Stephen T. O'Neill, the young catcher of the Cleveland American League Club, was born at Minooka, Pa., July 6, 1892, and first attracted attention as an independent player in his home town in 1910. He is a brother of the famous O'Neills who once formed a battery at St. Louis, and Mike took him to Elmira, of the New York State League, in 1910. In the spring of 1912 he was taken South by the Athletics, but was sent to Worcester, of the New England League, for further seasoning. At that place he was a star, and was purchased by Cleveland in the fall and has been with that club ever since.
No. 5, Covering The Bag: When a baserunner is attempting to steal second, Gehringer races over and straddles the base, standing with his feet pressed against the sides of the bag (see drawing). Thus he keeps his feet and ankles protected from the sharp spikes as the runner comes sliding in. After Gehringer takes the throw from his catcher, he holds the ball a foot or so in front of the base and allows the runner to slide into the ball, touching him on the ankle. Never attempt to touch a sliding runner on the upper part of his body.
Like many players, DiMaggio missed three seasons due to his service in World War II. Returning to Boston in 1946, the veteran looked as good as ever, as he batted .316-the second-highest mark of his career-while playing stellar defense in center field to earn his third All-Star selection for his World Series-bound team.
