In the Negro Leagues, there were no can’t miss choices — no Satchel Paige in his prime or young Josh Beckett. But there were probably a dozen options for whom there would been solid reasoning to support the idea that he could been an answer.

Joe Black was one. Black, 26, was having a great season, started in the Leagues’ annual all-star ge (not his first appearance, either). The Dodgers signed him in late 1950 and eventually used him as a very successful reliever.

Another, perhaps more logical choice would have been Pat Scantlebury, a 33 year old who’d also pitched in the all-star ge, and had in previous years. He got to the majors at age 39 and at age 43, was good enough to been a league-killer at AAA. And there was 27-year old Connie Johnson, also having a great year, and other pitchers who would go on the have minor league careers.12 string guitar string

The Tigers didn’t try to grab any of them. On August 29th, they fell into a tie for first, still did nothing, had a half-ge lead as late as ge 141, but finished the season with a 7-9 run, four of those losses being blowouts the pitching couldn’t hold on to, and lost the flag by 3 ges with a beautiful 95-59 mark. Rolfe was ned Manager of the Year, a bitter substitute for winning.

A Cinderella season euthanized by self-inflicted limitations. A tragedy of Sophoclean proportions, because it was completely avoidable if the front office behaves like a normal front office — going the distance to acquire available talent to fill a glaring, obvious hole. A tragedy because Rolfe would never get a chance to show his stuff again, never get to manage a contender or for a different franchise that didn’t have such brain-dead ownership.
