  • Baseball History
    Christian Brothers Baseball History 1930 - 1959 By James McNamara, Class of 1947 Joseph McNamara, Class of 1983 1 Introductory Note This is an attempt to chronicle the rich and colorful history of baseball played at Christian Brothers High School from the years 1930 to 1959. Much of the pertinent information for such an endeavor exists only in yearbooks or in scrapbooks from long ago. Baseball is a spring sport, and often yearbooks were published before the season’s completion. There are even years where yearbooks where not produced at all, as is the case for the years 1930 to 1947. Prep sports enjoyed widespread coverage in the local papers, especially during the hard years of the Great Depression and World War II. With the aid of old microfilm machines at the City Library, it was possible to resurrect some of those memorable games as told in the pages of the Sacramento Bee and Union newspapers. But perhaps the best mode of research, certainly the most enter- taining, is the actual testimony of the ballplayers themselves. Their recall of events from 50 plus years ago, even down to the most minor of details is simply astonishing. Special thanks to Kathleen Davis, Terri Barbeau, Joe Franzoia, Gil Urbano, Vince Pisani, Billy Rico, Joe Sheehan, and Frank McNamara for opening up their scrapbooks and sharing photographs. This document is by no means a complete or finished account. It is indeed a living document that requires additions, subtractions, and corrections to the ongoing narrative. Respectfully submitted, James McNamara, Class of 1947 Joseph McNamara, Class of 1983 2 1930 s the 1920’s came to a close, The Gaels of Christian Brothers High School A had built a fine tradition of baseball excellence unmatched in the Sacra- mento area.

  • Forgotten Heroes
    Forgotten Heroes: Bob “The Rope” Boyd by Center for Negro League Baseball Research Dr. Layton Revel Copyright 2020 Bob Boyd – Major Leaguer Chicago White Sox (1953) Chicago White Sox (1954) Baltimore Orioles (1957) Baltimore Orioles (1959) Robert Richard “Bob” Boyd was born on October 1, 1919 in Potts Camp, Marshall County, Mississippi to Willie and Bertha Boyd. Bob grew up in and attended high school in New Albany, Mississippi. Bob’s father Willie and Willie’s brother were reportedly very good baseball players themselves and Bob remembers watching his father and uncle play ball when he was younger. While he was still in high school, Bob’s mother passed away and he moved to Memphis, Tennessee to live with his father. Bob Boyd stood five feet ten inches tall and weighed approximately 170 pounds during his playing career. He batted from the left hand side of the plate and threw left handed. He was a pure contact hitter who was difficult to strike out. Bob’s hard line-drive hitting that to some resembled the trajectory of a rifle bullet earned him the nickname “The Rope” or “El Ropo” when he played in Latin America. This moniker was given to him by Luman Harris when Luman was the pitching coach for the Chicago White Sox. Even though he didn’t hit for a lot of power, Bob consistently hit for average. Throughout his career Bob Boyd always delivered for a batting average that was well above the .300 mark. During his Negro Bob Boyd League career which lasted from 1946 to 1950, he compiled an Chicago White Sox exemplary .363 career batting average in “league” games.
