1971 Pittsburgh Pirates vs St. Louis Cardinals - Bob Gibson - Radio Broadcast / On August 14, 1971, the St. Louis Cardinals took on the Pittsburgh Pirates at Three Rivers Stadium. The Cardinals, managed by Red Schoendienst, were looking to improve their standing in the National League East, while the Pirates, managed by Danny Murtaugh, were leading the division and having a strong season. Bob Gibson, a seasoned and dominant pitcher, started for the Cardinals, and Bob Johnson took the mound for the Pirates. This game was crucial for the Cardinals as they aimed to close the gap in the standings, whereas the Pirates were focused on solidifying their lead.
The Cardinals came out strong right from the start, scoring five runs in the first inning, highlighted by a three-run home run from Joe Hague. Gibson delivered a masterful performance on the mound, keeping the Pirates' hitters off balance and preventing any runs. The Cardinals continued to pile on the runs, with additional contributions from Ted Simmons, who had four hits, and Joe Torre, who also had a four-hit game. By the fifth inning, the Cardinals had extended their lead to 8-0, and they never looked back, adding three more runs in the eighth inning to seal a commanding lead.
The game ended with a resounding 11-0 victory for the Cardinals, with Gibson throwing a no-hitter, walking three, and striking out ten. This victory was a significant boost for the Cardinals in their bid to climb the standings, while the Pirates remained on top of the National League East. The Pirates went on to win the division and eventually the World Series, showcasing their resilience and talent throughout the season.

/ Who's Who in Major League Baseball is a statistician's dream because it featured the major and minor league statistics of the major league players for that particular year.
This annual publication was available through the mail and at most major league stadiums. Its decline in popularity is said to be a result of the competition from team yearbooks.
Who's Who covers generally contain photos of the top four stars of the previous year. Each edition featured photos and sketches of sports team top twenty players. A world champion photo usually appeared on the back cover of Who's Who in Major League Baseball while the other league champions appeared on the front cover.

/ The 1942 edition was devoted entirely to major league playing records as compiled by Leonard Gettelson. ONE FOR THE BOOK, which was first published in 1949, was a continuation of the 1942 Dope Book.
There was at least one "Al Schracht Dope Book" Published by Sporting News in 1944. This edition consisted of dozens of colorful short news snippets with cartoon illustrations, followed by statistics and writeups of current Hall of Famers and past World Series'.
The Dope Book from 1948 thru 1985 was of an entirely different format. It featured a wide spectrum of articles and statistics. Several features, such as Club Rosters and All Star Game Records, were carried yearly for many years.
