1960 BOSTON RED SOX
...
The Red Sox
made a few changes before the 1960 season. In the
off-season they acquired Al Worthington from the Giants;
got pitcher Tom Sturdivant from the Athletics for Pete
Daley; firstbaseman Ron Jackson from the White Sox for
pitcher Frank Baumann; traded Dick Gernert to the Cubs for
pitcher Dave Hillman and Jim Marshall, and traded pitcher
Al Schroll to the Cubs for the legendary Bobby Thomson.
Ted
Williams could still hit, posting averages of .345,
.356, .345, .388 and .328 for five straight years prior to
the 1959 season. When he returned to Boston for the
Sportsman's dinner in January, he stopped at Fenway.
Ted
wanted to redeem himself for his poor performance the
season before and volunteered to take a pay cut. He signed
his 1960 contract for $90K, with $60 in deferred payments.
His desire was to play and reach 500 homers (he had 492).
Williams
reported to spring training in Scottsdale on March 1st.
His neck was still bothersome and he started to fear that
he may not be able to make it through the whole year.
After some discussion with Billy Jurges,
Ted
agreed to tutor the young hitters as a batting instructor
also. One of the prospects was
Carl
Yastrzemski. The young
Yaz
found
Ted
difficult to follow because
Williams
was talking physics and bat speed.
Yaz
didn't get it, but he kept his mouth shut.
Whatever
magic Billy Jurges had when he took over for Mike Higgins,
as the Red Sox manager the year before, quickly
disappeared.
Frank
Sullivan and
Tom Brewer,
the anchors of the staff, were on their way out and
Bill
Monbouquette was the rising pitching star, while
Mike
Fornieles was the mainstay of the bullpen.
The Sox
opened the season in Washington on April 18th. With both
Richard Nixon and President Eisenhower in attendance,
Ted
worked the count to 3-2 of Camilo Pascual in his first at
bat. He crushed the next pitch into right center field,
rising over the 32 ft high fence and landing 450 ft away.
It tied him for fourth on the all-time home run list with
Lou Gehrig. Only two other Sox batters could manage
scratch singles off Pascual, who broke the Washington team
strikeout record, fanning 15 batters. The Sox lost 10-1.
The next day,
in the Fenway home opener against the Yankees.
Ted
belted another homer into the right field grandstand, but
pulled a hamstring rounding the bases and went on the DL
for a month. The game was lost when Roger Maris slugged
two homers, a double and a single to beat the Sox, 8 to 4.
Back in
Washington on April 22nd,
Frank
Malzone hit a home run and Vic Wertz drilled an 11th
inning homer to carry the Sox to a 5-4 win. The next day
Malzone
hit another home run and the Sox won again, 8 to 3.
While
Ted
rode the bench there was a lot of front office intrigue.
With the Sox floundering once again, a newspaper story
emerged about dissension in the clubhouse, so Billy Jurges
called a team meeting in New York on April 26th.
Williams
loudly backed his manger but the dark cloud remained.
On May 7th,
Monbouquette pitched his best game in the majors thus
far, a one-hitter, against the Tigers.
The Sox
traded Nelson Chittum to the Dodgers for outfielder Rip
Repulski and his eighth inning grandslam homer against the
White Sox, on May
10th, gave the Sox a 9 to 7 victory. Vic Wertz also
hit a grandslam earlier in the game.
Two days
later on May 12th,
Pete
Runnels (.426 BA) lofted a wall-ball double in the
bottom of the ninth inning with the bases loaded. It gave
Tom Brewer,
who had allowed just two-scattered hits, a 1 to 0 victory.
It was
Runnels'
14th hit in his last 25 at bats.
After winning
5 of the 6 games played to start the month of May and
finding themselves only 1/2 game out of first place, the
Red Sox proceeded to lose ten straight games. One of the
main reasons the Sox were losing was their lack of
hitting. During the losing streak, hitters average only
six hits per game and only 2 1/2 runs. They spiraled to 8
1/2 games behind the league leaders.
CARL
On May 22nd,
Ted
Williams saw his first action in a month. He got two
hits to boost his batting average from .154 to .250. The
league batting leader,
Pete
Runnels, went 1 for 3 and ended the game with a .356
batting average.
The Sox
stopped off in Minneapolis to play an exhibition game with
their AAA farm club, the Millers on May 23rd. The Sox lost
1-0, managing only two hits, both by Bobby Thomson. The
Millers top player,
Carl
Yastrzemski (.320 BA, 4 HRs), had one hit in four
trips. Their other top prospect, Chuck Schilling (.360 BA)
went 1-for-3.
