    1930 World Series

    • George Earnshaw was from a wealthy New York family, but was not known to be Jewish. There’s not enough about him on the Internet to know if he had Jewish blood or not, but I suspect he did.

    • For one thing, he started late – he signed with Connie Mack’s Philadelphia Athletics at the age of 28 (a multiple of 7) and ended early, in 1936 at the age of 36. Here’s what it says about him on the SABR (Society for American Baseball Research) website:

    • Earnshaw contributed a 7-7 record and better-than-average 3.81 ERA in 22 starts, but walked 100 batters in 158 innings. As he remembered it, he was so wild he never got past the seventh inning in his early outings.

    • He credited catcher Cochrane's tough-love pep talk for turning his season around. He won his first game in his seventh appearance, a 5-0 three-hitter over Boston, and later pitched another three-hit shutout against the St. Louis Browns.”



    George Earnshaw

    • George Earnshaw was the star for the Mackmen in the Shemitah year World Series of 1930. He pitched brilliantly in three starts, winning two over the NL Champion St. Louis Cardinals.

    • The 1930 World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals marked the pinnacle of Earnshaw's career. He pitched 22 consecutive scoreless innings. He won the second game, 6-1, giving up only a second-inning homer to George Watkins, then pitched seven shutout innings in Game Five before he was lifted for a pinch-hitter in a scoreless tie.

    • Grove relieved him and got the victory when Jimmie Foxx delivered on his promise to "bust up the game right now" with a ninth-inning homer.

    • “Earnshaw came back on one day's rest to win the deciding sixth game, surrendering just a ninth-inning run. In 25 innings he gave up two runs on 13 hits, and struck out 19.

    • An NBC radio microphone, in the Athletics clubhouse for the first broadcast of a victory celebration, picked up Earnshaw's teammates shouting "Iron Man" when he was introduced. The losing manager, Gabby Street, said, "It was just a case of too much Earnshaw."

    • Hall of Famer Burleigh Grimes, who pitched against Earnshaw in the Series, said years later, "We'd heard about Grove, how hard he could throw. But I'll tell you, the guy we thought threw the hardest was Earnshaw."

    • His World Series ERA was a stifling 0.72.

    • In the Shemitah season of 1931, he won 21 and lost 7. He finished his career with a total of 127 wins.

    • There IS evidence that there are Jewish people named Earnshaw:

    • Congregation Beth Torah in Overland, Kansas, had a meals-on-wheels event to feed the hungry. Among the people thanked is one “Jessica Earnshaw”

    • Phil Weintaub played in 7 seasons all together – that’s SEVEN – including for the Phillies in the Shemitah year of 1938.

    • After playing a number of games for the New York Giants and Cincinnati Reds in left field – that’s position 7 – he played only at first base for the Phillies.

    • In 1938, he had one of the best seasons of his career – batting .311 with 4 HR’s and 45 RBI’s in 100 games.

    • Very oddly, his OBP and his SP were exactly the same – both at .422.

    • He didn’t play in the Majors again until 1944 (the end of which was a Shemitah) and he retired before the end of the 1945 season, before the Shemitah ended. He was 37 in his last game.
