Turbeville came from Turbeville, SC, a town established by his ancestors. Though ambidextrous, he pitched righthanded. His failure was linked to his wildness - he walked 157 batters and struck out only 47. In his second ML start, he shut out Cleveland for 14-2/3 innings (walking 13) before being tagged for a two-run homer by Earl Averill. (NLM)
FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY
» May 10, 1936: By beating the A's, 7–2, at home the Yankees move into first place and will remain there the rest of the season. Rookie Joe DiMaggio makes his belated home debut and hits his first home run, off George Turbeville. Lou Gehrig has four hits and two RBIs and Johnny Murphy, in his first start of the season, picks up the win.

» May 24, 1936: Yankees 2B Tony Lazzeri sets several slugging marks with two grand slams, a 3rd home run, and a triple for 15 total bases in a 25–2 slaughter of the Athletics at Shibe Park. Tony has now hit seven home runs in four games and six in three games. He also sets a new AL mark of 11 RBIs in one game. DiMaggio has three hits, including a homer, and Frank Crosetti also goes deep as a league mark is tied when nine Yanks score two or more runs. Another major-league record is tied when Ben Chapman draws five walks as the Yanks are handed 16 bases on balls. Gehrig exits early and is replaced by his favorite sub, Jack Saltzgaver. Monte Pearson is the winner over George Turbeville in the laugher.