The sniping
kept going in the papers and finally on May 26th, Jurges
called another meeting and called in the reporters.
Williams
was still protective of his manager and glared at the
members of the press. Jurges demanded to know who was
bad-mouthing him and demanded that the reporters tell him
who it was. He then got lectured by a reporter, reminding
him that they were not a part of the Boston Red Sox
organization and owed him nothing.
The Sox
traded Ron Jackson to the Milwaukee Braves for Ray Boone.
Then they traded Gene Stephens to Baltimore for a young
black ballplayer named Willie Tasby.
Ted
Williams slowly boiled, as rumors swirled about him
replacing Jurges as the Sox manager. Finally on June 8th
with a 15-27 record, and the Red Sox in last place, 12 1/2
games out, depressed and exhausted from the strain of the
job, Bill Jurges left the team for a rest of undetermined
length. Coach Del Baker was named the interim manager.
Two days
later, on June 10th, the Red Sox made it official. In a
statement, Sox team officials announced that Billy Jurges
was done and Mike Higgins was given his job back. Higgins'
second go-round was different. This time he largely
controlled the talent and seemed uninterested in making
any changes and seemed to have a good relationship with
all his players and the media. He also still was a close
friendship with his drinking buddy, Tom Yawkey.
Higgins'
feelings abut having black ballplayers on the club changed
also. Pumpsie Green was already an established utility
player with the team and Higgins continued to use him in
that role. The newly acquired, Willie Tasby became the
team's starting centerfielder, and he brought back
Earl Wilson
from Minneapolis in July.
On the field,
having lost 11 of 12 games in June and now 13 games out,
the Sox finally stopped a seven-game losing streak. They
beat the Chicago White Sox, 5 to 4, in the first game of a
doubleheader on June 11th. Two homers by
Williams
and Wertz, along with a superb pitching performance by
Monbouquette, gave the Red Sox a 5 to 4 victory. TED HOMERS
On June 17th
Ted
belted his 500th homer in Cleveland. It was his a rare
"inside-the-park" home run. With Willie Tasby on first,
Ted slammed the ball off Wynn Hawkins toward the
six-foot screen at the 365 ft mark, in left-center field.
Tito Francona ran back to the fence and got ready to leap,
but the ball sailed five feet over his head and the Sox
won, 3-1. In an interview later,
Ted
told reporters that he had had it and this would be his
final year.
Ted
proceeded to go on a tear over the next few weeks, hitting
for both average and power. His 501st homer came two days
later and in Kansas City on June 21st, he went 3-for-4 and
knocked out two homers.
Ted hit
11 homers in the month of June, the most since he had hit
13 in June, 1950.
But the Sox
went 10-15 on their road trip, having lost seven of the
games by one run. They were in the cellar, 17 games behind
when they returned home at the end of the month.
On July 3rd
the Sox unloaded on the Athletics at Fenway Park by a 13-2
score. After getting a hit in the first inning, in the
fifth inning, he homered into the right field grandstand.
It was his 14th of the season and 506th of his career.
On July 7th,
the Sox broke out of a four game losing streak, beating
the Senators, 4-2, in the second game of a doubleheader.
In the first game,
Ted
went 3-for-4. His average was the highest of the season at
.347, having knocked out 21 hits in his last 53 at bats.
Of his 14 homers, 12 of them came in his last 80 at-bats.
It was the best power streak of his career. VIC WERTZ
The Sox went
on to win their next seven games.
Monbouquette shut out the Yankees, 8 to 0 on July 8th.
It was only the third time the Yankees had been shut
out all season and it was the first time a right-handed
pitcher had beaten them in over a month.
The next day,
the Sox beat the Yankees again, 6 to 5. Vic Wertz was the
batting star, knocking in four of the six runs on three
hits, with a home run.
In the series
finale on July 10th, Willie Tasby went 5-for-5 with a
homer, double and three singles and Wertz hit a grandslam
homer. The Sox swept New York three games straight, by
winning 9 to 4 and moved out of the American League
cellar. ALL STARS MUSIAL AND WILLIAMS
Ted,
Bill
Monbouquette,
Frank
Malzone and
Pete Runnels were chosen for the American League All
Star team.
The first
game was played in Kansas City on July 11th, and
Monbouquette was the starting pitcher for the American
League. The NL Stars beat-up
Monbo.
In the first inning, Ernie Banks hit a two run homer as
the NL picked up three runs on three hits and Del Crandall
homered off him in the second inning.
