Go West, Young Man
The Day by Day Database now goes back to 1958, the year the Dodgers and Giants moved their rivalry to the west coast. Here's how the Dodgers pitched against the Giants that year, and how the Giants pitchers fared against the Dodgers. I assume Ruben Gomez earned some fans that season.

I was just thinking about going west, to Alberta, when I refreshed my browser and saw "Go West, Young Man". It's fate.
This is so awesome! I love that you're doing this (finally).
You're all about the Robinson's now... you're about to get into Jackie's career and soon you'll have covered all of Frank's. I can't remember exactly when Brooks started his career, but wasn't that sometime in the late 50's too? You got me all excited about baseball stats when I'm trying to think about the NFL playoffs LOL
Rueben Gomez' ultimate moment was in mid 50s when he dusted off Milwaukee Joe Adcock and Joe advanced to the mound area. Gomez took the ball and gutlessly threw it at Adcock and then turned and sprinted to the safety of the Polo Grounds CF clubhouse. Shameful.
