As everyone reading this knows, Calvin Griffith was the long-time owner of the Minnesota Twins. He had served in a variety of positions for the Washington Senators, including batboy, minor league player-manager, and working in the front office. His managing career lasted from 1937-1941. He also played for Class B Charlotte from 1939-1941. No records of his playing career are available from 1939-1940, but in 1941 he got a hit in his only at-bat.
We would also like to wish a happy birthday to SBG’s father, Butch.
December 1, Christmas Spirit
