Northwoods League Report

Aaron Dott made history last week for the La Crosse Loggers. Dott pitched the first no-hitter in team history, with a 6-1 win over the Green Bay Bullfrogs last Wednesday.


“It’s something I’ve never done before in my life,” said the UW-Whitewater lefthander. “It’s very exciting.”


Dott surrendered seven walks and struck out four en route to the victory. He improved to 1-1 on the year.


“I didn’t really have my best stuff,” Dott said. “I was a little wild. My velocity was a little off. Of 134 pitches, I threw only four breaking balls. But, I was able to make pitches when I had to.


“I was able to throw a strike when I needed to. I also was able to get some batters to hit to the left side a couple times so the runner couldn’t advance. My teammates made the plays when they had to.”


NWL No-Nos


Here’s a list of other no-hitters that have been pitched in the NWL: Val Pascucci 7/16/98 Rochester W, 9-0 (G1); Brian Tarajack 8/5/98 Waterloo W, 4-0 (G2); Thomas Diamond 6/15/03 St.Cloud W, 5-0; Lance Broadway 6/25/05 Wisconsin W, 3-0; Adam Sanabria 7/3/04 Rochester W, 13-0; Greg Reinhard 8/6/04 Wisconsin W, 3-0; Andy Marks 7/16/07 Duluth W, 2-0 (G1); Aaron Dott 6/18/08 La Crosse W, 6-1.


Rocket Soaring


Michael Rockett has been one of the best and most consistent players in the NWL so far this season. Last Friday night in Mankato's 17-8 drubbing of Brainerd, Rockett drove in four runs to give him the league leadership in that category with 23 on the season. Rockett was a home run away from the cycle in the game going 3-for-5 with a single, double, and a triple. Rockett's 35 hits so far this year lead the NWL, as do his 19 runs scored.


Perfect Day


Bryan Holaday was perfect at the plate for Alexandria in their losing effort, 8-5, to the Eau Claire Express. Holaday went 5-for-5, hitting a home run, a double, three singles, and driving in two runs.


League Leaders


Through games Sunday, Mankato led the North Division with a 17-7 record. Wisconsin led the South with 17-6.


Waterloo Flooding


The Waterloo Bucks are playing their home games at Waterloo West High School while their ballpark recovers from flooding. A series with the La Crosse Loggers was moved to La Crosse.

Book Review: The Legend of Mickey Tussler

By Gregg Hoffmann

The Legend of Mickey Tussler, written by Frank Nappi, is in part a baseball book. But, it also is a novel about the cruelty and kindness people are capable of demonstrating, and the challenges of dealing with autism, before the term was even known.

Milwaukee baseball fans will find it particularly entertaining since Mickey is a rookie with the Brewers of the American Association in the 1940s.

Seventeen-year-old Mickey is discovered throwing apples, which he feeds his pet pig, Oscar, on the family farm. Arthur Murphy, a scout and manager for the Brewers, sees the potential in Mickey’s arm, even though the boy has never played competitive baseball.

Mickey has problems articulating his feelings, often withdraws from reality when faced with stress, and has been insulated from much of what then was modern life. That’s not necessarily a winning formula for a young man going into a high profile, competitive field like pro baseball.

The boy has been nurtured through life by his mother, Molly, but both have been victims of an abusive father and husband, Clarence.

Despite this baggage, Murphy, who hasn’t exactly has a lot of success with the Brewers, takes the boy under his wing and gives him a chance.

Mickey indeed becomes a phenom and a fan favorite. But, he continues to face many challenges, from jealous teammates, to unscrupulous, scheming opponents, and his difficulties in dealing with a hardnosed, competitive environment.

The boy experiences both the cruelty of those just mentioned, and the kindness of Murph, Molly and some of his teammates.

To give you any more information about the plot would reduce the drama and your enjoyment of a good read.

Suffice it to say, that the baseball sections of the book are well done. Nappi, who is from Long Island and has taught writing for 20 years, clearly knows the game and captures the action and environment of baseball in the 1940s.

The players’ names are all fictitious, with the exception of Warren Spahn, who shows up in one chapter. Spahn, already a star for the Boston Braves, the parent club of the Brewers, comes to Milwaukee to meet the rising star. The exchange between Spahn and Mickey is entertaining.

Nappi did his research and even spelled Borchert Field correctly, not something that is always done by authors from elsewhere.

About the only criticism Milwaukee readers might have is that Nappi portrays the town as much smaller than it was in the 1940s. For example, Murphy is supposed to live only a few miles from the ballpark, on what is known as Diamond Drive, but his neighborhood is described as one you might have found in a much smaller town of the era, or in a town like Westby, where this writer lives, in this era.

Milwaukee was actually a well-developed city in the 1940s. In fact, it ranked higher on the country’s population list of cities than it currently does. The Borchert neighborhood was a developed urban area, and Milwaukee was only a few years from getting the Boston Braves as its Major League team.

