BOSTON, MA. August 4, 1916 - We haven't seen much news come out of Boston since they joined the United League last season, but yesterday was the beginning of a new chapter for the Shipbuilders.
At the end of March, the Shipbuilders selected Iowa native and Columbia University student Clay "Graveyard" Cherry with the first pick in the amateur draft.
While Cherry lasted just three innings and gave up five runs, it was a big day for him. His father, struggling with a terminal illness, along with the rest of his family, traveled to Boston to watch Clay make his debut. And while Cherry disappointed many Boston fans, he certainly did not disappoint his family.
"I'm so proud of him," said Mr. Cherry with a tear in his eye. "All of my children. I'm so proud of all of them. Watching Clay out there, doing what he loves. It's the thing every father loves to see."
