A Time Machine To 5 Events in Baseball History
If you could travel back to 5 events in baseball history, what would they be?
Could be a single game, an entire series, etc. Mine would be the following: 1. 1909 World Series between the Pittsburgh Pirates and Detroit Tigers 2. Jackie Robinson debut 3. Sandy Koufax's Perfect Game 4. Lou Gehrig's "Luckiest Man on the Face of the Earth" speech 5. Opening of the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1939 |
For me
1 Far and away ( but I think it would be a major disappointment) with miked up audio and instant replay.. The Babes Called Shot
2 The Shot Heard Round the World Bobby Thompson 3 Merkles “boner” to see what exactly did happen to that ball 4 Nig Clarke and his big multi homer game 5 Any game ( professional) in the 1880s to just soak up the atmosphere |
1) 7th game of the 1924 World Series.
2) August 2, 1907 in D.C. WaJo debut Etc. 3) Wood vs. Johnson, 1912. |
Jack Chesbro “wild pitch” game
Merkle ”boner” game (and the makeup) 1924 WS game 7 - “McNeely pebble grounder” game Babe called shot Enos Slaughter “mad dash” game |
Lou's speech
The shot heard round the world in 51 Last game of 55 World Series Game 7 of the 1960 WS May 7, 1959 for Campy night in the LA Coliseum https://www.net54baseball.com/pictur...pictureid=4070 |
Wow cool thread!
1. Relive the very first MLB game (Blue Jays in Toronto summer 2015) my wife and I took our kids to. True gold 2. Black Sox thrown series, Jackson innocent! 1919 World Series game #1 3. Honus Wagner world champion! 1909 World Series game #7 4. Hank Aaron’s 715 HR game! Beats Babe Ruth’s record on April 8, 1974 5. Any game with the fabulous Satchel Paige pitching! |
Wade Boggs 3000th hit
Roger Clemens both 20K games Eddie Mathews 500th HR Ted Williams 500th HR |
1905 World Series Game 5
September 6, 1912 Smoky Joe Wood out-pitches Walter Johnson Yankee Stadium Opening Day April 18, 1923 (Ruth homers) Mantle hits the YS facade May 22, 1963 Aaron Boone Game 7 ALCS 2003 |

Time of game = 95 minutes! https://www.baseball-reference.com/b...90510140.shtml |
June 14, 1870: the Atlantics defeat the Red Stockings, ending Cincinnati's 81-game winning streak.
There are others, such as Ruth's "called shot" and the Merkle Boner" game. I suspect I'd meet a bunch of Net54 members there. Make sure to bring a t-shirt in the time machine, so we can all meet up afterwards. :) |
1: October 5,1921 game 1 of 1921 World Series
2: game 7 of 2016 World Series Cubs/ Cleveland 3: any game of 1908 World Series to watch my Cubbies 4: the game where Ruth called his home run 5: the game with Ernie Banks hit his final Home run |

1. 1919 World Series. I'd spend the entire series yelling at Risberg, Gandil, Cicotte, Williams and Felsch about their treachery.
2. 1912 World Series. Wood, Matty, Speaker, 8 games. Best series of the dead ball era. 3. Shot heard round the world. Right before Thomson hits it, I'd shout to everyone around me, "Watch this!" 4. 1955 World Series. It would be fun to see the long-suffering Brooklyn fans delirious, knowing 2 years later their team would be gone forever. 5. 1941 All Star Game. The final inning, featuring Ted's monster game-winning home run, and his dancing around the bases, would be so classic to witness. |

