Excerpt from Reggie Jackson's book recounting games in Chicago and Oakland. It notes Charlie's influence, Bando's home run and RBIs, Herb Washington's base running, and a split doubleheader in Minnesota with Dark’s lineup changes.
Cleveland split a twin bill as Jim Bibby impressed in his first start since July while Fritz Peterson earned his 10th win with a shutout in the nightcap. Chicago’s Claude Osteen matched strength, with Lowenstein and Ashby providing key early offense. The Tribe, 14-13 in August, hosts Minnesota next for a weekend series.
Cleveland starter Peterson earned his 10th win, using six pitches in a 10th victory after coming off the disabled list. Bibby lamented bad luck despite strong work, while Robinson praised Peterson and noted LaRoche may remain unused in relief. Orta and Melton delivered key hits as the staff consolidated four complete games in five outings.
Cleveland scene centers on pitcher Eric Raich who won the Big League Bubble Blowing Contest with an 182 inch bubble. The rookie, demoted to Oklahoma City, plans a quick return to the Indians as minor league season ends. Raich notes the chaos around the clubhouse as gum flies and reporters swarm.
Rick Manning robs Carlos May of a sure double with a spectacular centerfield flop for the Indians in game one. Chicago writers hail it as the year’s best. The play contrasts Manning’s hustle with George Hendrick. Cleveland’s uniformed record shows 30 20 in blue white, 10 10 red shirts, 2 2 all white, 17 35 red shirts with white pants.
Bay Village football coach Don Chadwick seeks to keep the Rockets in the SWC title hunt. After an 8-2 season with a 5-2 league mark, he must replace 15 starters including All-League tailback Mike Newman. Returning seniors and a quick backfield shape the lineup as Bay opens September 5 against Midpark.
