    On November 25 in Baseball History...


    1930 - Giants first baseman Bill Terry (.401, 14, 117) is selected by the Sporting News as the NL Most Valuable Player and Senator shortstop Joe Cronin (.346, 13, 126) receives the honor for the American League.

    1941 - Replacing Roger Peckinpaugh, who is moved up to the front office, Lou Boudreau, with only three years of major league experience, is named as the Indians' new manager. The 24-year old shortstop is the youngest skipper of this century, but is a year older than Jim McCormick, a right-handed pitcher who managed the Cleveland Blues in 1879 at the age of 23.

    1944 - Kenesaw Mountain Landis, baseball's first commissioner, dies of a heart attack at age 78 in Chicago. Landis had ruled over baseball since November 1920 in the wake of the Black Sox scandal, and wielded authority perhaps unparalleled in any other industry. Landis had entered the hospital on October 2. He will be named to the Hall of Fame on December 9 by a special committee that he formed on August 4.

    1949 - Ted Williams, who lost the Triple Crown when his batting average was.0002 below that of George Kell, wins the Most Valuable Player vote in a landslide. Phil Rizzuto and Joe Page finish second and third in the voting.

    1966 - Cincinnati infielder Tommy Helms is voted National League Rookie of the Year.

    1969 - Kansas City outfielder Lou Piniella is voted American League Rookie of the Year.

    1970 - Thurman Munson is named American League Rookie of the Year. The young Yankee backstop receives twenty-three of the twenty-four first place ballot votes cast with Indian outfielder Roy Foster being named on the other.  Munson batted .302 in 132 games.

    1972 - Pirates outfielder Roberto Clemente wins his 12th straight Gold Glove, and Dodgers first baseman Wes Parker captures his sixth Gold Glove in a row. Neither will play in 1973.

    1974 - Mike Hargrove of the Rangers takes American League Rookie of the Year honors.

    1980 - Gene Michael becomes the 25th Yankee manager replacing Dick Howser, who led New York to a first-place finish in the American League East compiling a 103-59 record. 'Stick' will guide the Bronx Bombers to the American League pennant during his first two seasons with the team.

    1981 - Rollie Fingers becomes the first relief pitcher ever to win the American League Most Valuable Player Award, edging Oakland's Rickey Henderson, 319-308.

    1985 - White Sox shortstop Ozzie Guillen, who hit .273 with just 12 errors in 150 games, is named American League Rookie of the Year. Milwaukee lefty Teddy Higuera finishes second.


    1986 - Jose Canseco wins the American League's Rookie of the Year Award. The Cuban-American is the first A's player to win the honor since Harry Byrd accomplished the feat for Kansas City in 1952.

    2002 - The Red Sox hire the youngest general manager in major league history. Twenty-eight year old Theo Epstein, a life-time Red Sox fan who grew up about a mile from Fenway Park, becomes the team's 11th GM since the club first established the position in 1933.

    2003 - The Cubs trade first baseman Hee Seop Choi (.210, 10, 32) and a minor league player to be named later to the World Champion Marlins in exchange for Gold Glove first baseman Derrek Lee (.271, 31, 92).

    2004 - After spending $67 million to acquire its former president’s shares of the Mariners, the Nintendo's U.S. subsidiary now owns more than 50 percent of the Northwest franchise. Due to the presence of Japanese superstar Ichiro Suzuki, Seattle is one of the favorite U.S. major league teams in the Land of the Rising Sun.

    2005 - The Phillies trade Jim Thome (.207, 7, 30) to the World Champion White Sox for center fielder Aaron Rowand (.270, 13, 69) and a pair of southpaw pitching prospects, Daniel Haigwood and Giovany Gonzalez. The 35-year old injury-ridden first baseman completed three seasons of his six-year $85 million deal with Philadelphia helping the franchise to establish creditability when the team moved to a new ballpark in 2004.

    2008 - Chase Utley is expected to need four to six months to recover from arthroscopic hip surgery performed today at New York's Hospital for Special Surgery. The All-Star Phillies second baseman despite battling the injury for much of the year played a pivotal role in the team's World championship this season.

    2008 - The Marlins will endure a one-year delay in building their 37,000-seat, retractable-roof stadium, now set to open in 2012. Club president David Samson cites recent litigation slowed down the start of construction, and now it would not be cost-effective to keep to the original timeline.

    2009 - Citing his age and the lack of stamina needed to do the job well, legendary Yankee public address announcer Bob Sheppard indicates he will not be returning to the Bronx to do any games. The 99-year old 'Voice of Yankee Stadium' spent more than 50 seasons behind the microphone introducing lineups which have included Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, and Derek Jeter.

    2014 - Not having learned from their miscue four years ago in signing a Washington National left hand hitting first baseman to become their designated hitter, the Chicago White Sox repeat the mistake by signing free agent Adam LaRoche to a two year/$25 million deal.

    2015 - The Chicago White Sox signed Alex Avila as a free agent.
