2007 Duke Baseball DukeDuke BaseballBaseball FacilitiesFacilities Picturesque Jack Coombs Field (right) is located in the heart of Duke’s athletic complex. Named after Duke’s most illus- trious baseball coach, who compiled a 381-171-3 record from 1929-52, Jack Coombs Field is surrounded, sheltered and enclosed by trees and hills. The stadium features a natural grass surface and a tree-lined scenic view beyond the outfield fence with a seating capacity for 2,000 fans. Dimensions of the spacious field are 330 feet down each foul line, 375 feet in the power alleys and 400 feet to center field. The Blue Devils have an enclosed, all-weather hitting and pitching facility (left) along the third base line of Jack Coombs Field. Built in 2001, the facility features six batting cages and astro-turf. The Duke baseball team remodeled its locker room (right) prior to the start of the 2007 season. The locker room was repainted and new lockers were added along with a play- ers’ lounge. A Duke baseball mural and banners were also added in the locker room. The Blue Devils added a players’ lounge (left) to their re- modeled locker room. The players’ lounge features a big screen TV and three leather couches where Duke players and coaches can relax and review video. 2007 Duke Baseball 2007 DUKE BASEBALL Duke University Location................................................................

  • Mcafee Takes a Handoff from Sid Luckman (1947)
    by Jim Ridgeway George McAfee takes a handoff from Sid Luckman (1947). Ironton, a small city in Southern Ohio, is known throughout the state for its high school football program. Coach Bob Lutz, head coach at Ironton High School since 1972, has won more football games than any coach in Ohio high school history. Ironton High School has been a regular in the state football playoffs since the tournament’s inception in 1972, with the school winning state titles in 1979 and 1989. Long before the hiring of Bob Lutz and the outstanding title teams of 1979 and 1989, Ironton High School fielded what might have been the greatest gridiron squad in school history. This nearly-forgotten Tiger squad was coached by a man who would become an assistant coach with the Cleveland Browns, general manager of the Buffalo Bills and the second director of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The squad featured three brothers, two of which would become NFL players, in its starting eleven. One of the brothers would earn All-Ohio, All-American and All-Pro honors before his enshrinement in Canton, Ohio. This story is a tribute to the greatest player in Ironton High School football history, his family, his high school coach and the 1935 Ironton High School gridiron squad. This year marks the 75th anniversary of the undefeated and untied Ironton High School football team featuring three players with the last name of McAfee. It was Ironton High School’s first perfect football season, and the school would not see another such gridiron season until 1978.

  • SF Giants Press Clips Friday, March 17, 2017
    SF Giants Press Clips Friday, March 17, 2017 San Francisco Chronicle Giants’ Christian Arroyo: next piece of homegrown infield? John Shea SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — The Giants love shortstops. Theirs is one of the best in baseball, Brandon Crawford. Their second baseman was drafted as a shortstop and converted in the minors, Joe Panik. They drafted Matt Duffy as a shortstop and taught him to play third base as a big-leaguer. Last summer, they traded for Eduardo Nuñez, who had played mostly shortstop during his career but played third after Duffy was traded to Tampa Bay. Heck, even Buster Posey played shortstop in college. No wonder the Giants’ top hitting prospect is a shortstop. Not that Christian Arroyo is targeted to play the position in the big leagues, not with Mr. Crawford in the house. Arroyo, who’s 21 going on 30, is the team’s third baseman of the future, and we’re not talking the distant future. It’s not unrealistic to imagine Arroyo playing third on Opening Day in 2018, so long as he continues to excel on the fast track. 1 “For me, they stressed the value of versatility,” Arroyo said at his Scottsdale Stadium locker. “Staying versatile is going to be huge.” Arroyo was the Giants’ top draft pick in 2013 — he was salutatorian at Hernando High School in Brooksville, Fla. — and he signed after turning down a scholarship from Florida, where he would have studied architectural engineering. He’s plenty smart enough to realize his ticket to the big leagues might not be at his No.
