Five Cool Things About December 1 in Baseball history
When was the DH first discussed?
1911 - Hall of Fame Manager Walter Alston was Born. Alston put himself through College playing pool, and despite just 1 at bat, would eventually come to manage the Dodgers from 1954 to 1976.
1928 - The DH narrowly gets voted down by the AL
1948 - George Foster is born and becomes a key cog in the big Red Machine blasting 52 homeruns in 1977.
1956 - Frank Robinson who tied the NK Rookie HR record with 38, wins the NL ROY. Luis Aparicio wins the AL Award. They will be teammates in Cooperstown some 20 odd years later.
1965 - The KC A's get Joe Rudi back from Cleveland. It will be a key trade as he becomes a gold glove outfielder and contributor to the three title teams