But, you can see where Nappi’s portrayal of the environment does fit better into the story line. The book is well written enough that you can ignore that one flaw and still enjoy it for the human journey taken by Mickey, and the vivid, well-crafted baseball passages.

The Legend of Mickey Tussler is published by St. Martin’s Press and is available through most bookstores and via www.amazon.com.

Weekend Wrap

The Cubs completed a sweep of the White Sox with a 7-1 win in the ESPN Sunday Night Game.

Ryan Dempster pitched six shutout innings and gave up one run in eight-plus innings. Dempster recorded his ninth win of the season. The Sox's Javier Vazquez took the loss.

Aramis Ramirez hit his fourth homer of the series and also had a RBI double. Eric Patterson also hit his first Major League homer for the Cubs.

Ramirez homered off Scott Linebrink in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Cubs a 4-3 win over the White Sox on Friday. He and Derrek Lee homered earlier in the game.

On Saturday, the Cubs scored nine runs in the fourth inning and went on to a 11-7 win. Jim Edmonds became only the third Cub in history to hit two homers in one inning during the big rally. Ramirez also had a homer in the rally.

The two teams will meet again next weekend on the South Side of Chicago.

The Brewers took two of three in their series with the Orioles. They lost the first game, 8-5, on Friday, but bounced back with a 3-2 win on Saturday. Seth McClung's pitching helped them to that win.

On Sunday, the Brewers won 5-3. Prince Fielder led the way with two homers.

The Twins extended their winning streak to five games by beating the D-Backs, 7-2 on Friday and 6-1 Saturday. A six-run seventh inning accounted for the second win.

Minnesota won its sixth straight Sunday, 5-3. The Twins had a five-run fifth inning. Brian Buscher and Alexei Casilla had key, two-run hits.

You can read more about all the games by going to the team web sites via MDR links.

Ramirez Earns Player Of Week

The Cubs' Aramis Ramirez had a clutch week at the plate to earn the MDR Player of the Week honor.

Ramirez hit the game-tying and game-winning homers in the Cubs' 4-3 win over the White Sox on Friday. He homered again and drove in four runs in an 11-7 win on Saturday.

Other MDR team Players of the Week included:

** the Brewers' Russell Branyan, who hit four homers in a five-game stretch during the week.

** the White Sox's Jermaine Dye, who powered up during the week, including homers in the first two games of the series with the Cubs.

** the Twins' Joe Mauer, who upped his batting average to .335 and played a big role in Minnesota's five-game winning streak.

Cubs Have Big Inning To Club Sox

The Cubs scored nine runs in the fourth inning Saturday and went on to a 11-7 win over the White Sox at Wrigley Field.

Jim Edmonds became only the third Cub in history to hit two homers in one inning during the big rally. Aramis Ramirez and Mike Fontenot also homered in the big inning.

Ramirez drove in four runs overall. Corey Patterson added three hits for the Cubs.

Jermaine Dye and DeWayne Wise homered for the White Sox.

The big win was a positive on a day when the Cubs fans got the bad news that Carlos Zambrano was placed on the 15-day DL with a shoulder problem.

The two teams wrap up the series in the ESPN Sunday Night Game.

Ramirez Beats Sox In 9th

Aramis Ramirez homered off Scott Linebrink in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Cubs a 4-3 win over the White Sox in the first game of a crosstown, MDR rivalry series at Wrigley Field.

Ramirez and Derrick Lee hit back-to-back homers off Octavio Dotel in the seventh to tie the score, 3-3.

The Sox had built a 3-1 lead on the strength of homers by Jermaine Dye and A.J. Pierzysnki, and the strong pitching of John Danks.

But, Danks departed after six innings, and the Cubs got to the Sox's bullpen. Kerry Wood got the win.

2. Vintage Set Profile: 1910 T209 Contentnea Cigarettes


   
 
T209-1
"First Series"
T209-2
"Photo Series"
Consisting entirely of middle-east-coast minor-league players, the sets designated as T209 by the American Card Catalog are actually two distinctly different series. Players used in both series are from the Virginia League, the Carolina Association and Eastern Carolina League.

Front and back examples of cards from each subset are shown at right.

The two subsets are further related in that they are very nearly the same size (roughly 1-5/8 x 2-3/4 inches; the first series is about 1/16 inch smaller). They were both produced in 1910 to promote the Contentnea Cigarette brand. However, that is where the similarity ends, and there are marked differences between the two sub-sets.

The "First Series," as it is labeled on the card backs, contains cards for only 16 players. They are pictured in a variety of both portrait and full-length action poses on brightly colored backgrounds (see "First Series" Gallery of Cards).

By contrast, the second "Photo Series" contains a whopping 222 players. Further, only black and white half-tone photographs are used in the Photo Series. Due to the card printing and production process, the Photo Series cards are often found with surface damage on the card fronts.

