please. Coach Breeze is now available to answer questions.

Stan Hack: Coach, when the season started did you expect to be here today?

Benton: No, I didn’t expect to be here. I felt like we had a pretty good team, but I certainly didn’t think we’d have the best record in the National League…or really, the best record in baseball at the break. It’s a great honor and a testament to our players and how hard they have worked.

Ken Simpleton: You didn’t think about being able to manage the All-Star game, even after the fantastic start you got off to?

Benton: Nope. The teams in this league are too good to think you are going to run away and hide. It didn’t take too long for Posters to run us down.

John Bland: Benton, Coach Barnie said that he was pretty confident that Walter Johnson would be able to shut down your lineup.

Benton: I would be too..

*audience laughs*

Really, Walter is a dominating pitcher, and we aren’t helped by the absence of some lefties having good years. I could really use Musial and Matthews tonight.

David Duntz: So you are concerned about the lack of left handed bats?

Benton: I like the guys I’ve got in the lineup…don’t misunderstand or misinterpret what I’m saying…but it would be nice to have two accomplished players like Musial and Matthews for a game against a right handed pitcher who’s as good as Johnson is.

Stan Hack: Why Nielsen in the first game?

Benton: You guys know Rob right?

*nods*

Well, if I hadn’t started him in the first game, he would have given me hell the rest of the year…

*more laughs*

But seriously, look at the numbers. Nielsen’s what…10 and 4, who else was I going to start. I have my other 2 starters and 4 guys from the Posters, Pete Alexander, and Mendez. There lineup is predominately left handed hitters so if you figure I want to go with a lefty that leaves me Nielsen, Mighty and Koufax. Nielsen has the best record of those 3 and his ERA is lower than Koufax’s. I think he’s earned the start.

Paul Pride: Barnie said Nielsen hasn’t been pitching well lately, does that concern you and did you consider that when you made your decision on who will start tonight?

Benton: I thought about it a little, and you’re right, Rob hasn’t pitched as well lately as he did early in the season, but I think his numbers are just about the same as Johnson’s if not slightly better. So if he isn’t pitching well, I guess Johnson’s not pitching well either.

Stan Hack: Tell us about the lineup…

Benton: Well we start off with Wagner, and I just decided he was a better fit for what we needed in this game than Banks was. Wagner is a table setter and he has the ability to create runs, so I liked him in the leadoff spot. Plus I felt Banks would serve better as a right handed hitting pinch hitter. LaJoie is second. He’s just hitting too good. Morgan would give me a left handed bat, and some explosiveness, but he isn’t as consistent, but don’t count him out, he might end up with plenty of playing time before this game is over. Ott’s third. I need a left handed bat in the middle of the order and Ott is playing great ball this season. Foxx is cleanup, and why not, he’s as good as anyone. Mays plays center and bats fifth. Jud Wilson is sixth at third. I honestly thought about putting Ott at third, but I don’t really have another lefty to put in the outfield so this way I get two left handed bats in the lineup. I would expect if we get a lead that Wilson will be pulled for a defensive replacement. Clemente gives me a cannon in right and a good contact guy, and Santop is my left handed hitting platoon at the catcher spot.

Paul Pride
: So no left handed hitting outfielders?

Benton: I have Goslin, but I didn’t think that was much of an upgrade. Plus I really need another left handed bat off the bench. If worse comes to worse I’ll use Pflaggsettler like a left handed batter. He really hits righties more like a lefty anyway.

Stan Hack: On paper it looks like the American League is much better than your team, do you feel you have an advantage, “on paper” anywhere?

Benton: (scratching his chin): Interesting question. I think in general our pitching is on par with there’s, but an actual advantage on paper….hmmm….

*pause*

Oh, sure…the bullpen. Kronside and Knowles are as good as anyone and are actual closers. I don’t know that they have a true closer on the back end.

AL ALL STAR PRESS CONFERENCE

MC: Mr Barnie is available to answer questions.

Stan Hack: With a lead in the series will anything change in your strategy in game 2?

Barnie: Why should it, we dominated the game last night and we'll do it again tonight.

David Duntz: Was there any point during the game where you were concerned that the NLers would make a move?

Barnie: I had complete confidence in Johnson, so No, I was not concerned.

Paul Pride: So it will be Grove tonight?

Barnie: Yes. And the rest of the lineup will remain the same.

Paul Pride: Being left handed do you think he'll have more trouble with the RH hitting Nationals?

Barnie: No. I think he'll dominate as well.

*pause*

Ok, he might struggle a bit more...he may end up giving up 2 runs.

*things go quiet*

Barnie, not waiting on the MC: Any more questions?

*silence*

Barnie walks out of the room.

NL ALL STAR PRESS CONFERENCE

MC: Coach Benton Breeze is now ready to field questions

Benton quips: Fielding...that's one thing we did well last night.

Paul Pride: Coach, you felt pretty good Nielsen would pitch well last night, but he didn't, why?

Benton: You know what...I though he pitched pretty good until the what...6th inning, when he got upset with the umps call on a pitch and sort of lost his mind.

Stan Hack: So Nielsen got upset with the umpire?

Benton: You couldn't tell?

*Hack shakes his head no*

Benton: Yeah, he felt his strike zone was being squeezed.

John Bland: Did you think he was being squeezed?

Benton: I'm not going to get into officiating issues...but look at the box score and you tell me what you think.

David Duntz: When Nielsen got upset should you have pulled him?

Benton: Yes...I visited the mound to try and calm him down, but he isn't the easiest person to reach when he gets hot. I though he had it under control, but obviously he didn't. As it turns out, the 2 runs he gave up in that inning wouldn't have affected the outcome of the game, because we never over came the 3 he gave up early.

Stan Hack: Who's going to the hill tonight?

Benton: Koufax...I'm going to try the lefty thing again.

Hack: Does that mean Mighty will go in game 3 if there is a game 3?

Benton: No, I need him to have a lefty in the pen. If we get to a game 3 it will probably be Seaver's ball.

Duntz: What will you have to do to force a game 3?

Benton: A good start would be to hold them to less than 2+ baserunners an inning, and the best to keep that from happening is not to issue so many free passes. In all actuality we did great to hold them to 5 runs. Did you see how many baserunners they had...and they ended up leaving what 13 or 14on base?

Hack: 14

Benton: Ok, 14 - so we could have easily given up double diget runs if we hadn't made good pitches at crucial times.


Stan Hack: Any changes in your lineup with Grove starting for the AL?

Benton: Sure...we will probably go with the same two at the top of the order, but I'm probably going to use Foxx at 3b and put Potpie at first, and I'll probably use Joe Kelley in Left, but I'm not completely sure...and of course Gonzalez will start behind the plate with Santop injured.

