Tony Cuccinello was a top-notch infielder for the Reds, Dodgers and Braves from 1930 to 1943. During that time he established a record for the most double-plays by a second baseman. He hit over .300 five seasons and owns a fine .280 lifetime major league batting average. In 1957, Tony came to Chicago as a coach. Ray Berres begins his twelfth year as a White Sox coach this season. Before joining Chicago, he was a coach with the Braves and with Minneapolis in the A.A. Johnny Cooney was one of the most versatile in the National League from 1922 until 1944. He pitched - compiling a record of 34-44, played the outfield and first base, and has a lifetime .286 batting mark. In 1957 he joined the Sox coaching staff. Don Gutteridge made his mark playing third base for the Cards from 1936 to 1945. He was a sure-handed fielder and fine clutch hitter.
No. 4, First Baseman's Stretch. In judging close plays at first base, major league umpires watch for the runner's foot to strike the base and, at the same time, listen for the smack of the ball against the first baseman's mitt; thus combining sight and sound to make the decision. Knowing this, Bill Terry and other star first sackers, stretch as far as they can to meet the thrown ball (see drawing), shortening its flight by five or six feet and causing it to smack into their glove a split second sooner than if they waited while standing upright on the bag. - By Austen Lake, Baseball Editor, Boston Transcript.
Stan became a 20-game winner for 1st time in career, 1972, and credits his success to Chisox Pitching Coach Johnny Sain. The curve ball thrown at a slower speed and the variation of the slider by also throwing it sidearm made the difference.
