NABL News: Draft Pool Revealed
Tuesday, September 12th, 1950
For the entrants in this year's rookie draft, released today by the league, the possibilities are endless. Some will immediately seize their opportunity to play in the bigs with a venom, doggedly working their way up through the system to arrive on the pro circuit in three to five years, if they are lucky. Others will struggle, have their hopes dashed, reborn and dashed again, all the while not fully giving up on the dream. Still others will take each day as it comes, while not losing sight of the end-game. They will figure it out, quietly work their way into the professional ranks and have solid, if not spectacular careers in North American BaseBall League. At any rate, teams now can scout the draft pool for the next 30 days.

The top players available (in no particular order) seem to be:
1. Bob Friend, 19 year-old starting pitcher out of high-school.
2. Bob Nieman, 23 year-old right fielder out of college.
3. Bob Cerv, 24 year-old left fielder out of college.
4. Gil McDougald, 22 year-old third baseman out of college.
5. Bill Sarni, 22 year-old catcher out of college.
6. Clint Courtney, 23 year-old catcher out of college.
7. Frank Thomas, 21 year-old center fielder out of college.
8. Pete Runnels, 22 year-old shortstop out of college.
9. Irv Noren, 25 year-old center fielder out of college.
10. Mickey Mantle, 18 year-old center fielder out of high-school.

Top Defensive Players Named by AL
Thursday, October 19th, 1950
Defense is a critical element in the game of baseball. Many times late in the game, a light-hitting defensive specialist will be inserted in place of a superstar hitter.

Pitcher: Jerry Staley (Detroit Tigers)
Catcher: Roy Campanella (Chicago White Sox)
First Baseman: Johnny Mize (Chicago White Sox)
Second Baseman: Hank Thompson (New York Yankees)
Third Baseman: Al Rosen (Cleveland Indians)
Shortstop: Boyd Bartley (Washington Senators)

Friday, October 20th, 1950
The brightest new star in the National League has been named. The 1950 Newcomer of the Year Award has been handed out to Cincinnati's second baseman Bobby Avila, who outshined all his first-year peers in the balloting and on the diamond.

He hit .376 for the Cincinnati Reds, racking up 222 hits, 10 home runs, 69 RBIs, and 111 runs scored to capture the trophy.

American League Selects Top Rookie
Friday, October 20th, 1950
The American League's Newcomer of the Year Award winner for 1950 is Minnie Minoso, the 24-year-old third baseman for the Philadelphia Athletics.

He won the award by hitting .316 and collecting 181 hits, 21 home runs, 118 RBIs and 85 walks with 113 runs scored and a .415 on-base percentage.

NL Best Mound Performer Named
Sunday, October 22nd, 1950
The New York clubhouse staff referred to him as "the kid" this season. Next year Robin Roberts will have to have a new nickname. He earned it after winning the 1950 National League Walter Johnson Award.

Roberts made 37 starts this year, winning 25 and losing 10. He threw 304.2 innings, fanned 133, allowed 280 hits and 58 walks, while holding opposing teams to a .245 average as he logged an impressive 2.84 ERA.

Walt Masterson Nabs Prestigious Walter Johnson Award
Sunday, October 22nd, 1950
The Walter Johnson Award for 1950 has been presented and the American League winner is Walt Masterson of Cleveland.

"It's always nice to receive an award like this," said Masterson. "I just hope I can improve on my performance next year and be in the running again," the Indians star told reporters.

Masterson excelled with an impressive 20-7 record in 31 starts. In 247 innings he yielded 214 hits and 132 walks, while striking out 95 and compiling a fine 2.81 ERA.

Best Batter Named by National League
Monday, October 23rd, 1950
Bobby Thomson put together a fine season at the plate for Boston, capturing one of baseball's most coveted offensive honors, the National League Ty Cobb Award.

He posted a .315 batting average and a .373 on-base percentage this year while reeling off 185 hits, 21 doubles, 6 triples, 40 home runs and 130 RBIs.

AL Top Hitter, 1950 Choice Is Snider
Monday, October 23rd, 1950
Duke Snider, Cleveland's outstanding center fielder, took home the American League Ty Cobb Award for 1950.

