Tomorrow is Buck Herzog's birthday. Born July 9, 1885 in Baltimore, Maryland......Charles Lincoln Herzog had an interesting BB career (1908-1920) as a
player and a Manager.
From 1908-1917 there was a love - hate relationship between Buck Herzog & John McGraw (reminiscent of the Billy Martin & George Steinbrenner years
of the late 1970's). During 7 years with the NY Giants, McGraw hired and fired Herzog 3 times over.
Reflecting back on his playing days with McGraw, Herzog commented.. "The old man and I had our arguments, I guess because we both liked to win so
well. But, when he got into a pinch and needed someone to put fire into his team, I am glad to remember he always was calling back Buck Herzog."
I'll start this show with some of my cards of Buck..........
