DETROIT AT NEW YORK Tigers.......... 1 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 - 5 10 0 Yankees......... 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 1 0 - 3 10 1 Win:Hogsett(1-1) Loss:Gomez(7-6) Save:Auker(1st) In a good matchup it was the Detroit Tigers 5, the New York Yankees 3 in 10 innings at Yankee Stadium. The score was knotted at 3 after nine innings. Detroit was victorious in the 10th inning. After two were out Hank Greenberg opened up the rally as he was hit by a pitch. Ray Hayworth next to the plate and he laced a single. Marv Owen then doubled which was good for two runs. Both teams totaled 10 on the afternoon. Chief Hogsett(1-1) picked up the victory, allowing 1 run in 1 and 2/3 innings. Elden Auker earned the save, his 1st. Lefty Gomez(7-6) was the loser. He pitched 10 innings giving up 10 hits and 3 walks. DETROIT AT NEW YORK Tigers.......... 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 - 4 7 1 Yankees......... 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 - 3 9 1 Win:Hogsett(2-1) Loss:Murphy(4-4) 9,809 fans were treated to a fine game at Yankee Stadium as only one run separated the combatants at game's end. The Detroit Tigers won by the slimmest of margins, 4 to 3. The score was tied at 3 after nine. Detroit won the hard fought contest in the 10th inning. Pete Fox lined a one-base hit.

CHICAGO AT PHILADELPHIA White Sox....... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 0 3 0 Athletics....... 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 - 3 7 0 Win:Marcum(6-3) Loss:Gaston(4-5) Johnny Marcum was on top of his game, blanking Chicago on just 3 hits as the Philadelphia Athletics defeated the Chicago White Sox by a score of 3 to 0 at Shibe Park. Marcum(6-3) pitched one of his finer games as he simply was too much for the Chicago batters. He allowed just 3 hits and 2 walks in 9 innings seeing his ERA drop from 4.83 to 4.32. Philadelphia rapped out 7 hits for the afternoon. The losing pitcher was Milt Gaston(4-5). 'He was moving it around and spotting it very well.' Jimmy Dykes said. Marcum pitched a great game.

Pearson(7-5) looked very much in control throughout the day. He didn't allow much, just 2 hits and 7 walks in 9 innings reducing his ERA from 3.44 to 3.20. The right-handed Pearson lost his chance for a no-hitter when Fred Schulte singled with one out in the 7th inning. Cleveland had a total of 10 hits for the game. Earl Whitehill(10-3) absorbed the loss. He gave up 4 runs and 9 hits in 7 innings. ST. LOUIS AT BOSTON Browns.......... 0 0 2 0 1 0 1 1 0 - 5 10 3 Red Sox......... 0 1 0 2 0 0 0 0 1 - 4 8 0 Win:Knott(1-1) Loss:Rhodes(4-8) Homeruns- S.West(10th), L.Lary(1st) Sammy West hit a homerun and had 4 RBI and Jack Knott allowed Rogers Hornsby to rest his bullpen, tossing a complete game as the St. Louis Browns outscored the Boston Red Sox 5 to 4. West was a thorn in the side of the hometown fans as he enjoyed a fine day at their team's expense. He smashed a two-run homer (his 10th of the season) in the 3rd inning, stroked a single bringing in a run in the 5th inning and lined a one-base hit plating a run in the 7th inning. Boston had a chance in the 9th but they came up short. Knott(1-1), allowing 4 runs for the game, picked up the victory. Gordon Rhodes(4-8) ended up with the loss. He pitched 7 innings giving up 8 hits and 1 walk.

ST. LOUIS AT BOSTON Browns.......... 1 1 0 0 0 2 0 1 0 - 5 11 1 Red Sox......... 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 1 5 2 Win:Coffman(1-6) Loss:Grove(4-3) Dick Coffman came through with a solid 9 innings and center fielder Sammy West hit 2 doubles as the St. Louis Browns topped the Boston Red Sox by a score of 5 to 1 at Fenway Park.

Reproduction Baseball Caps

Reproduction Vintage Ball Caps

Recently, I made two acquisitions of reproduction Tigers caps from bygone days. The first was from 1912. Made by American Needle, it is white with a blue Olde English "D" and and bill. The second is from 1952. Made by Cooperstown Caps, it's blue with an orange "D" that is a little simpler in design from that on today's Tigers caps.

American Needle

American Needle does a very good job with their caps. They are made of quality materials, and look great. Costing between $20 and $25, they are of good value. There are many to choose from. One good source for these caps and other vintage baseball goods such as pennants and jerseys is Dugout Memories.

Cooperstown Caps

If American Needle is the GM of vintage ball caps (good quality, mass market pricing), Cooperstown Caps are the Mercedes, Lexus or BMW. Made of real wool with an (optional) leather lining, you know you're wearing something special. Because they make them to order, you can get nearly any cap made. This is not an exagerration. Even if you don't plan to purchase a cap, you'll be amazed at their variety. Not only are there major league teams past and present, but old company teams, military unit teams, etc. You can even get fictional teams' caps such as the Bad News Bears or the New York Knights.

Of course, such luxury comes at price. The caps cost $45 normally (in August they go on sale for about $10 less). They can be reached here.

Disclosure: Beyond being a customer, I have no connections to either of these companies. I just thought readers of this blog would find this information interesting and decided to share it.
