About Richard BarbieriRichard Barbieri is a recent college graduate--history major, natch. He previously maintained This Annotated Day in Baseball History. He is a new entry into the workforce, with a job that now allows him the income to buy even more baseball books. This is sure to thrill him and horrify those he lives with in equal amounts.Choose year: 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 Richard Barbieri's Articles2008This annotated week in baseball history: May 4-May 10, 1981May 09, 2008On May 5, 1981, Maury Wills lost his job as manager of the Seattle Mariners. Wills had led the team only since Aug. 4 of the year before, but already had one of the most disastrous managerial tenures in history. Richard looks back on the lowlights. This annotated week in baseball history: April 27-May 3, 1961May 02, 2008On April 30, 1961 Willie Mays became just the ninth player to hit four home runs in a game. Richard looks back on Mays' feat, and the other men who have clubbed four round-trippers in a single day. This annotated week in baseball history: April 20-April 26, 1937April 25, 2008On April 20, 1937, Gee Walker of the Tigers hit for the cycle on Opening Day. Walker managed his feat "in reverse," starting with a homer and working his way down to a single. That’s one of many cycle-related facts that Richard shares this week. This annotated week in baseball history: April 6-April 12, 1946April 11, 2008On April 8, 1946, James Augustus Hunter was born. Thanks to the machinations of Charlie Finley, he would be known to the wider world as "Catfish." Richard looks back on Hunter, and the rest of the "All-Sea Creature Team." This annotated week in baseball history: March 30-April 5, 1969April 04, 2008On April 1, 1969, the Seattle Pilots traded little-known outfielder Lou Pinella to Kansas City. Thanks to moves like that, a year later Bud Selig bought the Pilots and moved them to Milwaukee. Richard looks back at the history of Seattle’s first major league team. This annotated week in baseball history: March 23-March 29, 1961March 28, 2008On March 24, 1961, the New York State Senate approved money for the construction of a baseball stadium in Queens. On that anniversary, Richard looks back at New York’s "other" baseball stadium, one which also will be lost to the ages after this season. This annotated week in baseball history: March 9-March 15, 1901March 14, 2008On March 11, 1901, John McGraw announced the signing of Tokohama, a Native American he hoped to deploy at second base for his Baltimore Orioles. That was just one of the transactional shenanigans that took place during this week of March. This annotated week in baseball history: March 2-March 8, 1939March 07, 2008On March 8, 1939, Jim Bouton was born. He would go on to fame as a Yankees pitcher and even greater fame as the author of Ball Four. He is one of many baseball writing talents to have a birthday this week. This annotated week in baseball history: Feb. 24-March 1, 1966February 28, 2008On Feb. 29, 1968 Lean Blackburne died in Riverside, California. His legacy in baseball, however, lies in a river in New Jersey and continues to this day. Richard looks into just what that legacy entails. This annotated week in baseball history: Feb. 17-Feb. 23, 1963February 22, 2008On Feb. 20, 1963 the Chicago Cubs hired Bob Kennedy to be the head man on their team in 1963. This effectively put an end to a unique—and ill-conceived—plan. This annotated week in baseball history: Feb. 10-Feb. 16, 2008February 15, 2008On Feb. 10, 2008, Richard visited the supreme location for all things sport in the world. He comes back with a couple of photos, an explanation for his theory and what all of this has to do with baseball. This annotated week in baseball history: Feb. 3-Feb. 9, 1979February 08, 2008On Feb. 7, 1979, the Mets acquired Jesse Orosco in a trade. On Sept. 27, 2003, he faced his last major league batter. In between were nearly 9,000 days, 1,252 games and a noteworthy career. This annotated week in baseball history: Jan. 20-Jan. 26, 1962January 25, 2008On Jan. 13, 1962 a San Francisco attorney—representing himself—won a lawsuit against the Giants over his seating at the ballpark. That attorney and his lawsuit make for quite the story. This annotated week in baseball history: Jan. 20-Jan. 26, 1969January 18, 2008On Jan. 15, 1969 Delino DeShields was born. Under 25 years later, he was dealt to the Dodgers in exchange for Pedro Martinez, one of the worse trades of all-time. This week Richard looks at the careers of the “other men” in such lopsided moves. This annotated week in baseball history: Jan. 6-Jan. 12, 1918January 11, 2008On Jan. 9, 1918, Ferrell Anderson was born. A career .261 average in fewer than 100 games belies the incredible achievement of Anderson reaching the major leagues. This annotated week in baseball history: Dec. 30-Jan. 5, 1963January 04, 2008On Jan. 2, 1963, David Cone and Edgar Martinez were born. The pair were connected in Game Five of the 1995 ALDS, which was not only a great game, but helped shape baseball for the next decade. Click here to return to the home page. |
