I lusted after the various sports games advertised in the magazines until my mom finally relented and bought Strat-O-Matic Football for me in 1972. I got SOM’s baseball game a year later and I was hooked. I would get the new card set each year and attempt to play the in-progress season by moving the traded players around and turning ‘nameless player cards” into that year’s key rookies. I switched to APBA in the late ‘70’s because they started releasing some complete old season sets and the idea of playing with those really caught my fancy. Between then and the mid-nineties, I collected a lot of card sets.

  • One Last Pitch Before I Die
    Before Before I Die One Last Pitch One Last Pitch Gary Bedingfield Baseball in Wartime Newsletter Vol. 8 No. 44 July 2016 One Last Pitch Before I Die Baseball had been a way of life for many of those who served in the military during World War II, but for most, it was a distant memory – a fading recollection of summers long since passed – as the rigors of army life and the instinct for survival became all encompassing. So, had baseball figured in the lives of men shortly before they went into combat or even lost their lives in service? Was the grip of horsehide, the scent of glove leather and the perfect balance of a wood bat still fresh in their minds? The answer is yes, and “One Last Pitch Before I Die” recounts those events. From game-day tragedies to week-later combat in Normandy, baseball was not always such a distant memory. On the Home Front Major Serventi Baseball had been Serventi's life. He'd had a taste of pitching in the Pacific Coast League and was proudly serving his country in the uniform of the United States Army while still playing baseball at the weekends. Growing up in Oakland, California, was all about baseball for Marcello L. "Major" Serventi. At the age of 16, he was pitching for Technical High School, the O.K. Batteries sandlot team, the St. Columba team of the Catholic Youth Organization league, and Post 5, the Bay Area American Legion junior baseball champions. It’s not surprising that in the summer of 1934, it was announced that he’d signed with the Oakland Oaks for 1935.

  • Forgotten Pittsburgh Pirates of the 1950S ©Diamondsinthedusk.Com
    Forgotten Pittsburgh Pirates of the 1950s ©DiamondsintheDusk.com One could say that the foundation for the Pittsburgh Pirates’ World Series title in 1960 has its genesis a decade earlier on July 19, 1950, when John Galbreath, a Pitts- burgh real estate mogul, becomes the team’s primary shareholder and assumes the team presidency. Four months later, on November 6, 1950, Galbreath makes what maybe is the best hire in the franchise’s modern day history when he signs Branch Rickey as the team’s general manager. Rickey, a general manager who had built dynasties in his two prior stops with the Cardinals and Dodgers, determines that the Pirates, who have had only one win- ning season (1948) over the previous four years and are headed for a last-place finish in 1950, will have to be rebuilt from the ground up with youth. In 1951, Galbreath allows Rickey to spend nearly $500,000 in bonuses to amateur prospects, yielding such Carlos Bernier, 1953 prospects as Bennie Daniels, Dick Hall, Bob Skinner, Dick Stuart and Lee Walls. Brandy Davis, 1952-53 Tom Saffell, 1950-51 Over the next couple of years dur- ing the rebuild, “The Mahatma” will trade away several popular players, Gair Allie, 1954 Curt Roberts, 1954-56 including future Hall of Famer Ralph Kiner, infielder Danny O’Connell and outfielders Wally Westlake, Gus Bell. Bill Koski, 1951 Woody Main, 1952-53 Even though Rickey isn’t around to Paul LaPalme, 1951-54 savor the World Series championship Sonny Senerchia, 1952 Cholly Naranjo, 1956 Dale Coogan, 1950 over the New York Yankees in 1960, Lauren Pepper, 1954-57 the players that he acquired by trade Paul Pettit, 1951,53 or the draft and groomed through Jim Waugh, 1952-53 the team’s extensive minor league Len Yochim, 1951,54 system, will be the foundation of the Corsairs’ first world championship team in 35 years.
