Weiland, a 6'4" fireballer, shut out the A's in his major league debut with his hometown White Sox on September 30, 1928. Hall of Fame teammate Red Faber made him his protege. In the next seven years, playing with second-division AL teams, Weiland never approximated his premier effort; he compiled a 20-57 record. It wasn't until he joined the Cardinals in 1937, at age 31, that he became a steady starter. He won 15 games in '37 and 16 in 1938. (JK)

» June 6, 1934: Cleveland's Bob Weiland, recently acquired, fires a one-hitter at the Tigers, but loses, 2–1. Charlie Gehringer's RBI single is the only hit. Weiland does stop Goose Goslin's hit streak at 30 games. The victory by Schoolboy Rowe puts the Tigers in 1st place.

» June 20, 1934: The AL leading New York Yankees trip the Indians twice, 3–2 and 3–0, at Yankee Stadium. New York ties the first game on Frank Crosetti's solo homer in the 8th of Bob Weiland, then wins it on Gehrig's 18th in the 9th. Lefty Gomez, in relief of Johnny Broaca, is the winner.
