  • Interviewing Gil Coan
    Gil Coan, still using his arm… to feed the cattle The 1945 Minor League Player of the Year had a 10-year career mostly with the Senators By George Vrechek In a prior SCD, I had whimsically suggested that the oldest living major leaguers convene to play a super-seniors baseball game. I also thought it would be great to talk to some of the players I selected. I started by following a thread about the post-baseball career of outfielder Gil Coan (90). Coan played for the Senators between 1946 and 1953. He finished by playing with the Orioles, White Sox, and Giants in 1954, 1955, and 1956. In his playing days, he was 6’, 180 pounds, batted left, and threw right; he was frequently described as a “promising fleet-footed” outfielder. Coan’s cards Coan had several baseball cards, and with his longevity, it isn’t hard to find an autographed card. His signature remains remarkably clear and consistent over the years. There were 501 eBay listings for cards, photos, or other Coan memorabilia when I last checked. His rookie card is a 1949 Bowman valued at $20 in SCD’s price guide. He was one of only 25 prominent players depicted in the 1949 M&P set. As a promising player, he was included in every subsequent Bowman set, and he usually appeared in an early series. Consequently, his cards are not difficult to find. Card backs usually mention his outstanding minor league career or his back to back .303 seasons with Washington. He had two Topps cards: 1952 and 1953, with his #291 5th series 1952 card the more expensive at $65.

  • The Longest Throw
    The Longest Throw by Steven P. Gietschier Don Grate proved in Greenfield, Ohio, that he could kick a football. He proved in Columbus that he could shoot a basketball. And he proved in Chattanooga, Tennessee, that he could throw a baseball - farther than anyone else. And then he proved it again and again. In the 1950s, when ballplayers were more scornful of the threat of injury than they are today and when minor-league games were often enlivened by such field events as cow-milking contests and egg-tossing relays, Grate, a major-league pitcher turned minor-league outfielder; three times set the record for throwing a baseball for distance. He didn't own the record for long, it is true, but, to hear Grate tell it, the mark should still be his. His best throw, he says, went farther than could be measured, certainly farther than the throw since recognized as the world's longest. Don Grate may not have set out to establish the record he did, but even at Greenfield's Edward Lee McClain High School, he was an outstanding athlete. He earned four varsity letters in both basketball and football and another three in baseball. He won All-Ohio honors in basketball and could have attended the University of Kentucky to play for Adolph Rupp. But Grate decided to attend Ohio State. He wanted an OSU degree to get a teaching and coaching job in Ohio, and he wanted to play for the Buckeyes freshman basketball coach, former All-American Jimmy Hull, himself a Greenfield native.
