I searched for this last year, I spent 5 hours trying to find it, and it was nowhere! Dad had a tech over because of computer issues and for some reason he mentioned that we couldn't find this particular episode. the tech did a search and this came up!!!! Dad called me right away, and I looked it up. I'm so glad this is available now, my mom was in tears seeing him at that age (they have been together since age 14 and just celebrated 63 years of marriage two days ago). Thank you!!
George Sisler may be underrated today because he was the preeminent player for the St. Louis Browns, a team that no longer exists under that name (their direct descendants are the Baltimore Orioles). When Ichiro Suzuki finally broke his single-season hit record in the 21st century, many fans were scratching their heads wondering who he was.
I personally believe he was the best first baseman of all time. He obviously could hit for high average. He had line drive power: lots of doubles and triples and a fair amount of home runs. And he was one of the best fielding first basemen ever with acrobatic skill in reaching bad throws. He was under 6 feet tall so he had to have great leaping skills. He also might have gotten more recognition if he hadn't missed an entire season with an illness that adversely affected his eyesight for the remainder of his career. That meant his average dropped to the low three hundreds. He hit over four hundred twice before the problem occurred.
I dreamed of working for the state treasury office. I went to Buckeye Girls State and heard Mary Ellen speak. I wrote her a letter and while I was in the hospital having surgery, she called for me at home and then the hospital. She invited me to have lunch with her one day. She even said after college I could possibly have an internship there. I wasn’t able to do either. Lunch I couldn’t because of my father. Internship because by the time I could even attend college she became our United States Treasurer. It was an honor that she even called me.
George Sisler's 1922 season - during which he batted .420, hit safely in a then-record 41 consecutive games, led the American League in hits (246), stolen bases (51), triples (18), and was probably the best fielding first baseman in the game - is considered by many historians to be among the best individual all-around single-season performances in baseball history.
About George Sisler: From 1915-1922 (his first 8 seasons) his carer BA was a whopping .361. He had been suffering some kind of problem with his eyes, of all things, and after his phenomenal 1922 season, when he batted a staggering .420 (no American Leaguer since has caught up to that one, and only one player, Hornsby of the National League, has topped it thereafter), he sat out the entire 1923 season ( in that 1922 season he led the league in Batting, Runs Scored, Hits, Triples, and Stolen Bases). When he returned in 1924 he was never again the same hitter as before but still managed to bat a healthy .320 in the period 1924-1930, lowering his lifetime BA to a still impressive .340. In that era when some players weren't consciously chasing goals like 3,000 hits, Sisler racked up 2,812---with bad eyes! Yeah, he was one of the greats for sure.
Game #3: Midge is a real cutie, with a smile that can light up an entire town at midnight. I knew it was her, because it seemed so unlikely. They do that sometimes!
In spring training of 1961, George Sisler had Roberto Clemente switch to a heavier bat. That season, Clemente batted .351 and won the first of his four batting titles.
On the baseball father and son segment it's strange that the father of #3 was totally stumped on the 2 questions that were asked of him yet they got more votes than the other two.
Tom Poston has now officially become the male version of Polly Bergen. He worked very hard to earn that. George Sisler was one of the greatest players in baseball history. His son also had a respectable career as an MLB pitcher. Thanks for the video.

Sometime you can figure out who the right person is, just by listening to how they say their name. In game 1, the first lady could barely get it out, and the second lady was a little too precise. I was pretty sure it was #3. She was more laid back and relaxed, when saying her name.
Before saying the name "Elizabeth Rudel Smith" I knew that it was #3. The way that she stood and the way that she carried herself to her seat, and the way that she poised herself as soon as she sat down, had the look of an executive in a government position.
I would have asked what is the first or longest homerun you have ever hit was, as well as the name of the ballpark and the pitcher, something any ballplayer could easily answer.
That was peculiar and not particularly sporting of Johnny Carson to refuse to vote in that first segment. I don’t know what that was all about; it seemed rather uncharacteristic of him but of course I didn’t know him. Overall, he just seemed like he was in a grumpy mood that night
I just watched this. What in the WORLD are you guys talking about? One person insinuated that Tom had a few drinks before coming on the show. Someone else said that he annoyed the crap of him today. Tom Posted did NOTHING that he doesn't normally do, I haven't a clue what you were even TALKING about! Johnny Carson, yes, I agree all those who he was sorehead on this episode (and worse yet, he did what he did for no reason WHATSOEVER)! But Tom Poston is the best male panelist ON this show!
I usually like Tom, but, for the second time recently, he annoyed the hell out of me! Hemming and hawing endlessly and acting like an idiot! And Johnny really showed poor sportsmanship in game 2.....
A S100000 dollar bill! Really!! I'll take two. Today, I think they we only have 100 doller bills. On Perry Mason they had 1000 doller bills but I've never seen one!!🎈🎈
My dad is Dave #1, he was 28 at the time (I was 7) and will be 83 in a few weeks. It is so fun to see this!
+Sandra P I'm so glad you found the video, Sandra! Did you show it to him?

