NL Player of the Week - Mel Ott

NL Player of the Week

Mel Ott

Mel Ott (HA4) is the dominant player in the National League in our replay. This is no accident. Ott, who is less known today than he deserves, was a star in a period of stars.

Ott played his entire 22 year career as a Giant. He has 511 lifetime home runs. While this number may have been inflated do to playing in the home run friendly Polo Grounds with its short lines, the Polo Grounds were not, overall, a hitters' part given its huge foul territory and deep straigtaways. Ott's OPS+ usually hovered in the 150s (i.e. his on base percentage + slugging average expressed as a percent of the average) for many, many years. In short, if the Polo Grounds added significantly to Ott's home runs, it also signficantly reduced his other hits. As Bill James sums up, "Ott, had he played in another park, would have 100 fewer home runs, but his overall stats would have been as good or perhaps better than they are. He is not an overrated player..."

One of Ott's misfortunes is his undisputed title as the greatest player never to win an MVP. His lifetime win shares (a statistic used by Bill James to quanltify all a player's offensive statistics) of 525 is far higher than that of the next non-MVP, Eddie Mathews. He might have won in 1929, however, had the award existed at the time.

Ott was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1951.

NEW YORK AT DETROIT Yankees......... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 - 1 6 0 Tigers.......... 0 0 0 1 2 0 0 0 - 3 7 0 Win:Rowe(21-8) Loss:Ruffing(14-12) Homeruns- H.Greenberg(21st) Schoolboy Rowe pitched a complete game and center fielder Jo-Jo White had 2 base hits at Navin Field where the Detroit Tigers beat the New York Yankees 3 to 1. New York was unable to claim the lead after Detroit went ahead in the 4th inning scoring a single run. Detroit had a total of 7 hits for the game. Rowe(21-8) picked up the complete game victory, allowing 1 run. The losing pitcher was Red Ruffing(14-12). He allowed 3 runs and 7 hits in 7 innings. BOSTON AT ST. LOUIS Red Sox......... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 0 7 2 Browns.......... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5 - 5 7 0 Win:Newsom(16-9) Loss:Ferrell(15-6) First baseman Jack Burns had 2 base hits and 2 RBI and Bobo Newsom hurled a fine complete game shutout as the St. Louis Browns defeated the Boston Red Sox by the score of 5 to 0 at Sportsman's Park. Newsom(16-9) had a strong outing. He allowed just 7 hits and 5 walks in 9 innings. Both teams totaled 7 on the afternoon. Wes Ferrell(15-6) was hit with the loss. St. Louis now has a record of 60-82. With the loss Boston now has a record of 81-62. PHILADELPHIA AT CHICAGO Athletics....... 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 2 0 - 3 11 2 White Sox....... 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 - 2 2 0 Win:Dietrich(11-8) Loss:Kennedy(0-1) Homeruns- E.Madjeski(5th) Shortstop Eric McNair had 2 base hits and 2 RBI and Bill Dietrich carried a no-hitter into the 7th inning as the Philadelphia Athletics defeated the Chicago White Sox 3 to 2 at Comiskey Park. Dietrich(11-8) escaped virtually unscathed against the Chicago hitters. He was stingy on the mound, allowing just 2 hits and 3 walks in 9 innings. The right-handed Dietrich lost his no-hit bid when Al Simmons singled with nobody out in the 7th inning. Philadelphia had a total of 11 hits for the game. Vern Kennedy(0-1) took the loss. He pitched 9 innings allowing 11 hits and 3 walks. WASHINGTON AT CLEVELAND Nationals....... 0 3 3 0 0 1 0 2 0 - 9 12 1 Indians......... 3 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 - 5 15 2 Win:Stewart(4-16) Loss:Lee(2-5) Homeruns- P.Susko(3rd) Lefty Stewart tossed a complete game and shortstop Ossie Bluege had 3 base hits at League Park where the Washington Nationals beat the Cleveland Indians by the score of 9 to 5. Washington brought 3 runs across the plate in the 3rd inning. That early scoring was all that Stewart(4-16) needed. Despite losing, Cleveland out-hit Washington 15 to 12. Thornton Lee(2-5) was the loser. He got hit hard, allowing 6 hits and 3 walks in 2 and 1/3 innings. WASHINGTON AT CLEVELAND Nationals....... 0 1 0 0 2 2 0 1 1 3 - 10 19 0 Indians......... 2 0 0 3 0 0 0 2 0 2 - 9 13 4 Win:McColl(6-3) Loss:Hudlin(11-14) Save:Prim(2nd) Homeruns- B.Knickerbocker(7th) Pete Susko had 2 base hits and 2 RBI at League Park where the Washington Nationals beat the Cleveland Indians in 10 innings 10 to 9. The game was deadlocked at 7 after nine full innings. Finally, Washington pulled the game out in the 10th inning. Buddy Myer opened up the inning nicely when he laced a single. Luke Sewell came to the plate and lashed a single. After an out was recorded, Heinie Manush stepped in and he delivered a single, and an error was also committed, bringing in a run. Cliff Bolton came up and he doubled as another two runners scored. Cleveland was out-hit by Washington, 19 hits to 13. The win went to Alex McColl(6-3) who allowed no runs in 1 and 2/3 innings. Ray Prim gained credit for his 2nd save. The loss was charged to Willis Hudlin(11-14) in relief. He was not very effective, surrendering 4 runs in 2 and 1/3 innings.

