On May 29, 1972, former major leaguer Morris āMoeā Berg dies at the age of 70. In addition to playing 15 years in the big leagues, the talented Berg also gained distinction as an attorney, linguist, mathematician, and most curiously, as an American spy. @ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF90YWdzIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsiYmVmb3JlIjoiTGVhcm4gTW9yZSBhYm91dCB0aGUgdGVhbXMsIHBsYXllcnMsIGJhbGwgcGFya3MgYW5kIGV2ZW50cyB0aGF0IGhhcHBlbmVkIG9uIHRoaXMgZGF0ZSBpbiBoaXN0b3J5IGp1c3QgY2xpY2sgdGhlIHRhZ3MhICAiLCJhZnRlciI6IiIsImxpbmtfdG9fdGVybV9wYWdlIjoib24iLCJzZXBhcmF0b3IiOiIgfCAiLCJjYXRlZ29yeV90eXBlIjoicG9zdF90YWcifX0=@
1972Ā āĀ Dave RobertsĀ throws a complete game against the Dodgers, a 5-3 triumph, setting a team record with six consecutive complete games by the staff. Six different Astro hurlers take part. Roberts scatters five hits in this one which saw both managers ejected andĀ Bob WatsonĀ robbed twice by the men in blue.Ā
On May 24, 1972,Ā At Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, California Angels pitcher Don Rose homers on the first pitch he sees in his first major league at-bat against Oakland Aās left-hander Vida Blue. The right-handerās third inning round-tripper, which will be his only career round-tripper and the last hit by an American League hurler for thirtyā¦
5/22/1972Ā ā The Texas Rangers batted out of order in the bottom of the 10th inning against Chicago. Texas had made a double switch an inning earlier when Paul Lindblad entered the game as the new pitcher and Don Mincher went to first base. Evidently Rangers manager Ted Williams did not notify the umpire, who therefore recorded the substitutions in the same batting order slot as the previous players at the same defensive position. This is usually referred to as āstraight up.āĀ Thus when Mincher batted in the ninth spot in the 10th inning he was out of order. Lindblad was called out with Toby Harrah as the runner on first and then Elliott Maddox struck out to end the game, with the White Sox winning 7-6.
1972Ā āĀ Doug RaderĀ makes a spectacular stab of a liner by Jim Lefebrve then doubles up Wes Parker at third base to end a 2-1 victory over the Dodgers.Ā Bob Watsonās two-run shot provides the Astro runs.Ā
With a Ruthian blast at Philadelphiaās Veterans Stadium off Burt Hooton, first baseman Greg Luzinski āringsā the replica of the Liberty Bell hanging in dead center field on the fourth level. The 500-foot clanger, which will be overshadowed by Rick Mondayās three routine round-trippers, will account for the Philliesā only run when they lose to the Cubs, 8-1.
In theĀ RedsāĀ 4 ā 3 win over theĀ Giants,Ā Pete RoseĀ knocks in the winning run on an attemptedĀ intentional walk. On a 3 ā 0 count, Giants pitcherĀ Ron BryantĀ comes close to the plate with ball four and Rose drives it on the ground and reaches base on anĀ error.
On Opening Day in Oakland, Aās outfielder Reggie Jackson becomes the first player in fifty-eight years to wear a mustache during the regular season. The last time facial hair was worn in a major league game was in 1914 when Wally Schang had hair above his lip catching for Philadelphia Athletics.
1972Ā ā Astros put the shift on for Willie Stargell, leading 7-6 with two out and two on in the top of the ninth. It works as Stargell rolls out to shortstopĀ Roger Metzger, who is behind second base, for the final out. Houston had built a 7-2 lead behind homers fromĀ Cesar CedenoĀ andĀ Bob Watson.