I used to have different answers to this question, which means I've thought about it multiple times. I was picking specific games, such as watching John Ward and Larry Corcoran battle to a 16-inning 1-1 tie, or Lee Richmond's perfect game. I'd love to see Paul Hines turn the unassisted triple play, because from everything I've read and thinking about the specifics of how the play went down, I believe he did it. There are those who don't believe it happened based on a later account of the game, but more sources say he did it, plus the other explanation seems to have a major hole. Anyway...
Now my answer would be to have someone pick it for me based on criteria I set forth. I'd do that so I don't know what was going to happen in the game. I'd know it would be something exciting, but I wouldn't know exactly what would happen. I think it would make the game more enjoyable. Almost every pick would be 19th century, starting with going back to seeing Jim Creighton play, but not his final game. I'd see an old Alleghenys/Pirates game. I'd also like to see Walter Johnson pitch against Babe Ruth. |
9/30/27 Ruth hits his 60th
4/15/47 Jackie Robinson's first game 10/3/51 Bobby Thomson's homer 10/8/56 Larson's Perfect Game <strike>10/9/66 Orioles finish sweeping the Dodgers</strike> 10/13/60 Maz's homer EDIT...I knew I was forgetting a game I'd love to have been at and it bugged me that I couldn't put my finger on it when I was originally posting. I remember getting home from school in time to watch the last few innings of Game 7 of the Series in 1960 with my mom. I was a wild game even before Maz's game-winner. The nuns at St. Mary's in Nutley always rolled out the TVs for World Series games. We'd hustle to get the bus and get home to catch the end if a game if we were lucky. |
Marichal / Roseboro incident
1934 WS Aaron HR 715 Rose hit 4190 Brett pine tar incident Others considered: Buckner error Clemente hit #3000 Mantle last HR Maris HR 61 Ryan / Ventura incident |
Just one for me...
Dateline: Yankee Stadium - June 13, 1948 I'd sneak onto the field and sort of box out and block shutterbug Nathaniel Fein, and then snap pictures of Babe Ruth leaning on his bat, and immediately take the film to one of the numerous NYC papers and tell them, "Trust me, print the best of these shots. You'll thank me later." Of course, the downside is I'd be forced to live in the past for quite awhile as I await the presentation of my Pulitzer Prize. Guess that's the price you pay. |
Single games:
Alexander and Lazzeri 1926, only one mention so far. Thomson 1951. Ruth's 3 HR game 1934. Wood v Johnson 1912 Slaughter/Pesky 1946 |
July 2, 1963 - Marichal beats Spahn 1-0 in 16 innings, both throw complete games
Any perfect game. October 21, 1975 - World Series game #6 - Carlton Fisk June 3, 1932 - Yanks beat A's, Ruth hits 15 HR of season (#626 of career) July 10, 1932 - A's beat Indians, Johnny Burnett gets 9 hits |
1. Bucky Dent's dagger through the heart of every Red Sox fan (1978 AL East tiebreaker)
2. Reggie's three titanic homers (1977 WS Game 6) 3. Catfish Hunter's perfect game (May 8, 1968) |
Quote:
|
May 30, 1894 - Bobby Lowe's (4) HR performance. It was said after his second HR fans were throwing coins for him. True meaning of a FANatic for the game.
October 8, 1908 - Game between Giants and Cubs to determine the league championship. The game was played because of Merkle's boner. Accounts indicate it was a crazy scene at Coogan's Bluff. Any game in the early 20th century that would have had HOFers pitching against each other. Would really liked to have seen a Joss and Johnson matchup. May 25, 1935 - Watch Ruth hit his final HR (actually three that day) Any game in the summer of 1976 that Mark Fidrych started - I remember watching him pitch on TV. It was so different to see someone grooming the mound and talking to the ball. |
In no particular order
-Satchel Paige's 3 hit shutout in front of 78,382 people in August of 1948. Cleveland forth shutout in a row. It must've been rocking. -Monte Irvin putting on a show in the 1951 Game 1 of the World Series. 4 for 5 with a triple, steals home and robs Hank Bauer of a home run. -Randy Johnson's perfect game at 40 years old -Clemente's 3,000th -Ichiro hits 258 Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk |
Only one person listed Larson’s perfect game. To me, that’s probably #1. I am shocked how little it’s mentioned. A close second would be Babe’s called shot

