Tuesday, November 20th, 1906: Today the North American BaseBall League Baseball Hall of Fame opened its hallowed doors to its newest member, first baseman Cap Anson. One of the most feared hitters ever to grace the batter's box, Anson terrorized pitchers for quite a few seasons, collecting 2413 hits over the course of his career, including 43 home runs, while compiling a .283 batting average.

But while Anson gave opposing pitchers nightmares, he was not without nightmares of his own. His hard-partying youth led to addiction and other personal problems. "I did not like myself, and I tried to use alcohol as a means to run away from my problems," Anson said. "It amazes me now that I was still able to play ball at a high level during that time."

Anson blinked back tears as he continued his speech. "I was lucky to have a such a loving family, both blood-related and baseball. They supported me through my low points and gave me the strength to put my life back together. And look what it got me: a beautiful wife and kids, and now an induction into the Hall of Fame."

Chesbro Twirls No-Hitter Against Pittsburgh
Saturday, June 22nd, 1907: The crowd sensed something special today at Exposition Park. They seemed to get a little louder with passing of each out and each inning. It was obvious on the scoreboard that the pitcher had a no-hitter.

"It was like the playoffs or the North American Series," Jack Chesbro told the press after the game."

It ended up a very special day for Chesbro of the Cincinnati Reds -- he held the Pittsburgh Pirates hitless and beat them 5-0, totaling 3 strikeouts with no walks and faced only 29 batters.

"Today was my day and I got lucky. I've had a couple of other shots that I've lost in the seventh inning and today I got through that and made it."

Lucky? Maybe so. But it usually takes more than luck to hold a team hitless.

To date this year in 16 starts, Chesbro has crafted a 9-7 mark with a 3.33 ERA.

Lumley Goes Cycling
Friday, August 16th, 1907: You might say Harry Lumley wore out his welcome with the Boston Americans. The right fielder gave them fits in today's 14-4 St. Louis victory by hitting for the cycle. "To hit for the cycle" is one of the rarest of feats in a baseball game. This occurs when a player hits a single, double, triple, and home run in the same game, getting every type of hit possible. Lumley ended the day with 4 hits in 5 at-bats, 3 RBI and 4 runs scored.

Talking to reporters in the postgame interview, he said, "After the first three hits, I thought to myself, This could be the game I hit for the cycle. And I got lucky and did it."

Harry Lumley singled in the 2nd, hit an RBI triple in the 3rd, hit an RBI double in the 5th, flied out in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off Oscar Jones in the 8th. This year Lumley is batting .317 with 9 home runs.

News
Stone Hits .384 to Earn NL Crown
Monday, October 7th, 1907: George Stone went to the plate 560 times, collected 215 hits and came away with the 1907 National League batting title. His .384 average placed him at the top of the list. The Brooklyn Superbas left fielder played in 139 games and had 2 home runs, 102 RBIs and 115 runs scored.

Americans Cobb Newest .400 Hitter
Monday, October 7th, 1907: It might look like a typo in this season's stats reports. But the .401 next to the name of Ty Cobb is no mistake. That's his batting average for the recently completed season. Cobb is the newest member of baseball's .400 club.

The Boston right fielder tried to downplay the achievement. "It's just a number," he said. Then he admitted with a grin: "Okay, it's a big number!"

That number puts Cobb in the record books with some of the game's great players.

His other stats during this remarkable season include 274 hits, 49 doubles, 28 triples, 12 home runs, 148 runs and 128 RBIs.

NABL News: Draft Pool Revealed
Wednesday, October 2nd, 1907: North American BaseBall League divulged the 1907 list of eligible draftees today. It got little play in BNN coverage and why should it? Most players drafted in thirty days won't be on a big league club for years, if at all. Some will languish listlessly at the minor league level. Others will suffer a series of misfortunes, never quite making their mark, but always wowing scouts with their potential. And yet, some lucky team will draw a needle out of a haystack, send him off to the minors and forget about him for a while, only to realize they've got a Hall of Famer on their hands.

The top players available (in no particular order) seem to be:
1. Gavvy Cravath, 26 year-old left fielder out of college.
2. Ed Summers, 22 year-old starting pitcher out of college.
3. Harry Krause, 19 year-old starting pitcher out of high-school.
4. Joe Wood, 17 year-old starting pitcher out of high-school.
5. Jack Warhop, 23 year-old starting pitcher out of college.
6. Bill Burns, 27 year-old starting pitcher out of college.
7. Slim Sallee, 22 year-old starting pitcher out of college.
8. Burt Keeley, 27 year-old starting pitcher out of college.
9. Rube Marquard, 20 year-old starting pitcher out of college.
10. Frank Arellanes, 25 year-old starting pitcher out of college.

