Lou Ross' Dodger Weekend

Well, talk about interesting! I have attached a few photos from the
Coliseum last night where there were 115,300.

I met my old friend and neighbor Joe Pignatano. When we ssw each other
he grabbed me by the shirt and said "come inside with me, Nancy (his
wife) will be happy." Inside we went and I got to hobnob with a few guys
you might know: Wally Moon, Roger Craig, Lee Lacy, Norm Sherry, Don
Newcombe, Carl Erskine. Among others. WHAT A THRILL!!

Pic Ross has me on the right of Joe, then 2 and 3 are inside. Damn it
was like a little league field, but as the players said, it was for the
experience. Vin Scully said that if they do this in 50 years to
commemorate the 100th anniversary, he will not be there.

Anyway, enjoy the pics and I will be back on Wednesday.

WIWAG--3 LEAGUES/STATUS

I waited a bit after the State of the Union message to see how things shook out for managers and WIWAG’s future seasons.

Here is where we stand right now:

WWG-I: For the 1949 season, Bob Mayhew, who assumed control of Toronto down the stretch, will not return. He is in fact, dropping all of his DMB leagues and will spend time doing solo replays.

Marc Robinson, from the WWG-III league will take over Toronto. No additional managerial changes at this time.

As previously noted, I will retain this league as commish.

WWG-II: As noted above, Bob will be leaving and another member from WWG-III, Peter Reoch, will assume control of the Mill Street Blues starting in 1960. No other changes as Joe Heiberger agreed to remain in this league with the Redbirds.

Don Rahn will become commish of the WWG-II league.

WWG-III: A number of changes here and we are in need of 4 managers.

Tom Schmidt (Mike C’s son-in-law) will take over Birmingham.

We will need replacement skippers for Gahanna (Bob), Brunswick (no manager), Milwaukee (Jeff), Cincinnati (Joe).

If there are people in your other leagues whom you feel would be a good addition, let me know and I will pass info to Claud who will take over as WWG-III commish

All-WIWAG Championship

Would there be any interest in having an annual all-WIWAG championship? It would help tie the three leagues together, particularly for those of us who do not participate in all three. Sort of like (and I may get shot for this) soccer's Champions' League in Europe.



We could start with a 12-game round robin tourney with each team playing a 2-game home and 2-game road series against each of the other two. The finals would then be a seven-game series between the two teams coming out of the round-robin with the best records. If one manager gets two teams in, he would have the computer manager coach the road team in each game between the two. If somebody had all three teams, we would have to conduct an investigation. . . ;-)



The first could be held once 1948, 1960, and 1971 championship series have all three finished. I know the seasons do not coincide, so it would involve at least one of the champions going back to "last year" to manage their team through the tournament.

Thoughts? Remember, no flaming. :-)
