PEE WEE REESE
The only team Reese played for in the postseason was the Brooklyn Dodgers. The only postseason games he played were World Series games. The only postseason opponent he ever played against was the New York Yankees. He played in 7 WS, 44, WS G, had 46 WS H and took home 1 ring.
1941 - L
1947 - L
1949 - L
1952 - L
1953 - L
1955 – W
1956 - L
He was the closest to breaking through against Don Larsen. Reese was the 2nd batter of the G on 08-Oct-1956. The count was 3-2 before Reese watched a 3rd K go by. Imagine. If that’s ball four the story changes…

JESSE TANNEHILL Tannehill tossed the first no-hitter by a left hander for Boston, shortly after Cy Young tossed their first ever. Tannehill’ no-hitter. 17-Aug-1904. Young’s: 05-May-1904. The team was more commonly referred to as the Boston Americans, mostly to distinguish them from the NL’s Boston Braves. He was also left hander to win 25 games for Pittsburgh. As a batter, he posted a career .255 batting average (361-for-1414) with 190 R, 55 2B, 23 3B, 5 HR, 142 RBI & 105 BB. .255 .310 .337 .648 89 Pretty good for a pitcher in the deadball days…. www.baseball-reference.com/players/t/tanneje01.shtml |

Lefty Gomez of the Yankees always spoke in awe of Jimmy Foxx. In one game, Foxx came to the plate and the catcher went through all the signs. Gomez shook them all off. So the catcher went through them again and Gomez again shook them off. The catcher went to the mound and said, “What do you want to throw him?”
Gomez: “I don’t want to throw him anything.”
Catcher: “You have to throw something.”
Gomez: “Maybe if we stall long enough he’ll get tired of waiting and leave.”
In another game, Gomez stopped pitching to watch an airplane circling above. Second baseman Tony Lazzeri shouted at him to throw the damn ball.
Gomez shouted back, “You worry about second base and lasagna. I’ll worry about pitching and aviation.”…

Lefty Gomez once told baseball reporters the secret of his successful pitching career was "clean living and a fast outfield."

For the 1903 Highlanders, he would post a 15-15 record with a 3.27 ERA in 32 games. On December 20,1903, Jesse was traded by the Highlanders to the Boston Americans (aka Red Sox) for Starter Tom Hughes. The trade didn’t work out for New York; Jesse would win 20 games or more in the next 2 seasons for Boston, meanwhile Tom Hughes would be sent to the Washington Senators, after posting a 7-11 record in 19 games for the team. Jesse would finish his 15 season MLB Pitching career (1894-1911) with a 197-117 record with a 2.80 ERA in 359 games. |