Pride: How badly hurt is Santop?

Benton: Not bad. In fact, if this were a divisional game and his team was fighting for the playoffs, he'd gut it out, but no reason to here. He'll be ready to roll when the season starts up again. In fact, if we push a game 3 he might even be ok for that.

Guys, I don't want to be rude, but I really need to get to the locker room to discuss our lineup with the other coaches. As I mentioned above, I haven't finalized my plans yet and I want their opinions.

*Benton exits the room*

ALL STAR - GAME 2 - RADIO BROADCAST

Welcome everyone to the ballpark
The players are on the field
and we're almost ready to go
As Honus Wagner prepares to face Grove
let's check out the American
League defense
At first base is Gehrig
Wells is down at the hot corner
Collins and Ripken
are at second and short, respectively
From left to right... Williams,
Cobb and Ruth
and now Gibson is just
settling in behind the plate
The All Stars' southpaw winds and delivers
A hanging curve...
Wagner laces it hard just
to the right of Wells
He makes a stab at it...
Just misses it!
It's on into the outfield for a single
A wide turn by Honus...
but he'll stay at first
as the ball comes in

Lefty Grove watches Wagner
As he moves away from the bag
Grove steps away from the mound...
Now Wagner moves back to first
He's not getting far from the bag

Settling in at the plate is Kelley
Grove tosses the resin bag aside
He steps on the rubber...
The pitch on the way, here it is...
Kelley swings and lifts one toward left
Williams drifts over slowly...
He is under it now...
And makes the easy catch...
One away in the top of the
1st for National League

National League second baseman,
Nap Lajoie, is up next
Lajoie wiggles the bat above his head
Lajoie is set in the batter's box
He's staring intently out at Grove
He's waiting for the pitch
The pitch to Lajoie...
Base hit to right for Lajoie
Wagner is being waved to third...
The throw is cut off...
That holds Lajoie at first

Jimmie Foxx steps into the box
Grove wastes no time
He has the sign from Gibson
And the delivery by Grove
The pitch is off the glove of Gibson
He's after it
He's up with it...
Wagner with the hook slide
Safe at home!
Gibson is charged with a passed ball
Tough break for Lefty Grove

Jimmie Foxx steps into the box
Foxx digs in from the right side
of the plate against the southpaw Grove
Grove steps off the rubber...
Adjusts his cap...
Now he's ready
Collins comes in a couple steps
Yells something to Grove
The delivery
Foxx rips one on the ground
It's a 'daisy cutter' to Ripken
Cal fields it cleanly
Looks Lajoie back to second
Now fires it over to first...
Easy out
And there's two away

Making his way up is Mays
A base hit should score Lajoie
Grove looks down at Gibson for the sign...
Shakes him off once... twice
Now he has the pitch he wants
He brings it home
That one is a grass cutter towards short
Ripken fronts it...
OOPS! It takes a big hop!
Cal manages to come up with it
on the heel of his glove
Rolls the ball into his free hand
On to first
It is off target...
Gehrig one hops it into his glove
Out!
Gehrig can't get out of the way
and Willie runs right into him
Nice play as that ball was thrown
on the rightfield side of the bag
Lucky the collision didn't hurt anyone
After one-half inning
It's National League 1, All
Stars coming to bat

Here we go in the bottom half
of the first inning...

Setting up the defense for National League
Kelley will start in left
Mays gets the nod in center
The rightfielder is Clemente...
Around the infield
Foxx will start at third base
Wagner is at shortstop
Lajoie at the keystone
And over at first, Potpie...
Sandy Koufax is out on the mound
and Gonzalez is behind home plate

Up first for the All Stars
will be Ty Cobb
We'll see how they pitch to Cobb
Koufax eyes Cobb intently
The southpaw Koufax's delivery
on the 3-1 pitch
Sinking fastball...
Cobb swings...
Raps a hard ground ball
right at Wagner...
He snares it easily, throws to first...
Out by a step
And there's one away

Walking up now to the plate is Wells
Wells can't seem to get
settled at the plate
He's ready
Here's his delivery
Wells chases the high fastball...
Hammers a LONG towering drive...
Hit to deep left center...
HOME RUN... WAY, WAY OUTTA HERE!
A big blast by Wells!

The "Sultan of Swat" is
coming to the plate
Ruth needs to get on...
He has a .400 on base percentage
Koufax has the sign from Gonzalez
Here's the southpaw's delivery
Fastball...
Ruth jumps all over it...
It's juiced to deep right
There goes Clemente after it
Racing hard...
He dives...
And he's got it!!!
Beautiful play by Roberto Clemente!
That's two away
Wagner comes over from his shortstop
position to say a few words to Koufax
Lou Gehrig will be next up...

Larrupin' Lou is up next
Gehrig swinging from the left side
facing the southpaw Koufax
Koufax shakes off the sign by Gonzalez
We have Sandy Koufax and Lefty Grove
matched up in this one as we play
in the bottom of the first
The southpaw's 3-0 delivery
Gehrig starts... but lays
off the pitch upstairs
Ball four, Koufax walks him

Gibson gets set at the plate
Koufax looks down at Gonzalez for the sign

Now he's ready...
Koufax quick pitches the 0-2 offering
Big slow curve...
And it's in there, strike three

But especially not late in the game

Collins up
The All Stars have Ripken on first
The outfield's shaded towards right
With Collins at the plate
Collins waits
Here's the righthander's delivery
Collins chases the sinker...
Lines a hit into center...
Ripken's not slowing at all
Rounds second heading to third...
Mays throws in to Lajoie
covering second...
Ripken is in at third without a play

Up for the All Stars will
be Ed Delahanty...
He'll pinch hit for Bullet Joe Rogan
Ty Cobb is due to follow

Ed Delahanty will face Kronside
Righty against righty
Right-hander Kronside prepares
for the pitch
to the right-handed swinging Delahanty
Jace rocks and fires
Delahanty flies out to right
The 3rd base coach puts
up the stop sign...
Runner holds.

