Default October Pickups

Posted By: ramram

Like most all baseball broadcasters, Claude Haring (broadcaster for many years with the Philadelphia A's, Phillies and Pirates) kept score of the radio games he worked. I picked up some of his scorebooks containing hundreds of games that he announced in the 1940's to 1960's. One of the most interesting that I have come across so far contains Satchel Paige's first Major League win from a game while pitching for Cleveland and pitching in relief of HOFer Bob Lemon. Haring has misspelled his name as "Page".
