1907 Regular Season

Philadelphia’s Nap Lajoie finally returned from a devastating injury which almost ended his career. He suffered a torn labrum early in 1905, and came back to early. The result was a re-injury, which caused him to the rest of the 05 season, all of 1906, and the beginning of 1907.

He’s 32 now, he played 17 rehab games in AAA Baltimore, where he hit .352. His first game back in the Bigs was June 11^th, against the Browns. Lajoie went 1/3, with 2 BB’s and 2 RBI’s. He sprained his finger a week later. Nothing serious, but injuries are obviously a major concern now.

On July 2^nd, Ed Delahanty went 1/3 against the Doves, which tied him with Cap Anson on the all-time hits list with 3418. Delahanty went 1/3 the next day setting the all-time record. It’s kinda fitting he does it opposite Ty Cobb, who should be able to challenge the record one day.

A very surprising story emerging out of Boston. The Doves trail the Reds by 3 games. It’s Sep 1, so lots of baseball left. This story hits the wire…

Is this the death of his father, which affected the real life Cobb his whole life, but occurred in 1905 in real life? Is this have to do with Ty’s greed, and maybe his holding’s in the Coca Cola soda company? Is this some sort of under the table suspension for jumping into the stands and beating a handicapped man? I’m sure more will be learned as time goes on!

With just 1 week remaining in the season, Nap Lajoie’s luck stayed the same. Broken Kneecap. 8-9 months recovery. He was having a fantastic return, hitting .369. He’ll be almost 34 if all goes well in rehab.

The Doves faded without their young star, and no more news came out about what Cobb was upto. The Reds returned to the World Series, and would take on the New York Highlanders, who set the new MLB win record with 105
