Pitcher's Thrills VINEGAR BEND MIZELL "Stank j'Congratulated Me" By VLNEGAR BEND MIZELL St. Louis Cardinals Tilt- big thing in my career came when I hit a home run one time. It happened in 1950 at Winston Salem. in Class B. It was the last tame of the Shaughnessy playoffs and we won it. They took up a collection and 1 got $220. I had a couple of nights where I struck out 18 in the minors but the way 1 hit and the way they kid me as a batter, that home run j 1 hit was tops with me. My first win in the major leagues a year ago last May was a big thrill. I beat the Phillies, 3-2. I had pretty good stull that day. I allowed four hits and Connie Ryan got two of them, a homel and a single. He hit me pretty good all year. 1 remember the top of the ninth. We were tied at 2-2. I walked a man and they had run ners on first and second with two out. Eddie Stanky was playing that day and he came over and said: "Kid, get this man and you got a win." It was Ryan and I got him oift.! In the last of the ninth Peanuts Lowrey singled home Solly Hemus and I got my first win. Eddie came over and congratu lated me. It was the only time he congratulated me on anything. I don't expect a manager to con gratulate me every time I win but I remember how happy Eddie was to see me break the ice. I had lost my first two starts. Winning in the majors is great ?very time but I can't help hut feel my big kick came when I hit my first home run in baseball.
