Magazine Search BOOKS | BOOKSHELF SHARE FACEBOOKThe Salt of the Diamond TWITTERA look back at the 1947 World Series—in which Joe DiMaggio and Jackie Robinson played—focusing on six of its unsung heroes. Edward Kosner reviews ‘Electric October’ by Kevin Cook. EMAIL PERMALINK PHOTO: BETTMANN ARCHIVE By Edward Kosner Sept. 28, 2017 6:33 pm ET SAVE PRINT TEXT 7 Of all sports, baseball lives the most in its past. Those meticulous statistics help, of course. And the fact that, over the years, the game has attracted more gifted writers than any other, from Ring Lardner to John Updike, Robert Coover and Philip Roth. Random baseball moments—not just epic coups like Bobby Thomson’s 1951 “miracle” home run—persist in memory long after they should have evanesced. Kevin Cook’s heartfelt and entertaining “Electric October” is ostensibly about the 1947 World Series between Joe DiMaggio’s Yankees and the Dodgers of Jackie Robinson, Pee Wee Reese and Dixie Walker. The book is really about the lost drama and culture of mid- 20th-century baseball still embedded in the minds of old-timers. A onetime editor at Sports Illustrated, Mr. Cook doesn’t focus on the stars DiMaggio and Robinson. Instead he tells the stories of two baseball lifers—the Yankee manager Bucky Harris and the Dodger skipper Burt Shotton—and four bit players: Yankee journeyman pitcher Bill Bevens and Dodgers pinch hitter Cookie Lavagetto, who broke up Bevens’s no- RECOMMENDED VIDEOS hitter in game four; Al Gionfriddo, a diminutive scrub who kept Brooklyn in the series with NYC Sets Up Traveler- a sensational catch in game six; and George (Snuffy) Stirnweiss, a Yankee infielder who was 1.

Nellie Fox, Phil Niekro, and Willie Wells will also be honored. The fourteenth manager and the fifteenth Dodger honored, this man, who has been considered one of baseball's great ambassadors over the past twenty years, is an overwhelming fan's choice for a spot at Cooperstown.

  • Dodgers' Hall of Fame Mgr. Walter Alston's
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Terry Melia – 949-831-3700, [email protected] DODGERS’ HALL OF FAME MGR. WALTER ALSTON’S MEMORABILIA HEADLINES SCP AUCTIONS’ 2016 MID-SUMMER CLASSIC The late MLB skipper’s extensive lineup of coveted major league awards goes up for bid from August 3rd to the 20th at scpauctions.com Laguna Niguel, Calif. (August 2, 2016) – SCP Auctions is extremely proud to announce that it will be auctioning off the personal memorabilia collection of the late Walter Alston, a managerial fixture for 23 seasons with both the Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers. The affable manager’s distinguished assortment of baseball heirlooms encompasses more than 130 lots and will hit the online auction block starting on Wednesday, August 3, at www.scpauctions.com. It features Alston’s four World Series championship rings (1955, ’59, ’63 and ’65), as well as a large assortment of game-worn Dodgers uniforms, caps and jackets worn by the six-time National League Manager of the Year. Alston’s lineup even includes a 1950’s game-worn catcher’s mitt that was gifted to Alston’s granddaughter by fellow Hall of Famer Roy Campanella, the late, great Dodger backstop. “It is our distinct pleasure to conduct this auction,” said SCP Auctions President David Kohler. “Walter was a great man and a great leader of men as evidenced by his success as manager of the Dodgers for 23 years. We are excited and anxious to see how well his impeccably preserved memorabilia does at auction.” A native Ohioan, Alston attended Miami of Ohio University from which he graduated and lettered in baseball and basketball before signing with the St.

