1938 - At Griffith Stadium, Ted Lyons of Chicago collects his 200th career victory as the Sox down the Nats 9-2.

1953 – Sparked by OF Clyde Vollmer‘s 3 run double and 2 run homer, the Senators pound Yankee pitching for 18 hits in a 12-4 Senators rout. In the top of the 9th, Yanks OF Irv Noren lines into a game ending triple play. Former Yankee farmhand Bob Porterfield pitches the CG.

1963 - Eddie Yost‘s managerial career record will go into the record books at 0-1. Yost, in place of disposed skipper Mickey Vernon, pilots the Sens to a 9-3 drubbing at the hands of the White Sox in RFK.

Senators Birthdays

Franklin (Frank) Coggins B May 22, 1944 D Oct. 30, 1994

Frank Coggins played for parts of 2 seasons for the expansion Senators, starting as a late season call up in 1967. A second baseman, Coggins managed a .307 average with 1 home run in 19 games. Unfortunately, that would be the best performance of his career. With the 1968 Senators, he played in 62 games, managing a .175 average before being demoted to AAA.
Coggins would appear in 6 games, with 1 AB for the 1972 Chicago Cubs.

Frank Coggins career record

Foster Pirie (Babe) Ganzel B May 22, 1901 D Feb. 6, 1978

Outfielder Babe Ganzel is another player who started out with some pretty impressive numbers but quickly fizzled. Playing his first major league games with the Senators in late September 1927, Ganzel managed to hit .438, going 21 for 48 while appearing in 13 games. Returning in 1928, he only appeared in 10 games, hitting just 2 for 26, a paltry .077 BA. Ganzel would never appear in the majors again.

Decatur Poindexter (Dick) Jones B May 22, 1902 D Aug. 2, 1994

Dick Jones appeared in 4 games with the Senators in 1926, going 2-1 with a 4.29 ERA. In 1927 he was limited to 2 appearances, pitching 3.1 innings and giving up 8 runs. Mr. Jones would also disappear from major league rosters after April of 1927.

Aloysius Harry Szymanski AKA “Bucketfoot” Al Simmons B May 22, 1902 D May 26, 1956

Hall of Famer Al Simmons should need no introduction, however, in keeping with the format of this thread, outfielder Al Simmons spent 20 years in the major leagues, primarily with the Philadelphia Athletics. He actually spent 3 separate stints with the A’s: 1924-1932, 1940-1941 & 1944.

He also appeared with the Chicago White Sox, Detroit Tigers, Washington Senators, Boston Bees, Cincinnati Reds and Boston Red Sox.

He appeared in 3 consecutive World Series (1929-1931) while in Philadelphia with both the 1929 and 1930 teams becoming World Champions. He also appeared in the 1939 World Series while with the Reds.

Simmons was the starting center fielder in the All Star games of 1933, 1934 & 1935. Among his impressive statistics are 157 RBI in 1929, and batting averages of .381 in 1930 and .390 in 1931, all league-leading feats.

With the Senators in 1937 and 1938, his better year was 1938 when he batted .302 with 21 home runs.

Jose Martinez de Valdivielso (Lopez) B May 22, 1934 Still living

Another member of the frequently mentioned “Cuban connection”, Jose Valdivielso was a utility infielder with the Senators. First appearing in 1955, he was on the Senators roster again in 1956. He would not return to the majors until 1959, having his most active year in 1960 when he appeared in 117 games. He would move west with the original Senators to become a Minnesota Twin where his major league career would end in 1961.

1913 - Trailing Cleveland 2-0 in the top of the 9th, Washington’s Alva “Rip” Williams ties the contest with a 2 run, pinch HR. After the Sens score 2 more in the top of the 10th, Walter Johnson is bought in to seal the 4-2 victory.

1925 - The Big Train goes 3 for 4 and the Sens defeat the Tigers 6-2 in Detroit. Both teams combine for 9 double plays, a major league record for a 9 inning game.

1935 - Bobo goes to Washington. The Senators purchase the contract of St. Louis Brown pitcher Bobo Newsome for the then astronomical sum of $40,000. It is the first of 5 stints that Newsome would have in Washington.

1940 - At Comiskey Park, erstwhile Senator and future Sen manager Joe Kuhel collects 5 hits against his ex mates as the White Sox edge the Sens 9-8.

