VINTAGE BASEBALL MEMORABILIA Vintage Baseball Memorabilia Octover 7, 1926 – Game 5 of the World Series, with the Series tied at 2-2‚ 39‚552 pack Sportsman’s Park to watch Herb Pennock and Bill Sherdel duel again. The Cards score first on a double by Jim Bottomley and single by Les Bell. Ragged play costs the Cards…
The Pirates break an 8-game losing streak by beating St. Louis. They move into second place, dropping the Cards to third.
7/1/1926 – In the bottom of the first inning at Braves Field, Doc Gautreau was on second with two out. Eddie Brown walked but the Phillies pointed out that he had batted out of turn. Thus, Dick Burrus, who was the correct batter, was declared out and the Braves stranded Gautreau at second. The Braves eventually won the contest by scoring three runs in the seventh frame.
6/30/1926 – The Reds were in Chicago and in the first game of the doubleheader, Cincinnati shortstop Frank Emmer and catcher Bubbles Hargrave swapped spots (7th and 8th) the first three times through the order. Although Hargrave did have a single in the 2nd inning, he did not drive in any runs so the Cubs bided their time. In the 8th inning, Hargrave batted with two outs and singled to give the Reds an apparent 4-0 lead. At this point the Cubs noted the batting order problem and Emmer, the proper batter, was declared out, keeping the score at 3-0 in favor of Cincinnati. The Cubs scored two in the bottom of the 8th, but fell short, losing 3-2.
6/23/1926: The Phillies and the Giants attempted to play a doubleheader at the Polo Grounds but rain washed it out. The Phils had scored five runs in the first inning, including a three-run homer by George Harper off Virgil Barnes.
The St. Louis Cardinals pick up future Hall of Famer Grover Cleveland Alexander, who was placed on waivers by the Cubs. The acquisition of ‘Old Pete’ will prove to be pivotal to the Cardinals as he goes 9-7 down the stretch and helped seal their World Series triumph over the Yankees when the 39 year-old right-hander wins Games 2 and 6 and saves Game 7 of the Fall Classic.
