Re: September pick-ups
VERY excited about this bat...
1958 - Frank Malzone - All Star Game Bat... Malzone, who played 11 years with the Red Sox and one with the Angels, won the very first gold glove award ever in 1957... he then won in 1958, and 1959, and he most likely would have won more if not for a kid named Brooks took over the award and won the next 16 straight.

The 1958 All Star game was the first in Baltimore, and only 4 years after getting a Major League team back in the city... Despite featuring names such as Mantle, Aaron, Banks, Mathews, Williams, Mays, Kaline, and Musial, this was the first All-Star Game to pass without an extra-base hit. The American League had scored in the second on a RBI single by Nelson Fox, cutting the National League lead to 3-2. With the game tied in the bottom of the sixth, Malzone singled... advanced on an error by Pirates third baseman Frank Thomas and then scored the winning run on a single by the Yankees Gil McDougald.
