The Kentucky tobacco farmer, Woodie Fryman got the best of the Reds that day in a titanic struggle at Shibe Park.
Bob Lee did some "pristine" pitching on that day for the Reds and there was also a noteworthy performance by the incomparable Ted Davidson.
Go woodie.
Am I a five tooler?
By then Shibe was Connie Mack Stadium and somewhere Benjamin Shibe shed a tear as the end came near.Originally Posted by RANDY IN CHAR NC
Where have you gone, Johnny Briggs?
Ted Abernathy pitched the last inning for the Reds.
Wasn't Abernathy's nickname "the Worm"? I can't find a reference on teh intranets.
She used to wake me up with coffee ever morning
Ted's nickname was "Abbie" or so stated in the 1968 TSN Baseball Register.
abby was tremendous a great trade none like him
A different look, for sure, and effective.
until Wayne Granger stepped into the corralabby was tremendous a great trade none like him
Granger could stand sideways on the mound and no one could see him. Minnesota must have had a thing for guys like that and apparently, so did the Reds as they also acquired "The Blade," Tom Hall, from the Twinkies for Granger. It was said that Granger could take a shower in a shotgun barrel.

Only 4 pitchers have lead the Reds in Win Shares in a season since Ewell Blackwell was a Red.'
Soto a couple of times, Rijo , Jeff Shaw in 1997 and Ted Abernathy in 1967
Did Dom Zanni or Jim Duffalo lead the league in win shares? I've got to know!
Their success was, in part, to the stellar catching and signal calling of Jimmy Coker.