The backs for each of the T209 sub-series are also different, although the prominent "Contentnea Cigarettes" logo on both cards give them a common general appearance. One telling difference is in the first line of text at the top of each card, which clearly labels it as part of either the "First Series" or the "Photo Series."

Because the T209 set consists solely of minor league players (few of whom ever advanced to the majors), the set is relatively less popular among collectors. The scarcity of the cards, however, keeps their values up, especially for high-grade examples.

 Like most other tobacco card issues, both Contentnea sets were distributed as inserts along with the product that they promoted. The Contentnea sets are believed to have been packed in a box as shown here, which bears the same factory number identified on the backs of the "Photo Series" cards.

Set Profile information for the T209 sets is provided on the Old Cardboard website along with a Checklist and Gallery of cards in the T209-1 (color) subseries.

4. Need Help in Answering These Questions, Please



Feller Card (Origin Unknown ??)

W501 Wambsganss
Old Cardboard subscriber Gary Scott has ask us some questions, some of which we could not answer. Since we didn't want to let "the buck to stop here," we decided to pass the questions along to other readers. If you can provide any perspective to help answer these questions, please reply via email to editor@oldcardboard.com or contact Gary directly at bas130@att.net. Gary's questions are:

1) Why is the 1933 W574 set comprised of only 6 American League teams, and no NL teams?
2) I recently purchased a 1922 W501 card of Bill Wambsganss (see example above). The card shows him throwing left handed, when every resource I have indicates that he batted and threw right handed. If the photo was reversed, the letters on his shirt would also be reversed, but they are not. The "C" on the cap is also oriented correctly. My question: Was Wamby in fact left handed?
Answer: the answer to this question is actually found on the Old Cardboard website, but requires a little old fashion detective work. On the newly uploaded Gallery for the M101-4 "Sporting News" set, card #185 is labeled as Wambsganss and uses the same pose as in the W501 card shown above. Further, a notation in the M101-4/5 Checklist entry for Wambsganss states that the photo is actually Indians pitcher Fritz Coumbe. So no, shortstop Wamby was not a lefty, although teammate Coumbe was.

3) I am having trouble identifying the origins of the Bob Feller card (example above right). It is printed on creamy paper stock, is blank backed and measures 6-1/2 x 10 inches. The stadium is almost certainly League Park in Cleveland. The info at the bottom, in very small type, has stats and data thru 1940 and refers to the Sporting News twice, but never specifically states that the photo is a SN product. My best guess is that the photo was taken in 1940 or 1941. Was this a Sporting News issue? If not, who produced the card and was it part of a set?


My sincere thanks for any assistance in answering any of the above questions. --Gary H. Scott

5. Happy Centennial Birthday, Billy Werber



Bill Werber (1936 R314 Goudey
"Wide Pens" Premium)
Bill Werber, the oldest living ex-Major Leaguer, celebrated his 100th birthday this past Friday, June 20. He now resides in a retirement community in Charlotte, NC.

Werber's debut in the Majors was in 1930 with the Yankees, where he was a teammate to baseball superstars Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. He also played for the Red Sox, Athletics, Reds and Giants during his Major League career that spanned 13 years and ended in 1942.

Werber appeared in a number of 1930's card sets including the R314 Goudey "Wide Pens" premium card shown here, produced nearly three-quarters of a century ago. At that time, Werber was a just young lad, still in his twenties, from Berwyn, MD. Over his 1295-game Major League career that spanned thirteen years, he became his league's leader in several fielding categories. He he was also the leading base stealer in the American League in 1934.

Werber reminisced about some of his Major League experiences in a recent interview with Washington Post staff writer Dave Sheinin. Sheinin's interview was printed in the Post and can be accessed on-line at the newspaper's website.

We wish Billy a Happy Birthday and many happy returns.

6. News Briefs (A Digest of Recent Hobby Happenings)

Baseball in World War II. Leave it to Scottish author Gary Bedingfield to produce a very professional website (and a free monthly Newsletter) devoted to "Baseball in Wartime." Bedingfield is also author of the highly rated book entitled "Baseball in World War II Europe." Bedingfield's monthly Newsletter was launched in September of last year. In addition to well researched feature articles, it includes book reviews, news of related up-coming events, as well as obituaries and bios of former servicemen ballplayers. His well organized website includes additional related articles, detailed and illustrated biographies of those who served, and more. We recommend a visit to Baseball in Wartime website at www.baseballinwartime.com.

More Articles Added to Article Index. We have now added articles from another publication to Old Cardboard's Index of Articles about vintage baseball cards. Thus, several dozen vintage-card-related articles from Sports Scoop have now been indexed. Sports Scoop was a hobby magazine published in the early 1970s. Its contributors were among the leading collectors of the period and included such still-familiar names as Frank Nagy, Richard Egan, Buck Barker, Elwood Scharf and Keith Olbermann, as well as Sports Scoop editor Steve Mitchell. These additions bring the total count of articles in the index to 658--all directly related to vintage baseball card collecting.