Ty Cobb steps into the box
Kronside has the sign from Gonzalez
A check on the runners... the pitch
The pitch is way inside
It gets away from Gonzalez
Ripken is coming hard
Gonzalez fires to Kronside
And Ripken barrels Jace over
He dropped the ball!
Both runners advanced on that wild pitch
Now, National League leads 11 to 4

Ty Cobb steps into the box
Kronside looks down at Gonzalez
for the sign

Now he's ready...
The righthander delivers
Curveball, in and low
Cobb hits it to Potpie at first
Takes it cleanly...
Races to the bag...
It's going to be close...
And...
Out is the call
That could have gone either way
Collins is now perched over at third
Two gone for American League
Time is running out for them

Kronside looks down at
Wells as he steps in
Willie is ready to go
Wells is 2 for 4 today
Willie grounded out last time around
Jace is ready
Kronside fires
Inside slider, on the fists...
Swung on and clubbed to left-center...
Kelley backing up quickly...
Not quick enough, it's over his head!
He's got to chase it down...
Wells is heading for third...
Kelley has it and wings
it back in to Traynor
Wells hits the deck, a good slide...
Wells is in there
Traynor can't make the tag...
Collins scored easily on the hit

The All Stars' right fielder is up next
American League has 1 on board with 2 outs
We'll see how they pitch to Ruth
Kronside steps on the rubber
Kronside's righthanded delivery...
Grounded towards the hole
Outstanding play by Lajoie!
His throw to first
GOT HIM!
Score It: 4-3
And that will do it for American League
National League wins 11 to 5
Koufax gets credit for the win
Grove takes the loss
The hitting star for National League
was Jeeberoni Potpie
He was 5 for 5 with a homerun
He also knocked in 3 runs
And that wraps things up
So long from American League.

AL All Star Manager Press Conference


MC: Everyone, we have just gotten work that Mr. Barnie will not be taking part in this press conference. He has instead sent the following announcement...

We are very disappointed in our play last night and we are taking steps to improve our effort and hopefully results. I haven't determined what, if any changes will be made to our lineup, and I haven't determined who my starter is going to be. With that in mind, I felt there was no need for me to attend the press conference, because I woudln't have any answers for you.

NL All Star Manager Press Conference

MC: Coach Breeze is here...

Paul Pride: Were you surprised by how well your guys played last night?

Benton: I don't know if surprised is the word. I was certainly pleased.

Stan Hack: Coach, yesterday, you mentioned you would probably use Seaver in this start if it got to a game 3, because you would need Mighty to give you a lefty out of the pen. You haven't used Mighty yet and it's the last game. You still planning to start Seaver?

Benton: No, I will start Mighty. I've already informed Barnie of the change.

David Duntz: You could get critisized if he doesn't perform, because he's on your team and Seaver is 8 and 1 on the season.

Benton: I know that, but I like our chances better is we throw a lefty against that lineup. Mighty will be on a short leash. No reason to wear him out or make him overwork. It's the last game of the series. So Seaver could be in early.

Stan Hack: Is Mighy ok, with the short leash thing?

Benton: I think he was ok with it. I let him know, but you'd really need to ask him.

Paul Pride: What about your lineup?

Benton: I'm not sure who he's starting, but I can tell you that Foxx will be at 3b and Potpie will be at first. Jeebs went 5 for 5 for cryiing out loud. If he can continue to play well and Wagner can do like he did last game...we've got a shot to win this thing...

ALL STAR - GAME 3 - RADIO BROADCAST

Welcome to the ballpark!
And in a moment we'll be ready
for the game between
National League and American League
So folks, pull up a chair
and spend part of your evening with us
The ump shouts "PLAY BALL!"
We're ready to go here in National League
Ty Cobb to lead it off for American League
The lefthander delivers
Cobb pops one straight up
And it will be Lajoie making the play
One up, one down here in
the top of the 1st

Wells leaves the on-deck circle...
He's going back to get a new bat...
Now he jogs to the plate
Wells swinging from the right side
of the plate against the lefty Mighty
The bat is cocked

Grounded through the infield
into left field
Base hit for Ott

Unusual for the power hitter
But with Clemens on the mound
it is understandable

of that breaking ball
He had Foxx way out in front

start of the season

Lifted in the air, back this way
The catcher, Santop, will
take it for the out
1-2-3, nothing across...

Clemente up now to lead off
Clemente is at .375 on the season
Clemente gets ready for Clemens' pitch
His bat is cocked

Strike three
Ripken didn't have a good
cut at that pitch
National League gets the first
out of the inning

Here comes the American League second
baseman, Eddie Collins
Most believe he has quite a future
Collins scuffs up the lines around the box

And waits patiently for Mighty's pitch

Two up, two down here in
the top of the 3rd

What? No comments on the All-Star game?

Actually, just wanted to let you know, I'm going to be out of town for a while, so this dynasty will be on hold until I return next week.

GAME 79 - June 25th - Radio Broadcast


Welcome to FOFC Stadium!
And in a moment we'll be ready
for the game between
FOFC and NL Pre WWII
The ump shouts "PLAY BALL!"
We're ready to go here in FOFC
Frankie Frisch to lead it
off for NL Pre WWII
The southpaw's 3-0 delivery
Frisch starts... but lays
off the pitch upstairs
Ball four, Nielsen walks him

The headsy and classy third baseman,
Pie Traynor, is coming up to bat
Frisch takes his lead
Hays flashes the sign to Nielsen
Nielsen brings it to the plate
Traynor swings
It is popped down the line
Fouts is giving chase
The ball is drifting foul
Fouts dives
Got it!

Hornsby is up now for NL Pre WWII
FOFC is set up for two
Nielsen squeezes the resin bag...
Peers in
Nielsen fires
Hornsby rips a line shot
to the second baseman
OUT!
Blade didn't have to move!
One blink and that would have
been past him!
Frisch stays put
That's two away

Ott leaves the on-deck circle
And heads to the batter's box
Left-hander Rob Nielsen prepares
for the pitch
to the left-handed swinging Ott
The lefty Nielsen delivers
Swung on...and hit way, way up
Under it is Hays...and he's got it
So that's it for NL Pre WWII
They fail to score against Nielsen
In the top of the 1st for NL Pre WWII
No runs, no hits, no errors
and one man left on base

NL Pre WWII has taken the field
in the bottom of the first inning...

Here's how they look, defensively
In the outfield
Medwick will play left
Cuyler in center
Ott in right...
Around the diamond
Traynor will play the hot corner
Frisch and Hornsby
Make up the doubleplay combination...
Over at first Terry
And a battery of Carl Hubbell
and Hartnett behind the plate
First batter for the All Stars
A. J. Tucker steps in
A. J. tucks in his shirt, jiggles his butt
Now checks with the coach at third
Tucker waits for the delivery
The lefthander delivers
Screaming liner towards short
Frisch makes a great catch!
Score It: 6
One up, one down

And it brings up Jeff Nights
On deck is Gerald Gazelle
Jeeberoni Potpie in the hole
Stepping in and then stepping out again
Nights looks to third for a sign
Hubbell steps on the rubber
The southpaw's 2-1 delivery
Sinking fastball...
Nights swings...
Raps a hard ground ball
right at Frisch...
He snares it easily, throws to first...
Out by a step
Two down
Hartnett asks for a new ball
He calls time and trots out to the mound
A conference going on between
Hartnett and Hubbell

