OldTimer’s Dugout - General Topics, Chat, Random Photos and Memes.......No Politics

Currently relaxing on a Saturday night on the couch while watching my UW Huskies play Southern California Trojans in an entertaining men’s college basketball game.

I’m feeling optimistic the Huskies upset the Trojans in Los Angeles tonight mostly because they’re bound to break through for 1 signature win because they have no desire to just continue to have the moral victory of losing a close game to a favored team that has a PAC 12 winning record.

On February 5 in Baseball History...
  • 1919 - N.L. president John Heydler dismisses charges brought in 1918 by Reds owner Garry Herrmann and manager Christy Mathewson against Hal Chase for betting against his team and throwing games in collusion with gamblers. Two weeks later, Giants manager John McGraw trades first baseman Walter Holke and catcher Bill Rariden to the Reds for Chase.

  • 1942 - The Braves get Tommy Holmes from the Yankees for Buddy Hassett and Gene Moorein one of the best trades in Braves history. Hassett will hit .284, then join the Navy and never make it back to the major leagues. The much-traveled Moore will never play for the Yanks. Holmes couldn't break into New York's all-star outfield, but he will be a .302 career hitter and help the Braves win the 1948 pennant.

  • 1956 - New York City Mayor Robert Wagner and Brooklyn Borough President Frank Cashmore sponsor a bill to create a Brooklyn Sports Center Authority, which will propose building a $30 million downtown sports center.

The great Volunteers rebounded to defeat the Tigers in Rocky Top, my Bulls improved to 25-27 after defeating the Trail Blazers which are 2 factual reasons I’m a lot less unhappy that my UW Huskies got outplayed by the USC Trojans in what was a dramatic close highly entertaining game with more than 6 lead changes.
