The 2017 Baseball Season: Houston Strong
by Steve Ehresman
The 2017 baseball season was a year of extremes. Long balls, winning streaks, and hurricanes dominated the headlines. Powerhouse franchises struggled in the post-season, while newcomers to October baseball pushed their way to the forefront. Altogether, the 2017 season delivered explosive offense, historic performances, and a feel-good finish for a city in need of heroes.
With National League MVP Giancarlo Stanton (59 HR, 132 RBI), American League Rookie of the Year Aaron Judge (52 HR), J.D. Martinez (45 HR), Khris Davis (43 HR), Joey Gallo (41 HR), Nelson Cruz (39 HR), and National League Rookie of the Year Cody Bellinger (39 HR) blasting away, a record-setting 6,104 long balls were launched in 2017, obliterating the old record of 5,693, set in the 2000 season. In addition, Colorado Rockies teammates Charlie Blackmon (213 hits, 137 runs, 37 home runs, 104 RBI, .331) and Nolan Arenado (187 hits, 100 runs, 37 home runs, 130 RBI, .309) absolutely crushed it, helping to make 2107 a year for the ages.
In addition to heavy hitters, the 2017 season featured stand-out mound performances by Cy Young Award winners Corey Kluber (18-4, 265 strikeouts, 2.25) and Max Scherzer (16-6, 268 Ks, 2.51. Likewise, Clayton Kershaw (18-4, 202 Ks, 2.31) and Justin Verlander (15-8, 219 Ks, 3.36) made contributions that helped put their teams into the Fall Classic
Beyond the avalanche of home runs and strikeouts, the 2017 MLB season featured wild-ride streaks by the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Cleveland Indians. Celebrating their 60th season in Los Angeles, the Dodgers, eventual National League Champions, won 104 games, the most in MLB for 2017; however, on their way to that total, the Dodgers became the only team ever to win 15 of 16 games and to lose 15 of 16 games in the same season. One of the most impressive streaks in MLB history was compiled by the Cleveland Indians who won 22 straight games, setting a new American League mark and coming within 4 games of the overall record of 26 straight games, set by the 1916 New York Giants.
The 2017 season was a year for upstarts, as the Colorado Rockies, the Arizona Diamondbacks, and the Minnesota Twins exceeded expectations and qualified for the post-season. Similarly, in the Bronx the New York Yankees put together a campaign that took them further than spring-time prognosticators had anticipated. On the other hand, the Boston Red Sox, the Cleveland Indians, the Washington Nationals, and the Chicago Cubs, favored by many to boogie down at the Big Dance, succumbed to superior talent in the rarefied October air.
Nevertheless, when the history of the 2017 MLB season is recorded for posterity, one story will stand alone: that of the World Series Champion Houston Astros. In June 2014, Sports Illustrated put George Springer of the Houston Astros on its cover with the headline story “Your 2017 World Series Champs.” Whether SI was lucky or prescient is a discussion best left for the patrons of sports bars. What is beyond question is the excellence of the 2017 Astros. Led by American League MVP Jose Altuve (39 doubles, 24 home runs, 81 RBI, 32 stolen bases, .346), the ‘Stros put together a 101-61 campaign, besting the New York Yankees in a 7-game ALCS and defeating the Los Angeles Dodgers in one of the greatest Fall Classics in the long history of autumn baseball. By the way, that George Springer kid was pretty good in 2017, swatting 29 doubles, blasting 34 home runs, driving in 85 runs, batting .283, and winning the MVP for the World Series.
After Hurricane Harvey had devastated Houston only weeks before, the Astros created a legacy that transcends sport and reminds us that even amid despair, dedication, teamwork, and perhaps fate can produce champions when we need them most. As we are reminded in The Sandlot: “Heroes get remembered, but legends never die.” In 2017, the Houston Astros became legends.

1923: The Legacy That Ruth Built
by Steve Ehresman
In 1923, the first issue of Time magazine was published, Roy and Walt Disney founded The Walt Disney Company, Calvin Coolidge became the 30th President of the United States, and Jacob Ruppert opened a new 2.4-million-dollar baseball stadium in the Bronx. Known as “The Big Ballpark in the Bronx,” “The Cathedral of Baseball,” or simply “The Stadium,” this iconic edifice would stand 85 years and host 6.581 regular season baseball games, as well as numerous historic World Series contests. Christened with a home run by its most famous resident on April 18, 1923, Colonel Ruppert’s ballpark became known as “The House that Ruth Built.” The rest, as they say, is history.