1907 Championship Series

NABL News: Playoffs begin
Monday, October 7th, 1907: A playoff baseball game has a surreal atmosphere. Fans become one, roaring in unison at a great play and sharing the grief at blown opportunity. Victory and defeat play out in a rainbow of colors, sounds, smells and feelings. North American BaseBall League playoff baseball is a memorable experience. What is it like? Ask the 10-year-old sitting with his dad as he plucks a foul ball out of the air. Ask the veteran slugger who hits that walk-off home run. Ask the manager in the big game after coming from 10 games back to win the pennant. Ask the countless number of legends who have flourished or those greats who never won the big one. Or tomorrow, ask any of the rookies what it's like to play in one of the North American Series showdowns:

Senators Triumph in 1907 North American Series
Wednesday, October 16th, 1907: The Senators earned their 3rd North American Series title and now get to spend all winter basking in glory, while the beaten Superbas will have plenty of time to wonder what went wrong.

Washington is the North American BaseBall League Champions for 1907. They did it with a 6-4 triumph to capture the series 4-3. MVP is Christy Mathewson (3-1, 3.52, 14 Ks)

"Both clubs are talented. We just made fewer mistakes than they did," the winning manager said to the press corps at the postgame press conference. "We made the crucial plays and got the timely hits."

The Brooklyn skipper agreed with that assessment and added, "We were a little weak on fundamentals at crucial times. I have a sneaky suspicion we will be working on fundamentals a lot next spring."

National League Selects #1 Rookie
Tuesday, October 29th, 1907: It was a very productive rookie season for Chicago center fielder Al Shaw. He made the club, made the starting lineup, then in the regular season put up numbers impressive enough that the National League presented him the league's Newcomer of the Year Award for 1907.

It was a season to remember for the 26-year-old Cubs newcomer. In addition to hitting .316, Shaw played in 114 games and collected 3 home runs, 82 RBIs and 97 runs scored.

St. Louis Starting Pitcher Cream of the AL Rookie Crop
Tuesday, October 29th, 1907: Walter Johnson's age didn't show very often in his first year. He performed more like a veteran on the hill for the St. Louis Browns and today he walked away with the 1907 American League Newcomer of the Year Award.

The 19-year-old starter registered a 20-17 record this season in 39 starts. Over 328.1 innings he gave up 338 hits, struck out 189 and issued 100 walks as he held the opposition to a .254 batting average and fashioned a 2.14 ERA.

NL Best Mound Performer Named
Thursday, October 31st, 1907: This past season was outstanding for Rube Waddell. The Brooklyn mound star sizzled with a 25-11 record and captured the prestigious 1907 NL Outstanding Pitcher Award.

The Superbas hurler posted a 1.38 ERA in 39 starts with 211 strikeouts and 103 walks in 346.2 innings. Waddell limited opposing teams to a .232 batting average.

Fireman Cops 1907 AL Outstanding Pitcher Award
Thursday, October 31st, 1907: A relief specialist has been selected the premier pitcher in the American League and will receive the Outstanding Pitcher Award for 1907. The top vote-getter was Jim St.Vrain of the Washington Senators, who finished the year with no saves in no save opportunities.

He had 35 wins and 12 losses with a 2.28 ERA. St.Vrain hurled 414.1 innings and totaled 246 strikeouts.

Wagner Chosen 1907 NL Outstanding Hitter Award
Friday, November 1st, 1907: Honus Wagner has been around North American BaseBall League enough to know a good hot streak when he sees one -- and he got to see one firsthand all year. For his standout run through the 1907 season, he's taking home the Outstanding Hitter Award in the National League.

The Brooklyn shortstop put up a batting average of .337 with 46 doubles, 18 triples, 12 home runs and 128 RBIs.

Ty Cobb Takes Best Bat Trophy
Friday, November 1st, 1907: There's something special about a guy who can stride up to the plate and put the ball anywhere -- in the stands, off the wall, into the gap, down the third base line. You name the place and Ty Cobb probably put it there on his way to winning the American League Outstanding Hitter Award for 1907.

The Boston right fielder belted out 274 hits in compiling a .401 batting average and racked up 49 doubles, 28 triples, 12 home runs, 128 RBIs and 148 runs scored.