Ted,
playing in his 17th All Star Game, pinch hit for
Monbouquette in the second inning and grounded out.
Neither
Malzone
(0 for 3) nor
Runnels
(0 for 1) got a hit.
Two days
later, another All Star Game was played at Yankee Stadium.
The National Leaguers shut out the American Leaguers, 6 to
0, on home runs by Eddie Mathews, Willie Mays, Stan Musial
and Ken Boyer. Neither
Malzone
nor
Runnels
got a hit and
Ted had
a pinch-hit single. WILLIE TASBY
Monbouquette redeemed himself when the Sox resumed
play in Kansas City on July 15th.
Monbo
held the A's to seven hits and struck out nine batters,
winning 2 to 1.
Frank
Malzone's double off the left field screen in the
first inning, drove in
Ted
with the deciding run.
The Sox again
won when Ike
Delock shut-out the A's, 1-0 in the next game. Tasby's
double off the screen scored Don Buddin with the only run
in the eighth inning.
The sweep of
the A's finished the seven-game winning streak on July
17th. Tom
Brewer, hampered by a sore shoulder all season, won
his sixth game and blasted a homer in the third inning.
Tasby's hot bat continued to produce, with a triple and a
double. He scored two runs including the game winner for
the Sox, 4-2. BILL MONBOUQUETTE
The Sox came
back down to earth and lost three straight in Chicago.
Good pitching had carried them during the streak, but it
was their lack of consistent hitting that hampered them.
In the last game of the series, they had 13 hits, got 15
men on base, and scored just one run. When Mike Higgins
got his job back,
Pete
Runnels was batting .385 and leading the league. His
average had now dipped to .318 in one month, going
1-for-15.
Back home the
Sox beat the Indians, 6-4, on July 22nd.
Ted and
Vic Wertz each knocked out home runs. In a loss the next
day, the star again was Tasby, homered and robbed Jim
Perry of a home run, with a leaping catch over the Sox
bullpen wall.
On July 24th,
Monbouquette won his tenth game against the Indians.
In his next start he shutout the Tigers, 1-0, allowing
only three runners to reach second base, striking out six
and walking only one. The Sox only run came when
Ted's
single in the third inning scored Don Buddin.
The Sox ended
July by splitting a doubleheader with the Tigers. Wertz
crashed two homers and knocked in six runs and
Ted
clubbed his 18th home run. Wertz was the major run
producer for the Sox this season. Of his last 72 hits, he
had knocked in 60 runs.
On
August 4th, the
Sox recalled
Earl Wilson and a rookie catcher named Jim Pagliaroni.
Wilson pitched a six-hitter for a 9-1 win in the second
game of a doubleheader against Kansas City at Fenway.
Monbouquette earned his 12th win in the opener, 5 to
3. Vic Wertz knocked in three runs in each game. His
three-run homer won the game for Mombo.
The Sox
headed to Detroit and on August 5th on won 4-2.
Mike
Fornieles
retired the last nine batters he faced, for 20 consecutive
batters in his last three appearances.
On August
10th, in Cleveland,
Ted hit
his 512th career homer and later in the same game, hit his
513th, surpassing Mel Ott for third place all-time.
On August
20th, Ted
Williams collected his 2000th base on balls, later
finishing with his career with 2021, thirty five less than
that of Babe Ruth (2056 BB).
Vic Wertz was
one the batting shining stars for the Sox this season. On
August 25th, when the Sox beat the Indians, 10 to 7, a
grandslam pinch-hit homer by Wertz was the actual
game-winner. It was his ninth slam lifetime and third of
the season, leaving him one shy of the seasonal record.
Wertz had knocked in 88 runs in 97 of his hits, knocking
in a run every 3.81 AB. He was second in the American
League RBI chase.
August 28th
was a great day for
Mike
Fornieles (2.52 ERA). In the second game of a
doubleheader with Kansas City, at Fenway Park, he entered
the game in the eighth inning with the score tied, 4-4. He
shut the A's down for two innings and in the last of the
eighth, singled home the winning run for a 5-4 victory.
The Sox
walked away with a doubleheader sweep of the Tigers on
August 30th. Both games went to extra innings . In the
first game, which the Sox won in 15 innings,
Pete
Runnels doubled home
Frank
Malzone with the walk-off game winner, 2-1. In the
second game, the Sox scored the winning run in the 10th
inning on a ground ball, that Tiger shortstop, Chico
Fernandez, threw into the Sox dugout, letting the
baserunner score from third, for a 5-4 win.
