SPORTS--Baseball--SABR Biography and Games Project Updates--June 5-11, 2020

June 9: On June 9, 2020, The Society of American Baseball Research (SABR) biography project added 4 biographies and 4 games to the games project. There are now 5,215 biographies (Players, Ballparks, Broadcasters, Executives, Games, Managers, Scouts, Spouses, Umpires, and people who were Famous Outside Baseball).

June 9: Robin Yount (Hall of Fame): Shortstop, Center Fielder, Brewers (1974-1993). 3,142 hits.

June 9: Roy Crabb: Pitcher, White Sox, Athletics (1912)

June 9: Red Nelson: Pitcher, Browns, Phillies, Reds (1910-1913). Pitcher in the first game of doubleheader against Cleveland at the end of the 1910 season. Nap Lajoie famously got 8 hits in doubleheader to edge out Ty Cobb (who sat out

the last two games) for the batting title. It was suggested that the Browns allowed Lajoie's hits because of an intense dislike of Cobb, shared by every other American League team, as well of many of his Tiger teammates. Nelson tells a different story. 

June 9: Cal Hogue: Pitcher, Pirates (1952-1954). Pitched for two of the worst teams of all time, that lost 216 games in 1952-53. Joe Garagiola was also on that team.

May 15: June 21, 1980: Detroit Tigers v Chicago White Sox (complete game broadcast from pregame show to post game wrap up). Harry Caray and Jimmy Piersall on the call. Harry broacasts from the Center Field Bleachers. This game was played the day after Tiger outfielder, the late Al Cowens, who had his jaw broken by a fastball from the late Ed Farmer fastball the previous year, hit a ground ball to shortstop, and instead of running, charged the mound and attacked Farmer, whose back was turned, watching the play. Cowens did not accompany the team to Chicago for the rest of the year, as there was an arrest warrant for assault waiting for him. Cowens and Farmer talked it over later and Farmer dropped the charges. (Museum of Classic Chicago Television).
