  • The Decline and Fall of the Pirates Family
    Chapter One The Decline and Fall of the Pirates Family The 1980–1985 Seasons ♦◊♦ As over forty-four thousand Pirates fans headed to Three Rivers Sta- dium for the home opener of the 1980 season, they had every reason to feel optimistic about the Pirates and Pittsburgh sports in general. In the 1970s, their Pirates had captured six divisional titles, two National League pennants, and two World Series championships. Their Steelers, after decades of futility, had won four Super Bowls in the 1970s, while the University of Pittsburgh Panthers led by Heisman Trophy winner Tony Dorsett added to the excitement by winning a collegiate national championship in football. There was no reason for Pittsburgh sports fans to doubt that the 1980s would bring even more titles to the City of Champions. After the “We Are Family” Pirates, led by Willie Stargell, won the 1979 World Series, the ballclub’s goals for 1980 were “Two in a Row and Two Million Fans.”1 If the Pirates repeated as World Series champions, it would mark the first time that a Pirates team had accomplished that feat in franchise history. If two million fans came out to Three Rivers Stadium to see the Pirates win back-to-back World Series titles, it would 3 © 2017 University of Pittsburgh Press.

The offseason after the 1979 World Series victory was a whirlwind of awards and honors, highlighted by World Series Most Valuable Player (MVP) Willie Stargell and Super Bowl MVP Terry Bradshaw of the Steelers appearing on the cover of the December 24, 1979, Sports Illustrated as corecipients of the magazine’s Sportsman of the Year Award.

    Jokester Klein mined gold in Minoso’s sore body parts By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Tuesday, August 8, 2017 Robert Klein loves self-generated sound effects and body English em- phasis in his comic act. But like the veteran pitcher nearing 40, the 75-year-old jokester can't summon his vintage fastball when he needs it. In this case, reviving his old Minnie Minoso on-stage thread. “I did a routine about him holding the record being hit by pitched balls,” Klein said of the late, fearless White Sox great. “So I made up a fictitious (slapping) noise for being hit by a Robert Klein once had Minnie Minoso as a sound- pitch. I can’t do that noise anymore of effects, body English part of his act. a ball being hit. My tongue won’t op- erate like that. “When I did the routine, it was Chicago (tongue slap), St. Louis (tongue slap), and each time I’d get hit in the head. His (HBP) record was broken by Ron Hunt. I said they’d meet once a year together and show two goofy guys who were hit in the head too many times.” Klein then followed Minoso to the end of his career…whenever. “It was a nice gesture when the Sox brought him back for technically a fifth decade (1980),” he said. “A guy like him, he could have made his debut earlier (if not for the col- or line).” Klein did not channel Minoso from second-hand information. He watched Minnie in his Sox prime in the 1950s at Yankee Stadium, his home away from home in his native Bronx.

  • “Casey” Stengel Baseball Player and Manager 1890-1975
    Missouri Valley Special Collections: Biography Charles Dillon “Casey” Stengel Baseball Player and Manager 1890-1975 by David Conrads In a career that spanned six decades, Casey Stengel made his mark on baseball as a player, coach, manager, and all-around showman. Arguably the greatest manager in the history of the game, he set many records during his legendary stint with the New York Yankees in the 1950s. He is perhaps equally famous for his colorful personality, offbeat antics, and his homespun anecdotes, delivered in a personal language dubbed “Stengelese,” which was characterized by humor, practicality, and long-windedness. Charles Dillon Stengel was born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri. He attended Woodland Grade School then switched to the Garfield Grammar School. A tough kid, with a powerful build, he was a great natural athlete and star of the Central High School sports teams. While still in school, he played for semi-professional baseball teams sponsored by the Armour Packing Company and the Parisian Cloak Company, as well as for the Kansas City Red Sox, a traveling semi-pro team. He quit high school in 1910, just short of graduating, to play baseball professionally with the Kansas City Blues, a minor-league team. Stengel made his major league debut in 1912 as an outfielder with the Brooklyn Dodgers. It was then that he acquired his nickname, which was inspired primarily by his hometown as well as by the popularity at the time of the poem “Casey at the Bat.” A decent, if not outstanding player, Stengel played for 14 years with five National League teams.

  • Versatile Fox Sports Broadcaster Kenny Albert Continues to Pair with Biggest Names in Sports
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Erik Arneson, FOX Sports Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2016 [email protected] VERSATILE FOX SPORTS BROADCASTER KENNY ALBERT CONTINUES TO PAIR WITH BIGGEST NAMES IN SPORTS Boothmates like Namath, Ewing, Palmer, Leonard ‘Enhance Broadcasts … Make My Job a Lot More Fun’ Teams with Former Cowboy and Longtime Broadcast Partner Daryl ‘Moose’ Johnston and Sideline Reporter Laura Okmin for FOX NFL in 2016 With an ever-growing roster of nearly 250 teammates (complete list below) that includes iconic names like Joe Namath, Patrick Ewing, Jim Palmer, Jeremy Roenick and “Sugar Ray” Leonard, versatile FOX Sports play-by-play announcer Kenny Albert -- the only announcer currently doing play-by-play for all four major U.S. sports (NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL) -- certainly knows the importance of preparation and chemistry. “The most important aspects of my job are definitely research and preparation,” said Albert, a second-generation broadcaster whose long-running career behind the sports microphone started in high school, and as an undergraduate at New York University in the late 1980s, he called NYU basketball games. “When the NFL season begins, it's similar to what coaches go through. If I'm not sleeping, eating or spending time with my family, I'm preparing for that Sunday's game. “And when I first work with a particular analyst, researching their career is definitely a big part of it,” Albert added. “With (Daryl Johnston) ‘Moose,’ for example, there are various anecdotes from his years with the Dallas Cowboys that pertain to our games. When I work local Knicks telecasts with Walt ‘Clyde’ Frazier on MSG, a percentage of our viewers were avid fans of Clyde during the Knicks’ championship runs in 1970 and 1973, so we weave some of those stories into the broadcasts.” As the 2016 NFL season gets underway, Albert once again teams with longtime broadcast partner Johnston, with whom he has paired for 10 seasons, sideline reporter Laura Okmin and producer Barry Landis.

    Green energy boosts MLB exec Lewis in her ’87 start with the Cubs By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Tuesday, September 10th, 2013 Wendy Lewis knew she was entering a brave new world when she walked into Dallas Green’s Wrigley Field office in the early summer of 1987 to get his blessing as the team’s first manager of human re- sources. Lewis had the backing of par- ent Tribune Co., where she had worked for the Chicago Tribune. But she didn’t know quite what to expect from vol- uble Cubs president-general manager Green, whose 50,000-watt booming voice Wendy Lewis (left) with granddaughter Samya Lewis-Kemp after could announce his presence the Civil Rights roundtable discussion at the Chicago Cultural before his expansive 6-foot-5 Center. frame actually filled the room. Here was a woman – a minority one, at that – entering the boys club of a baseball team. And Green, who had shaken the Cubs to the core in dragging them out of the moss- backed Wrigley family ownership, reeked of testosterone with a triple dose. “One of the last organization changes (Tribune Co. mandated for the team) is they want- ed the Cubs to develop a human resources department,” said Lewis, now senior vice president of diversity and strategic alliances for Major League Baseball. “They didn’t have one, nor did any other team.
