Birthday Replay - Ted Williams

I'm a day late with this, but Ted Williams was born on August 30, 1918 and here's a replay of an August 30, 1949 Red Sox game at Detroit.

Boston   5  10  2
Detroit  4   9  0

Ted's day:

1st inning - 2 run homer

3rd inning - hit by pitch, forced out at second

4th inning - walk, stranded on first

7th inning - flied out

9th inning - singled, picked off at first by pitcher

Despite 19 hits, 13 walks, 2 hit batters, and 2 errors, there were no double plays in this game.

The game ended when Boston's catcher Birdie Tebbets picked off Detroit's Don Kolloway at third base. Kolloway represented the potential tying run.  

As noted above, Ted Williams was picked off in the top half of the inning, so this was the second successful pick off in this game.