The 1923 baseball season saw the New York Yankees emerge as the Big Apple’s premier baseball team, eclipsing John McGraw’s New York Giants. Led by MVP George Herman “Babe” Ruth (45 doubles, 13 triples, 41 home runs, 130 RBI, 170 Walks, 17 stolen bases, .393), the Yankees overwhelmed the American League, winning the pennant by 16 games and knocking out the Giants in a six-game World Series. Ruth’s first season at “The Stadium” is one of the greatest performances in the history of Major League Baseball. Babe was not alone, however, as the Yankees also featured a superb pitching staff of Sad Sam Jones (21-8), Herb Pennock, Bullet Joe Bush, Waite Hoyt, and Bob Shawkey to record a 98-54 record and leave the second-place Detroit Tigers in the dust, 16 games off the pace. A powerful 20-year-old first baseman, Lou Gehrig, made his major-league debut, blasting a home run and posting a.423 average in 26 at bats.
The Yankees were not alone in their boasting of all-star players in 1923. The Detroit Tigers’ Harry Heilmann smacked 44 doubles, 11 triples, 18 home runs, while driving in 115 runs and leading the league with a blistering .403 average. Aging Ty Cobb assisted Heilmann with 40 doubles and a .340 average, and ace pitcher Hooks Dauss posted a 21-13 record. Tris Speaker put a monster year on the board for the third-place Cleveland Indians, blasting 59 doubles, 11 triples, and 17 home runs, as he drove in 130 runs and batted .380. Speaker’s teammate George Uhle led the American League with a 26-16 record, while appearing in 54 games (44 starts), tossing 29 complete games, and logging 378 innings—all of which set the pace in the Junior Circuit. Stan Coveleski, Uhle’s teammate on the Indians, recorded a 2.76 ERA to lead the league.
Beyond the achievements of these superlative performers, Heine Manush (.334), Joe Sewell (.353), Charlie Jamieson (.345), Goose Goslin (18 triples, .300), Sam Rice (18 triples, 20 stolen bases, .316), Ken Williams (37 doubles, 12 triples, 29 home runs, 18 stolen bases, .357), Eddie Collins (49 stolen bases, .360), Urban Shocker (20-12), and Howard Ehmke (20-17) all contributed excellent performances.
Over in the National League, John McGraw’s Giants still reigned supreme, pushing past the Cincinnati Reds to capture the pennant with a 95-58 record. With George “High Pockets” Kelly (32 doubles, 10 triples, 16 home runs, 103 RBI, 14 stolen bases, .307), Frankie “The Fordham Flash” Frisch (43 doubles, 10 triples, 12 home runs, 111 RBI, 20 stolen bases, .348), Ross Youngs (33 doubles, 12 triples, 13 stolen bases, .336), and Irish Meusel (22 doubles, 14 triples, 19 home runs, 125 RBI) doing the heavy-hitting, the Giants set themselves up for third consecutive World Series against the Yankees.
Cincinnati stayed in the pennant race, thanks primarily to their pitching staff of Dolf Luque, Eppa Rixey, and Pete Donohue. Whereas Rixey (20-5, 2.80) and Donohue (21-15) were more than creditable starters, Luque was other-worldly, appearing in 41 games (37 starts), twirling 37 complete game, and chalking-up 322 innings, on his way to a 27-8 record and a microscopic 1.93 ERA. At the plate, Ed Roush (41 doubles, 18 triples, .351) stood out for the Reds.
Pittsburgh finished third, with Pie Traynor (19 doubles, 19 triples, 101 RBI, 28 stolen bases, .338), Charlie “Jolly Cholly Grimm (29 doubles, 13 triples, .345), Clyde Barnhart (25 doubles, 13 triples, .324), and speedster Max Carey (32 doubles, 18 triples, 51 stolen bases, .308) leading the charge with their bats. On the mound, Johnny Morrison had a phenomenal year, appearing in 42 games (37 starts), recording 27 complete games, pitching 302 innings, and posting a 25-13 record.
The rest of the Senior Circuit featured great seasons from a host of stars: Rogers “The Rajah” Hornsby (32 doubles, 10 triples, 17 home runs, .384), Jim Bottomley (.371), Jack Fournier (30 doubles, 13 triples, 22 home runs, .351), Cy Williams (41 home runs, 114 RBI), Jesse Haines (20-13), Burleigh “Ol’ Stubblebeard” Grimes, and Grover Cleveland “ Old Pete” Alexander (22-12).
In 1923, the New York Yankees, playing in “The House That Ruth Built,” began to forge an indelible legacy, making Pinstripes the height of sartorial fashion in the sporting world, as they epitomized excellence for the better part of four decades.