This season he put up some strong stats, including a .319 batting average and a .397 on-base percentage. In 150 games he piled up 191 hits, 33 doubles, 8 triples, 35 home runs, 127 RBIs and scored 119 times.

St Louis Browns Off Season Moves
It's Official: SP Sain Signs with Browns
Saturday, November 18th, 1950
St. Louis fans could barely contain their jubilation as Johnny Sain, considered one of the best at his position, opted to sign with the club.

The deal, estimated at $325,000 over 5 years, is seen as a masterstroke for the General Manager's office and could well go down as one of the shrewdest moves in club history.

Since his debut in the league, Sain has posted 106 victories and 78 defeats with an ERA of 3.47.

NABL News: Draft Pool Revealed
Wednesday, September 12th, 1951
One of the few things certain about the 1951 first-year player draft is that it will be held 30 days from now. Today the NABL announced its list of players filing for the event, though little is publicly known about any given player, sending scouts from each of the league's clubs scattering to uncover what they can in as little time as possible. Some clubs will draft the ideal prospect late, while others will stake their futures to big-name prospects, those deemed most likely to succeed by the fickle, nameless consensus.

The top players available (in no particular order) seem to be:
1. Harvey Kuenn, 20 year-old shortstop out of college.
2. Toby Atwell, 27 year-old catcher out of college.
3. Andy Carey, 19 year-old third baseman out of high-school.
4. Jim Rivera, 29 year-old center fielder out of college.
5. Harvey Haddix, 25 year-old starting pitcher out of college.
6. Stu Miller, 23 year-old starting pitcher out of college.
7. Mickey Mantle, 19 year-old center fielder out of college.
8. Sandy Amoros, 21 year-old right fielder out of college.
9. Billy Hoeft, 19 year-old starting pitcher out of high-school.
10. Vinegar Bend Mizell, 21 year-old starting pitcher out of college.

NABL News: Playoffs begin
Monday, October 1st, 1951
What began months ago as a dream is now reality. The trade deadline has passed, along with all the GMs' wheeling and dealing. Contract negotiations are on hold until another time. Front office work is all but on the back burner. Now it's time for each club, player, coach and manager to put a unique imprint on North American BaseBall League history. Nobody will remember the free agent who got away last winter. No one will care about the trade that fell through right before the deadline. People will remember just one thing about the playoffs -- the team that wins the North American Series crown. That's the reason they play the game. The North American Series starts today with these match-ups:
Philadelphia Phillies versus Philadelphia Athletics.

Gil McDougald put together a sparkling rookie season to snag the National League's Newcomer of the Year Award for 1951.

In 150 games, the Chicago third baseman hit .283 with 164 hits, 16 home runs, 91 RBIs, 67 walks, 82 runs scored and a .354 on-base percentage.

Saturday, October 20th, 1951
The debut season of Washington's center fielder Willie Mays was capped off today with the announcement that he has been crowned the 1951 American League Newcomer of the Year Award winner.

Here are his season stats: 150 games played, a .304 average, 180 hits, 31 home runs, 67 walks and a .377 on-base percentage. Mays also drove in 112 runs and scored 99 times.

National League Best Pitcher Chosen
Monday, October 22nd, 1951
The Walter Johnson Award for 1951 has been presented and the National League winner is Mike Garcia of Cincinnati.

"It's always nice to receive an award like this," said Garcia. "I just hope I can improve on my performance next year and be in the running again," the Reds star told reporters.

Garcia excelled with an impressive 25-8 record in 36 starts. In 278.1 innings he yielded 290 hits and 96 walks, while striking out 132 and compiling a fine 2.97 ERA.

Philadelphia Hurler Tops in Walter Johnson Award Voting
Monday, October 22nd, 1951
Philadelphia's Ray Scarborough took home the 1951 American League Walter Johnson Award earlier today after a remarkable season on the mound.

With a record of 23-7, Scarborough was certainly a worthy winner. He made 35 starts and posted 276.1 innings, 111 strikeouts and a 3.22 ERA.

Superb Year For Williams, Wins Ty Cobb Award
Tuesday, October 23rd, 1951
Pittsburgh's Ted Williams put the wraps on a fine campaign today by winning the 1951 National League Ty Cobb Award.

