EAST TEXAS HISTORICAL ASSOCIAnON 49 RICHARD WESLEY BURNETT AND THE DALLAS EAGLES, 1948-55 b.v Larry G. Bowman In 1948, Richard Wesley Burnett attracted national attention when he purchased the Dallas Rebels of the AA Texas League for the hefty sum of S550,000.1 Although he was something of a newcomer on the national baseball scene in 1948, "Dick" Burnett was well-known in Southern minor league circles. Since 1935, Burnett had owned several different teams in Gladewater, Gainesville, and Texarkana, and in Monroe, Louisiana. He was recognized as an aggressive and innovative baseball zealot, and as a wealthy Texas oilman who possessed nearly unlimited baseball ambitions." Burnett further amazed baseball observers when he purchased the Rebels' home ballpark in Oak Cliff for an additional S265,OOO.] Burnett promptly renamed the Rebels the "Eagles" and the ballpark "Burnett Field." In a few weeks Burnett spent nearly a million dollars to gain control of the Dallas franchise, and clearly indicated he had great ambitions for his newly­ acquired minor league team.

  • Mobile Baseball, 1951-1962
    Transcribed Pages from the Charles Dickson Papers Box 3 Folder 5: Mobile Baseball 1951-1962 356. Mobile Register April 4 – 1951 Boston Braves vs. Brooklyn Dodgers In the only major league exhibition game carded at Mobile this season, the two National League clubs waged a three-hour-and-five-minute marathon that saw 18 hits, 18 runs, three errors, and 20 free tickets to first by a battery of nine pitchers. The final result of the game was a score of 10 to 8 in favor of “Lippy” Leo Durocher’s Brooklyn Dodgers against Billy Southworth’s Boston Braves. The Mobile fans had the pleasure of seeing Eddie Stanky in action on second base for the Brooklyn Dodgers. (TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE: SEVERAL INDEPENDENT SOURCES CONFIRMED THAT DUROCHER WAS NOT THE MANAGER OF THE DODGERS IN 1951; THE DODGERS WERE MANAGED BY CHUCK DRESSEN. DUROCHER WAS THEN MANAGER OF THE NEW YORK GIANTS) Clyde King King’s contract purchased from Montreal could help the Brooklyn Dodgers considerably. Clyde King is not exactly a newcomer to the Dodgers. He appeared on the team as a left- handed pitcher in 1944, 1945, and 1949, but lacked the required speed. He’s smart, though, and has control. King formerly played with the Mobile Bears. April 5 – 1951 John Hall Hall will be back with the Mobile Bears during the 1951 season after three seasons. Few fans realize that in the fall of 1947, Branch Rickey could have sold Hall for exactly $100,000. That was the offering price of the young rookie who came out of nowhere to set the Southern Assn.

  • The Texas League During the Golden Age of Sports
    1920–1929: The Texas League during the Golden Age of Sports from A Lone Star Reader Second Edition | by Kirk Bane, Chuck Swanlund, Scott Sosebee | 9781465277442 Property of Kendall Hunt Publishing 1920–1929: The Texas League during the Golden Age of Sports BILL O’NEAL ill O’Neal taught history for many years at Panola College in Carthage. In 2012, Governor Rick Perry appointed him Texas State Historian. Professor O’Neal’s Bnumerous books include Encyclopedia of Western Gunfighters (1979), The Texas League, 1888–1987: A Century of Baseball (1987), Tex Ritter: America’s Most Beloved Cowboy (1998), The Johnson County War (2004), and Reel Rangers: Texas Rangers in Movies, TV, Radio & Other Forms of Popular Culture (2008). Major League Baseball came to Texas in 1962 when the National League Houston Colt .45s (later renamed the Astros) played their inaugural season. The American League arrived in the Lone Star State ten years later with the relocation of the Washington Senators to Arlington, where they became the Texas Rangers. Prior to the arrival of the big leagues, however, the Texas League had a long and illustrious history. In this selection, O’Neal discusses the Texas League during the Roaring Twenties. Under the leadership of W. K. Stripling, Paul LaGrave, and Jake Atz, Fort Worth’s Panthers dominated the period from 1920–1925. The Dallas Steers and Wichita Falls Spudders surpassed Fort Worth in the decade’s latter years. Such legendary players as “Big Boy” Kraft, Joe Pate, Paul Wachtel, and Ike Boone thrilled Lone Star baseball fans, and from 1920–1929, the Texas League champion defeated their Southern Association rival eight times in the Dixie Series.

