In collaboration with Mendocino’s Kelley House Museum, MendoFever will be publishing their “This Day in Mendocino History” Facebook posts. The Kelley House Museum works hard to document and curate Mendocino County’s rich history and can be visited in the seaside town of Mendocino.
On this day in Mendocino history…
June 21, 1933 – The Mendocino Fire Department baseball team won a twilight league game against the American Legion team by a score of 12 to 3. Nine errors were made by the Legion team against only 4 made by Mendocino, helping make the large score.
The newspaper reported that the league was attracting record crowds, and that the spirited games were the source of much amusement.
The Legion was first at bat and scored the first run. Mendocino also scored in the first inning when T. Andrae made the run. In the second inning, E. Andrae, Quaill, V. Radford, and A. J. Silva scored four runs. In the third inning, four errors were made by the Legion team, allowing Mendocino to score four more runs. Mendocino didn’t score again until the sixth inning when hits by M. Paoli, E. Andrae, A. J. Silva and H. Granskog made three more runs possible. Other Mendocino team members mentioned were: William Conkey, A. M. Silva, and C. Bishop.