Runnels
had a fantastic day, also going 9-for-11 and tying Al
Smith for the AL batting lead with a .324 BA.
On September
4th, Vic Wertz clubbed his 18th home run, giving him 93
RBIs on 105 hits. At Fenway Park, Wertz had 69 RBIs on
only 66 hits. He trailed Roger Maris (96 RBIs) by three
RBIs for the A.L. lead.
At Yankee
Stadium on September 6th, Pumpsie Green led off the game
by slashing what looked like a routine base hit to left,
that scooted by Hector Lopez. It caromed around the short
left field fence, rolling into left-center field, for an
inside-the-park home run.
Ted
Williams also poked a homer, the 518th of his career
and 26th for the season, into the short right field
stands.
On September
7th, in Detroit,
Ted
enjoyed another productive night with two hits. He doubled
home two runs for the Sox, in a rally that gave them a 5-4
win. Then, in the next game, he doubled to right in his
first at-bat, missing a homer by two feet and then homered
deep into the second deck of Tiger Stadium, his next time
up. He also walked and hit a line-drive single to right.
His 3-for-4 gave the Sox a 6-1 win against Jim Bunning.
Against the
Senators, on September 17th,
Ted
beat them with one swing of his bat. There was a man on
base at Griffith Stadium, in the sixth inning, when
Ted
blasted his 520th homer over the right field wall, giving
the Sox a 2-1 win.
In the next
game, Willie Tasby hit a homer to tie the score. Then a
couple of innings later, Lou Clinton lined a single that
scored two runners. It gave
Monbouquette his 14th win, a 3-1 decision over the
Senators.
Runnels
went 2-for-4, lifting his league leading batting average,
to .321
The Sox
returned to Fenway to face the league leaders, the New
York Yankees. In the first game on September 23rd,
Ted
Williams lined a pitch off the wall for a double that
game the Sox a 1-0 lead. But the Sox lost 5 to 1.
Runnels
got one hit.
The second
game took extra innings and the Sox lost 6-5 on a home run
by Mickey Mantle in the 10th.
Ted
went 2-for-3, with a pair of singles.
The Yankees
clinched the pennant after winning the final game of the
series, 4 to 3 on September 25th.
Ted
knocked out two singles in his first two plate
appearances.
As the season
drew to a close, everybody was speculating on what
Ted's
numbers would have been had he not taken five years off
for military service.
The
Sporting News crowned him as baseball's "Player of the
Decade", an obvious lifetime achievement award, because
players like Mickey Mantle, Hank Aaron, Willie Mays and
Stan Musial also were playing. He finished the year with a
.316 BA, 29 HRs and 72 RBIs.
But the story
of the 1960 Boston Red Sox came down to the final at bat
of
Ted
Williams. After a stirring pre-game ceremony on
September 28th, in his final at bat in the eighth
inning,
Ted
caught hold of a Jack Fisher fastball and sent it into the
Sox bullpen. He crossed the plate and ran directly into
the dugout with his head down and didn't acknowledge the
fans. They screamed for him to come out and take a bow,
but he didn't move.
Then when the inning ended,
Mike Higgins
made him go out and take his position in left field. As he
got there, Carroll Hardy was running right behind him,
trotting out to take his place.
Ted
turned around, saw Hardy, came back and crossed the
infield for the final time and then disappeared down the
runway to the Sox clubhouse.
PETE RUNNELS WITH TED
The Sox,
without Ted,
went to New York and lost the final three games of the
season. But there was something to be gained - the
American League Batting title. In the first game of the
series,
Pete Runnels had two hits in three trips to have a
four-point advantage over Cleveland's Al Smith. In the
second game, he had one hit in two official times up and
sat out the last game.
Pete
won the batting title (.320 BA) by five points.
Carl
Yastrzemski ended his Minneapolis Miller's season with
a .340 BA.
Mike
Fornieles had 14 saves and an American League record
70 appearances.
Mike’s
success in 1960 was recognized when The
Sporting News made
him the inaugural winner of its "Fireman
of the Year" Award for the American League.
On the plus
side was Vic Wertz. He had a great season with ten
game-winning hits, 19 HRs and 103 RBIs, the fifth time he
knocked in 100 RBIs in his career. He started 110 games
and went 10-for-18 as a pinch hitter, with three
grandslams.
The 1960 Red
Sox (65-89) had the most defeats since their 1932 team.
They lost seven of their last eight games and finished 32
games behind the Yankees. Their longest winning streak was
just five games,. The longest losing streak was ten games.
Sox pitching (4.62 ERA), non-supported by various
infielders, was their major disappointment.