Gazelle coming up for FOFC
Nobody on, two away
Gazelle has managed a .291 average
against lefthanders this year
Hubbell adjusts his cap...
Now he's set
The southpaw Hubbell's delivery
Letterhigh, hard slider...
Swung on...
It's a line drive belted toward Frisch
It's by him...
Medwick comes in...
Plays it off his chest
Recovers quickly, throwing into second
Good defensive recovery
Keeping Gazelle to a single

Two out, Gazelle at first
Coming up is Jeeberoni Potpie
Potpie has a .234 average
against lefthanders
He is .286 overall
Set now is Potpie
It's a 3-2 count
Here comes the pay-off pitch...
Potpie drives the ball to
center for extra bases
Dick Howser is giving the green light...
The throw is coming home...
Kiki Cuyler throws the ball
away for an error!
Double for Potpie

The third baseman, Dan Fouts, is up next
Fouts can't seem to get
settled at the plate
The bat is cocked
Hubbell brings it to the plate
There's a jam shot off the hands of Fouts
It's a routine catch of the soft
liner by Rogers Hornsby
That's it for FOFC
Here at FOFC Stadium, After 1 inning,
FOFC has one run, 2 hits and no errors
While NL Pre WWII has no runs,
no hits and one error
FOFC has left 1 on base
NL Pre WWII has stranded 1

Kiki Cuyler, Joe Medwick, and
Gabby Hartnett are due up
Cuyler digs in from the right side
of the plate against the southpaw Nielsen
Cuyler cocks his bat
Here's the 3-1 pitch
Curveball, inside corner, low...
Swung on...
And lined to left for a base hit
No chance to get that one

Planting his right foot
Medwick is set in the box...

The infield shifts slightly to the left
for the right hand hitting Medwick
Joe checks with the third base coach
Takes a few practice swings...

Now he steps into the box
Medwick awaits the delivery
The pitch is on the way
There's a hard grounder down at Nights
He's in front of it...
But he muffs it!
Error on Jeff Nights
as that ball just ate him up!
It crawled right up his arms
and clipped him in the chin

Hartnett squares
He bunts the ball . . .
Fielded by D.Fouts
the throw to first...
Out
Hartnett gets the job done.
That's one away

While Carl Hubbell heads
for the on deck circle
Bill Terry makes his way to the plate
Terry a lefty in the batter's box
facing the lefthanded Nielsen
A battle of lefties...
Terry in the hole, 0-2
Nielsen kicks and fires
Terry is waiting
Bill need wait no more... he's outta here
Just another victim of Nielsen's
breaking ball
That's out number two
All Stars' pitching coach, Sal Maglie,
is out to talk with Nielsen

Carl Hubbell, the NL Pre WWII pitcher,
steps into the batter's box
FOFC ahead 1 to 0
He has a chance here to drive
home at least one
A single could plate two runs
Nielsen is having a fine year so far
His 10 victories make him
2nd in the league in that category
Now he's about ready
Nielsen checks the runners
Here's the 0-2 offering
Grounded to second
Blade comes up with it
His throw to first
GOT HIM!
Score It: 4-3
That retires the side...
Hubbell fails to come through
in the clutch
For NL Pre WWII, No runs, one hit,
one error and 2 men left on base

Hays saunters to the plate...
He stretches out a little
Then kicks the dirt from his spikes...

Now he steps into the batter's box
Hays is batting .319 with
6 round trippers in 1900
Hubbell eyes Hays intently
Now Carl delivers
It's a Texas Leaguer to right
Here comes Ott...
He is really motoring...
He reaches down...
But catches it on one hop!
Hays is on with a bloop single to right

FOFC left fielder, Sean Treacy,
will be up next
He will be followed by Barrett Blade
One on... no one out
FOFC up by 1
Treacy taps home plate
Looks into the dugout
Now he's ready
Hubbell has the sign from Hartnett
Hubbell rocks and fires
Treacy swings...
Bounced to the right side of first...
It's by Terry and through...
For a single...
Ott charging fast...
Fields it smoothly...throws to third...
Cut off by Frisch...
Hays slides safely into third

Barrett Blade steps in
Treacy at first, Hays at third, no one out
Blade is at .252 on the season
Hubbell looks down at Hartnett
for the sign
Now he's ready
Now ready, here it is...
Blade drives the ball to
center for extra bases
Hays scores
Dick Howser won't risk sending
the runner home...
Double for Blade

Nielsen looks to lay one down
Nielsen lays down a great bunt!
He might beat it out...
Fielded by G.Hartnett
the throw to first...
close play...
SAFE, Nielsen beat it out!
Treacy scores from third!
Blade takes third

Tucker saunters to the plate
Does some stretching...
Kicks the imaginary dirt from his spikes
Now he steps into the batter's box
Tucker, a switch-hitter, batting
right-handed against the
lefty Carl Hubbell
Tucker gets set for the pitch
Hubbell checks the runners
The Whiff!
Swung on the HIGH CHEESE!
One down for FOFC...
Traynor calls time as he
comes to the mound
to have a word with the pitcher

I'm sure he wants Hubbell to bear down
And not worry about the runners

Jeff Nights moves in to face Hubbell
2 on, 1 out here in the bottom of the 2nd
Men on 1st and 3rd
Hubbell tosses the resin bag aside
He steps on the rubber...
It's coming down the pike
Long fly ball to left field
Joe Medwick giving chase
This one is deep!
IT'S WAY BACK THERE . . .
CAUGHT!
Score It: 7
Two gone for FOFC

With two out
Batting for FOFC now is Gazelle
Gazelle is looking for another hit
He has 1 hit so far today
He is hitting .276 on the year
Gazelle waits for the pitch

Nielsen dives back in
That's his best move to first...
Terry lobs it back
Now Hubbell comes home
It's a rainbow shot toward left
Medwick reaches up
Makes the catch!
Didn't have to move an inch
That retires the side... but not before
3 runs cross the plate for FOFC
After 2 innings, FOFC ahead 4 to 0

Frankie Frisch stops at the on deck circle
Takes a couple more practice swings
Now heads for the plate
Frankie will be facing the
left-handed Nielsen
from the right side of the plate
The Pre-Nationals' switch
hitting shortstop
is batting a .278 versus southpaws
Frisch is poised and ready for the pitch
Nielsen brings it to the plate
There's a liner over short
Solidly stroked by Frisch...
Would you look at that!
Nights leaped two stories into the air
and robbed Frisch of a sure base hit
Frankie is disgusted...
but tips his hat to Nights just the same
That ball had base hit written all over it
And there's one away

