    #A - Jacob Fields Wade, Jr. – Jake “Whistling Jake” Wade By John Fuqua References: SABR MILB Database Baseball Reference The Sporting News Detroit News Joe (Boy) Willis, Carteret County, North Carolina, Baseball Historian “Nuggets on the Diamond”, Dick Dobbins - author In the sandy soil of Carteret County, North Carolina, young boys were schooled in a tough brand of baseball. They emulated their fathers, uncles, and community leaders who held regular jobs during the week in the whaling and fishing community of Morehead City and played baseball in leagues on the weekend. The spirited local nine was tough, smart, scrappy, hard working and on occasion settled slights and disagreements with the area competition with their fists. These men played the game because they loved it. Baseball was not their occupation. It was their avocation. They shared this love with their sons. Jacob Fields Wade, Jr. was born on April 1, 1912 in Morehead City, North Carolina. His father, Jacobs Fields Wade, Sr. had moved to Carteret County in the late 1800’s from Massachusetts. He was a whaler and ship builder and moved to this Southern Coastal Community to build a life for his family. Earlier, he had married Love Styron and together they raised a family of eleven. The four boys were Rupert – who died in an accident, Charles Winfield “Wink”, Jake, and the youngest brother Ben. The daughters were Carita, Maidie, Eudora, Duella, Eleanor, Hazel, and Josephine. Jake Wade attended school at the Charles S Wallace School in Morehead City from 1918-1929. Jake played high school baseball for Wallace, where he started out as a First Baseman because of his height, the coach quickly moved him to the pitching staff as he developed into a dominant pitcher who was difficult to beat.
