1950 Claxton Shield
The 1950 Claxton Shield was the 11th annual Claxton Shield; it was held in Sydney, New South Wales. The participants were South Australia, New South Wales, Victoria, Western Australia and Queensland. The series was won by New South Wales, their fifth Shield title. The quality of the competition received a lift as many American servicemen married and settled down in Australia. The Australian Baseball Council was criticised by the New South Wales board for not allowing two interstate players from competing in the Shield, one of which being Graeme Hole (test cricketer) from South Australia and the other being Queensland state cricketer Alan Smith. Both were top-ranking pitchers, but were knocked back due to them not having their six-month residential qualifications. Queensland secured its first Claxton Shield win on 30 July when they defeated Western Australia 2–1 in a 15-inning game played. At that time, it was the longest Shield game in history and was played in front of 10,000 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Claxton Shield
The Claxton Shield was the name of the premier baseball competition in Australia held between state-based teams, as well as the name of the trophy awarded to the champion team. From the summer of 1989–90 until 2001–02, and again since 2010–11, the tournament was replaced by one of three other competitions: the original Australian Baseball League (ABL), the International Baseball League of Australia (IBLA), and since the 2010–11 season the new ABL. Despite other competitions being held in place of the Claxton Shield, the physical trophy has remained the award for the winning teams. Though city-based teams have competed for the Claxton Shield in some seasons, the name engraved on the shield is that of the winning state; for the 2010–11 ABL season won by the Perth Heat, "West Australia 2011" was engraved. The Victoria Aces were the last team to win the shield under the Claxton Shield format, having won the 2010 tournament by defeating South Australia two games to nil i ...

Graeme Hole
Graeme Blake Hole (6 January 1931 – 14 February 1990) was an Australian cricketer who played 18 Test matches between 1951 and 1955. Career A right-handed middle-order batsman and off-spinner, Hole played 98 first-class matches between 1949–50 and 1957–58. He made his first-class debut for New South Wales at the age of 19. During this match, he didn't do very well in batting, but he made up for this during his bowling. He then moved to South Australia and started playing for them. His debut in international cricket came when he was selected for the Australian team against England in February 1951. Before he made his international cricket debut, Hole played baseball in the off-season in the local New South Wales competition, before moving to South Australia in 1950 where he would be invited to play for the South Australia state baseball team in the 1950 Claxton Shield. However, he was ultimately declined by the Australian Baseball Council to play as he did not meet a six-m ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pitcher
In baseball, the pitcher is the player who throws ("pitches") the baseball from the pitcher's mound toward the catcher to begin each play, with the goal of retiring a batter, who attempts to either make contact with the pitched ball or draw a walk. In the numbering system used to record defensive plays, the pitcher is assigned the number 1. The pitcher is often considered the most important player on the defensive side of the game, and as such is situated at the right end of the defensive spectrum. There are many different types of pitchers, such as the starting pitcher, relief pitcher, middle reliever, lefty specialist, setup man, and the closer. Traditionally, the pitcher also bats. Starting in 1973 with the American League(and later the National League) and spreading to further leagues throughout the 1980s and 1990s, the hitting duties of the pitcher have generally been given over to the position of designated hitter, a cause of some controversy.

1950 In Australian Sport
Year 195 (Roman numerals, CXCV) was a common year starting on Wednesday (link will display the full calendar) of the Julian calendar. At the time, it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Scrapula and Clemens (or, less frequently, year 948 ''Ab urbe condita'').
