Thornhill Blue Sox (AAA) 07-01-1961 Home Page

Breaking News Saturday, July 1st, 1961: MCL's Premier Batter Picked Today Thornhill's Phil Taylor was named Macdonald League Batter of the Month for June. He slammed opposing pitching hard all month long, bashing out 39 hits in 100 at-bats. With a .390 batting average, 6 home runs, 17 RBIs and 23 runs scored, he was a solid choice. This year Taylor is hitting .319, produced 32 RBIs and 8 home runs, scored 38 times and gotten on base at a .392 rate. Sunday, June 25th, 1961: Estes Expresses Desire to Leave Blue Sox? The Blue Sox may be close to working out a deal to trade Bobby Estes. That's the latest news from the rumor mill. Estes, the 33-year-old catcher, has said privately that he will not balk at a trade to another team. Thursday, June 15th, 1961: Washington Struts Stuff in Thornhill Win "That's one thing that has never changed in this game -- pitching can control hitting," the Celts manager told reporters after today's game. The Blue Sox ran into a buzzsaw as Phil Washington cut them down to size 6-0 with a 2-hit shutout. His skipper added, "He knows exactly what he's doing. He's not going to throw you a good pitch until you make him throw one." In the complete game whitewash the Uxbridge hurler doled out 2 walks and registered 6 strikeouts. In the postgame press conference his catcher said, "Phil goes out there and just goes about his business. I don't think he gets too concerned about what's going on. You can call any pitch and you know where he's going to be." Washington also got some praise from the Thornhill manager. "He really kept us in check today. Everything looked to be moving. Seemed like the pitch was right down the middle and it went over down and away... we took some pathetic swings." In 17 starts this season, Washington has recorded 7 wins and absorbed 5 losses. He has pitched 113 innings, allowed 119 hits, struck out 75 and has a 3.90 ERA. Team Leaders AVG R. Murray .252 2 G. Maestas THO .231                   Team Leaders HR R. Murray 10 2 P.
