January 30, 1960 â When Henry Aaron was informed that new manager Charlie Dressen was considering moving him from right field to second base, Aaron responded, âIâll play second if heâll play third.â
On June 19, 1952 At Ebbets Field, Carl Erskine throws a no-hitter against the Cubs in the Dodgersâ 5-0 victory. A third-inning walk to the opposing pitcher, William Ramsdell, which accounts for the only runner to reach base, may have been a result of skipper Chuck Dressen telling the 25 year-old right-hander to speed upâŠ
Don Mueller hits two more home runs, giving him five in two days, to tie a major league mark. His second homer, again off Phil Haugstad, comes a minute after he learns he is a new father. Bobby Thomson adds his 25th homer and Jim Hearn beats the Dodgers, 11 â 2. After Muellerâs second homer, Haugstad decks Thomson and hits Willie Mays with a pitch, evoking a warning from umpire Al Barlick. Barlick had earlier thumbed Ralph Branca and Dick Williams in the 5th inning, Don Newcombe in the 6th when he objected to a call, and Jackie Robinson and rookie Clem Labine. Chuck Dressen then clears his bench to avoid any more thumbings. The Giants move to five games behind Brooklyn.
The Piratesâ Ralph Kiner drives in seven runs, hitting three home runs, including his 10th grand slam, in a 13 â 12 slugfest win over the Dodgers. His final homer, a solo shot off Erv Palica in the 8th, breaks a 12 â 12 tie. Manager Chuck Dressen berates Palica, publicly questioning the pitcherâs courage by clutching his throat in a choke signal. In Kinerâs final at bat, in the 9th, Carl Furillo pulls down the sluggerâs long drive near the CF gate. Joe Garagiola and Gus Bell also homer for the Bucs, while Roy Campanella and Jackie Robinson homer for Brooklyn.
