This is a 1957 American Association All Star
Game tie bar, presented to dignitaries
and participants in the game played in
Wichita. The 10K gold tie-bar in the
form of a baseball bat supports a gold
ornate crossed bat & figural eagle
featuring a raised relief gold baseball
with a blue enameled border that reads
"ALL STAR GAME - American Assoc."
Centered between the stitching is the
Word "Wichita" with a diamond set
above, and 1957 below. The back of the
tie clip is attributed to Tom Cheney,
and features the "Agrall CO, LOU KY,
10k" maker's mark.
In 1957, the American Association All Stars played the then league leading
Wichita Braves, defeating the home team
5-4. The Braves finished the season 3
games ahead the second place Denver
Bears. The American Association All
Star pitcher, Tom Cheney played for the
Omaha Cardinals, a triple A team
affiliated with the St. Louis
Cardinals.
Eight years in the Major Leagues, Tom Cheney played for the St. Louis
Cardinals, Pittsburgh Pirates, and the
Washington Senators. On September 12,
1962, pitching for the Senators, Tom
Cheney established the Major League single-game
strikeout record, fanning 21 batters in
a 16-inning marathon, against the
Baltimore Orioles. Chaney pitched all
16 innings. So much for your modern day
pitch count. He threw 228 pitches and
chain smoked in between innings.
Cheney's curveball was virtually
unhittable. Brooks Robinson stated, "He
showed me the greatest stuff I've seen
from any pitcher."