First of all, amazing thread. Thanks for kicking off a great discussion.
In addition to the nominations already made, I'll add one more: - October 2, 1908: Addie Joss out-duels Ed Walsh, throws perfect game Two of the best pitchers of their era, and the 2 leading ERAs of all-time, battling each other in a game that actually had some playoff importance to Cleveland. • SABR Write up • Box score from the game • John Thorn's take on the perfect game And now some photos/cards... https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...20211018035430 https://tile.loc.gov/storage-service...470/1475fv.jpg https://tile.loc.gov/storage-service...470/1479fv.jpg |
Like the thread.
I'm going: -Washington National Club suffers only loss on western trip of 1867 -- late July in Chicago to Forest City (and Albert Spalding, 29-23). -Opening day in Washington in 1901 as the Kansas City Blues become the Washington Senators and part of the American League. -Opening day in Washington in 1912 as Clark Griffith takes over as manager. -Game 7 of the 1924 World Series (hopefully with seats near Hank). -Game 3 of the 1925 World Series (hopefully with seats near Val).

5 baseball events in the past
Definitely a great topic. A few of mine are duplicates, here it goes:
1) A weekend series circa 1887, when overflow fans would stand in fair play in the outfield as the game happened 2) A 1919 WS game 3) Johny Vander Meer back to back no-hitters 4) Roberto hit 3000 5) a 1930s "Tour of Japan" game Trent King |
Maz walk off 1960 WS
Larsen's perfect game Morris / Smoltz Game 7 Stan the Man 5 HR in DH (can two games in one day count:) Slaughter's Mad Dash |
1 - Ruth's called shot in the '32 Series. The most speculated about moment in baseball history. I NEED TO KNOW!
2 - Larson's Perfecto in the '56 Series. 3 - May 26, 1959 Braves vs. Pirates. Harvey Haddix pitches a 12 inning Perfect Game and somehow loses. The tension building throughout that game must have been unbearable! 4 - Game 7 of the 2001 World Series. I'd sit near the Yankee dugout and SCREAM to Joe Torre not to move his infield in. 5 - My son's MLB debut. No, this hasn't happened yet but I'm bending the rules just a bit :D |
1. Game 6 of the 2013 World Series - oh wait, I was at that one.
2. Game 4 of the 2004 ALCS - oh wait, I was at that one. 3. Game 6 of the 1975 World Series. 4. Game 7 of the 1955 World Series. 5. That All Star game where Ted Williams hit the dinger of the Rip Sewell Eephus pitch. |
In no particular order:
1. Yankees game in 1927 where both Gehrig & Ruth his HR's (not picky which one) 2. Aug. 15th, 1916 - Babe Ruth out duels Walter Johnson at Fenway (1-0) - might stick around afterwards and get some autographs :D 3. 1909 World Series - game 7 4. 1991 World Series - Twins game 6 (over game 7) 5. Jackie Robinson's first game Bill |
So much to read up on!

Great thread!
1) Nap Lajoie hitting for the cycle with a grand slam on July 30, 1901 in the inaugural year of American League when he won the triple crown and hit .426 2) Oscar Charleston facing Walter Johnson in an exhibition game (date unknown) 3) Babe Ruth's called shot Oct. 1, 1932 in Game 3 of Wor Series at Wrigley Field. 4) Josh Gibson's legendary 600-foot home run that reached the backyard of the Belmar Post office in Belmar, NJ on July 24, 1936. 5) Mets vs. Red Sox in game 6 of World Series on October 26, 1996. Honorable Mentions: 1) Christy Mathewson gets 3rd shutout in Game 5 to close out World Series vs. Charles "Chief" Bender and the Philadelphia Athletics on October 14th, 1905. 2) Addie Joss' perfect game on Oct. 2 1908 when he outdueled Ed Walsh. 3) Grover Cleveland Alexander's strikeout of Tony Lazzeri with bases loaded and two outs in 7th game of 1926 World Series. 4) Jackie Robinson's first game with Dodgers 5) Game in which Willie Mays caught a ball off Bobby Morgan at Ebbets Field in Sept. '51 in which he dove parallel in the air, hit the wall and knocked himself out. Upon awakening he saw Leo Durocher (who was checking on Mays' health) and Jackie Robinson who had come all the way from the dugout. Mays said that was his best catch ever. |
Only a couple that haven't been already mentioned:
1. Sandy Amoros terrific catch off a Yogi Berry sliced fly ball to left, which saved the Dodgers WS victory in '55. 2. Any game when Jackie Robinson steals home. 3. The incident when a sliding Ty Cobb purportedly sliced up Frank Baker with his spikes. 4. On the pathos side, maybe when Gil McDougal's line drive hit Herb Score in the eye. |