The 33-year-old veteran scorched the opposition with a .319 average, picking up 199 hits, 34 doubles, 4 triples, 42 home runs and 132 RBIs, while scoring 115 runs.

AL Names Ty Cobb Award Winner
Tuesday, October 23rd, 1951
Ralph Kiner of the New York Yankees proved that you can step out of the shadows and onto the stage if you've got the talent and the drive to hone your skills. Hard work, long hours and a tireless resolve paid off for him today in the form of the American League Ty Cobb Award.

Kiner hit for a .271 average while collecting 147 hits, 19 doubles, 3 triples, 39 home runs, 112 RBIs and scoring 109 times.

1952 Season

Major News
Dodgers, Browns Make Trade
Sunday, November 25th, 1951
Reports have surfaced that Brooklyn has agreed to send 35-year-old shortstop Phil Rizzuto to the St. Louis Browns in exchange for 29-year-old left fielder Don Lenhardt and 20-year-old minor league reliever Raul Sanchez. "It's a done deal," said one executive speaking on the condition of anonymity. "I'm surprised word got around so quickly. We just signed off on this an hour ago." The deal apparently is awaiting physicals before an official announcement is made by either team.

For his 1235-game career Rizzuto has hit .274 with 1190 hits, 473 RBIs, and 39 home runs.

His career numbers show Lenhardt is currently carrying a .265 lifetime batting average with 39 home runs and 143 RBIs.

Funeral Tomorrow in St. Louis
Thursday, December 6th, 1951

His son, Marcos Hendrix Jr., will take over the ownership of the team. He is said to be a lenient character with a fiscal personality of economizer.

They swept the Cleveland Indians in straight games, winning the series 4-0. The Giants disposed of Cleveland 4-3 in the series finale at Cleveland Stadium. I will be in control of St Louis Browns. Draft Retirements Awards NL Names Glove Wizard Award Choices for 1950 Thursday, October 19th, 1950 "Flashing the leather" and "good with the glove" are ways to describe players who help their teams by playing great defense. Today the most dependable glovemen in the National League for 1950 were announced. Glove Wizard Awards will be presented to these top-notch defenders: Pitcher: Johnny Vander Meer (St. Louis Cardinals) Catcher: Phil Masi (Pittsburgh Pirates) First Baseman: Terry Lyons (St. Louis Cardinals) Second Baseman: Jackie Robinson (Brooklyn Dodgers) Third Baseman: Hank Majeski (Pittsburgh Pirates) Shortstop: Granny Hamner (Brooklyn Dodgers) Left Fielder: Hoot Evers (New York Giants) Center Fielder: Bobby Thomson (Boston Braves) Right Fielder: Bill Howerton (New York Giants) Top Defensive Players Named by AL Thursday, October 19th, 1950 Defense is a critical element in the game of baseball. Many times late in the game, a light-hitting defensive specialist will be inserted in place of a superstar hitter. Good defenders are worth their weight in gold and today the best of them for 1950 have been recognized. These players will receive the American League Glove Wizard Award: Pitcher: Jerry Staley (Detroit Tigers) Catcher: Roy Campanella (Chicago White Sox) First Baseman: Johnny Mize (Chicago White Sox) Second Baseman: Hank Thompson (New York Yankees) Third Baseman: Al Rosen (Cleveland Indians) Shortstop: Boyd Bartley (Washington Senators) Left Fielder: Charlie Uhlir (Washington Senators) Center Fielder: Joe DiMaggio (Detroit Tigers) Right Fielder: Vic Wertz (Boston Red Sox) Avila Is NL's #1 Rookie Friday, October 20th, 1950 The brightest new star in the National League has been named. The 1950 Newcomer of the Year Award has been handed out to Cincinnati's second baseman Bobby Avila, who outshined all his first-year peers in the balloting and on the diamond. He hit .376 for the Cincinnati Reds, racking up 222 hits, 10 home runs, 69 RBIs, and 111 runs scored to capture the trophy. American League Selects Top Rookie Friday, October 20th, 1950 The American League's Newcomer of the Year Award winner for 1950 is Minnie Minoso, the 24-year-old third baseman for the Philadelphia Athletics. He won the award by hitting .316 and collecting 181 hits, 21 home runs, 118 RBIs and 85 walks with 113 runs scored and a .415 on-base percentage. NL Best Mound Performer Named Sunday, October 22nd, 1950 The New York clubhouse staff referred to him as "the kid" this season. Next year Robin Roberts will have to have a new nickname. He earned it after winning the 1950 National League Walter Johnson Award. Roberts made 37 starts this year, winning 25 and losing 10. He threw 304.2 innings, fanned 133, allowed 280 hits and 58 walks, while holding opposing teams to a .245 average as he logged an impressive 2.84 ERA. Walt Masterson Nabs Prestigious Walter Johnson Award Sunday, October 22nd, 1950 The Walter Johnson Award for 1950 has been presented and the American League winner is Walt Masterson of Cleveland. "It's always nice to receive an award like this," said Masterson. "I just hope I can improve on my performance next year and be in the running again," the Indians star told reporters. Masterson excelled with an impressive 20-7 record in 31 starts. In 247 innings he yielded 214 hits and 132 walks, while striking out 95 and compiling a fine 2.81 ERA. Best Batter Named by National League Monday, October 23rd, 1950 Bobby Thomson put together a fine season at the plate for Boston, capturing one of baseball's most coveted offensive honors, the National League Ty Cobb Award. He posted a .315 batting average and a .373 on-base percentage this year while reeling off 185 hits, 21 doubles, 6 triples, 40 home runs and 130 RBIs. AL Top Hitter, 1950 Choice Is Snider Monday, October 23rd, 1950 Duke Snider, Cleveland's outstanding center fielder, took home the American League Ty Cobb Award for 1950. This season he put up some strong stats, including a .319 batting average and a .397 on-base percentage. In 150 games he piled up 191 hits, 33 doubles, 8 triples, 35 home runs, 127 RBIs and scored 119 times. St Louis Browns Off Season Moves It's Official: SP Sain Signs with Browns Saturday, November 18th, 1950 St. Louis fans could barely contain their jubilation as Johnny Sain, considered one of the best at his position, opted to sign with the club. The deal, estimated at $325,000 over 5 years, is seen as a masterstroke for the General Manager's office and could well go down as one of the shrewdest moves in club history. Since his debut in the league, Sain has posted 106 victories and 78 defeats with an ERA of 3.47. __________________ This just feels more like waiting in line at the Department of Motor Vehicles.

