“DIARY OF A WINNER”


 

AMOS STRUNK

THE LAST ONE FOR 86 YEARS
Ex-Athletics rout their former team

April 27, 1918 ... There is nothing that a ballplayer likes as much, as coming back to help whip the team that traded him.  It was those former A's were, once again, largely responsible for defeating their old teammates at Shibe Park, by a 4 to 1 score, and making it a three in a row for the Red Sox. 

Stuffy McInnis batted in two of the four runs, while the other two were the responsibility of Amos Strunk and Wally Schang.  But it was Joe Bush who kept his former team at bay by pitching a good ball game and picking up his third win.
