I Ran Into Pete Rose in Philly Airport a Couple of Months Ago
I ran into Pete Rose in Philly airport a couple of months ago. Not like he ran into Ray Fosse in the 1970 All-Star game though - because that would hurt. More about that game later. Pete was at his gate waiting for a flight to Cincinnati. (Naturally) But he was wearing a Phillies ball cap. (Interesting!). As a Canadian, I saw no need to approach him for any reason whatsoever. Canadians and Americans deal with celebrities differently. I went back to the restaurant and informed my American wife of nearby celebrity, evidently also informing the eavesdropping lady at the next table, and both of them practically dropped their forks to head over to the Cincy gate. I had actually met Rose before, as he signed baseball cards in a Vegas sport collectibles store. I remembered feeling sad for him. Which was odd, because his life has been such an incredible story - the fluky way he first got to the Majors; how he became one the greatest players ever, and still holds Major League records for games (3562), at-bats (14053), hits (4256), and singles (3215). Three World Series wins later he gets accused of betting on baseball games, including ones involving the Reds - while managing the Reds. He denies, denies....and then, 15 years later, admits to it in his biography. He got a life-time ban from baseball, and from consideration for the Hall of Fame. He was then relegated to a life of card signing, reality shows, and stunts. There were allegations of sexual relations with a minor, and he also did 5 months of jail time for failing to report income from memorabilia signings, receiving a conviction for tax evasion. -

{PDF EPUB} Holy Toledo Lessons from Bill King Renaissance Man of the Mic by Ken Korach Big League Life: Five Questions With… Oakland Athletics Broadcaster Ken Korach
Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Holy Toledo Lessons From Bill King Renaissance Man of the Mic by Ken Korach Big League Life: Five Questions with… Oakland Athletics Broadcaster Ken Korach. This is the fourth piece in a series of posts centered on life inside professional baseball. March 3 0 marks the eve of Opening Day in Major League Baseball as well as the release of my third book, a novel titled Big League Life . While a work of fiction, this story is the result of years of research about and interview with the men and women who make the “big league life” their life. Many people contributed to the realism of the characters woven into this story and one of those individuals is the subject of today’s “Five Questions with…” post, longtime Oakland Athletics broadcaster Ken Korach. The drama of a Major League Baseball game centers on the performances of athletes competing on the playing field. However, you can’t unstitch the greatest moments in baseball history from the broadcasters that are connected forever with those moments. Is the “shot heard ‘round the world” remembered as clearly today without Russ Hodges’ iconic narration? Does Sandy Koufax’s Perfect Game in 1965 resonate the same way without Vin Scully’s masterful call? Scan through baseball’s archives and you will, undoubtedly, find coupled with every moment a call made by the game’s best broadcasters. Not always beautiful, not always perfect. Each, however, honest, emotional, and timeless in its own way. Red Barber. Dave Neihaus. Ernie Harwell. Harry Kalas. The list goes on and on and it continues to grow today as history unfolds before our very eyes. -

A's News Clips, Wednesday, May 18, 2011
A’s News Clips, Wednesday, May 18, 2011 Oakland A's pound Los Angeles Angels 14-0 By Joe Stiglich, Oakland Tribune Mark Ellis has endured a season-long struggle with the bat. Then how to explain a night such as Tuesday? It all came so easily for Ellis and his A's teammates in a 14-0 stomping of the Los Angeles Angels. The run total was a season high, as was their 15 hits. The A's swept the two-game series and moved into a first-place tie with the Texas Rangers in the American League West. It's the first time the A's have occupied first since June 3 last season, when they also were deadlocked with Texas. Leading the hit parade was Ellis, the second baseman who has shined defensively but has been the invisible man in the batter's box. Sure, he collected three hits Sunday against the Chicago White Sox, but one was a bloop job and another was an infield single. And he did bring home Monday's winning run against the Angels with a fielder's-choice grounder. But he hit the ball with authority Tuesday, finishing 3 for 4 with a season-high four RBIs. That lifted his average from .194 to .210. Ellis was happiest to deliver with runners on base. "I really pride myself on doing good in that situation, and I haven't done that this year," he said. "It's nice to get a couple hits with guys in scoring position." Ellis smoked a run-scoring double off the left-field wall in the A's three-run second. -