Great thread. I can think of about 5 for each era, but here's 5 in no particular order. 1. World Series Game 3 10/14/1905- Matty pitches 3rd shutout. 2. Tigers vs Highlanders 5/12/1911- Cobb puts on a base-running clinic. 3. Senators vs Red Sox 9/6/1912 Walter Johnson vs Smoky Joe Wood. 4. Negro League World Series Game 1 9/8/1942- Satchell Paige vs Josh Gibson. 5. World Series Game 1 9/29/1954- Willie Mays "The Catch". And some cards. - |
Nice mention of the Willy Mays catch ,
Would like to have a seat with a nice side angle view . - being a Cardinal fan The double hitter Stan Musial hit five home runs . And here’s a crazy fact (new to me) - The next player to hit five home runs in a doubleheader was Nate Colbert - an eight year old Colbert was in attendance at Musials Double hitter |
My Five:
1. Harvey Haddix pitches 12 perfect innings
2. Roger Maris hitting his 61st 3. Mickey Lolich winning World Series Game 7 in 68. 4. Kirk Gibson hitting the 9th inning homer off Dennis Eckersley 5. First game I ever went to: Friday August 31, 1962 Tigers-White Sox Jim Bunning defeats John Buzhardt 5-2. Don Mossi in relief. |
I would have loved to be at:
Lou Gehrig's luckiest man speech July 4, 1905 to watch Rube Waddell battle Cy Young in dual 20 inning complete games. Carl Hubbell at the 1934 All Star game Satchell Paige pitching for the A's in 1965 at 58 years old Babe Ruth hitting his final three home runs on May 25, 1935 |
It's surprising how so many people mentioned perfect games, no-hitters and pitching duels. Although it would be great to say you were there for a historic accomplishment, to me it means missing out on a huge part of a game, seeing those old time players smashing the ball. Different strokes, I guess.

In no particular order:
Jackie's debut in '47 Slaughter's Mad Dash in '46 Fisk's homer in '75 Thomson's homer in '51 Owen's passed ball in '41 |

