Oklahomans in the World Series
Oklahoma History Center
October 7, 2010 at 7pm
 
Mark your calendars for a special program with Fritz Buckallew, Carl Hubbell biographer, at the Oklahoma History Center.  This special programming is hosted by the museum and 46 Starr Press on Thursday October 7, 2010.  Admission is Free.  The museum will open at 6:00 PM and the program will begin at 7:00 PM
 
This program will look at a number of Oklahoma's major league players and focus on Carl Hubbell and his World Series record.   Hubbell made World Series appearances in 1933, 1936, and 1937 and won MVP in 1936 and 1937.  Hubbell found his way onto the All Star Team nine times before his induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1947.
Carl Hubbell 
Yearly reporters asked him about his legendary moment at the 1934 All-Star Game. He had scored five consecutive strikeouts there: a feat for the ages, considering that all five of the batters he bested were to become among the brightest figures in baseball's Hall of Fame. Lou Gehrig, Joe Cronin, Al Simmons, Jimmie Foxx, and Babe Ruth all failed to master Hub's baffling screwball while the crowd was hushed in disbelief.

Biographer Fritz Buckallew will be available to sign copies of his book, A Pitcher's Moment Carl Hubbell And the Quest for Baseball Immortality. The book chronicles Carl Hubbell's rise from an Oklahoma village through fifteen years of major league pitching excellence.  The book also looks at his influence beyond that as a top executive with his Giants (in New York and San Francisco). It's a compelling tale of a pitcher who became much more than a baseball player.