Despite this unremarkable record, Nahem was a remarkable Major Leaguer in many ways. He was the only Syrian and one of the few Jews in the Majors during that period. Nahem not only had a college education— a rarity among big league players at the time— but during off- seasons he also earned a law degree, which he viewed as his fallback job in case his baseball career faltered. He was also an intellectual who loved classical music and American, Russian, and French literature. He was also one of the few— and possibly the only— big league pitcher who threw exclusively overhand to left- handed batters and exclusively side- arm to right- handed hitters. In his Major League Baseball (MLB) career, he was inconsistent— occasionally brilliant, but mostly unexceptional— on the mound.

  • Negro Southern League (1920-1951)
    Negro Southern League (1920-1951) It was common practice for the teams in the league to all play a different number of games during the season. Standings are presented based on winning percentage for the entire season in “league” games only. Negro Southern League (1920) Newspaper accounts differ in the final standings of the teams that played in the Negro Southern League in 1920. Part of the difference in records reported by Southern newspapers revolved around whether or not certain forfeited games were counted or not counted in a team’s won-loss record. On September 11, 1920 The Chicago Defender reported the following Negro Southern League standings: 1920 Games Record Pct. Knoxville Giants 76 55-21 .724 Montgomery Grey Sox 86 47-39 .547 Atlanta Black Crackers 84 45-39 .536 Birmingham Black Barons 82 43-39 .524 New Orleans Caulfield Ads 82 43-39 .524 Nashville White Sox 80 40-40 .500 Jacksonville Stars 44 18-26 .409 For some explained reason, the Pensacola Giants were left out of the standings. Speculation is that it was a dropped line of type when the newspaper was put together. On September 12, 1920, the Alabama Journal of Montgomery, Alabama reported the following Negro Southern League standings: 1920 Games Record Pct. Montgomery Grey Sox 98 48-40 .545 Knoxville Giants 64 34-30 .531 New Orleans Caulfield Ads 83 44-39 .530 Birmingham Black Barons 82 43-39 .524 Atlanta Black Crackers 89 45-44 .505 Nashville White Sox 80 40-40 .500 Pensacola Giants 83 40-43 .482 Jacksonville Stars 44 18-26 .409 Notes: 1.

  • The Early Southern Association 1901 - 1926
    The Early Southern Association 1901 - 1926 Atlanta Birmingham Chattanooga Little Rock Memphis Mobile Nashville New Orleans S. Derby Gisclair Member Society for American Baseball Research The Atlanta Crackers Al Bridwell (1884 – 1969) Born in Friendship, Ohio, Bridwell served his first stint in the Southern Association with Atlanta in 1903 and was unremarkable. He posted a .196 batting average during 81 games. Bridwell made his major league debut on April 16, 1905 and played shortstop for five different teams during his eleven seasons in major league baseball (1905 – 1915) and was considered to be one of the best hitting shortstops of the Deadball Era. He ended a streak of 3,246 consecutive at-bats without a home run by hitting his first career homer of George Suggs on April 30, 1913. However, Bridwell will forever be remembered for hitting the single that began the “Merkle’s boner” rally on September 23, 1908. He returned to the Atlanta Crackers at the age of 32 in 1916, playing twelve games at shortstop, batting a respectable .325 that year. He returned in 1917 at third base (67 games) and second base (20 games) and batted .283 for the season.
