Even at $7.50 an hour (if a Cubs fan could earn that much)
an outlay of $30 plus tax would be a big hit on a Cubs
fan's budget. They might have to go a week without their
regular two bottles of T.J. Swan every night.
But if you'd like to be a partner in this, here's the
first inning of the seventh and last game of the '45
World Series.
===
It's Game 7 of the 1945 World Series at the Wrigley
Graveyard. Hank Borowy will be pitching for the Cubs
with Mickey Livingston behind the plate. The Cubs paid
the Bronx Bombers a whopping $97,000 for Borowy in late
August. He was 10-5 for the Yankees and went 11-2 for
the Cubs in 14 starts with 11 complete games. With his
shutout in Game 1 and his win pitching the last 4 innings
of Game 6 two days ago, it looks like the Cubs got what
they paid for.
The Cubs infield from first to third is Phil Caveretta,
Don Johnson, Roy Hughes, and Phil Caveretta. The
outfield is Peanuts Lowrey in left, Andy Pafko in
Center, and Swish Nicholson in Right.
Top of the First:
Skeeter Webb the 35 year old shortstop for the Tigers
hitting .199 steps into the batters box. He lines a
single to Left.
The left-hand hitting Charlie Mayo some to the plate.
He slashes a single to Right. Webb goes into third
standing up.
39 year old Doc Cramer comes up. He hits a single to
left - Webb scores and Mayo stops at second.
It's now 1-0 Tigers.
Here comes Charlie Grimm to the mound signaling to the
bullpen. That's all for Borowy, the Cubs ace.
In comes the 39 year old Paul Derringer who was 16-11
this year to see if he can shut down the Tigers.
Hank Greenberg, the 1940 AL MVP, who just came home
from four years in the Army comes to the plate. He
lays a bunt on the first base line. Mayo goes to
third, Cramer to second, and Greenberg is out at first
by Caveretta unassisted.
Roy Cullenbine gets an intentional walk.
Rudy York pops out to Third and it looks like Oom Paul
is getting the job done.
But wait - he walks Jimmy Outlaw and Charlie Mayo
jogs home from third.
It's now 2-0 Tigers.
Paul Richards, the Tiger Backstop, works the count to
3-2 and slashes a base clearing Double to Left.
It's now 5-0 Tigers.
Prince Hal, the Tiger ace grounds out second to first.
That's the end of the first and all she wrote. The
Tigers got 5 runs on 4 hits and 2 walks with 1 LOB.
The game is history. Tigers win Game 7 by a score of
9-3. It was Paul Derringer final game. And the last
World Series game for the Cubs in the last 63 years.
