John McGraw trades for Bill Dahen

John McGraw trades for Bill Dahen

ByThis Day in Baseball

Continuing efforts to build a winner in New York, John McGraw acquires 34-year-old SS Bill Dahlen from Brooklyn in exchange for pitcher Jack Cronin and iron-fingered SS Charlie Babb. McGraw says this is the trade that makes the Giants into winners. In 1904, Dahlen will top the National League with 80 RBI. When he retires in 1911, he will have fielded more chances than any other SS.

The Chicago Orphans lose, 2 – 1, to Brooklyn when Bill Dahlen hits a sacrifice fly to bring home Brooklyn’s Wee Willie Keeler. Brooklyn C Deacon McGuire throws out five Chicago runners.

1889 – In the most controversial game in American Association history, the Browns walk off the field in Brooklyn while leading, 4 – 2, in the 9th inning. They claim it is too dark to play, but the lighted candles in front of their bench by owner Chris Von der Ahe make umpire Fred Goldsmith determined to finish the game no matter what. Several St. Louis players are hit with bottles as they leave the grounds.
