  • Mickey Owen Baseball School Along Old Route 66 in Miller, About 25 Miles West of Springfield
    July 31, 2005----- MILLER, Mo. -- Mickey Owen was the Brooklyn Dodgers catcher known for his passed ball in the 1941 World Series that led the New York Yankees to a championship. But later in life, the popular All-Star never passed on giving an assist to a youngster. Owen had a 13-year major-league career, including a 1949-51 stint with the Cubs. He retired to his central Missouri roots in 1954. In 1959, Owen founded the Mickey Owen Baseball School along old Route 66 in Miller, about 25 miles west of Springfield. Notable pupils include Yankees coach Joe Girardi, actor Charlie Sheen and former Birmingham Baron Michael Jordan, who was awarded a summer scholarship to the school when he was 13. Owen died earlier this month from complications of Alzheimer's disease. The native of Nixa, Mo., was 89. But his school is still going as if it were the summer of '59. A tapestry of six baseball diamonds, batting cages and forest green cabins are set off the highway in a lush grove of tall oak trees. The 15 cabins are homes for summer players, ages 8-19. Players come from the Midwest, Japan, Puerto Rico and South Africa. They live on the 77-acre grounds for one or two weeks. Each cabin is named after a vintage major-league team. Eight to 10 players are assigned to a cabin. There is no "Devil Rays" cabin. During the summer of 1976, Jordan stayed in the "White Sox" cabin. The cabins are not air conditioned. This is baseball unplugged.

  • Lou Gehrig the Last Time Lou Gehrig’S Name Appeared in a Baseball Box Score
    A Schott From The Bleachers Lou Gehrig The Last Time Lou Gehrig’s Name Appeared in a Baseball Box Score by Arthur O. Schott The following are excerpts from the Kansas City Times covering the game of Monday, June 12, 1939 – an exhibition contest at Kansas City. This was the last time Lou Gehrig’s name appeared in a baseball box score. “And all the Yankee notables performed at least for part of the game. The starting lineup found Joe DiMaggio playing in center, Bill Dickey behind the bat and Frank Crosetti at short. You even found the venerable Lou Gehrig, most popular of all the Yankees, at first base. “Lou played by popular demand. He hadn’t intended to play at all, but Lou is an obliging fellow and so he accommodated. After taking one turn at the bat in the second, when he grounded to Priddy, he retired in favor of Babe Dahlgren. But he had shown himself and the crowd roared to his name. “Vance pushed a hit past the slow-moving Gehrig and McCullough scored. “Lou Gehrig remained here and leaves this morning for the Mayo clinic at Rochester, Minn., where the veteran intends to undergo a physical examination. “Gehrig made his first appearance in a game since he dropped out of the Yankee line-up May 2. He was given a great hand when he came to bat in the third.” At Kansas City, June 12, 1939 NEW YORK AB H PO A KANSAS CITY AB H PO A Frankie Crosetti, ss 2 1 1 3 Johnny Sturm, 1b 4 0 14 1 Bill Knickerbocker, ss 2 0 2 3 Phil Rizzuto, ss 4 0 1 4 Red Rolfe, 3b 4 1 1 1 Bill Matheson, lf 4 1 2 0 Tommy Henrich, rf 4 1 4 0 Vince DiMaggio, cf 3 1 1 0 Joe DiMaggio, cf 3 0 0 0 Jerry Priddy, 2b 4 1 3 9 Jake Powell, cf 1 0 2 0 Bud Metheny, rf 4 0 1 0 Bill Dickey, c 1 0 0 0 Bill Hitchcock, 3b 3 1 1 1 Buddy Rosar, c 3 1 3 1 Clyde McCullough, c 3 1 3 1 Charlie Keller, lf 4 2 2 0 Joe Vance, p 2 1 1 1 Joe Gordon, 2b 3 0 4 4 a – Jack Saltzgaver 1 0 0 0 Lou Gehrig, 1b 1 0 4 0 Frank Makosky, p 0 0 0 1 Babe Dahlgren, 1b 3 3 4 0 Steve Sundra, p 4 0 0 3 Totals .
