1944
IN THE NEWS:
The Giants lose to Brooklyn 8-1, as Giant Joe
Medwick is hit on the elbow and leaves the game for
treatment. With both teams out of the race, Dodgers
manager Leo Durocher agrees to allow Medwick to reenter
the game if Durocher can pick the pinch runner for
him. He selects slow-footed Gus Mancuso, who is promptly
erased on a DP ground ball.
