'pfr' jfovmit :Tiffir fan.' and whrt aim handles the publicity job for. the local ;American Legion post and man aged the Legion juniors when Capital Post No. 9 sponsored a team, was talking tn his favor- ite baseball topics the other day, the Detroit teams of 1933-34-35. Since Grant knows his baseball after having both;; played and : followed the game closely near ly all his life, we asked him if he'd do a bit for this corner one day. Today's the day, so take it from- here, Mr. Grant: "Baseball pennants have been . won by a single player.. Some one individual .with that intan gible something called a 'win ning complex. The Detroit Ti gers won the pennant with such a player hv 1034. His name was Leon 'Goose Goslin. . . 4 ; ETHAN GRANT :- "When late in 1933 Catcher Mickey Cochrane was purchased from the Philadelphia Athletics to'manage the Tigers, baseball experts felt that Tiger Owner Frank Navin had been robbed. No play er without experience as a manager, they said, could possibly be worth the $100,000 Cochrane had cost him.' Mickey's First Move Drew Protests , . - "And Cochrane' first official act caused a sterol of pretest and criticism. He had traded Johnny Stone, a hard-hitting young out fielder, to the Washington Senators for the Goose, a veteran whoso best days were gone. The experts were wrong, of course.-Although the Tigers had ended the 1933 season in fifth place, Cochrane, with only the one change, Stone for Goslin, led them to two successive pennants and a World Series flag. The difference, Cochrane maintained and the ex perts afterward agreed, was Old Goose Goslin. - "The Tigers of 1933 constituted one of the youngest teams in : major league history, and Cochrane wisely reasoned they needed - only a spark plug or, as he called The Goose a player with a win ning complex. That Goslin had that complex, the youngsters dis- . covered in the 1934 season opener, in Chicago, After an exhibition game against the Reds en route home from spring training, they had left Goslin in a Ctncinati hospital with a broken nose. Burning Both With Fever and Fervor " "But on the eve -of the American league opener, he demanded his clothes and caught a train for Chicago. Arriving at the White Sox park just before game time, he demanded his place in the lineup. This despite his broken nose, a temperature of 103 and the protests of Doc Keene, the Tigers physician. j U ( ' " "Against Keene's advice, he was permitted to play. It was his bat that drove in the winning run. It was his spirit and determtna " tlon that winning complex' that inspired the youngsters, Rowe, Bridges, Auker, Greenberg, Gehringer, RogelL Walker, Fox and others who have long ago faded from the scene, to the 1934 and 1933 American league pennants. ' . "And it was again Goslin's bat that scored the winning run against the Cubs and gave the youngsters the 1935 World Series champion ship." .
