    NATIONAL COLLEGIATE BASEBALL WRITERS NEWSLETTER (Volume 43, No. 7, December 10, 2004) NCBWA President’s Message By NCBWA President Mike Montoro Though the holiday and bowl seasons are here upon us, we hope the recently-released preseason NCBWA All-America team will bring some warm thoughts of spring to you. Our deepest sympathies go to the family and friends of late NCBWA member Matt Smith, who died while on a basketball road trip to Mississippi State on Dec. 3. The South Alabama SID was a frequent contributor and one of the top young SIDs in the nation. His passing at this time of the year strikes home particularly hard to those who knew or worked with Matt. Don’t forget to email any news items to Bo Carter ([email protected]) for the newsletter, and thanks for staying attuned to some upcoming developments which can affect the NCBWA and college baseball as a whole. There are some exciting possibilities and some possible new awards on the horizon, so be on the watch for nomination forms, releases and other forthcoming information. In the meantime, here’s wishing you the happiest of holiday seasons (and bowls for many of you), safe travels, and good cheer for the end of 2004 and the start of what promises to be an outstanding year in 2005. Mike Montoro NCBWA President NCBWA Member Matt Smith of South Alabama Dies Suddenly Matt Smith, media relations director for the University of South Alabama, died unexpectedly on Dec. 3, 2004, of an apparent heart attack in Starkville, Miss., while traveling with the USA basketball team.

    The Boston Red Sox Saturday, September 23, 2017 * The Boston Globe Red Sox put new formula to work in win over Reds Peter Abraham CINCINNATI — The Red Sox were up by a run after four innings against the Cincinnati Reds on Friday night and Rick Porcello had thrown only 57 pitches. His performance had been erratic, the righthander putting eight men in base. But Porcello expected he would stay in the game because that is what managers traditionally do, they let starting pitchers try to hold a lead. But most managers do not have a pitcher of David Price’s caliber in the bullpen and John Farrell does. Farrell turned to Price in the fifth inning and he handed that lead over to Addison Reed with two outs in the seventh. Craig Kimbrel took over in the ninth and the Sox beat the Reds, 5-4. It was a dress rehearsal for the playoffs, the Sox using Price for multiple innings to get to Reed and Kimbrel. That combination can be as good if not better than what any other playoff team has. “You saw it last year in the playoffs, so many starters went five innings or even less. You need that guy to bridge the gap,” Reed said. “When that guy is David Price, it doesn’t get much better. We’re pretty damn excited to have him down there.” With the Yankees losing in Toronto, the Sox now lead the American League East by four games with nine games to play. “The ball’s in our court.

  • A's News Clips, Monday, February 20, 2012 by Joe Stiglich
    A’s News Clips, Monday, February 20, 2012 Oakland A's have plenty to do in camp before opener By Joe Stiglich, Oakland Tribune For those who think spring training is merely for players to knock the winter rust off, consider the A's situation. Their to-do list includes identifying a starting first baseman and designated hitter, choosing as many as three pitchers for their five-man rotation, finding a closer and sorting out a crowded outfield. Then consider they have 11 fewer days to make those decisions than they normally would, thanks to a March 28 season opener against the Seattle Mariners in Tokyo. The A's play their final Cactus League game March 21 and fly to Japan the next day. Were they not heading abroad, they probably would have played their final Cactus League exhibition April 1. Perhaps that's why A's manager Bob Melvin was on the move during the first pitchers-and-catchers workout Sunday, observing as many players as he could. "It's one thing if you have a starting group at every position and you're evaluating young guys," Melvin said. "We're going to have some guys that are integral parts of our team that we're going to have to evaluate." The A's will have 21 Cactus League games on which to base those evaluations before flying to Tokyo on March 22. Interesting to note is that the A's could have bought themselves another week to sort out their roster. The Mariners were granted permission by Major League Baseball to open camp Feb.

