Pellagrini homered in his first ML at-bat, but didn't hit enough to play regularly
through the rest of his career. A utility man who visibly hustled, he was a fan favorite.

FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY
|
| » April 22, 1946:
Boston's Eddie Pellagrini homers in his first
at bat in the ML, in a 5-4 Red Sox win over Washington.
» May 17, 1947: A seagull flies over Fenway Park and pelts St. Louis Browns P Ellis Kinder with a 3-pound smelt, missing him by a gill. The unflappable Kinder holds on to top the Red Sox, 4–2, giving up six hits, including Eddie Pellagrini's 3rd homer of the year. Mel Parnell gives up three runs in four innings for the loss.
» November 17, 1947: In a major deal that helps the Red Sox, Boston ships
Roy Partee, Jim Wilson, Al Widmar, Eddie Pellagrini,
Pete Layden and Joe Owstrowski and $310,000 to the
Browns for Jack Kramer and Vern Stephens. Stephens
will lead the AL in RBI in 2 of the next 3 seasons
while averaging 33 HRs each year.
