Never a big winner, he had electrified baseball that summer by pitching back-to-back no-hitters against the Boston Bees and Brooklyn Dodgers. "An unbreakable record, I think," Vander Meer said. "You'd have to pitch three in a row to top it." With the All-Star Game being played in Cincinnati, he drew the start gave up one hit in three innings. The AL starter for the fifth time in six years was Lefty Gomez, who gave up two hits and one unearned run in three innings. The game is memorable, though, for Leo Durocher's bunted home run. Frank McCormick had opened the seventh with a single off Lefty Grove. Durocher, the next batter, was ordered to sacrifice. He did and third baseman Jimmie Foxx charged in, made the scoop and threw the ball into right field. Joe DiMaggio, in right in deference to Earl Averill, raced in, picked up the ball and fired home. That throw sailed over catcher Bill Dickey's head, allowing McCormick to score. Meanwhile Durocher never stopped running until he reached home. Box Score: Americans AB R H RBI

CONTACT: Chris Hughes Sports Info Dir. Calendar of Events Cal State L.A. Baseball Head Coach John Herbold Selected Recipient of 2004 Lefty Gomez Award 43rd annual award presentation to take place in January 2004 LOS ANGELES Cal State L.A. head baseball coach John Herbold has been selected to receive the 43rd annual Lefty Gomez Award at the American Baseball Coaches Association’s Hall of Fame/Coach of the Year Banquet on Saturday, January 3 , 2004, in San Antonio, Texas, it was announced by the ABCA. Entering his 20th season as the head coach of the Golden Eagle baseball program and 48th overall as a head baseball coach in Southern California, Herbold has been head coach for an amazing 1,025 games at CSULA and a total of 1,684 games in his career as a head coach at either the high school or college level. Two of the many accomplishments during Herbold’s tenure as head coach of the Golden Eagles include becoming the winningest coach in CSULA history by surpassing the legendary Jim Reeder (for whom the Cal State L.A. baseball field is named) on February 10, 2002, and coaching his 1,000th game at the helm of CSULA on March 16, 2002. Since Herbold’s arrival at Cal State L.A., the Golden Eagles have compiled 13 20-win seasons, tying the record set by Reeder in that category, and have sent plenty of CSULA alums to the professional ranks. Cal State L.A. consistently ranks among the top 25 schools in the nation regardless of division in sending players to the pros.

Baseball Hall of Fame The Baseball Hall of Fame was established in 1936, the first ball players selected: Ty Cobb, Walter Johnson, Christy Mathewson, Babe Ruth, and Honus Wagner. Not a bad group.. The first players inducted when the hall opened in Cooperstown, NY, in 1939. They were Grover Cleveland Alexander, Eddie Collins, Lou Gehrig, Willie Keeler, Napoleon Lajoie, Cy Young, George Sisler, and Tris Speaker The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum was officially dedicated on June 12, 1939. The game's four ranking executives of the period—Landis, Frick, Harridge and William G. Bramham, President of the National Association, participated in the ribbon-cutting. Of the 25 players who had been elected to the Hall of Fame up to that point, 11 were still living. Between the original dedication in 1939 and the completion of the National Baseball Library expansion, several significant developments had taken place. New wings were opened on July 24, 1950 and on May 10, 1980; and the Hall of Fame Gallery was dedicated on August 4, 1958. The National Baseball Library opened its doors on July 22, 1968 and the Fetzer-Yawkey Building was dedicated on June 10, 1989. An $8 million Library expansion was completed in 1994, linking the library facility to the Hall of Fame Gallery and incorporating exciting new exhibits on the media and on baseball movies