The Philadelphia fans didn't appreciate the big day Klein had. He blasted a two-run home run (his 14th of the season) in the 1st inning, lashed a single in the 3rd inning and stroked a one-base hit bringing in a run in the 6th inning. Chicago lit up the scoreboard in the 3rd inning which saw them plate 3 runs on 6 hits. The Chicago offense poured it on, scoring in 7 of the 9 innings. Warneke(22-7) allowed 3 runs on the game. Syl Johnson(4-7) suffered the loss. He allowed 3 homeruns in 3 innings of work.

In the 4th inning Chicago scored 2 runs with the help of 3 hits. After an out was recorded, Babe Herman* began the rally when he laced a single. Tuck Stainback stepped up next and he tripled scoring a run. Bob O'Farrell then hit a single scoring the final run of the inning. Chicago rapped out 12 hits for the afternoon. The victory was credited to Bush(13-11) who went the distance, allowing 3 runs. Phil Collins(14-13) was the loser. He got hit hard, allowing 12 hits and 3 walks in 8 and 2/3 innings. 'I always am most impressed when a pitcher finds a way to win even without his best stuff,' Charlie Grimm said after the game. 'Bush did not have command of his pitches most of the afternoon, but he proved he really knew how to pitch!' CINCINNATI AT NEW YORK Reds............ 1 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 - 3 8 3 Giants.......... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 2 - 4 7 0 Win:Smith(4-7) Loss:Kleinhans(2-6) Homeruns- E.Lombardi(6th), M.Ott(43rd) Mel Ott touched them all and had 2 RBI as the phenomenal New York Giants rallied impressively to win in dramatic style over Cincinnati Reds, 4 to 3. New York came through with the game-winning runs in the bottom of the 9th inning with 2 runs. After two outs Bill Terry keyed the rally when he drew a walk. Ott was next and he smashed a two-run homer (his 43rd of the season) making New York the winners and sending the 9,581 fans home happy. New York had a total of 7 hits for the game. Al Smith(4-7) allowed no runs in 2 innings, and picked up the victory. Ted Kleinhans(2-6) was the loser in relief. 'What a game!,' Smith said afterward. 'When we won it I almost couldn't believe it!' CINCINNATI AT NEW YORK Reds............ 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 - 1 9 1 Giants.......... 0 1 1 0 0 1 3 2 - 8 13 1 Win:Schumacher(18-10) Loss:Freitas(5-13) Bill Terry had 3 base hits and 3 RBI as the New York Giants defeated the dreadful Cincinnati Reds 8 to 1 at Polo Grounds. New York took the lead for good in the 2nd inning scoring one runner using 3 hits. New York had 13 hits for the game and Cincinnati had 9. The victory was credited to Hal Schumacher(18-10) who went 8 and 1/3 innings, allowing 1 run. Tony Freitas(5-13) was tagged with the loss. He allowed 7 hits and 1 walk in 6 innings.

PITTSBURGH AT BROOKLYN Pirates......... 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 2 0 1 - 6 13 2 Dodgers......... 2 0 2 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 2 - 7 13 5 Win:Munns(7-6) Loss:Chagnon(5-2) Homeruns- P.Waner(13th) First baseman Sam Leslie had 3 base hits and 4 RBI at Ebbetts Field where the Brooklyn Dodgers beat the Pittsburgh Pirates in 11 innings 7 to 6. The score was knotted at 5 after nine innings. Brooklyn won the hard fought contest in the 11th inning. After an out was recorded, Joe Stripp opened up the rally as he slapped a single. Stripp was safe on a stolen base. Al Lopez then stroked a single bringing in a run. Lopez took second on the throw. Glenn Chapman got his turn next, but he was a strikeout victim. Buzz Boyle stepped into the box and was walked intentionally. Lonny Frey kept the inning going and doubled resulting in an exciting win for Brooklyn and a wild post-game celebration by the home town fans. Both teams totaled 13 on the afternoon. Les Munns(7-6) went 2 innings allowing 1 run for the win. The losing pitcher was Leon Chagnon(5-2) in relief. He pitched 2 and 2/3 innings allowing 4 hits and 1 walk.
