[edit] Trivia

  • "The spitball pitch was banned by Major League Baseball in 1920, but those who were grandfathered in were permitted to continue using it in their arsenal. One of those still pitching who "wet his pill" was Burleigh Grimes; two (2) starts, two (2) wins, and seven (7) innings of no-hit pitching in Game 3."
  • "The same two teams faced off during the 1930 World Series and the Athletics were victorious. The only day-to-day player in the Cardinals' lineup who was different in 1931 was the "Wild Horse of the Osage," Pepper Martin — a 27-year-old "rookie" who spent seven (7) years in the Minor Leagues and led his team during this series in runs scored, hits, doubles, runs batted in and stolen bases."
  • The Athletics captured their third straight American League pennant — winning 107 games — tallying their 3 year total to 313 wins.
