ESPN.com - MLB - Recap The 12-game winning streak against the NL is the second-longest in the eight-year history of interleague play, one behind a 13-game run the New York Yankees began last season and finished this month. A day after setting team records for runs, hits and total bases in a 19-13 victory over Toronto, the Devil Rays struggled to generate any offense against Burnett, who missed most of last season after undergoing Tommy John surgery on his right elbow in April 2003. The Devil Rays also are a major league-best 12-1 in interleague play, a startling turnaround from 2003 when they went 3-15 against NL opponents for the most losses by one team in one season. sports.espn.go.com /mlb/recap?gameId=240625130   (977 words)

This figure is even better than it looks: the attendance increase was achieved despite 236 fewer playing dates than in the 2002 season, thanks to bad weather in the eastern U.S. The Pacific Coast League, Texas League, Midwest League, South Atlantic League and Pioneer League all set all-time attendance records. other independent leagues are added, it's clear that minor league baseball has never been more popular, even though in Organized Baseball, the minors are operated as player development programs in which winning is secondary. www.roadsidephotos.com /baseball/bbb030901.htm   (6026 words)

Articles - New York Yankees However, by decree of Commissioner Ford Frick, separate single-season home run records were maintained to reflect the fact that Ruth hit his 60 home runs during a 154-game season, while Maris hit his 61 in the first year of the new 162-game season. During the 1960-61 offseason, a seemingly innocuous development may have marked the beginning of the end for this Yankees dynasty. Some 30 years later, on September 4, 1991, an 8-member Committee for Historical Accuracy appointed by Major League Baseball did away with the dual records, giving Maris sole possession of the single-season home run record until it was broken by Mark McGwire on September 8, 1998. www.zdiamond.net /articles/New_York_Yankees   (6900 words)

1921 World Series by Baseball Almanac Babe Ruth was in New York and busy breaking his own records for the second consecutive season.

On October 1, 1961, on the final day of the season, Maris broke the record when he sent a pitch from Boston´s Tracy Stallard into the right field stands at Yankee Stadium for his 61st home run. The duo´s home run prowess led the media and fans to christen them ´The M & M Boys.´ Ultimately, Mantle was forced to bow out in mid-September with 54 home runs when a severe hip infection forced him from the lineup. www.zdiamond.net /articles/New_York_Yankees   (6900 words)

New York Daily News - Sports - Bob Raissman: Kay what? How embarrassing As he wrapped things up, Michael Kay said the Yankees had had a "great season," but acknowledged it hadn't ended the way they would have liked it to. For Kay to say the Yankees have nothing to "hang their heads about" when "you look at the season as a whole" contradicts every statement he has ever made about the "Yankee way." He pointed out that the Bombers had won 101 games while also setting "attendance records" at the Stadium. www.nydailynews.com /sports/story/244874p-209811c.html   (814 words)

Asterisk - Open Encyclopedia This usage arose after the 1961 baseball season in which Roger Maris of the New York Yankees broke Babe Ruth's 34-year-old single-season home run record. Because Ruth had amassed 60 home runs in a season with only 154 games, compared to Maris' 61 over 162 games, baseball commissioner Ford Frick announced that Maris' accomplishment would be recorded in the record books with an explanation (often referred to as "an asterisk" in the retelling). In fact, Major League Baseball has no official record book, but the stigma remained with Maris for many years, and the concept of a real or figurative asterisk denoting less-than-official records has become widely used in sports and other competitive endeavors. www.openencyclopedia.net /index.php/Asterisk   (1232 words)

Toronto Blue Jays - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The pitching was strong, again led by Clemens (20-6, 2.65 ERA, 271 strikeouts), but the hitting was mediocre, and the Blue Jays finished 88-74, in third place, 26 games behind the New York Yankees, who posted one of the greatest records in baseball history. On October 2, 2004, the Toronto Blue Jays announced the dismissals of pitching coach Gil Patterson and first-base coach Joe Breeden, effective at the end of the season. Oddly, Morris was acquired in large part for his reputation as a clutch postseason pitcher, but he went 0-3 in the playoffs. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Toronto_Blue_Jays   (3890 words)

Amazon.com: DVD: 61* (2001) In 1961 baseball expanded its season from 154 games to 162, allowing weaker pitching into the major leagues and two New York Yankees teammates--the colorless Roger Maris and golden boy Mickey Mantle--to make an assault on the sport's ultimate record: Babe Ruth's 60 home runs. 61* is an endearing ode to the baseball days of yore when the press was the enemy, salaries were in check, and breaking records with bat and glove took on Ruthian proportions. This is Billy Crystal's love letter to the 1961 Yankees, and to his credit it doesn't blink or flinch in its treatment of that greatest of childhood heroes, Mickey Mantle. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005M20J   (3890 words)

Bonds tells grand jury he used lab's products but didn't knowingly take steroids Those admitting drug use were New York Yankees first baseman Jason Giambi and his brother Jeremy, both former Oakland A's players, and Armando Rios, Benito Santiago and Bobby Estalella, former Giants. Bonds testified that he received and used cream and clear substances from his personal strength trainer, Greg Anderson, during the 2003 baseball season, but was told they were the nutritional supplement flaxseed oil and a rubbing balm for arthritis, according to a transcript of his testimony reviewed by the San Francisco Chronicle. Yankee outfielder Gary Sheffield testified that while he trained with Bonds in the Bay Area before the 2002 baseball season, Bonds arranged for him to receive "the cream," "the clear" and "red beans," which the prosecutors identified as steroid pills manufactured in Mexico. seattlepi.nwsource.com /baseball/202118_bonds03.html   (3890 words)

Amazon.ca: DVD: 61* (Widescreen) In 1961 baseball expanded its season from 154 games to 162, allowing weaker pitching into the major leagues and two New York Yankees teammates--the colorless Roger Maris and golden boy Mickey Mantle--to make an assault on the sport's ultimate record: Babe Ruth's 60 home runs. To add to the stew, baseball commissioner Ford Frick announced any record set in the last eight games of the season wouldn't count toward the official record; records had to be achieved in 154 games. One of the most touching aspects of the film is the open and close, where Crystal intercuts actual footage of Mark McGuire tying and breaking the Maris record with actors and actresses portraying Maris's widow Pat and their kids looking on. www.amazon.ca /exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005M20J   (3877 words)
