Williams Makes History, Wins Triple Crown
Monday, October 4th, 1948
When it came to hitting the baseball, Ted Williams had few peers in the National League this year. The gifted left fielder for Pittsburgh led the league in hitting, home runs, and runs batted in to capture the 10th Triple Crown in NABL history.

He put up a .344 average, 39 home runs, and 125 RBIs during the 1948 campaign. A truly historic performance.

Speaking to reporters, Williams said, "I'd be happy to lead the league in just one of these categories. To win all three makes this an extra special season."

Stan Musial Claims 1948 AL Batting Title
Monday, October 4th, 1948
Cleveland's Stan Musial topped the American League in hitting this past year. The outstanding Indians first baseman posted a .333 average to garner the title. Musial 195 hits included 33 doubles, 10 triples and 26 home runs. This season's batting king also drove in 103 runs and scored 92 times.

NABL News: Draft Pool Revealed
Sunday, September 12th, 1948
The speculation as to who will be the number one pick can now officially begin. Earlier today, North American BaseBall League published its list of players eligible for the annual rookie draft. For the next thirty days, scouts will be busy studying this untested talent in order to come up with a list of names to recommend that their clubs pursue. But just who those picks will be won't be known until the draft is conducted next month.

A section on the potential draftees has been added to the Transaction section of the BNN site, which will be available for 30 days before the draft takes place.

The top players available (in no particular order) seem to be:
1. Cliff Mapes, 26 year-old center fielder out of college.
2. Roy Sievers, 21 year-old center fielder out of college.
3. Bill Howerton, 26 year-old center fielder out of college.
4. Solly Hemus, 25 year-old second baseman out of college.
5. Minnie Minoso, 22 year-old right fielder out of college.
6. Smoky Burgess, 21 year-old catcher out of college.
7. Monte Irvin, 29 year-old first baseman out of college.
8. Luke Easter, 33 year-old first baseman out of college.
9. Cal Abrams, 24 year-old left fielder out of college.
10. Tommy Glaviano, 24 year-old third baseman out of college.

NABL News: Playoffs begin
Monday, October 4th, 1948
Playoff baseball is a being unto itself. It is a mythical creature, a fleeting, mystical force that consumes anyone with a passion for one of the ballclubs vying for championship gold. It sweeps over you, pins you to your seat or kicks you forcibly to your feet in the flash of an instant. Today, the North American BaseBall League gives way to this passion as players, fans and the elite clubs of the league embark on an exciting journey fraught with anguish and ecstasy. Here is the slate for today's games in the North American Series:
Pittsburgh Pirates versus New York Yankees.

NABL News: Playoffs begin
Monday, October 3rd, 1949
"Baseball is a marathon," or so the saying goes. But once the North American BaseBall League playoffs start today, it's a sprint to the finish. One false move, one errant miscue, one pressure-packed flub will end your team's chances of winning the title. It could be over in a moment. On the other hand, one swing of the bat or a fastball blown by the last hitter could just as easily send your team parading down Main Street, hoisting a 24-carat gold-studded North American Series trophy before an adoring crowd. The contending ballclubs are all poised and ready -- the playoffs begin today with several North American Series showdowns:
Pittsburgh Pirates versus Cleveland Indians.

Pittsburgh Triumphs in North American Series
Wednesday, October 12th, 1949
Nobody played better baseball this season than the North American BaseBall League champions, the Pittsburgh Pirates.

They defeated the Cleveland Indians 5-2 today at Cleveland Stadium and hauled in the North American Series trophy for the 3rd time in their history.

Draft
NABL News: First-Year Player Draft
Wednesday, October 12th, 1949
The North American BaseBall League amateur draft looms large today. The talent selected could determine the fate of baseball clubs for years to come. In reality it is a lottery. You make your pick and pay your money. Most of the time the teams lose, but occasionally they hit the jackpot and get an impact player. That is what they are hoping for. BNN analysts have rated these players as most likely to be chosen in the early rounds:
1. Joe Adcock, 21 year-old left fielder out of college.
2. Charlie Maxwell, 22 year-old right fielder out of college.
3. Gus Zernial, 26 year-old left fielder out of college.
4. Jackie Jensen, 22 year-old left fielder out of college.
5. Gus Bell, 20 year-old right fielder out of college.
6. Jim Lemon, 21 year-old left fielder out of college.
7. Chico Carrasquel, 21 year-old shortstop out of college.
8. Bobby Morgan, 23 year-old third baseman out of college.
9. Irv Noren, 24 year-old center fielder out of college.
10. Don Lenhardt, 27 year-old left fielder out of college..

Tuesday, October 25th, 1949
A fine inaugural season has paid off handsomely for Tommy Glaviano of the Boston Braves. The 25-year-old topped off his debut year with the 1949 National League Newcomer of the Year Award.

The Braves second baseman took the trophy by hitting .268 in 148 games and finished with 147 hits, 13 home runs, 80 RBIs and 80 runs scored.

Best Rookie Trophy Presented to Rosen
Tuesday, October 25th, 1949
Today the American League announced the winner of the 1949 Newcomer of the Year Award. The top-ranked rookie was the talented Cleveland third baseman Al Rosen.

The 25-year-old Indians newcomer took the trophy by hitting .266 in 151 games this season and finished with 147 hits, 28 home runs, 85 RBIs and 102 runs scored.

Walter Johnson Award Winner Announced
Thursday, October 27th, 1949
An old hand in this game, Harry Brecheen of the St. Louis Cardinals silenced critics as well as he silenced the opposition this year by winning the National League Walter Johnson Award.

The 35-year-old starter threw 288.2 innings, notched 124 strikeouts and put up a 21-6 record to claim the coveted award.

Athletics Ace, Walter Johnson Award Winner
Thursday, October 27th, 1949
He's in the early phase of his career, but this past season Chuck Stobbs performed like a veteran on the hill for the Philadelphia Athletics and walked away with the American League Walter Johnson Award in the process.

The 20-year-old Athletics star fashioned a 18-11 won-loss record in 1949 with a 2.37 ERA. In 281.1 innings of work and 34 starts, Stobbs struck out 147 while giving up 248 hits and 87 walks. He held opposing batters to a .237 average.

Williams Chosen 1949 NL Ty Cobb Award
Friday, October 28th, 1949
Ted Williams of the Pittsburgh Pirates proved that you can step out of the shadows and onto the stage if you've got the talent and the drive to hone your skills. Hard work, long hours and a tireless resolve paid off for him today in the form of the National League Ty Cobb Award.

Williams hit for a .316 average while collecting 175 hits, 29 doubles, 4 triples, 42 home runs, 122 RBIs and scoring 122 times.

Musial Nabs AL Ty Cobb Award
Friday, October 28th, 1949
Stan Musial 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 1949 season, he's taking home the Ty Cobb Award in the American League.

The Cleveland first baseman put up a batting average of .331 with 33 doubles, 17 triples, 22 home runs and 95 RBIs.

Second Career As Broadcaster Awaits Retiring Williams
Friday, October 28th, 1949
Cleveland second baseman Dib Williams says he has decided to retire from playing baseball in order to begin a career in the broadcast booth. Coaches and teammates have always considered Williams to be highly intelligent and articulate. "He's a smart guy and he knows a lot about the game," said Indians bench coach Frank Browning. "He should do very well as a broadcaster." Team officials have confirmed that Williams will be invited to sit in as color commentator during local broadcasts next season. If all goes well, they said, he may eventually be elevated to the position full-time.
