NL Player of the Week - Arky Vaughan

NL Player of the Week

Arky Vaughan

Pirates shortstop (HA2) Arky Vaughan had a good day yesterday - he had many good days during his Hall of Fame career. Vaughan played his first 14 years in Pittsburgh (1932-1941) before moving to Brooklyn for his last four years. He was a nine time All Star (as he was in our replay) and frequently on the OPS top ten. He was particularly adept at drawing walks, getting the most in four seasons and finishing in the top ten 7 times.

Bill James lists this not terribly well known player as the second greatest shortstop after Honus Wagner. His selection, writes James, "was as much a surprise to me as it was to [the reader]." Wagner is a lock for #1, says James, but there's no obvious #2. His 1935 season is the best for any shortstop other than Wagner, and his three best seasons (34-36) are better than the three best of any shortstop (again, except Wagner). Based on top three, the best shortstops are Wagner, Ripken, Cronin, Yount and Cronin. Finally, he also is #2 in "win shares" to Wagner for shortstops. He was, however, subpar amoung the top 50 shortstops on the field (as we saw in our All Star game, his two booted balls in the 9th cost the NL the game). James notes that very few good hitting shortstops were also good fielding ones as well, though.

He was named to the Hall of Fame in 1985.

Betts(9-11) came through with a virtuoso performance against the Cincinnati hitters. He was stingy on the mound, allowing just 3 hits and 1 walk in 9 innings. Boston finished with 7 hits in the victory. Allyn Stout(5-10) was the loser. 'It's been a rough ride lately, but this was a good win for us' said Bill McKechnie, 'Maybe this will put us back on track.'

Pittsburgh scored 3 runs in the top of the 5th inning with the help of 3 hits. They ended up being the winning runs. Pittsburgh banged out 12 on the afternoon. Larry French(16-12) picked up the victory, allowing 4 runs in 7 innings. Curt Davis(12-13) was charged with the loss. He pitched 8 and 1/3 innings giving up 12 hits and 1 walk.

Hoyt(15-10) pitched a solid game. He surrendered 10 hits and no walks in 9 innings. Pittsburgh kept the pressure on throughout the contest as they scored in 6 different innings. Euel Moore(6-9) ended up with the loss. He got hit pretty hard, allowing 12 hits and 3 walks in 8 and 2/3 innings.

September 15th, 1934 - AL Player of the Week - Lefty Gomez

AL Player of the Week

Vernon "Lefty" Gomez

Although he got off to a somewhat slow start, the best pitching performance in both leagues to date has been turned in by Lefty Gomez (22-9, 2.03 ERA in our replay) (HA 67).

Gomez was a mainstay on the NY Yankees rotation from 1930 through 1942, and played one final season in Washington in 1943. He was a seven time All Star and finished in the top 10 for MVP three times. He had many very good years, and three great ones (1931, 1934 and 1937). He has one of the greatest post season records of all time as well (5-0, 2.86 ERA in 5 World Series).

Players of the time consider him to be one of the hardest throwing pitchers of the era despite his slim frame. When told that if he gained 20 pounds he'd make people forget Lefty Grove, he recalled "I gained the 20 pounds and almost made them forget Lefty Gomez").

As that story indicates, Gomez was well known for his humor, and baseball lore is rich with Lefty Gomez stories (when he stopped pitching in the middle of a World Series game to watch an airplane fly overhead, his manager Joe McCarthy asked him if he was trying to lose - Gomez responded that he never saw a pitcher yield a run by not throwing the ball) and witty comments (e.g., "I'd rather be lucky than good," "The secret of my success was clean living and a fast outfield"), which earned him the nickname "El Goofy."

His sense of humor proved a lucrative source of post baseball income as he was an in-demand speaker on the after dinner circuit and he was active for decades after his all days were over. In 1979, after having triple bypass surgery, he told audiences that "it was the only triple I ever had." After being picked off second, his manager asked "what happened there?" Gomez responded "how the hell do I know? I've never been there before." His minor league managerial career was so dismal, he joked, that he had to have victory dinners after the rainouts.

He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1972.
