Rd 6 - League 1 Draft - COMPLETED Topic


Henry Emmett "Heinie" Manush


The Washington Senators lost the 1933 World Series to the New York Giants, four games to one. Manush had only two hits and two walks, though he also scored two runs, in 20 plate appearances during the 1933 World Series. In Game 4, Manush was ejected by umpire Charlie Moran after arguing Moran's calling Manush out on a close play at first base. The Senators lost the game in the 11th inning, and the ejection of Manush was bitterly denounced by the Senators after the loss. After the game, baseball commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis opined that Manush should not have been ejected and ruled that Manush would be permitted to play the next day. Manush confessed 31 years later to his actual conduct on that day. He recalled beating out the throw at first, which would have been a turning point in the game with Goose Goslin already on second base. Manush was so angry at the call that he had pulled on Moran's rubber bow tie:

"I didn't lay a hand on Moran, but I did grab that bow tie and pulled it two feet away from his neck and then I let it snap right back into his gullet. ... Even before he could recover his breath his thumb went up and I was out."

Pedro is at the airport going through security. He's up in both drafts - it might be a little while before he picks.

Like I needed another reason to dislike TSA.

Pedro's draft acumen is a dangerous weapon. He may be detained.

I hope he tried to hide it in a bottle with more than 3.2 mL in it and gets it confiscated. It might be our best collective hope.

Update: after PedroCerrano’s extensive TSA strip search resulting from concerns of Jobu being concealed in his luggage, he had limited time to load the plane. He’s on the runway, and expects in 30 minutes, after liftoff, he’ll be able to open his PC and access WiFi.

One of the funniest WIS threads I've ever read.

Is very bad to steal Jobu's rum.
