Individually Feller had 10 in 1946 and Lemon 10 in 1948

The Chicago Cubs hold the record for the most shutouts achieved in a single season with 32 in 1906 and again 1908

That's the limit of my research. The answer is probably out there somewhere other than just counting them up. I would guess its in the Indians yearbook. I guess I have some of those upstairs. Maybe I'll take a look.

Don't go farther back than 1948.

record is 27 in 1906, the same year that the major league record was set. Must have been pre-steroid era. In 1965 we shutouit the Washington Senators 8 times (I think that may have been their first season as an expansion team; I had their team in my APBA league and they were pretty woeful)

If that was an AL expansion franchise, 1961 would have been the first year. I guess the originals had shuffled off to the Twin Cities.

I'm not watching or listening but I just read, "T Hunter out stretching at second." Stretching?!?

T. Hunter: Base hit to left, should have stayed at first ... he forgot it was Brantley out there. Michael adds to his league-leading outfield assist total.

Tribe up 1-0 on Giambi single scoring Brantley who had stolen 2nd base.

So he tried to stretch a single into a double. I thought he maybe was limbering up at 2nd, and got thrown out. Not really, but I never heard it described that way! Thanks, VT'ER.

Oh My!!

Tough,tough loss,

I was bemoaning bringing Perez in who had pitched too much for a closer in the last 7 games when my wife said...that is his job, he is paid to do that. Total pitches for the year is not that much for the payoff.

I guess Francona agrees with her. But I still would work someone else into the closer role.

I agree with that. That was pretty depressing.

Another thing I said to my wife as we batted in the bottom of the 8th. That crafty Leyland is changing pitchers so often and throwing over to first with a slow runner he is either "icing" Perez or tiring him out. He probably realized how much he had been used. If I am correct it underscores what I have said for a long time...Leyland is very crafty.