Traynor is up near the batter's box
He is going through his obligatory ritual
Finally, he steps in
Looking to Casey Stingle for a sign
He's ready for the delivery
Here's his delivery
Traynor drives one into center
A. J. Tucker sprints over to make the play
That's the second out of the inning

Making his way up is Hornsby
Hornsby is a tough man up
there at the plate
He's hard to get past in the lineup
Rogers certainly knows how to get on base
He'll make Nielsen earn his salary
Nielsen is happy with the sign
Nielsen is into his rocking motion
Now his left arm comes around
Hornsby bounces one high toward the mound
Nielsen leaps up but can't reach it
Nights is over quickly...
Reaches down and scoops it
up on the short hop
Underhands it to Potpie...
OUT
Pretty play by Jeff Nights to
retire Hornsby by a whisker
The crowd appreciated that play
That's three up, three down
FOFC has 4 runs, 6 hits and one error
While NL Pre WWII has no runs,
one hit and one error

The All Stars will send
Potpie, Dan Fouts, and Harry Hays up
to the plate this inning
Potpie has 12 doubles this year
He's ready
The pitch on the way, here it is...
Drilled on the ground to short
Frisch grabs it
Over to Terry
Got him!
Score It: 6-3
That's the first out of the inning
Two more to go

Now here's Fouts
Fouts scuffs up the lines around the box
Fouts is waiting on the pitch
Here's the pitch
Fouts hits a screamer at Frankie Frisch
Frisch takes it with the backhand...
The throw is short...
Terry scoops it on one hop

Fouts is out!
Nice play by Terry
FOFC ahead 4 to 0 with
two away this inning

Walking up to the plate now is Hays
Sean Treacy waits on deck
Watching Hubbell, Hays wiggles the bat
He's ready for the pitch
Hays waits for the pitch
His bat is coiled
Hubbell brings it to the plate
Hays slaps a hard grounder past short
Medwick is over to pick it up
He tosses it back to second
Hays will hold with a clean single

Stepping in the batter's box, Treacy
Hays at first, two away
Treacy wiggles the bat above his head
Treacy readies himself for the pitch
Hays takes a walking lead
The lefthander Hubbell delivers
There's a quail shot in
front of Joe Medwick
He dives, but he traps it
Wait, the second base umpire
overrules the call
He calls the batter out
That does it for FOFC in
the bottom of the 3rd

NL Pre WWII will send Ott,
Kiki Cuyler, and Joe Medwick to face
Rob Nielsen this inning
Ott is batting .293 with
24 homers this year
Ott is set for the 0-2 pitch
Rob rocks and fires
Another hook for strike three!
Ott just stood there looking
One up, one down for NL Pre WWII

Coming up for NL Pre WWII is Kiki Cuyler
Nobody on base, one out
Cuyler is 1 for 1 today
Nielsen wastes no time
He has the sign from Hays
The pitch to Cuyler...
There's a liner over short...
Solidly stroked by Cuyler
No chance for either Nights or Treacy
That one had base hit written all over it

Joe Medwick steps up to the plate
Fleet-footed Cuyler is at first
Joe takes a couple of practice cuts
The umpire says let's go
Medwick is ready
Now to the belt, here it is...
Joe Medwick hits a drive to left-center
A. J. Tucker is at the warning track
Reaches up...
Jumps...
And snares it for the out
I'm impressed!
Two down

Two outs, with a man at first
Hartnett is the next batter
Hartnett swinging from the right side
of the plate against the lefty Nielsen
Hartnett awaits the pitch
Here's the southpaw's delivery
There's a long drive...
Its' way back there...
A. J. Tucker is at the wall...
(Possible HR or Out
Fielding ability: Great,)
He's jumping for it...
He's got it!!!
What a great play by Tucker!

Leading off for the All Stars
is the second baseman Blade
He'll be followed by Rob Nielsen
And then A. J. Tucker
The righthander, Blade has
an average of .256
His success against lefties, like Hubbell
is better, however, at .297
Barrett steadies his bat
And waits patiently for Hubbell's pitch
Now the delivery, here is is...
Blade tries to hold up, but can't
He pops one into short right
Ott is coming in hard...
Hornsby is racing with his
back to the infield
And neither is going to get it!
Blade is on with the "excuse me" single!

Nielsen squares around
He bunts it . . .
A quick glance at the lead runner...
Fielded by P.Traynor
the throw to first...
Out
Nielsen gets the job done.
Hubbell has the first out in
the bottom of the 4th
Hartnett trots out to the mound
Says a few words to Carl...
With the runner on second...
Probably making sure of the signs

A. J. Tucker is up next
FOFC's center fielder finds
1 on with 1 out
Tucker looks down toward
the third base coach
The count two balls,
two strikes on Tucker
Hornsby comes in a couple steps
Yells something to Hubbell
The delivery
Tucker watches strike three glide by
For that matter, he watched them all
That won't get it done
Here's the ump coming out
To brush the plate clean
There's two away

Nights gets set at the plate
Nights grips the bat handle
Nights chokes up on the bat a little
The lefthander Hubbell comes home with it
Looping fly to center
Kiki Cuyler charges the ball
It falls in front of him
FOFC adds to their lead
FOFC on top 5 to 0

Gerald Gazelle, will be up next
Jeeberoni Potpie hopes to
get a chance as well
One on... two away
FOFC up by 5
Gerald is batting .273 with
10 home runs on the season
He is 1 for 2 today
The count even at 2-2
Hubbell goes into his stretch
Looks over at the fidgety Nights
He lobs one to Terry...
Nights is back easily
We're ready again
Now Hubbell comes home
Fastball, a dandy...
Steee Rike THREE swinging!
Gerald looked like Casey on that pitch
Went for the HIGH CHEESE!
That wraps up the inning for FOFC
So After 4 innings
FOFC has 5 runs, 9 hits and one error
While NL Pre WWII has no runs,
2 hits and one error
FOFC has left 3 stranded
NL Pre WWII has failed to bring home 4

Bill Terry leading off for NL Pre WWII
The best way to quiet the crowd is to
get a few base runners on
We'll see how they pitch to Terry
Terry awaits the delivery
And here's the pay-off pitch...
Routine grounder to second
Blade scoops it up
Over to first for the out
One down for NL Pre WWII
Carl Hubbell is still in
the on-deck circle
and Frankie Frisch is looking
for a bat in the dugout

Now batting for NL Pre WWII...
Paul Waner...
He'll pinch hit for Carl Hubbell
Waner with a .309 average on the season

Next up for NL Pre WWII is Paul Waner
Waner steps out...
Takes a few more practice swings...
Now he's ready
The umpire says let's go
The southpaw delivers the 3-1 pitch
Waner lifts a flyball towards Sean Treacy
Treacy seems to be having trouble
picking up the ball
Treacy stumbles... he sticks
his glove up...
He's got it!
Nice recovery by Treacy
One more chance for NL
Pre WWII this inning

Two out, nobody on
Up now is Frisch
Frisch is batting .271 with
3 HR's this year
Nielsen is saying a few words to Blade...
So far in 1900,
Rob has a 10 and 4 record
with 4 complete games
OK, now he looks in for the sign
He brings it home
Frisch gets wood on the hard slider
It's a bouncer hit past the mound...
And PAST Nights into the outfield...
Base hit for Frisch

Digging that back foot in
Sammy Knowles has no decisions yet in 1900
He's 0-0 in 25 appearances so far
Knowles is into his windup
Here's the pitch
It's a routine fly into center
Tucker ranges over and reaches up
He grabs it for the out

But only if Hornsby can reach safely
We're in the top of the 9th

was Jeff Nights
He was 2 for 3
And that wraps things up
So long from FOFC.

