Astros Feature
’40’s Stars
A pitching staff of Howie Pol-
let, Harry Gumbert, Red Munger,
Red Murff and John Berly will
pitch to the Mancuso brothers,
Gus and Frank, and Hal Smith
for the Houston Oldtimers in the
second annual Oldtimers game
Aug. 20 in the Astrodome.
The former American and Na
tional league stars now living in
Houston will play the Stars of
the Forties in a game of “re
member when” prior to the game
at 7:30 between the Houston As
tros and the Cincinnati Reds.
There are plenty of good seats
available for this game.
Pollet, now a successful insur
ance man, was one of the all-
time great lefthanders on the St.
Louis Cardinals. He also played
for the Pittsburgh Pirates and
Chicago Cubs during his major
league career from 1941-56 and
posted a 131-116 major league
career record. He helped the
Cardinals to win the 1946 pen
nant and World Series, winning
21 games, and posted an earned
run average of 2.10, both top
marks for the league that year.
Pollet pitched for the Houston
Buffs in 1939, 1940 and 1941,
winning 12 straight games in
1940, and a no-hitter in 1941.
Gumbert pitched for the New
York Giants, St. Louis Cardinals,
Cincinnati Reds and Pittsburgh
Pirates in a 15-year major league
career. He had a 143-113 career
record and pitched in 507 games,
2,156 innings. Gumbert led
the National League in games
pitched in 1948, with 61, and he
pitched in six W o r 1 d Series
games, with the New York
Giants in 1936 and 1937, and
with the St. Louis Cardinals in
1942.
Munger, who is a native Hous
tonian, played professional base
ball from 1937 through 1951, in
cluding the last eight years with
the St. Louis Cardinals. He
missed all of 1945 and 1946 sea
sons due to military service. He
had a 74-48 major league record.
Murff, now a scout for the
New York Mets, pitched six
years of minor league ball, 1950
through 1955, including three
years with Dallas in the Texas
League. He was with the Mil
waukee Braves for the 1956 and
1957 seasons in a total of 26
games before retiring.
Berly, a successful insurance
man in Houston, pitched in the
majors in 1924 with the St. Louis
Cardinals, then again in 1931
with the New York Giants and
finished his major league career
in 1932 and 1933 with the Phila
delphia Phillies, appearing in 65
big league games with a 10-13
career record.
Gus Mancuso had 18 seasons
in the majors, catching 1,460
games with the St. Louis Cardi
nals, New York Giants, Chicago
Cubs, Brooklyn Dodgers and the
Philadelphia Phils. He had a
lifetime batting average of .265,
and caught many of the game’s
great pitchers. He batted .298
or better in four seasons, includ
ing .366 in 76 games in 1930 and
.348 in 52 games in 1938.
Frank Mancuso, a Houston city
councilman, played four seasons
in the majors with the St. Louis
Browns and the Washington Sen
ators, batting .241 in 337 games.
Hal Smith, who had nine sea
sons in the majors, was consid
ered one of the best defensive
catchers in baseball in his years
with the Baltimore Orioles, Kan
sas City Athletics, Pittsburgh
Pirates and Houston Colt 45s.
Smith probably is best remem
bered for his dramatic home run
for the Pirates in the 1960 World
Series to put the Pirates in the
9-7 eighth inning lead in the
game in which Bill Mazeroski hit
the series-winning homer.
