FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY
»January 24, 1961: The A's trade outfielders Whitey Herzog and Russ Snyder to the Orioles for IF Wayne Causey, P Jim Archer, OF Bob Boyd, and OF Al Pilarcik. Boyd, with the Orioles since 1956, leaves with a .301 average with the Birds, a team career mark that won't be topped this century.
»August 11, 1961:
In a classic pitching duel, White Sox lefty Billy Pierce and KC's Jim Archer walk none and neither go to 3–2 in the count. Luis Aparicio's home run is the only score as the Sox win 1–0 in one hour, 32 minutes.