1943 - In the fastest night game played in AL history, the White Sox shutout the Senators 1-0 at Griffith. The contest is completed in 1 hour and 29 minutes.

1955 - It’s Fight Night at Griffith, as Senators P Mickey McDermott and Boston OF Jackie Jensen exchange blows after McDermott applies a hard tag on Jensen. Despite the bout between the players that were traded for one another after the 1953 season, the Senators throw the knockout punch on Boston when they push a run across in the bottom of the 12th for the 1-0 win.

1963 - With the Senators mired in 10th place at 14-26 after tonight’s 4-3 loss to Chicago, manager Mickey Vernon is dismissed as the Nats manager. Gil Hodges would succeed Vernon two days later, after coach Eddie Yost manages for one game on an interim basis.

1970 - Despite 11 walks issued by New York P Mel Stottlemyre, the Senators fail to capitalize as they fall to the Yanks 2-0 at Yankee Stadium. The 11 free passes by Stottlemyre ties a major league record for walks issued in a shutout.

Yancey Wyatt (Doc) Ayers B May 21, 1891 D May 26, 1968

Doc Ayers spent 9 years in the major leagues beginning with the Senators in 1913. Probably his best season was the 1915 campaign, when he went 14-9 with a 2.21 ERA. Traded to the Detroit Tigers during the 1919 season, he would end his career with Detroit in 1921.

Doc Ayers career record

Edward Raymond Fitz Gerald B May 21, 1924 Still living

Ed Fitz Gerald first appeared as a major league catcher in 1948 with the Pittsburgh Pirates. In May 1953, he was purchased by the Washington Senators where he would spend the next 6 seasons. In May of 1959 he was traded by the Senators to the Cleveland Indians for Hal Naragon and Hal Woodeshick. He would be released by the Indians in April of 1960 before appearing during the regular season.

Never heavily utilized, his most active seasons were 1948 (102 games) and 1954 (115 games). A career .260 hitter, possibly his best season was 1956 when he batted .304 while appearing in 64 games.

Continue reading »]]> I noticed the obituary for Mrs. White and will post it here. She is probably best known for her appearance on the Twilight Zone, but back in 1943 she was engaged to Jimmy Trimble III.

Trimble grew up in Chevy Chase and was a talented athlete for St. Albans. He was also a baseball phenom blessed with a devastating fastball, think Bob Feller. In early 1943, Trimble, just 18 years old, was invited to a tryout with the Senators. Heinie Manush who witnessed the tryout called him, “the finest prospect he had ever seen.” Trimble signs for $5,000 with the provision that he could also attend college.

Life takes us down unexpected paths and most of us have often wondered what paths we might have followed. Trimble could have tried to avoid combat and might have had a successful major league career. But Jimmy enlisted in the Marine Corps and volunteered to serve in a reconnaissance platoon, a very hazardous assignment. Assigned to the invasion force that landed on Iwo Jima, he died in combat on 1 March 1945, he was twenty years old.

With the passing of Mrs. White this is a good time to honor those who served and the loved ones they left behind.

This from the Carroll County Times Christine Lamson White.

Christine Lamson White, 86, of Washington, D.C., died Sunday, April 14, 2013, at Brinton Woods Nursing Home in Washington, D.C. Born May 4, 1926, in Washington, D.C., she was the daughter of the late Lucia W. and James Andrew White.

She graduated from Wilson High School in Washington. She entered the University of North Carolina and graduated in 1947 with a major in English. At UNC, she acted in school plays, a precursor to her growing interest in the world of theatre. She enrolled in Catholic University, in Washington, D.C., in 1948 and pursued a Masters degree in speech and drama.
She left for New York and in the early 1950s appeared in roles made for TV including “Playhouse 90,” “General Electric,” and “Philco Playhouse.”

After these successes, she left New York for Los Angeles, Calif., and appeared in more than 50 Hollywood movies and television shows during her 25 year acting career including “Magnum Force,” “Vice Squad,” “Man Crazy,” “Ichabod and Me,” “Father Knows Best,” “Alfred Hitchcock Presents,” “Perry Mason,” “The Untouchables,” “The Twilight Zone,” “The Fugitive,” “The Rifleman,” “Have Gun–Will Travel” and “Bonanza”.

While living in Los Angeles, she became acquainted with several celebrities including James Dean, Loretta Young and June Havoc.

