100 years ago today, August 26, 1924, Alex Kellner was born. He won 20 games in 1949 pitching for a bad team. Alex has a losing record for his career due to pitching for bad teams. That's why he is relegated to being a common in all the cards sets. I knew Ozzie Van Brabant's son. Ozzie had a cup of coffee with the Philadelphia Athletics, who were awful during this early 1950s time frame. One name mentioned was Alex Kellner, who Ozzie thought could have been a very good pitcher on a better team.

Ted Lyons must have done something on August 27, 1924.

On Aug. 27, 1924 Ted Lyons did something that would probably not happen today. He pitched 8-2/3 innings (which could still happen but does not very often) and gave up 15 hits and 9 runs (8 earned). It is doubtful a pitcher today would be in the game long enough to allow that many runs (or runners). I can't find a pitch count, but I would guess it was "a lot".
He took a 12-3 lead into the ninth but was taken out with the score 12-8 and runners on first and second. Sarge Connally came in and got the (retroactively credited) save by walking one, hitting a batter to force in a run, and getting the last batter to ground out.

One hundred years ago today, Cleveland played the (post Black Sox) White Sox in a game that had "No True Outcomes", meaning there were no walks, strikeouts, or Home Runs.
https://sabr.org/gamesproj/game/augu...mes-game-ever/ https://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/...281CLE1924.htm Can you imagine a game today without a walk, strikeout or Home Run? May never happen again. Last edited by cgjackson222; 08-28-2024 at 01:49 PM.
