You have before you an opportunity to meet others with the same interest in sports and to benefit from the experience of the Veteran's who defended our country. They are now putting their efforts into providing the sense of duty to community and dedication to this country, and to help form the citizens that you will one day step into their places as adults. This may seem like a large return from playing a sport that you like, but it is how you play that matters. You will learn good sportsmanship and how to conduct yourself with dignity in various situations. There is a rich history of fine young men coming out of this program over the last eighty years. These Veterans have worked very hard over the course of the year to produce this program, and to expand it to include a Junior Baseball Team. We are very proud to be associated with such a great program and wish you all a good season. Diane Norris ALA Unit 28 Vice President Spartanburg American Legion Post 28 Commander Ed Y.

Barron Finance Officer Avery Taylor Historian/Museum Curator Jim Harbison Sergeant At Arms William Ray Norris Judge Advocate Dwight Patterson Honor Guard Commander Robert (Bob) Whitney American Legion Auxiliary Unit 28 President Frieda Patrick Davison Vice President Diane Norris Historian Jo Barron Chaplain Liz White Recording Secretary Sarah White Treasurer Carolyn Harbison Girls State Chair Mary Jo Crites Public Relations Chair Shirley Putnam Veterans’ Affairs Chair Geneva Padgett American Legion Baseball Purpose and Scope To inculcate in youth a better understanding of the American way of life and to promote the principles of 100 percent Americanism. To instill in the nation’s youth a sincere desire to develop within themselves a feeling of citizenship, sportsmanship, loyalty and team spirit. To aid in the improvement and development of the physical fitness of our country’s youth. To build for the nation’s future through our youth. Code of Sportsmanship I will: Keep the rules Keep faith with my teammates Keep my temper Keep myself fit Keep a stout heart in defeat Keep my pride under in victory Keep a sound soul, a clean mind, and a healthy body “There are three types of baseball players: those who make it happen, those who watch it happen, and those who wonder what happens.” Tommy Lasorda, former Major League Baseball player and manager A Rich and Exciting 80 Year History “Back in the Day” a phrase often use by old timers to describe a period of time in their life in which great fondness happened and pretty much defined their character. I want to bring you back to 1933, the “Great Depression,” a time of great despair and uncertainty for many people in the upstate area. Yet in spite of the many hardships the country was experiencing there was great optimism for baseball in Spartanburg, SC. The South was known for turning out some of the best ball players and its people enjoyed a good contest. Many of the local merchants would even close shop for the good games. Baseball was very much alive and well when American Legion Post 28 formed a Junior Baseball Team under the leadership of Mike Burgin and Coach Sergeant W. P. Hughes. Players Standing: Claude Bennett, Paul Howell, Horace Sitton, Royland Linder, Dudley Seay, Keeling: George Biershank, Jack Burns, Jim Freeman, Joe Ashemore, Denny Hendrix, Sitting: Darrell Laurens, Dick Hardy, Tye Wood (Bat Boy), Wayman Adair, and Curtis Randal. Spartanburg’s first official game of the Junior League Baseball Series of the 4th district was on Friday, June 2, 1933 at 4 o’clock in Duncan Park with Pacolet Mill. The newspaper reported that both teams practiced diligently the month before getting in shape and new uniforms and bats for the Spartans would arrive before Friday’s game. Athletic Director Mike Burgin and Coach Sarge Hughes were planning a fish fry after the game to mark the event. Spartanburg Post 28 defeated Pacolet, 2-0. Winning Pitcher was Dudley Seay. Both teams made a total of 11 scattered errors. There were a total of 27 men left on the bases which kept the game interesting and tense until the eighth when Spartanburg scored two runs to win the game. Only a small crowd witnessed the game which was described by veteran baseball fans as fast and snappy and one of the best games of amateur ball ever played at Duncan Park. The fish fry following the game was canceled due to only 37 tickets being sold for the event. Not only did Spartanburg end the season with an impressive win/loss record, those young men went on to win the South Carolina State Championship that year. By 1939, Coach Sarge Hughes built a winning baseball program that won five state championships, two regional and sectional championships and one national title in 1936. “The American Legion Little World Series” played in Duncan Park Stadium hosting Los Angeles before 20,000 fans in the fifth game and 60,000 for all the games breaking all attendance records for the American Legion “Little World Series.” When the American Legion Post 28 held tryouts for the first team; seventeen boys turned out for a spot on the team and over seven years the applicant count peaked to well over three hundred ball players. Coach Sarge had a special relationship with his team, it was not uncommon for the boys to drop in on him after school or on a weekend at his office in the Federal Building to autograph team photographs and kid him about the women sending him fan mail. Hughes wrote in letters to Miss Harriett Mays of Bethune, SC that the boys are a happy bunch, and they all appreciate the loyal support coming from South Carolina, that he wasn’t big on parties and when he stopped into Bethune to see her, he hoped there wasn’t going to be a bunch of people to meet him there. The Sarge must have been a humble man. The World War II years placed its own restrictions on the games the Juniors played. Not only did the weather determine when games would be played, but war rationing of tires and gasoline did also. However, the war years did not change the principles of American Legion Baseball. The 1942 season taught Spartanburg a hard lesson of the American Legion Baseball Rules. The story the newspaper reported: Spartanburg and Great Falls were in the race for the state championship title. Great Falls was beaten four straight games and Spartanburg moved to play Florence after they defeated Darlington 4 of 6 games. The first contest in Florence was a double header with Florence winning 8-7 after 11 innings that afternoon and Spartanburg winning the night game 6-4. This contest had all the making of a hard struggle between the two teams, but before the third game in Duncan Park, Florence filed a formal protest with the state Athletic Officer on account of several Spartanburg player’s “birth certificates” were insufficient.

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.

    RODRRODOD DEDEAUXDDEDEAUXEDEAUX ˨˨ THETTHEHE ARCHITECTAARCHITECTRCHITECT OOFOFF UUSCUSCSC BBASEBALLBASEBALLASEBALL On January 5, 2006, the USC baseball program suff ered the loss of Rod Dedeaux, one of the greatest college coaches ever, who passed away at the age of 91. Not only was Dedeaux the main architect for the success of the USC baseball program, but also one of the great ambassadors for college baseball and amateur baseball in international competition. In his 45-year tenure at USC (1942-86), Dedeaux led the Trojans to 11 national championships and 28 conference titles. He posted an overall record of 1,332-571-11 for a superb .699 winning percentage. At his retirement, he had won more games than any other college baseball coach (he currently ranks seventh among Division I coaches). His teams from 1970-74 won fi ve straight NCAA championships, a record that may never be broken. No other school has won more than two in a row. Two personal honors for Dedeaux, which are quite fi tting considering his accomplishments, came in 1999 when he was named “Coach of the Century” by both Baseball America and Collegiate Baseball. As part of the 50th anniversary of the College World Series in 1996, Dedeaux was named the head coach of the All-Time CWS team by a panel of former World Series coaches, media and college baseball offi cials. In 1999, he was presented with keys to the city of Omaha (home to the College World Series). Dedeaux was named Coach of the Year six times by the American Baseball Coaches Association and was inducted into the organization’s Hall of Fame in 1970.
