Washington Senators Take North American Series
Friday, October 16th, 1914: Today the Washington Senators won the 1914 North American Series with a 3-1 victory over the Boston Braves at Griffith Stadium I. They won the series 4-2 and it was 4th time the victors have won the league title.

What's it like to win it all? "Words can't describe it," said the jubilant Senators skipper. "It really hasn't sunk in. Maybe it will sink in when we go ride around Washington with the trophy. Right now, it's just a lot of fun. This is the one you work for ever since you first picked up a baseball. This is what you dream of and this is what you work toward all year."

In defeat, the Braves manager told the press, "There's not that much difference," he said. "I know we got beat 4-2, but bad teams don't make it to the North American Series. They just executed better than we did. We're a good baseball team. The Senators were just better this time around. We'll be back again."

1914 Draft
NABL News: First-Year Player Draft

Hall Of Fame
Pioneer Inductee


Legends Welcome Brainard to HOF
Thursday, October 22nd, 1914: For quite a few seasons Asa Brainard unnerved batters as one of the best pitchers around. Yesterday it was his day for the jitters. The talented twirler became a baseball immortal as he was enshrined into the North American BaseBall League Hall of Fame.

"This is overwhelming, over the top. I can't put into words what this means," Brainard told the crowd that had gathered to honor him as baseball's newest legend. "You don't get to the Hall of Fame by yourself. I got here with the help of some great teammates, coaches and managers. One of the greatest lessons I learned was how to pitch from a hitter's perspective. That's when I became a better-than-average big league pitcher."

Asa Brainard retired at 40 after a celebrated baseball career. He pitched in 231 games, compiled an impressive 89-89 won-lost record with a 2.32 ERA.

Service Inductee


Ferguson Honored by NABL Hall of Fame
Thursday, October 22nd, 1914: The newest member of the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame looked impressive standing in front of the assembled crowd. The bronze plaque shined in the bright sun, gleaming from the fresh polish. "Man, that guy is handsome!" Charlie Ferguson commented. "I never realized that I looked so good!"

One of the most colorful characters in league history, Ferguson was also one of the league's most dominant starting pitchers. Racking up a career record of 353-316, he was a pitcher that no manager ever worried about while he was on the mound. Off the field, however...

"We always had to be careful in the locker room," one of his former managers remembered with a laugh. "If you weren't paying attention, you would fall victim to one of his infamous pranks. There was never a dull moment when this guy was around."

"I always felt that if I could bring the guys together by making them laugh, then I was doing my job on the days I wasn't pitching," Ferguson explained. "We play a kids' game, after all, so why shouldn't we have some fun? In fact, it was probably the key to my success. I just hope the other statues in the Hall are prepared; I'm sure this guy will keep them on their toes."

He retired at the age of 40. In his outstanding career Ferguson appeared in 754 games, pitched 5916.2 innings, fanned 2393 batters, walked 1541 and compiled a 2.81 ERA.

St.Vrain Twirls No-Hitter Against Tigers
Monday, August 9th, 1915: Is it better to be good -- or lucky? After his 2-0 no-hitter over the Detroit Tigers he responded, "I don't know," said Washington's Jim St.Vrain with a grin. "To do what I did, I guess it takes both."

On his historic day at Griffith Stadium I St.Vrain made good pitches the entire game, fanned 3 and had 3 walks. When the Tigers hit the ball hard, they hit it right at someone for an out.

But that's how you get a no-hitter -- a lot of skill mixed with a little luck.

This year his stats show St.Vrain has no saves in no relief appearances with a 20-8 record and 1.65 ERA.

Johnson Gets No-Hitter Against New York
Wednesday, September 8th, 1915: Excitement reigned at the ballyard today as Washington hurler Walter Johnson tossed a baseball rarity -- a no-hitter.

After defeating the New York Yankees at Polo Grounds IV 2-1 he was swamped by reporters in the clubhouse for postgame comments. "I'm just glad to be here. I want to help the club any way I can. Today I just went right at the New York as hard as I could, as long as I could."

Johnson chalked up 9 strikeouts and allowed 2 walks in his superb performance.

The Washington manager had his own analysis of the ballgame: "I don't think we could have hit him with a howitzer today."

White Sox Houck Fires No-Hitter
Wednesday, April 19th, 1916: Byron Houck of the Chicago White Sox was certainly the King of the Hill today in the American League. He really did a number on the St. Louis Browns -- and that number was zero -- the number of hits he gave up in his 4-0 victory at Comiskey Park.

"I can't believe I got a no-hitter!" said an exuberant Houck after the game. "That is the last thing you think about when you go out to the mound. You just want to win the game. The toughest part was the last couple of innings. Everybody in the ballpark knows you have a no-hitter, including me. That was the hard part, keeping your focus and concentration while your heart is pounding."

Houck recorded 4 strikeouts and 1 walk in his sensational performance.
