Donora

As an all-around player, perhaps DiMaggio topped him, certainly topped him in the hitting department, but last year I felt that Moore could go as far as even the great DiMaggio or any man I ever saw, including Speaker, in center field.

Of course, in right field we have Stan Musial, a boy from Donora, Pennsylvania, who got most of his playing start down in Daytona Beach, Florida, yet the great hitter of the National League who has batted .357 this year.

He takes the place of Vino's country's slaughter.

Danny Litwiler is in left field for the Cardinals, an old filly, and at first base for the Yankees is Nick Eppin, also a former member of the Phillies.

Stan Musial is here, the vice president of the Cardinals, just dropped in.

And, of course, his hometown of Donora.

This is, without doubt, a very big ball game for the Buccos, as they all are for both clubs that are in contention.

Perhaps I should say the three clubs, because you cannot rule Philadelphia out of the pack.

Bill Snyder defensively in center field.

In right field, Stan the Man Musial, the Duke of Donora.

A knuckleball swung on, hit foul off the first baseline.

Brzezinski gloves it and fires it right back to the mound to pitcher Roberts.

Sixty years later, the incident was described by the New York Times as one of the worst air pollution disasters in the nation's history.

Even 10 years after the incident, mortality rates in Donora were significantly higher than those in other communities nearby.

But let's dig into this a little bit.

This is an interesting case, and it all happened around Halloween, which adds a certain spookiness to it, but it really isn't supernatural at all.

The pollutants in the air mix with the fog to form a thick, yellowish, acrid smog that hung down over Dinor for five days.

The sulfuric acid, nitrogen oxide, fluorine, and other poisonous gases that usually dispersed into the atmosphere were caught in the inversion and accumulated until rain ended the weather pattern.

The fog started building up in Donora on Wednesday, October 27, 1948.

The following day, it was causing coughing and other signs of respiratory distress.

Hobos are covered in shit.

Comes from horse vagina and then flows up through like Donora and the place where all these people are making the, I don't think it's Somalis.

It's some other, I don't think it's Haitians.

There's some black country that has overrun one of these small Monongahela River towns outside of Pittsburgh.

know what you're doing here, don't you?

From meeting a few of the littles, including Kool-Aid Claire and Dina from near Donora, to having Syracuse Mets GM Jason Smorrell sit down to chat in the stands.

It was a great night.

I'm better from making the trip and enjoying the game.

Stay on the land.

The pride and joy of Donora, Pennsylvania.

One out and nobody on in the eighth.

National League leading 5-1.