GAME 80 - June 27 - RADIO BROADCAST


Good afternoon and welcome to
our baseball broadcast at FOFC Stadium
NL Pre WWII will take on
the hometown All Stars
The visitors hope to stop their current
5 game losing streak
Al Mighty, will see
if he can keep it going
He'll be looking for win number 7
here in 1900
NL Pre WWII will send Pete Alexander
out to the mound in the bottom of the 1st
He has a record of 10-5
with a 4.16 ERA
It won't be long now...
Mighty brings it home
Frisch hits a fly ball to left
K. A. Ton camps under it
He's got it
And there's one away

Now here's Traynor
We'll see how they pitch to Traynor
Mighty gets the sign from Bullock
He is 11th in the league in strike outs
He has 101 on the season
Al is ready to zip it homeward
Here it comes
Traynor swings
He sends one to the deepest
part of right-center
That's going to get through to the fence
Traynor rounds second...
The throw not nearly in time, a triple
Pie Traynor now has 6 three-baggers
this season

Hornsby digs in at the plate
Ready now for Mighty to come set
Hornsby is one of the best hitters around
Al looks for the sign he wants...
Shakes off the first one
But he likes the next
And the delivery by Mighty
Change up, a beauty...
Heeee struck him out!
That's two away

Mel Ott will get a crack at Mighty next
Kiki Cuyler would be up next...
But only if Ott can reach safely
Mel is 6th in the league in home runs
with a 24 so far in 1900
Mel steadies his bat
And waits patiently for Mighty's pitch
Now Al delivers
Mighty comes with his best heat...
And this time it's too much for Ott
As Mel swings right through
it for strike three
That retires the side...
Mel Ott fails to come
Through in the clutch
That's something you won't see very often

As A. J. Tucker steps in to lead off
FOFC's half of the first
Let me set up the defense for NL Pre WWII
Alexander's battery mate is Lombardi
Around the horn from first to third
Terry at first, Hornsby at second,
Traynor the third sacker
Frisch will be playing short
Medwick, Cuyler and Ott will
patrol the outfield
from left to right

Tucker, FOFC's center fielder, steps in
Tucker is trying to get comfortable
in the box
Digging that back foot in
Tucker waits on Alexander
Pete rocks and fires
Tucker rips a whistling
liner down the line
Bingo! Terry spears it!
A shot hit right on the screws
but right at the NL Pre WWII first baseman
One gone for FOFC

Walking up to the plate now is Nights
Persimmon Pflaggstettler waits on deck
Alexander studies his sign
He brings it home
Sinking fastball...
Nights swings...
Raps a hard ground ball
right at Frisch...
He snares it easily, throws to first...
Out by a step
Two gone here in the bottom of the 1st
We want to welcome the FOFC
"Sportsman Club"
to the game today
We hope you enjoy your
trip to the ballpark

Two out, nobody on
Up now is Pflaggstettler
Alexander is asking for a new ball...
The ump throws him a new one...
Alexander looks in...
Now he's ready
Pete winds
Kicks... and delivers
Curve in the dirt... and Pflaggstettler
holds up
Looked like he went around from here
But the plate umpire says no
Lombardi asks the first base ump's opinion
He says Pflaggstettler went around
Strike three, swinging
Pete Alexander holds the All Stars
scoreless in the first

NL Pre WWII will send Cuyler,
Joe Medwick, and Ernie Lombardi to face
Al Mighty this inning
Kiki is hitting at .295 on the year
He has 41 hits in 139 at bats
This includes 7 doubles, 2 triples
2 home runs and 19 RBI's
He's ready for the delivery
Mighty brings it to the plate
Cuyler swings and misses
STRIKE THREE!
Mighty strikes out Kiki Cuyler
One away
While we wait for the next batter
Let's see what's happening in other games

Japanese League is giving it
to Negro League II 6 to 1
Kaneda enjoying the big
Japanese League lead
Caribbean with the lead over
AL Post WWII 3 to 0
AL Pre WWII with the lead over
Negro League I 3 to 0
Grove comfortably ahead for AL Pre WWII
NL Post WWII clipping Old Timers 4 to 0
Koufax comfortably ahead for NL Post WWII
Turn of Century is edging Left Outs 1 to 0
Late 20th is beating Dead Ball Era 4 to 0
Johnson comfortably ahead for Late 20th
And right here in FOFC We're scoreless

The left fielder, Joe Medwick, is up next
Medwick goes through his
routine of settling in
The left-hander Mighty is now ready
The lefty Mighty delivers
Medwick swings
It's a Texas Leaguer into
shallow left field
Nights is running with his
back to the infield
He reaches up...
What a grab!
That's the second out of the inning

"Schnozz" is making his way to the plate
Lombardi is at .320 on the season
Mighty shakes off two signs
Now he's ready
Way ahead in the count
Mighty turns the 0-2 pitch loose
Strike three swinging...
Now that is something you
don't see very often
Lombardi rarely ever strikes out
But Mighty got him that time!
1-2-3, nothing across...

Potpie saunters to the plate...
He stretches out a little
Then kicks the dirt from his spikes...