Adding one I haven't seen yet. Comiskey Park Thursday, July 12, 1979 Disco Demolition Night. RIP Bill Veeck. - |
my top five
1. 1908 the Merkle game.
2. Last game of the 1912 World Series. 3. Cobb spikes Wagner - or not - in the 1909 World Series. 4. 1908 -Joss perfect game in the last days of the greatest pennant race ever. He only threw 74 pitches to beat Ed Walsh. 5. Walter Johnson pitching to Ty Cobb for the first time in 1907. |
Great thread! Here's mine:
1) Closest seat to the batter's box to watch Ruth's called shot in the '32 World series 2) Larsen's perfect game 3) Vander Meer's 2nd no-hitter 4) 1975 World Series game 6 which made me a Reds fan 5) Any Ted Williams home run game (fave player that I never saw play live) Runner up: If you could get me to the closest point where he made "the catch" then it would be the 1954 Mays World Series catch |
That 1975 WS game 6 was incredible!
|
Doug, post #25 had you asking about the photo in post #14.
My grandfather, Mathew Wakefield, was born in 1880. I have a handful of memories of him, he passed when I was 6 or so. I recall that at my Aunt's house, in an upstairs bedroom, was my grandfather. On his dresser was that picture. I think he was showing me a pocket watch or pocketknife, and I recall that photo. Later, I remember wondering about it. New York on the jersey, NY on the hat. Had to be the Yankees. It being the Giants was inconceivable to my peanut kid brain, I knew the Giants were in San Francisco. As a pre-teenager, I figured out who Dusty Rhodes was, and the picture was on my little desk in my room. By college days I realized that in the 1954 World Series Dusty Rhodes went 4 for 6, with 7 RBIs and 2 home runs. And before grad school I am aware that he did that in 3 games, the lore being that he'd celebrated so much after game 3 that he was unlikely to be called upon to bat, but I now doubt that. Dusty didn't start any of those games. His first HR was down the right field line, much less than 300 feet. Some of the Media considered it a cheap home run. The Media had less to say about that after his HR in game 2 was out to center field, way more than 400', out there where Willie had made The Catch the day before. Daddy Wake, as I knew him, had been a farmer, in western Kentucky. He had some renown in being able to raise a good tobacco crop, and being skilled in treating tobacco for the various disease and insect problems. In later years he ran a newstand in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. That was the home of the Hopkinsville Hoppers, of the class D Kitty League. Dusty started professional play there in 1947, with the Hoppers, hitting .326 and slugging .474, in 125 games. Here's a link to his bio: https://sabr.org/bioproj/person/Dusty-Rhodes/ So... that picture is the image used on the 1955 Topps cards of Dusty Rhodes, card #1. NY fans loved him because he ran hard to first, and could reach the short outfield wall in right, down there by the foul pole. I decided to try and make copies of the photo, and that's when I learned it's not a photo. It's a PMT. Photo Mechanical Transfer. It was a bunch of dots. I eventually got several copies made. I'm thinking either Daddy Wake knew Dusty from that 1947 season, or maybe Dusty made his way through Hopkinsville, KY and Nashville, TN (he played there in 1952, before going up to the Giants in July) on some sort of a dinner speaking circuit, or maybe as a salesman for one of the Distilleries in that fine state that provides fine bourbon for sensible folk. In the early 2000's I wrote Dusty, he lived in Redbud, CA at the time, I sent him several of my reprints (that had no trace of the writing), and a copy of my original. I asked him to sign 2 of them and mail them back in the SASE I'd sent, and suggested he keep the others for himself. And I asked some questions. He sent the photos back, asked me a few questions, didn't recall Daddy Wake, and answered my questions. The only other time I've seen one of these it was offered in one of the best auctions going, Scott Brockelman's. I bid enough that I got it. That SABR bio is a brief, interesting article, even if you hate the Giants. And look at retrosheet.org for the play by play. I wrote those guys, asking questions and for signed index cards (which is sent, with SASE's), most signed. Sadly, I wrote Don Liddle just after he had passed, my recollection is that his wife sent me a photo that he'd signed. Marv Grissom signed and answered questions. I think it was he that told me... Don Liddle came into that first game to relieve Maglie after the first two reached. Liddle pitched to Wertz, who hit that ball 460' feet to center, leading to The Catch. Durocher had seen all that he wanted from Liddle, and sent me it. As I get to the mound and get the ball, Don turns to me and said "I got my man, you get yours." |

This is a most interesting thread! My choices, in chronological order:
(1) Any 1888 or 1889 home game won by the Washington Nationals in which both "Dummy" Hoy and Connie Mack played the entire game. Hopefully, I would get their signatures on N172 Old Judge cards after the game. (2) 1924 World Series, Washington's only WS Championship - hopefully seated next to Hank T. & George T. (3) 1925 World Series, Game 3 in which Sam Rice made his famous, disputed catch as he tumbeled over the short right field wall into the temporary stands - hopefully seated next to Hank T. & George T. (4) July 30, 1962, the second 1962 All-Star game (at Wrigley Field) in which Pete Runnels (my favorite Senator when I was a kid and winner of the 1962 AL batting title) hit a pinch-hit home run (Runnels was not a power hitter). (5) April 8, 1974, at Atlanta when Hank Aaron hit his 715th home run to pass Babe Ruth. |
Quote:
|
1) Home town boy Jake Beckley hitting 3 homers on Sept. 26, 1897 in St. Louis
2)June 3, 1932 Lou Gehrig hitting 4 homers and almost a 5th in one game. 3) Aug. 19, 1951 and Eddie Gaedel batting. My father was at that game and we didn't know it until I mentioned it one day. He said it wasn't a big deal to him since he was there for the cheap Falstaff beer that day. 4) Oct. 10, 1926 GCA in the 7th game of the 1926 Series. 5)Oct. 9, 1934 Dizzy Dean wins the 7th game of the WS. |
For me:
1) Ruth’s infamous called shot game 2) 55 worlds series Jackie steals home //Yogi “he’s out” game 3) Any 1906-1911 Chicago Cub game 4) Attend the very 1st enshrinement to the baseball HOF 5) 56 worlds series Don Larsen perfect game |
Any game
that shows Sam Thompson in RF wearing a glove. Joe Gonsowski found an obscure newspaper reference that is convincing, but we still do not know definitively whether Thompson was right handed or left handed.