  • An Introduction to Baseball in Austin and Marcusen Park
    An introduction to Baseball in Austin and Marcusen Park. From 1937 to 1953, the Southern Minny League largely dominated in the state baseball tournament. During those years, the Southern Minny’s post-season tournament champion1 won the state tournament at either the A or AA level twelve times. Only once did the Southern Minny’s representative fail to place first or second when Austin dropped a first round game in the tournament in 1939. Despite the phenomenal success of Austin’s program particularly in the post-World War II era, baseball in Austin did lead a bit of a vagabond life. At times, there simply was no home for baseball at all and others no dedicated home. Even so, Austin has hosted many historic moments, players and teams. The first of which is reflected on the back of this Ted Williams baseball card. The referenced no-hitter in Austin triggered much of my interest in researching baseball in Southern Minnesota. John Donaldson actually lost the game with the no-hitter intact due to an error (or two). This game is believed to have taken place in Lafayette Park. If elected to the Hall of Fame in 2020, Donaldson will join Burleigh Grimes, Jose Mendez and Satchel Paige as the known Hall of Fame members to have played in Austin. 1. The Southern Minny held a post-season tournament to determine the state representative. Speaking of Burleigh Grimes: Became available when Minnesota-Wisconsin League disbanded on July 1, 1912. “Grimes, a new recruit, was on the rubber and won himself a berth with us.

    Manuel manages to join quirky Phillies company - The Delaware County ... http://www.delcotimes.com/articles/2009/09/15/sports/doc4aaf58bdf2a5... Serving Delaware County, PA Sports Published: Tuesday, September 15, 2009 No comments posted. | Email to a friend | Print version | ShareThis | RSS Feeds By Rich Westcott, Special to the Times Click to enlarge It doesn’t take a math whiz to figure out where Charlie Manuel ranks on the all-time list of Phillies managers. The numbers are easily understandable. They show that Manuel has joined the Little General, the Father of Baseball, and the guy who claimed that “even Napoleon had his Watergate,” as the most successful managers in Phillies history. When he won his 432nd game recently, Manuel moved into fourth place on the team’s all-time victories list for managers, trailing only Gene Mauch (646), Harry Wright (636), and Danny Ozark (594). Manuel, in his fifth season, reached 432 faster than the other three. By moving past Jim Fregosi, Manuel, who at 65 is the oldest man to ever manage the Phillies, put himself in line for some other milestones. He could become the team’s first manager to win 85 or more games five years 1 of 5 9/15/2009 3:56 PM Manuel manages to join quirky Phillies company - The Delaware County ... http://www.delcotimes.com/articles/2009/09/15/sports/doc4aaf58bdf2a5... in a row. Most likely, he’ll also become only the second manager in club history to win three straight division titles, joining Ozark (1976-78), who is the only one to win 100 or more regular-season games (and did so in back-to-back seasons).

  • A Boy of Summer
    A Boy of Summer Andrew Paul Mele “Every man carries within himself a world made up of all that he has seen and loved, and it is to this world that he returns incessantly.” —Francois-Rene de Chateaubriand, French Author and Diplomat, 1768 - 1848 “Those fans in Brooklyn were something. They were just about on the roster!” —Kirby Higbe, Pitcher, Brooklyn Dodgers, 1941-1947 The summer passed swiftly. After the initial shock of his father’s heart at- tack in the spring, the boy and his family settled into an uneasy routine of medication and walks and having his father around the house all the time. Robert sometimes felt guilty about his own feelings. His father’s convalescence enabled them to spend more time together than had been possible before, and for that the boy was grateful. It was baseball and the Brooklyn Dodgers that established the link between father and son, and through that summer of 1955, both were able to revel in the successes of the ball club. They had gotten off to a rip-roaring start by win- ning the first ten games they played, then after losing two out of three to the Giants, they won another eleven to go 22 and 2 to open the season. Robert and his dad had gone to Ebbets Field for the second game of that Giant series. It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon and they weren’t disap- 92 Aethlon XXIII:2 / Spring 2006 pointed, neither in the excitement that invariably comes with a battle between those two rivals, nor the outcome; the Dodgers winning the game 3-1.