    Vol. 69 No. 17 April 29, 2011 Word of the month: Heritage Net Zero Army IDs Carson Public Affairs Office Fort Carson has been designated as one of two Army “Net Zero” installations. Katherine Hammack, assistant secretary of the Army for Installations, Energy and Environment, made the announcement at the Installation Management Symposium in San Antonio April 19. The categories considered for installation Net Zero status were energy, water and waste. “Because of the high quality and capability of the installations, we couldn’t narrow it down to five (installations) in each category and one for overall. We ended up narrowing it down to six in each category and two overall. The two overall installations are Fort Carson, Colo., and Fort Bliss, Texas,” said Hammack in a media roundtable held in conjunction with the symposium. Fort Carson self-nominated to become a Net Zero installation in March to challenge its already robust energy, water and waste sustainability goals and to advance the resource-conscious posture of today’s Army. “We’ve already got one of the largest solar arrays, which has been reducing our energy consumption, particularly for housing,” said Brig. Gen. James H. Doty, acting senior commander, 4th Infantry Division and Fort Carson, in the media roundtable. “We also have a qualified recycling program that we will endeavor to start looking at using gray water for reuse on the golf course and some other things. In the (combat aviation brigade) buildings, we’re going to try to make every one of those buildings effectively Net Zero when they are constructed.” The Net Zero energy designation will require Fort Carson to produce as much energy on site as it uses.

    Forgotten Heroes: Sam Hairston by Center for Negro League Baseball Research Dr. Layton Revel Copyright 2020 “Sam Hairston Night” – Colorado Springs (1955) “Sam Hairston Night” at the Colorado Springs Sky Sox Ball Park Sam Receives a New Car (1955) Hairston Family at Colorado Springs Ball Park “Sam Hairston Night” (front row left to right - Johnny, Sam Jr., Wife and Jerry) (1955) Samuel Harding Hairston was born on January 20, 1920 in the small town of Crawford, Lowndes County which is in the eastern part of the state of Mississippi. He was the second of thirteen children (eight boys and five girls) born to Will and Clara Hairston. Will Hairston moved his family from Crawford to the Birmingham area in 1922. The primary reason for the move was to find better work so that he could support his large family. Will became a coal miner and worked alongside Garnett Bankhead who was the father of the five Bankhead brothers who all played in the Negro Leagues. By 1930 Will had gained employment with American Cast Iron and Pipe (ACIPCO) as a laborer in their pipe shop. According to United States census records the Hairston family also lived in North Birmingham and Sayreton. Sam spent his formative years in Hooper City and attended Hooper City High School. Reportedly Sam did not finish high school and when he was 16 he told the employment office at ACIPCO that he was 18 and was given a job working for the company. According to Sam he went to work to help support the family and give his brothers and sisters the opportunity to go to school.

  • The Case Study of the Ron Tonkin Field/ Hillsboro Hops Public-Private Partnership
    CASE STUDY The Case Study of the Ron Tonkin Field/ Hillsboro Hops Public-Private Partnership The Hillsboro City Council set out to expand the Gordon Faber Recreation Complex and bring professional baseball to town as a means of enhancing residents’ quality of life. In doing so, the Council had several goals, including: 1. To create a facility that could be used year-round for youth sports, adult sports, special and community events. 2. To continue to support fields for public use, particularly to support athletic programs of the Hillsboro School District, as well as regional and state university athletic programs. 3. To support local youth with the creation of new jobs. 4. To support economic development in Hillsboro and help local businesses by increasing tourism spending and related entertainment spending. 5. To build regional and national awareness of Hillsboro as a means of highlighting our exceptional community. After a significant investment of time to gather and evaluate all available information in order to reach the best informed decision, the Hillsboro City Council authorized a public-private partnership with Short Season, LLC, owners of the soon-to-be named Hillsboro Hops. The agreement called for Short Season, LLC to relocate the team from Yakima and begin play in Hillsboro in June 2013 at the Gordon Faber Recreation Complex. In the Hops’ first three years playing at Hillsboro Ballpark/Ron Tonkin Field (renamed in 2014), the team sold more than 430,000 tickets. In addition to hosting the only professional baseball team in the Portland metro area, Ron Tonkin Field continues to play host to high school football, soccer, baseball, and charity fundraising events.