It's kind of a shame that George Sisler isn't as well known or recognizable as he should be.

40 percent of the league was hitting 320 or better in that era, just stating facts

Peggy King reminded me of a very calm Peggy Cass but without Cass’ incredible knowledge of so many subjects.
Interesting- Peggy Cass did have incredible breadth of knowledge
Collectors of baseball cards have no trouble choosing #2. Easy.

His other son, Dick Sisler (1B, OF) had a better career than Dave Sisler (P).
Wow... Peggy King is still alive! She'll be 93 years old on February 16.

Saco in the house!!
I didn't think #1 was Treasury Secretary bc she hesitated saying the name after Elizabeth and before Rudell.
Same here.
I had never heard of Peggy King.

Venom101002, exactly! Thought the same thing.
I always worry that they might be tripping up a bit on purpose, though! 🙄
This is a strange edition of TTTT: Johnny is p.o.'d about something and Tom is "3 sheets to the wind"; either that he took an extra dose of Anacin.
Kitty's detective skills were stellar as usual, though
He's an ass.
@@ronniebishop2496 Tom Poston is the best male panelist they have, THANK YOU!
@@ronniebishop2496 Who ?
@@kristabrewer9363 Trying not to be tacky, but Tom is a Jagoff . Go Phillies!
Anacin also fought depression as well as headaches? How about that!?
I thought the same thing... Like damn all that over the counter?
Miss Carlisle was sweet.
1:51 #1 had no peripheral vision.
What was with Tom Poston?
That dollar bill is a silver certificate. Before 1964 you could take them to ant bank and exchange them for silver coin.
The product statements crack me up...Anacin, for depression. Other times Bud pulls out a pack of cigarettes and launches into his spiel. Lol
Before saying the name "Elizabeth Rudel Smith" I knew that it was #3. The way that she stood and the way that she carried herself to her seat, and the way that she poised herself as soon as she sat down, had the look of an executive in a government position.
There's a name you don't hear anymore: MIDGE. She would now be 80 years old as I make this comment in Nov. 2022.
She’s still kickin in the same town
That was 40 years before the terror attacks.
I would have asked what is the first or longest homerun you have ever hit was, as well as the name of the ballpark and the pitcher, something any ballplayer could easily answer.
Who even is/was Peggy King, and woah is she spicy with the look and what she says to Tom.
Like "What's my Line" they can't afford more chairs when there are more than one person to occupy it????
Confused mess.
Wouldn't have fit well for the cameras.
Our paper currency should be printed in different sizes for people who are blind or severely visually impaired
In the second game, the "father" of the contestants #1 looks a bit like Lyle Lovett.

Is Buddy wearing a hair piece !!!!????
Johnny gets upset in a game show, unbelievable bad sportsmanship.
Yea he was and a very bad drunk .
@@downtownbobbybrown6237 That's exactly what Joe Namath said of Carson. A terrible drinker and nasty to others.

Tom Poston is drunk here.
Actually the opening shows a silver certificate, not an actual dollar, so it is an imposter!!
Not at that time. It would still be a few years before silver certificates were withdrawn from circulation.

Baloney, I got one in change in the 90s, it's still legal tender!
JOhnny Carson strikes me as a prima donna
They should of never asked him back after that immature display .
Dave Sisler was wrong about how to calculate ERA.
Well, he was kinda going in the right direction, but games pitched have nothing to do with it.
You noticed that too. For those of you who don't know the formula, it's the following: (earned runs x 9) divided by innings pitched.
@@Lava1964
Or: ER/ (IP/9)
Dave was kinda moving in the right direction, but then he started throwing "games pitched" in there. 🙄
Replaced the mother of Marilyn Munster version 2.0
Skipped the baseball round.