GAME 81 - June 27th - Radio Broadcast (I know I'm off on my dates again)

Welcome to FOFC Stadium!
And in a moment we'll be ready
for the game between
FOFC and NL Pre WWII
So folks, pull up a chair
and spend part of your evening with us
The ump shouts "PLAY BALL!"
We're ready to go here in FOFC
Frankie Frisch to lead it
off for NL Pre WWII
The lefty Williams delivers
Sinking fastball...
Frisch swings...
Raps a hard ground ball
right at Nights...
He snares it easily, throws to first...
Out by a step
One out
Due up next is Pie Traynor

The intelligent and classy third baseman,
Pie Traynor, is coming up to bat
Traynor can't seem to get
settled at the plate
John Williams steps off the
mound toward second
Gives the resin bag a toss
Now he toes the rubber...
He's ready to go
Here's the southpaw's delivery
Fly ball to right
Gazelle is under it
He makes the grab
That's two away

NL Pre WWII second baseman, Rogers
Hornsby, is up next
Williams adjusts his cap...
Now he's set
He brings it home
Rogers pops it up
And Fouts makes the play
Williams sets them down in order
Here in the top of the 1st

A. J. Tucker up first for FOFC
He is a threat to steal if he gets on
Tucker has hit 6 triples this year
The bat is cocked
The southpaw delivers
Sinking line drive
Caught by Frankie Frisch
One down for FOFC
Jeff Nights is still in the on-deck circle
and Jeeberoni Potpie is looking
for a bat in the dugout

Nights, FOFC's shortstop,
is coming to the plate
He is finished with his pre-bat warmup
Jeeberoni Potpie waits on deck
Before getting ready
Nights checks out the defensive alignment
Nights is poised and ready for the pitch
The pitch is on the way
Sharp breaking curve...
Nights chases it...
There's a ground ball up the middle
Past the leaping Marquard on the mound
Frisch cuts the ball off behind second...
He throws off balance to first...
SAFE! The ball is up the line
Terry can't get to it
It rolls to the seats
Nights will coasts into second
Score that a hit, and an error on Frisch
That's error number 1 of the
game for NL Pre WWII

Jeeberoni Potpie is entering
the batter's box
Benton Breeze has his big
bopper, Gerald Gazelle,
waiting in the on-deck circle
The right-handed Potpie will
be facing the southpaw
5 of his 20 home runs come via this route
Marquard adjusts his belt...
Looks in for the sign from Lombardi
Now the delivery, here is is...
Base hit to left for Potpie
Dick Howser is waving the runner home...
The throw is cut off...
And that allows the run to score

And the batter is Gerald Gazelle
K. A. Ton is on-deck
Gazelle is batting .275 with
10 round trippers in 1900
Gazelle tells the umpire he's ready
The lefthander delivers
It's a rainbow shot toward center

Makes the catch!
Didn't have to move an inch

K. A. Ton is up next
FOFC's left fielder finds 1 on with 2 outs
Marquard squeezes the resin bag...
Peers in
The stretch... the delivery
Fastball, paints the outside corner
Swung on by Ton
Grounded hard at Traynor...
Scooped up, fired to first...
OVER THE HEAD OF Terry...
Bounces into the dugout
Ton scampers into second
That'll be a two base error
Score It: E5
Potpie takes third
Ton to second

The All Stars will send
Harry Hays up to the plate
Hays has a .400 average
against lefthanders
He is .331 overall
Hays waits patiently for the pitch
His bat is coiled
The lefty Marquard delivers
Hays swings and lifts one toward right
Ott drifts over slowly...
He is under it now...
And makes the easy catch...
That wraps up the inning for FOFC
By the way, FOFC is 9 and 1
in their last ten games

As we get ready to start
the top of the 2nd
Ott is talking to Hays
We'll see how they pitch to Ott
Mel waits...
He steps out as Williams takes too long
Now he's back in the box
The pitch on the way, here it is...
Ott lifts a flyball towards A. J. Tucker
Tucker seems to be having trouble
picking up the ball
Tucker stumbles... he sticks
his glove up...
He's got it!
Nice recovery by Tucker
NL Pre WWII with one away
Williams steps off the mound as
he waits for Kiki Cuyler to
come to the plate

And it brings up Kiki Cuyler
On deck is Joe Medwick
Ernie Lombardi in the hole
Cuyler goes through his routine
of settling in
Williams has the sign from Hays
Here's the pitch
It's a pop-up in back of third
Fouts is under it
Still waiting...
Now he clutches it for the out
Two gone for NL Pre WWII

Pounding the plate with his bat
Medwick awaits the pitch
Medwick digs in from the right side
of the plate against the southpaw Williams
Medwick waits on Williams
Now ready, here it is...
Good slider, inside part of the plate
Medwick gets the bat on it...
Slams a sharp grounder to the right side
Blade grabs it...
Throws to first...
OUT!
That ends the inning
After 1 and a half innings,
FOFC leads by 1

Here's the third baseman Fouts
To lead off the inning
He'll be followed by Barrett Blade
And then John Williams
Dan is taking his sweet time getting ready

The umpire says a few words to Dan...
Now we're set to go
And Rube studies the sign from Lombardi...
Now he's got it
It's coming down the pike
It's a routine fly into center
Cuyler ranges over and reaches up
He grabs it for the out
One up, one down for FOFC

stares right back
Infield at regular depth
Marquard toes the rubber again

Rube rocks and fires
Blade swings and misses
STRIKE THREE!
Marquard strikes out Barrett Blade
Two up, two down for the All Stars

Williams departs the on-deck circle
He makes his way quickly to the plate
Hitching up his pants...

Williams gazes out to the mound
Marquard is rubbing the ball up
Now the umpire wants to take a look
No problems found...
Now Marquard gets the sign from Lombardi
The southpaw winds and delivers
Williams hits a screamer at Rogers Hornsby
Hornsby picks it up and fires to first
The throw pulls Terry off the bag
Terry swipes with the glove

Williams is out!
Nice play by Terry
The side is retired
No runs, no hits and no errors
Time for a break, just in
time, by the way as
I've just been handed a ballpark hotdog
As Humphrey Bogart once said
A hotdog at the ballpark is better than
steak at the Ritz

Ernie Lombardi will get things
started for NL Pre WWII
He'll be followed by Bill
Terry and Rube Marquard
If any of them get on,
lead-off hitter, Frankie
Frisch, will step in
Now Lombardi approaches home plate
Lombardi calls time, and steps
out of the batter's box
The Pre-Nationals are going
through a "June swoon"
They've dropped their last
6 games in a row
Now Lombardi's back in...
One ball, one strike on Lombardi
Williams brings it to the plate
Sinking fastball...
Lombardi swings...
Raps a hard ground ball
right at Fouts...
He snares it easily, throws to first...
Out by a step
One gone for NL Pre WWII

Nobody on base, one away
Terry steps into the batter's box
Bill takes a couple of practice cuts
Williams rubs down the ball...
Now he's asking for a new one
After he rubs this one down
He looks in for the sign
Way ahead in the count

Hot shot grounded to first
It's off Potpie's glove!

The count goes to 1 and 2, we'll have
to see if they keep the bunt play on

the third strike...
That's a strikeout!

Williams looks down at Hays for the sign
Shakes him off once... twice...

