AL Trade June 6th
The Baltimore Orioles traded 30 yr old catcher Les Moss to the Chicago White Sox for 33 year old relief pitcher Harry Dorish.
Since entering the big leagues in 1946 when the team was the St Louis Browns, Moss has been with the same organization except for a brief stint with Boston in 1951. He was hitting .254 with 1 HR and 5 RBI in 59 AB's so far this season.
In his 9th major league season, and 5th with the White Sox, Dorish was 1-0 with a 2.60 ERA in 17 IP over 12 games so far this season. He had one save this year. Since 1950 he has always pitched over 90 innings in relief every year.Wednesday, July 12, 2006

Jackie Robinson had 2 base hits and Billy Loes was able to finish what he
started and was credited with a complete game at Ebbets Field as the Brooklyn
Dodgers won in their last at-bat beating the St. Louis Cardinals by the count
of 6 to 4.
Brooklyn scored the decisive runs in a big bottom of the 9th inning with 2
runs on 2 hits. Robinson got things going when he stroked a one-base hit.
Sandy Amoros stepped into the batter's box and he cleared the fences for a
two-run home run (his 7th of the season) making Brooklyn the winners and
sending the 26,468 fans home happy. Both teams totaled 8 on the night.
Loes(5-2) allowed 4 runs on the game. Barney Schultz(0-2) took the loss in
relief. He gave up 2 runs and 2 hits without retiring a batter.

Catcher Del Crandall smacked 2 homeruns and had 4 RBI as the Milwaukee Braves
defeated the Philadelphia Phillies by a score of 8 to 7 at Connie Mack
Stadium.
The Philadelphia fans didn't appreciate the big day Crandall had. He ripped a
solo home run in the 2nd inning and smashed a two-run homer (his 10th of the
season) in the 7th inning. Philadelphia had a chance in the 9th but they
came up short.
Bob Buhl(5-2) picked up the victory, allowing 4 runs in 6 and 2/3 innings. The
loss was charged to Dave Cole(0-3). He allowed 3 homeruns in 4 and 2/3
innings of work.
Mayo Smith was subdued after the ballgame, 'That one really hurts. If our
guys had simply played more fundamentally sound, we could have won that one.
That is what really ticks me off!'

the game without help from the bullpen at Connie Mack Stadium as the
Philadelphia Phillies came back dramatically to top the Milwaukee Braves by
the score of 5 to 4.

drew a walk. Roberts next to the plate and he cleared the fences for a
two-run home run making Philadelphia the victors to the delight of the home
town faithful. Philadelphia had a total of 12 hits for the game.

fans - they were going wild! Yes sir, a very enjoyable win this afternoon!'

Left fielder Ray Jablonski lofted one into the 'cheap seats' as the Cincinnati
Redlegs defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates in 12 innings by a score of 7 to 6 at
Forbes Field.
The score was tied at 5 after nine. Cincinnati won the hard fought contest in
the 12th inning. Jablonski was the sparkplug when he lofted a solo-blast
'downtown' (his 4th of the season). Chuck Harmon followed and he lined a
one-base hit. Two outs later Johnny Temple stepped in and he banged out a
single scoring the final run of the inning. Pittsburgh had 14 hits in the
game while Cincinnati had 8, but Cincinnati had the more timely hits.
Art Fowler(6-1) went 3 innings allowing 1 run for the win. Vern Law(5-2) was
tagged with the loss in relief. He gave up 3 hits and 1 walk in 1 inning.
Rookie Sam Jones tosses a two hitter and the Cubs win 4-2 sweeping the doubleheader from the Giants.

Sam Jones tossed a fine 2 hitter and Jim King hit a homerun and had 2 RBI as
the Chicago Cubs defeated the New York Giants by the score of 4 to 2 at Polo
Grounds.
Chicago came up with 2 runs in the top of the 6th inning when they had 3 base
hits. The key offensive moment was provided by King who disappointed the
partisan crowd when he blasted a two-run home run (his 2nd of the season).
Chicago totaled 8 on the afternoon.
Jones(4-6) was the winner allowing 2 runs for the game. Jim Hearn(5-5) was
tagged with the loss. He surrendered 4 runs and 8 hits in 8 innings.
'We didn't have a whole lot of chances today,' Lou Durocher said. 'Jones just
was too much for our guys.'
Ernie Banks goes 3-3 with a home run and 3 RBI as the Cubs take the doubleheader opener 6-3.

Ernie Banks blasted a homerun and had 3 RBI as the Chicago Cubs topped the New
York Giants by a score of 6 to 3 at Polo Grounds.
Banks had a big day with his bat. He delivered a single in the 2nd inning,
rifled a three-run blast (his 12th of the season) in the 3rd inning and
doubled in the 8th inning. New York had a chance in the 9th but they came up
short.
Jim Davis(2-0) got the win allowing 3 runs in 8 and 1/3 innings. John Andre
earned his 1st save. Sal Maglie(3-2) ended up with the loss. He was touched
for 3 homeruns in his 2 and 2/3 innings of work.
Lou Durocher was subdued after the ballgame, 'That one really hurts. If our
guys had simply played more fundamentally sound, we could have won that one.
That is what really ticks me off!'
