Bob Muncrief from the Chronology

Aug 26, 1949 - The Cubs trip the Dodgers‚ 4-2‚ routing Joe Hatten in the 3rd inning. Hank Sauer knocks in the first three runs‚ twice tripping up the shift and hitting to RF. The last run comes on a successful double steal‚ with Andy Pafko scoring on the front end. Bob Rush and Bob Muncrief‚ the winner‚ collaborate on a six-hitter.

Jul 16, 1948 - Ordered by Bill Veeck to pass up the All-Star game‚ a well-rested Bob Feller is shelled from the mound with only one out in the first inning by the A's. The A's score first when Feller absent-mindedly goes into a windup with two on‚ and Coleman and McCosky pull a double steal. The Mackmen then jump on Bob Muncrief and roll to a 10-5 win over the AL-leading Indians. Lou Brissie wins his 4th straight. Joe Coleman will shut out the Tribe‚ 5-0‚ tomorrow to split the series.

Apr 7, 1946 - In a 10-7 exhibition loss to the Cubs‚ Browns pitcher Bob Muncrief breaks his toe when hit by a line drive off the bat of Al Glossup. Muncrief‚ 13-4 in 1945‚ will reverse it to 3-12 this season. Vern Stephens‚ who just jumped back from the Mexican League‚ hits a 3-run homer. The Browns also announce the release of one-time NL star Ducky Medwick.

Sep 16, 1945 - At New York‚ the Browns and Yankees split a pair‚ the Bombers losing the opener‚ 6-2‚ to Bob Muncrief. Vern Stephens has a 3-run homer and drives in 4 runs. Leadoff hitter Pete Gray is 1-for-4‚ collecting his safety off reliever Tiny Bonham. It is the last major league hit for the one-armed outfielder as he goes 0-for-3 in the nitecap‚ a 5-4 win for New York. Spud Chandler‚ the winning pitcher‚ drives in 3 runs.

Sep 7, 1945 - Facing the Brown's Bob Muncrief Joe Kuhel hits an inside-the-park HR into the CF corner‚ the only homer hit by a Senator all season at Washington's cavernous Griffith Stadium. The Nats hit 26 more on the road. The Senators win‚ 3-2‚ behind Roger Wolff's 4-hitter. Muncrief also tosses a 4-hitter. George Case scores the 1st run on a steal of home and also steals 2B and scores just before Kuhel's HR in the 3rd inning.

Jul 6, 1944 - At Philadelphia‚ the first-place Browns top the A's 5-0‚ behind Bob Muncrief's 4-hitter. Vern Stephen's 3-run HR in the 1st is the big offensive blow. Woody Wheaton‚ 1943 player-manager at Lancaster‚ takes the loss. Wheaton started the season in the outfield.

Jun 28, 1944 - At Yankee Stadium‚ the Yankees move into 2nd place‚ beating the Browns‚ 7-2‚ for their 6th win in 8 games with St. Louis. Bob Muncrief loses‚ snapping his 6-game win streak. Stirnweiss hits an inside-the-park HR to CF with a man on in the 4th.

Jul 16, 1941 - Chet Laabs has a record-tying 4 long hits-2 homers‚ a triple and double-to pace the Browns to an 11-2 win over the A's. Bob Muncrief is the winner.

Aug 2, 1940 - In San Antonio‚ a crowd of 11‚956 is on hand to watch veteran Dizzy Dean pitch for the Cubs' affiliate Tulsa Oilers (Texas League) against the Missions. Dean is rocked for 10 hits and 5 runs in 5 innings as the Mission hit seven "crowd rule doubles" in the game. Bob Muncrief allows 11 hits but pitches a 7-3 complete game for his 20th win.