She returned to the D.C. area and helped care for her mother in her mother’s later years. She kept up many of her contacts in the acting profession while in Washington and pursued her interest in writing. She wrote, produced and distributed her own quarterly bulletin titled the “Rampart Papers.”

Suggest you read, Hardball on the Hill,” by James C Roberts or the posting on ESPN also by Mr. Roberts, of which some of this was taken. Or the article previously written about him on our website, http://dcbaseballhistory.com/2012/10/james-jimmy-trimble-iii/

Continue reading »]]> The headline about the 7 May 1918 game between the Red Sox and Nationals at Griffith Stadium says it all, “Arise Babe Ruth!”

The highflying Red Sox lost to the 7-10 Washington squad with Walter Johnson getting the best of Dutch Leonard. But the day belonged to Babe Ruth. Here is what one paper recorded, “Arise, babe Ruth! You now belong to the exclusive circle of right field wall climbers in the Capital. And, Babe, it was a beaut! Lo and behold, here are the members of your club Babe: Harry Hooper, Harry Lord, Joe Jackson and Elmer Smith. Hooper is a club mate in two ways, belonging to the Red Sox with you and to the wall climbers as well. Furthermore, he is entitled to chief honors, for he poled the pill twice over that new garden wall. Babe has the habit. Last Saturday the big pitcher whaled Allan Russell for a homer at the Polo Grounds. Monday he picked on George Mogridge to the extent of one more. Yesterday he caught one of Walter Johnson’s fast shoots, with Amos Strunk perched on first base, and over the wall she went. Good sight.”

The next day his batting practice swats made the paper, “Babe Ruth crashed out two great whacks during the Red Sox’s batting practice. Ruth’s first smash knocked the number nine all the way out of the scoreboard in right field, while his second offering hit on the roof of the Brown house back of the garden wall foul line.”

Those who attended the game no doubt went home in awe at the Babe’s prowess. But they were witnessing history. Ruth was no longer a good hitting pitcher; he was the best power hitter in the game.

The previous day Ruth had replaced Dick Hoblitzeil, the Adonis like first-sacker in the line-up for the Red Sox. Hoblitzeil had a wounded finger so Ed Barrow, the manager, had Ruth play first base against the Yankees at the Polo Grounds. Funny how even non-baseball fans remember poor Wally Pipp but for the injury to the well respected Hoblitzeil the placement of Ruth into the line-up would have been delayed.

With Ruth in the line-up fans quickly took notice. Here is one press clipping from the game, “Ruth played first base. He played a bang-up game too, though he had nothing really difficult to do. But he did look like a first baseman, that’s what I mean, not a pitcher playing first base.”

Ruth would continue to pitch but was now a regular fixture in the line-up, he was too good not too. He was 13-7 in the box and batted .300 while leading the league with 11 home runs, with many more to follow.

1909 - After opening the season with 5 losses, Walter Johnson picks up his first victory over the Naps at Cleveland 3-2.

1920 - Deadlocked at the end of 14 innings at 3, the White Sox and Senators each score twice in the 15th. In the top of the 16th, the Pale Hose explode for 8 runs, a ML record for runs scored by a team in the 16th inning, as the Nats lose 13-5.

1948 - At St. Louis, the Sens get trounced by the Browns 17-7. The 17 runs is the most allowed by the Sens this year.

1952 - In his third year in the bigs, 40 year old P Connie Marrero shuts out the Browns at Sportsman Park 2-0. 1952 would be Marrero’s best season with a 11-8 record and a 2.88 ERA.

1962 – The Sens and Kansas City A’s split a doubleheader in D.C. Claude Osteen‘s solid start goes for naught as he surrenders a ninth inning homer to Manny Jimenez for a 1-0 A’s win in the opener. The Sens avoid the broom by pulling out a 7-5 victory in the second game.

1965 - At Tiger Stadium, the Senators blow 1 run leads in the 9th and 10th innings of a 9-8 defeat to the Tigers. After the Nats score 2 in the top of the 9th to take a 7-6 lead, Detroit C Bill Freehan ties it in the bottom frame with an RBI double. In the top of the 10th, PH Don Lock regains the Senators lead with a solo HR off Tiger P Ron Nischwitz. Now winning 8-7 in the bottom of the 10th, Sens P Marshall Bridges gives up a 2 run, game winning HR to Senators nemesis Dick McAuliffe.

