In a primitively lit night game played in the Southern Association in 1930, this lefthander struck out 23 batters. Brought up to the Giants in August 1932, Mooney went 7-1, but wildness made him a loser after that. (JK)

FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY » June 27, 1934: The temperature reaches 115 degrees at Sportsman's Park in St. Louis. Dizzy Dean leaves the game with two out and the score tied 7–7 in the top of the 9th. Reliever Jim Mooney retires Mel Ott, and when Bill Delancey homers in the bottom of the inning to win the game, Dean is given credit for the win, his 12th of the year, though he wasn't the pitcher of record when the winning run scores. As on the 24th, Mike Haley, the scorer who had been overruled earlier that day, is the scorer and gives the win to Dean. Taking no chances, he asks Heydler to review his decision and Heydler agrees.
