Westbrook grabs distinction as ‘Wild Thing’

GameSetMatch — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 20:22:39 +0000

By throwing four wild pitches Monday, Jake Westbrook tied a Indians franchise record that had been done three times before.

Sam McDowell was the first to do it, in 1961. He did it again three years later, and Steve Hargan heaved four wild pitches in 1965.

GIVING THANKS — Nothing wrong with starting the season by being thankful.

”I’m thankful I’m alive and for everything I have,” Indians manager Manny Acta said. ”I’m lucky to have the chance to win or lose a major-league game. I could be managing in an independent league.”

IT’S BEEN A WHILE — This is the 70th anniversary of the only Opening Day no-hitter in history.

Bob Feller achieved the feat on April 16, 1940, against the Chicago White Sox. Feller, now 91, attended Monday’s game and will be honored at a lunch today in downtown Chicago. Feller’s sister, Marguerite, who lives in metro Chicago and watched her borther’s no-hitter, also will be at today’s lunch.

Cleveland’s Choo proves to have 20-20 vision

Choo Shin-soo of the Cleveland Indians reached the 20-20 mark (20 homers, 20 steals) in his second to last regular season game yesterday. Although 11 other batters achieved the feat this year, Choo became the first Asian in MLB history to do so.

Facing the Boston Red Sox at the Fenway Park in Boston, Choo hit a two-run home run in the top of the seventh inning. Trailing 10-4 and with Asdrubal Cabrera on first and no outs, Choo took an outside fastball from Paul Byrd and hit it over the “Green Monster.”

The right fielder had hit his 19th home run of the season five days earlier on Sept. 29 against the Chicago White Sox. Choo has 21 stolen bases in the season. The 27-year-old has now reached the 20-20 mark in his first full season with the Indians. He earned two hits in four at-bats to raise his season batting average to .300 and three RBI raises his season total to 86 for the season. He currently leads the team in RBI.

The Busan native signed a one year extension during the offseason and is expected to sign an extension with the Indians after the season.
