Murry Dickson

- Pitcher

Murry Monroe Dickson (August 21, 1916 - September 21, 1989) built an excellent pitching career in the Major Leagues over 18 years, and during that time endured a litany of events that could have potentially ended his career (and life), but certainly made for a number of great stories.

he was drafted into the United States Army. While serving in Europe, General George S. Patton sought to have Dickson serve as his personal driver, but Murry pleaded with his commanding officer to help him out of that assignment due for fear that the “crazy” general might get him killed. Dickson returned from World War II in time to once again pitch for St. Louis, going 15-6 as they marched to the NL pennant for the third time in his career.

World Series champion in '46 and '58.
Murry pitched nine years with the St. Louis Cardinals (1939-1940, 1942-1943, 1946-1948, 1956-1957) before being sold to the Pittsburgh Pirates for cash. Murry Dickson’s career endured for 18 years and he went 172-181 with 1,281 strikeouts, 149 complete games, 27 shutouts, 23 saves and a 3.66 ERA. Throughout his playing career, Murry worked as a carpenter during each offseason, and upon his retirement returned to carpentry.

Hank Greenberg

1b

“Hank” Greenberg (January 1, 1911 - September 4, 1986) was one of the most feared right-handed hitters in the history of Major League Baseball, knocking out 331 career home runs in a mere 1,394 career games, an average of one home run for every 15.7 at-bats. Hammerin’ Hank posted extraordinary numbers despite losing four years to military service during World War II. Greenberg grew up in New York City where he graduated from James Monroe High School.

Following his playing days, he was hired as the director of the Cleveland Indians farm system and shortly thereafter became the club’s general manager. In 1959, he partnered with Bill Veeck to purchase the Chicago White Sox, where he again served as general manager and helped guide them their first American League pennant since 1919. He left the White Sox in 1961. Hank Greenberg was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1956.

P Bobo Newsom

Born in Hartsville, South Carolina, Newsom was known to possess a somewhat eccentric and emotional personality, typically referring to everyone in the third person, including referring to himself as "Bobo"^]

Newsom pitched valiantly in a losing cause in Game Seven of the 1940 World Series with the Detroit Tigers, two days after pitching a shutout in honor of his father, who had died while visiting from South Carolina and watching his son win the opener. Bobo had said before pitching Game Five, "I'll win this one for my daddy." When manager Del Baker named Newsom to take the mound for Game Seven, Bobo was asked by reporters, "will you win this one for your daddy too?" "Why, no", Newsom said, "I think I'll win this one for old Bobo."^[2][3]

phil marchildon, p

what can be said about phil marchildon that hasn’t already been said?
everything and nothing.
phil was from canada. So that explains a lot.
he was the first player inducted into the canadian baseball hall of fame. It was quite a distinction. But then one day ferguson jenkins showed up and he wasn’t so lonely anymore.
phil served in the royal canadian air force in ww2 and was captured and became a pow at stalag luft 3, the camp from which “the great escape” took place. Phil wasn’t in the movie , which is a good thing because most of the guys in the movie died.