1966 - Trailing the California Angels 5-2 going into the bottom of the 8th, the Sens stage a comeback. A 2 run HR by C Paul Casanova and a RBI single from RF Fred Valentine ties the game in the 8th. Frank Howard‘s RBI single in the bottom of the 9th off Angels P Lew Burdette completes the comeback and the Nats 6-5 win.

1969 - The Senators record their first ever victory over the Seattle Pilots at RFK 6-5. Mike Epstein‘s socks a 2 run homer in the 8th to put the Sens in the lead for good. Dennis Higgins gets the victory, while Seattle’s Marty Pattin absorbs the loss.

 

Senators Birthdays

Peter William Appleton* B May 20, 1904 D Jan. 18, 1974

*=Baseball Reference notes that Pete Appleton was born “Peter William Jablonoski” and legally changed his name to Appleton in 1933.

Pete Appleton played 14 years in the big leagues, from 1927 through 1945 although he did not appear in the majors in 1934 or 1935. Starting with the 1927 Cincinnati Reds, his career saw him on the rosters of the Cleveland Indians, Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, Washington Senators (twice), Chicago White Sox and the St. Louis Browns. After appearing in 1 game for the 1933 Yankees, Appleton wouldn’t appear in a major league game again until 1936 when he was picked up by the Senators. A pitcher, Appleton’s best season was 1936 when he appeared in 38 games for Washington, going 14-9 with an ERA of 3.53.

After the ’39 season, he was traded to the White Sox, along with Taffy Wright for Gee Walker.

Joseph Harris B May 20, 1891 D Dec. 10, 1959

Joe Harris was another player who bounced around the majors, playing for 6 teams in a 10 year career that included some “broken service”. Primarily a first baseman, Harris also played in the outfield and could fill in at short and 3rd. Appearing in 2 games for the 1914 Yankees, Harris would show up in the majors again with the Cleveland Indians in 1917 & 1919 and not return again until he made the Red Sox roster in 1922. He appeared in 192 games with the Senators in 1925 & 1926, hitting .323 with 12 home runs in 1925. From Washington, he headed west, to spend 1927 and a portion of 1928 with the Pittsburgh Pirates and finished the season, and his major league career with the 1928 Brooklyn Robins.

Tom Stephen (Plowboy) Morgan B May 20, 1930 D Jan. 13, 1987

Appearing in 14 games with the 1960 Senators, where he went 1-3 with an ERA of 3.75, Tom Morgan started with the Yankees in 1951 and ended his career with the 1963 Los Angeles Angels. His 8-2 record with the 1961 Angels was his best season. Morgan also appeared on the roster of the Kansas City Athletics and the Detroit Tigers.

Tom Morgan career record

Earl Wellington Rapp B May 20, 1921 D Feb. 13, 1992

Outfielder Earl Rapp played for 5 teams while only spending 3 years in the major leagues. Splitting 1949 between the Detroit Tigers and the Chicago White Sox, Rapp returned to the majors in 1951 splitting that season between the New York Giants and the St. Louis Browns. He returned with the Browns in 1952 only to be sent to the Washington Senators after appearing in 30 games for St. Louis. He appeared in an additional 46 games for the Senators and then disappeared from the major league scene. He actually had a couple of decent half seasons, hitting .327 in 26 games for the 1951 Browns and .284 in 46 games for the ’52 Senators. I think the poor guy just tired of moving.

Earl Rapp career record

Jose Antonio Sanchez Zardon B May 20, 1923 Still living

Appearing for just 1 season (1945) with the Senators, Jose Zardon hit .290, appearing in 54 games and playing in the outfield for the Senators.

Continue reading »]]> Ever since the Washington Nationals played their first game in D.C. in 2005 the team has played a game on May 20th each season. There really isn’t anything interesting about that fact that is until you comb though the numbers.

In the eight games the Nats have played on May 20th the team has record of 4-4. When you look a little closer you see where things get more interesting. In the eight games played on the 20th of May, four of those games were against Baltimore Orioles. The other four games were against Toronto, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and the New York Mets. In the four games against the Baltimore Orioles the Nationals have a record of 4-0. The Nationals outscored the O’s 38-14 in the four games. The Nats combined to hit 10 home runs against the O’s during the four games.

In the other four games the Nats were 0-4 and were outscored 19-9 and did not hit any home runs. We will see if the Nats can turn this trend around this evening when they take on the World Series Champions’ San Francisco Giants at A&T Park.
