No Brewers yet when I was born. No Twins either...If there had been, they'd be shoveling snow or wrapping up xmas shopping. Or maybe going to Al Kaline's birthday party.

The paper on the day you were born might have reported yesterday's game with Lew Krausse having 21 K in 9 IP including ten straight K, his 33rd K over 2 winter league games. When you were six days old, Willie Mays won the MVP, and in a week, William Eckert was named commish. The day after that Versalles won MVP.Originally posted by [email protected]Mythical SF Chronicle scouting report: "That Jeff runs like a deer. Unfortunately, he also hits AND throws like one."

Thanks for starting this thread. Never knew I was born on the same day as Joe Morgan and Duke Snider
September 19th, 1977.
Umm, lets see, the FailBlazers won the Championship that year. Not sure what was happening in baseball. He runningshoes, can you look at see what the A's did that day and year?Comment

I have it for you Sultan.
The A's lost at Chicago 8-0 on Sept.19,1977.Ken Kravec went the distance for the White Sox,besting Vida Blue,who dropped to 14-18 at that time.
In 1977,the A's finished an abysmal 63-98 in the AL West,1/2 game behind the expansion Seattle Mariners,and 38 1/2 behind the Kansas City Royals.
Vida Blue and Bill North were the only holdovers from thier world Championship teams of 1972-74.Comment

Did you know Vida gave up several college football scholarships to sign with the Athletics at the tender age of 19? A's owner Charles Finley seriously wanted him to change his name to True, but Vida refused.Originally posted by Chisox73
In 1971, Blue went 24-8 to capture both the league's MVP and Cy Young awards. He was dealt to the Giants during the 1978 season, after posting a dismal 14-19 the previous year, for seven players and $390,000.
He finished the year with an 18-10 record and became the first pitcher to start the All Star game for both leagues.
Blue was suspended for drug abuse in 1983 and retired permanently in 1987 after failing a urine test.

September 19, 1977 St. Louis @ Philadelphia
Originally posted by Sultan_1895-1948
Philadelphia Phillies 8, St. Louis Cardinals 4
The major highlight of the Cards' 1977 season was Hall of Famer Lou Brock's breaking of Ty Cobb's career stolen base mark of 892. Brock finished his career with 938 and held the record until surpassed by future Hall of Famer Rickey Henderson in 1991.
The Cards finished the season in 3rd place with an 83-79 record, 18 games behind the National League East winning Phillies. Garry Templeton finished the season with a league high 18 triples.
Brock retired at the end of the 1979 season with 1,730 career strike outs and only 761 walks. He led the National League in errors seven times, putting together five of those consecutively.
I guess he had to make his times on base count."I think about baseball when I wake up in the morning. I think about it all day and I dream about it at night. The only time I don't think about it is when I'm playing it."
