1947 AAA baseball program Jersey Giants vs Montreal Royals
Scarce International League baseball program, many interesting player names! Year after Jackie Robinson broke into professional baseball with the Royals.
Official Program and Scorecard 10¢ Game at Roosevelt Stadium
The Jersey City Giants were the International League AAA affiliate of the New York Giants, Montreal of the Brooklyn Dodgers. Jersey City won the league title in 1947, Montreal finished second.
Undated.
Bruno Betzel returned as manager and the team went worst-to-first with a 94-60 mark before again falling in the first round of the playoffs. Myatt returned to play third and hit .303 while SS Virgil Stallcup batted .338 in 78 games. Jack Graham cranked out 34 long balls and Les Layton added 20 more to lead the league's top-scoring offense. Jake Wade (17-5, 2.51) was the ace of a fine staff…
Some players of note in this program:
(JC) Sal Ivars, best remembered as the player on the New York Giants who relayed stolen signals to his teammates awaiting in the batters box during the 1951 pennant-winning season.
(JC) George Edward Myatt, in 1936 Boston Red Sox GM Collins traveled to San Diego to scout him in a minor league game, but came away more impressed with 17-year-old teammate. Collins passed on Myatt and acquired Ted Williams, who became perhaps the greatest modern hitter and was elected, as Collins was, to the Baseball Hall of Fame.
(JC) Newton Michael "Mickey" Grasso, POW in 1943 and lost lost 60 pounds during his internment. Grasso was known for his fiery temper and was one of the Senators' most popular players of the early 1950s
(JC) Robert Max "Sugar" Cain, pitcher with the Chicago White Sox, Detroit Tigers and St. Louis Browns between 1949 and 1954. Cain was the pitcher who issued a base on balls to Eddie Gaedel, whose single plate appearance made him the shortest person to appear in a major league game.
(M) Roy Campenella, widely considered to be one of the greatest catchers in the history of the game, Campanella played for the Brooklyn Dodgers in the 1940s and 1950s. After he retired as a player as a result of the accident, Campanella held positions in scouting and community relations with the Dodgers. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1969.
(M) Al Campanis, most famous for his position as general manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers from 1968 to 1987, from which he was fired on April 8, 1987, as a result of controversial remarks regarding blacks in baseball made during an interview on Nightline two days earlier. He was the first Greek player in MLB history.
(M) Erv Palica, During his best season (Dodgers), 1950, he made 19 starts, won 13 of 21 decisions, and threw 10 complete games with two shutouts. He appeared in the 1949 World Series, throwing two shutout innings in relief against the New York Yankees.
