Complete entry for November 30 is at BaseballLibrary.com is HERE.

Highlighted entries:

1958
Italian baseball commissioner Prince Borghese visits the U.S. to seek aid in organizing Italian teams.

Was his first name Prince or was he really a prince? A quick google search turns up this possibly related, possibly not related, individual.

1948
Player-manager
Lou Boudreau is selected the AL MVP. Boudreau had almost been traded to the Browns earlier in the year, but protests by fans kept Lou in Cleveland. After the WS win, owner Bill Veeck commented, "Sometimes the best trades are the ones you never make."
I wonder if anyone will ever use that quote again.
