    Lew Fonseca

    Lew Fonseca from the Chronology

    May 8, 1934 - The Chicago White Sox name Jimmie Dykes as their new manager‚ replacing Lew Fonseca‚ who later will become the motion picture specialist for the ML.

    May 30, 1932 - At Cleveland‚ the Tribe takes a pair from the White Sox‚ 12-6 and 12-11. Afterwards‚ Chicago claims the umpire George Moriarty deliberately made wrong calls and the ump fights with four of the Sox players under the stands. Moriarty breaks his fist knocking down pitcher Milt Gaston‚ but he is pummeled by manager Lew Fonseca and catchers Charlie Berry and Frank Grube. The ump ends up in the hospital while Fonseca and three players will receive fines for the fight. Will Harridge will suspend Gaston for 10 days‚ fine him $500‚ and rebuke Moriarty.

    Jun 5, 1931 - Two days after beating the White Sox‚ 2-1‚ Lefty Grove pitches 6 innings of relief against Chicago‚ losing 7-5 in 12 innings. A homer by Lew Fonseca beats Grove‚ ending an 8-game winning streak by the A's ace. He'll promptly start another streak on the 8th.

    May 17, 1931 - Willie Kamm‚ star White Sox 3B‚ is traded to Cleveland for Lew Fonseca‚ who will manage Chicago next season.

    Jun 9, 1928 - Outfielder Charlie Jamieson starts his 2nd triple play in 3 weeks‚ this time against the Yanks in the 2nd inning. Ben Paschal is on 3B‚ and Lazzeri on 1st‚ when Jamieson snags a line drive hit by Joe Dugan. Charlie's quick throw to 1B Lew Fonseca nabs Lazzeri‚ and Paschal is out at home when he tries to score. Again‚ Cleveland is on the losing end‚ as New York wins 7-3.