Now he has the pitch he wants
The southpaw Williams' delivery
Frisch sits on the change up
He lofts a fly ball towards Tucker
Tucker gliding under it...
Appears to lose sight of it
Has it again...
And makes the catch in medium center
NL Pre WWII comes up empty here
in the top of the 3rd

The lefthander Marquard comes home with it
Here's a curveball, up in the zone...

Yes, Williams walks him

That'll bring up right fielder
Mel Ott...
FOFC way out in front

guys I'm still playing games, but I'm having a hard time posting results from home. The site either won't completely load the thread so I can get to the point where I can add my reply or it loses my login information and I have to start over. Hopefully tonight will be better.

with a 4.94 ERA
It won't be long now...
The windup, the pitch
Tucker swings and misses
STRIKE THREE!
Cuellar strikes out A. J. Tucker
One up, one down here in
the top of the 1st

One away, nobody on base
Nights stands ready at the plate

Cuellar toes the rubber again
He gets his sign from Gonzalez

Well hit by Potpie
Minoso moves back...

As we go to the bottom of the first
let's set the defensive alignment for FOFC

And here's the 0-2 offering
Grounded towards third

That wraps up the inning for FOFC
By the way, FOFC is 9 and 1
in their last ten games

He does some stretching...
Knocks the dirt from his spikes...
Now he steps into the batter's box

Now here's the pitch

comfortable in the box
Digging that back foot in
Gonzalez waits for the delivery

His ERA stands at 7.71

Power hitting Gerald Gazelle will lead off
FOFC's clean-up hitter will
see what he can do
against Caribbean's Lazaro Salazar
Gerald Gazelle will be up next...
He is 2 for 4 on the evening
Gazelle has also smacked out 2 home runs!
This impressive display of power
has been good for 2 RBI's
Gazelle concentrates
He holds the bat down on the end
Salazar kicks and fires
Drilled on the ground to third
Linares comes up with it
His throw to first
GOT HIM!
Score It: 5-3
And there's one away

Now batting will be Persimmon
Pflaggstettler
The left fielder is walking to the plate
Bases empty... one out
FOFC up by 2
Pflaggstettler goes through his
routine of settling in
Pflaggstettler waits on Salazar
Salazar brings it to the plate
Sinker, down at the knees...
Swung on...
Pflaggstettler hits a Baltimore chop...
Past the infield into right for a single!
That was a difficult ball to handle

Now batting will be Harry Hays
The catcher is walking to the plate
One on... one out
FOFC up by 2
The right-handed Hays will
be facing the southpaw
5 of his 7 home runs come via this route
Salazar looks down at Gonzalez
for the sign
Shakes him off once... twice...

Now he has the pitch he wants
The stretch... the delivery
Base hit to right for Hays
Pflaggstettler is racing towards third...
The throw is cut off...
That holds Hays at first

Terp is ready to face Salazar
Kris Terp hasn't had a very
good year so far
He is struggling to get
over the Mendoza line
Currently his average is
an uninspiring .138
He has had some trouble with
illness this year
He's been fighting the flu
in recent weeks
Lazaro Salazar is now discussing
something with Felipe Alou..
Felipe Alou was quick to point out to me
in our pre-game show
just how important Salazar
has been to their team
His 7 saves is good for 8th in the league
He's got a tough spot here however
He brings it home
Strike three swinging!
And a quick peg to first by Gonzalez
Hays dives back in...
SAFE!
The first base ump says Hays made it back
Two down
Due up next is Barrett Blade
Let's see what happens now

Next up is Barrett Blade,
the FOFC second baseman
Blade is 2 for 3 today
Barrett singled last time up
Salazar is asking for a new ball...
The ump throws him a new one...
Salazar looks in...
Now he's ready
The southpaw delivers
Barrett Blade offers at the pitch,
but checks his swing
Oh, Blade couldn't get the
bat out of the way
It's a soft line drive to
Linares for the out
Blade never even left the batter's box
That does it for FOFC in
the top of the 9th

The left fielder Minoso
will lead off for the Estrellas
He'll be followed by Antonio Pacheco
And then Pancho Coimbre
Minoso is at .273 on the season
He is hitting .244 against righties
Minoso chokes up on the bat a little
The kick and the pitch
Fastball, low and inside...
Minoso goes down after it...
He lines one deep to right...
Gazelle is back at the fence...
Waits...

CAN'T GET IT!... It's a homer for Minoso!
Minnie comes through for Caribbean
That's number 3 for him

Antonio Pacheco, the second baseman,
strides to the plate
Pacheco digs in from the left side
of the plate against the righty Knowles
Pacheco awaits the delivery
Sammy rocks and fires
Good slider, inside part of the plate
Pacheco gets the bat on it...
Slams a sharp grounder to the right side
Blade grabs it...
Throws to first...
OUT!
One down for Caribbean
Pancho Coimbre is still
in the on-deck circle
and Perucho Cepeda is looking
for a bat in the dugout

Pancho Coimbre will face Knowles
Righty against righty
Pancho Coimbre is hitting .300 this year
against righthanded pitchers
Sammy looks for the sign he wants...
Shakes off the first one
But he likes the next
Here's the righthander's delivery
Coimbre swings...
He rips a ground ball towards Palmer
It's by him!
It's twisting into the left field corner
Coimbre rounds first...
He will return quickly to first
as Pflaggstettler gets a
nice throw in to Blade

One on, one out
Cepeda walks to the batter's box
Knowles is on the first-base
side of the rubber...
The pitch is on the way
Swing and a miss
Strike three
Cepeda goes down on strikes
Two down, last of the 9th...
The Estrellas are down to their final out

Coimbre slowly moves away from the base
Knowles rifles one to first...
Coimbre scrambles back quickly...
He just avoids the tag!
He should have dove back
Almost got caught

Oliva now at the plate
Omar Linares waits on deck
Coimbre will be running if it's hit
Hays flashes the sign...
Knowles shakes it off, he wants another...

Now he's happy
Knowles goes into his stretch...
Looks over at Coimbre
Fires to Potpie...
Coimbre is back easily...

We're ready again
Now Knowles comes home
Oliva sits on the change up
He lofts a fly ball towards Tucker
Tucker gliding under it...
Appears to lose sight of it
Has it again...
And makes the catch in medium center
And that will do it for Caribbean
FOFC wins 9 to 8
Fozborg gets credit for the win
Knowles notches the save
Cuellar takes the loss
The hitting star for FOFC
was Jeff Nights
He was 2 for 5 with 2 homeruns!
He also knocked in 4 runs
And that wraps things up
So long from Caribbean.

Hmmm...wondering if anyone that was a part of this originally is still around and interested in me dusting this thing off for the second have of the season?

Actually, I really wonder if they even remember this ever existed...