scott1964 Hall Of Famer Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: Denver Posts: 5,626	NABL News: Draft Pool Revealed Wednesday, September 12th, 1951 One of the few things certain about the 1951 first-year player draft is that it will be held 30 days from now. Today the NABL announced its list of players filing for the event, though little is publicly known about any given player, sending scouts from each of the league's clubs scattering to uncover what they can in as little time as possible. Some clubs will draft the ideal prospect late, while others will stake their futures to big-name prospects, those deemed most likely to succeed by the fickle, nameless consensus. The top players available (in no particular order) seem to be: 1. Harvey Kuenn, 20 year-old shortstop out of college. 2. Toby Atwell, 27 year-old catcher out of college. 3. Andy Carey, 19 year-old third baseman out of high-school. 4. Jim Rivera, 29 year-old center fielder out of college. 5. Harvey Haddix, 25 year-old starting pitcher out of college. 6. Stu Miller, 23 year-old starting pitcher out of college. 7. Mickey Mantle, 19 year-old center fielder out of college. 8. Sandy Amoros, 21 year-old right fielder out of college. 9. Billy Hoeft, 19 year-old starting pitcher out of high-school. 10. Vinegar Bend Mizell, 21 year-old starting pitcher out of college. NABL News: Playoffs begin Monday, October 1st, 1951 What began months ago as a dream is now reality. The trade deadline has passed, along with all the GMs' wheeling and dealing. Contract negotiations are on hold until another time. Front office work is all but on the back burner. Now it's time for each club, player, coach and manager to put a unique imprint on North American BaseBall League history. Nobody will remember the free agent who got away last winter. No one will care about the trade that fell through right before the deadline. People will remember just one thing about the playoffs -- the team that wins the North American Series crown. That's the reason they play the game. The North American Series starts today with these match-ups: Philadelphia Phillies versus Philadelphia Athletics. __________________ This just feels more like waiting in line at the Department of Motor Vehicles.
