Pulling the String

"Baseball...is a leisurely game that demands blinding speed, and the only one in which the defense has the ball. It follows the seasons, beginning each year with the fond expectancy of springtime and ending with the hard facts of autumn." - Baseball: An Illustrated History

About Me

Name:

In To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, young Scout Finch learns how to see from Boo Radley's perspective by standing on his front porch. The Radley Porch is my venue to explore perspectives in literature as well as other areas of my life. So come on up the steps, curl up on my virtual porch swing, and relax!

More Family Heritage

Well, Dan, I couldn't find Ferg Cranston's stats, but I did find a picture and the following quote from a 1948 game report:

(Sun June 27) The travel weary Brandon Greys were no match for the Merchants in Minot. Greys, who had beaten Minot in the Brandon tournament Wednesday, were handed a 15-1 shellacking. Alvin Keck held the Greys to six hits while he helped at the plate with a double and a triple and scored two runs. Ferg Cranston and Ed Claussen each had three hits for the Merchants.


The 1948 Minot Merchants. Ferg is second from left in the front row. I'm probably imagining it, but I think I see a resemblance to grandpa... Posted by Hello

Melodee to Dan:
No, I couldn't find a box score. But I realize I should have included the link to the 1948 game reports that I did find. It's right here.
