| 2011-01-18 13:00:00 | Hal Gilson made the majors in 1968, pitched in 16 games that year and didn't win any...However in this game on 9-June (Game 1 of the St.Louis-Cincinnati DH):
http://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/1968/B06091CIN1968.htm
He came in the last of the fourth down 8-0, got an out, then batted in the top of the fifth. After he batted, Lou Brock made the second out of the inning (Dal Maxvill was on 2nd base), then the next 9 Cards reached/scored (Gilson was pinch hit for the second time around, and Brock hit a 3-run HR to clear the bases and put St.Louis up 10-8...No other runs were scored that game and St.Louis won 10-8...
My question: Why didn't Hal Gilson get credit for a win?
Also, here is a great photo taken with Brock at the plate before the 10-run outburst...

(npb7768 from Rhode Island) | I'll post this early so people have time to figure out what went wrong with the score card. (Marc Normandin) |
| 2010-07-23 13:00:00 | Jay, did you see the piece William Rhoden wrote in the Times this week about Steinbrenner and Curt Flood and the Hall? He said if George makes it, Flood should make it first. I have to admit to having reservations about Flood being in there even though I wrote a book about him, admire his off-the-field actions, and would be more than happy to see him honored. What are your feelings about Flood and then George being in the Hall?
(Alex Belth from Bronx) | Yo, Alex! If Flood makes it, it won't be because of his merits as a player, it will be some kind of unique honor. He was a legitimate whiz in center field but not a tremendous hitter even after adjusting for the times; at best I see him coming up with a case somewhere between Lou Brock and Johnny Damon - a run at 3000 sprinkled with some postseason chops - if his career had continued and his challenge had never happened.
As for Steinbrenner, I'm for it. The man was probably the game's most influential owner after O'Malley, who's finally in and should have been a long time ago. (Jay Jaffe) |
| 2010-02-23 13:00:00 | "A few years ago, an obscure Reds or Cubs pitcher from the 60s kept coming up again and again. I'm blanking on his name just now, but it'll come to me..."
I believe it was Ernie Broglio.

(Functionary from DC Cubicle) | Nope... Another guy who was pretty notable, this time for being traded for Lou Brock. I just took a moment to look but it's not coming to me. Man, that's gonna drive me nuts. (Steven Goldman) |
