Just once, I would like to see a manager wear a suit on the bench, instead of a uniform.Connie Mack retires after an amazing 50 years as the manager of the Philadelphia Athletics. Jimmy Dykes replaces him. Mack maintains his position as president of the club.

Four days after the finish of the World Series, the two teams meet again in Chicago for an exhibition game (as noted by historian Al Kermisch). The game outdraws the last series game in Detroit, as 6,864 watch the Tigers win, 7–2. In a pregame field day, Ty Cobb wins all three sprint events: he bunts and runs to 1B in 3.2 seconds, beating Evers, Mordecai Brown, and Del Howard. He circles the bases in 13.8 seconds and, clad in uniform, wins the 100-yard dash in 10.4 seconds, beating Jones and Solly Hofman in the latter. Hofman wins the long throw with a toss of 338 feet, besting Sam Crawford.
Remember when the teams that made the post-season in baseball faced each other on The Superteams on ABC? The outrigger race and the tug-of-war were my favorite events to watch. Could you picture Cobb running the obstacle course? I still can't believe they let the tie stand between the Kansas City Royals and the Dallas Cowboys in 1978.
