Re: Game Info - Kansas City Royals at Oakland Athletics - August 30, 1990 -

I've been to a bunch of playoff games but this was the most exciting game full of big plays that I've ever seen - most of them by Bo Jackson and Rickey Henderson. With Steinbach on 3rd, Bo threw him out at the plate ON A SINGLE to left in the 7th - a liner that Bo charged and Steinbach had to wait to see if it was caught - still I think the best baseball play I've ever seen. Then Bo came up in the 8th and took Eck out VERY deep to left - caroming off the Budweiser sign hanging from the 2nd deck, which I'd never seen anyone hit before. Surrounding the Bo highlight reel were a number of big hits by Rickey and Willie Randolph who had 4 hits and scored the winner in the 9th. This was an untelevised afternoon game, otherwise those Bo highlights would have been added to all the others we've all seen and loved.

Re: Game Info - Boston Red Sox at Cleveland Indians - August 22, 1957 -

I was at this game. My father took me. It was my first baseball game at a stadium.(I watched games on tv) It was a nice sunny day. I remember Jackie Jensen's home run. The error by Carresquel, what I remember was an infield popup that I think he lost in the sun. Unfortunately the Indians got beaten badly that day....

My first ever MLB Game that my dad took me to. Got there very early to watch batting practice and I got a foul ball hit by Toby Harrah. Just got him to sign it in 2018! Has some toning but still have it in my display case today!!

The first game that I ever attended. And the winning pitcher Gary Kroll have spoke on the phone and I have an autographed ball from him that marks the occasion.

Re: Game Info - Cleveland Indians at Philadelphia Athletics - August 24, 1954 -

who were the managers of each team? I am baffled of how johnny gray could pitch a complete game and his arm did not fall off, and how a 4-1 game could be played in 2:17.

Re: Game Info - Detroit Tigers at New York Yankees - May 26, 1962 -

I have always remembered remembered the Yankees pitcher throwing the ball while Rocky Colavito was bending over the plate. In the ensuing confusion, I believe Dick McAuliffe stole second base. Dizzy Dean and Pee Wee Reese (?) announcers.

changing teams

How do I change The Reds from 1942 to 1975 against the Yankees of 1927?

• • •

Simply select the 1975 Cincinnati Reds and the 1927 Yankees in the selection menus.

1991 June 6 Rangers Royals

Does anyone know where I can locate a video you tube copy of this game? A midweek afternoon game that started Ryan vs Saberhagen Royals won in 18 innings.

Information

Regards. I am writing to you from Costa Rica (I am Venezuelan) and I am in a project about Latinos (pioneers) in the major leagues from their origins. I'm in search for who was the Cuban who connected the first hit in the big show. The game happened on July 4 (2011) and both Marsans and Almeida went 2-1, but the innings box score does not appear. Could you help me?
