Leave it to our Sabre expert to get the right answer. Well done. I can't claim credit for knowing the answer; I just knew how to find the answer quickly. |

Congratulations to the Commish for his correct answer! I love listening to the treasure trove of Classic Baseball Games on the Radio from the 1930's-1970's. Bob Prince and Nellie King announced the Pirates win over the Cubs on June 28, 1970 ... The final game played at Forbes Field. Indeed, Jimmy Nelson was the winning pitcher.
Another fun game to listen to is the Jim Bunning vs Nolan Ryan matchup on April 18, 1970. Bob Murphy and Lindsay Nelson trumpet Bunning's career strikeout records, unknowingly foreshadowing Ryan's eventual strikeout dominance in MLB. Ryan goes on to K 15 Phillies in that day's contest. Great fun ...

Okay... The just-drafted Aurelio Monteagudo has all five English vowels in his first name. What pitcher of the 1970s had all five vowels in his LAST name? A couple of hints: he’s not in the VBG for a few more years, and there have since been several other major league players with the same last name.

Not getting any nibbles on this one., so I’ll throw in a hint: he had a 20-win season and a 19-win season for the Yankees during the 1970s...

I missed the notification for the question that was posted yesterday; don't know why. But I saw the second message with the hint. The delay didn't matter because I would have needed the hint anyway.
