Monday 4/25/1970: Baltimore's Harimoto wins Player of the Week award
Isao Harimoto wins his 5th Player of the Week award. American League pitchers couldn't figure out how to retire this guy all week long. He had an on base percentage of .591 and hit .471, while driving in 6 runs. The Player of the Week award in the National League goes to San Francisco's Bill D. White this time, as the leftfielder displayed the best offensive perfomance in his league. He hit .522 with 11 RBI and slugged .957 in 23 at bats. He has hit 2 longballs while batting .365 this season. His 27 hits and 6 walks add up to a .420 on-base percentage. He's 2nd in the National League in batting and 7th in RBI!
Thursday 4/21/1970: Atlanta's Monbouquette out for 6 weeks
ATLANTA - Atlanta is without its right-hander Bill Monbouquette for at least 6 weeks. He injured himself while throwing a pitch to Bob Aspromonte in a game against Philadelphia. His face showed signs of pain immediately after the ball left his hand. Doctors examined him after the game and diagnosed a Bone Chips Elbow which will require surgery. His ERA of 2.70 helped him to a 2-1 record this year. He struck out 23 and walked 8 in 33.1 innings. He has 2 complete games and one shutout.
Thursday 4/21/1970: Charley Smith punishes Milwaukee with three dingers
MILWAUKEE - Hitting homeruns is one of the most difficult things in sports. To hit three of them in one game is almost sensational. Baltimore's second baseman Charley Smith accomplished that feat in a 11-6 win over Milwaukee. A pitch from Dennis Bennett in the 1st inning left his bat for a three-run homerun, landing 447 feet from home plate in center field. A 393 foot drive to left field marked his 2nd bomb, a solo homerun off Dennis Bennett in the 4th inning. His 3rd blast, a solo homerun off Al Neiger in the 6th inning, landed an estimated 379 feet from home plate. Overall he finished with 3 hits in 5 AB, scoring three runs and driving in 5 runs. Baltimore improved its record to 8-11, scoring 11 runs on 12 hits.
Wednesday 4/20/1970: Jim Bibby shuts out Montreal on one hit
MONTREAL - Philadelphia's right-hander Jim Bibby will never forget this day. The 25-year old recorded his first career shutout, a 1-hitter, against Montreal on Wednesday. Bibby (2-2) struck out 5 and walked 2, throwing 61 of 105 pitches for strikes. 'Well, the ball went where I wanted it. I was able to hit the corners with all of my pitches.' Bobby Floyd helped Bibby at the plate, he finished with 4 hits in 5 AB, hitting a double. The final score of the game was 5-0.
Wednesday 4/20/1970: Milwaukee's Priddy out for full season
MILWAUKEE - Milwaukee's right-hander Bob Priddy experienced probably the worst case scenario for a pitcher, a season ending injury. After pitching in the 5th inning of the game against Chicago (A), Priddy complained about serious pain in his throwing arm. He had to leave the game. After x-rays were taken the diagnosis did not surprise many: Torn Rotator Cuff Muscle. Surgery will be performed next week. Bob has a record of 0-3 this season, with an ERA of 4.33. In 27 Innings he was able to strike out 19 batters.
Tuesday 4/19/1970: Chicago (N)'s Jenkins severely injured
CHICAGO (N) - Chicago (N)'s pitcher Fergie Jenkins was part of a scary incident that saw the right-hander being hit by a line drive in the 1st inning of the game between Chicago (N) and San Francisco. Team trainers immediately rushed onto the field after the frightening scene. Jenkins will miss about 4 weeks. After being taken to a local hospital, Jenkins was examined by specialists. The diagnosis revealed the sad truth, a Broken Finger. In 4 starts this year Fergie struck out 34 batters in 26 innings of work. His ERA is 2.42, his record 1-1. He's 7th in the National League in wins!