Great to hear everyone's excellent choices ! Here are 3:
1. The 1917 Timothy Murnane Benefit game at Fenway Park, including the non-game skills. 2. The first All-Star game July 6, 1933 3. Nolan Ryan's August 20, 1974 game in which he was clocked at 100.9 (closer to 108 mph due to clocking reading near home plate) And I was actually there - but would love to go back in time and see it again ! Is still listed in Guinness Book of World Records. 4. August 15, 1916 Babe Ruth, pitching for Boston, defeats Walter Johnson 1-0 in 13 innings |
1)Ted Williams' home run in his last at bat (still undecided between that and the double header in Philadelphia on the last day of the 1941 season)
2)A pitching duel between Mathewson and Mordecai Brown 3)The game where Josh Gibson hit the ball in Pittsburgh that came down the next day in Philadelphia. 4)Bobby Thompson's home run 5)A game pitched by Ol' Hoss Radbourn down the stretch in 1884. |
1) 1867 National Association of Base-Ball Players Convention -- to talk some sense into them and approve entry of the Pythians into the league and stop segregation from taking root in the game.
2) Game 7 Of 1937 Ciudad Trujillo Championship 3) Game 6 of the 1986 Mets Red Sox World Series 4) April 18th - 1946. Jackie's debut for the Montreal Royals in NJ. 5) The 1930 or 1934 game where Josh Gibson purportedly hit one out of Yankee Stadium, or close to it. Honorable mention: Any game Ruth played in. |
Great thread. My picks:
1909 World Series - Cobb v Wagner Babe Ruth Pitching for the Red Sox June 3, 1932, Yankees vs Athletics - Gehrig gets 4 HRs Nolan Ryan's last no hitter Sandy Koufax's Perfect Game 1968 World series Game 1: Bob Gibson gets 17 strikeouts |
Games
June 4, 1974 Cleveland Stadium for the 10 cent beer night. Heard many stories about this game. When I was at Youngstown State one of my history professors went to the game, and he would tell the story of what he saw that night. It also was better than hearing about what ever history he was lecturing about on that day.
|
1) 1955 WS Game 7
2) Gil McDougal’s line drive into Herb Score’s face 3) Aaron’s 1974 shot off of Al Downing 4) When Rose laid out Fosse 5) Rick Monday’s big save in the outfield |
1. Snodgrass Muff in 1912 WS - (I'd take this one over Merkle).
2. 1919 WS Game 1. 3. Ruth's called shot 1932 Gm 3 4. Thomson's Shot Heard 'round the world - I'd also send a note down to the dugout to not pitch Branca. 5. 1955 WS Game 7 |
1. Ruth called shot game
2. Reggie Jackson three HR WS game 3. Ted William's last games of 1941 4. Koufax perfect game The fifth I was at---Aaron Boone HR playoff game against the Red Sox off Tim Wakefield |
|
Aaron #715 would be the top for me.
https://photos.imageevent.com/exhibi...ron%20num1.jpg 1976 ALCS game 5 is #2. https://photos.imageevent.com/exhibi...0Topps0010.jpg #3 is 1988 WS game 1, the Gibson HR Koufax's perfect game is next. Ryan's most dominant no-no would round it out |
First 2 are no brainer
1. Jackie Robinson debut 2. Babe Ruth called shot 3. Wagner vs Cobb 1909 WS game 7 4. Hank Aaron 715th HR 5. 1919 WS game |
