Check out our collection of historic Burbank photos at burbankinfocus.org. Story And now for today’s story. Did you know that Burbank was once the spring training home of a major league baseball team? That’s right, from 1949 to 1952, the St. Louis Browns of the American League called home a ball park that was only a long home run from downtown Burbank – Olive Avenue Memorial Stadium. In preparation for this podcast, I poured through old microfilm from the Burbank Daily Review that is housed at our Central library. During this time in the city’s history, it was abuzz with excitement about the Brownies, as they were affectionately called, and took immense pride in their choosing Burbank as their home away from home. Some headlines from those times proclaimed: “Dinner In Honor of St. Louis Browns Draws Capacity Crowd” “The Brownies Are Here—And We Don’t Mean Walt Disney’s!!” “World Champion Cleveland Indians Play Browns Here Monday: Record Crowd Expected to Jam Memorial Field For Ball Game.” In a city that never had a professional sports team to call its own, the St. Louis Browns became just that, and the sports page had the Browns headlining nearly the entire month. At the annual welcome back dinners held for the Browns at the Olive Recreation Center, mutual admiration between the city and team was always the topic of conversation, as Burbank Mayor Floyd J.

  • Issue 41 Jan 2016
    Issue 41 Jan 2016 A s we begin a New Year, I felt it was time to look back and say, thank you, to the 73 former big league players, managers and coaches who served during World War II and are still with us. In the region of 1,300 players with major league experience (either before, during or after the war) were in the military between 1941 and 1945. Some were in the prime of their career. Others were starting their journey through the bush leagues, while others would not begin that journey until the war ended. At the beginning of the 1940s, baseball was truly America’s pastime. Major league teams drew capacity crowds on a daily basis and nearly 5,000 minor league players were fine-tuning their skills with 287 teams com- peting in 43 leagues spread across the country. But as Japan began to fulfil its territorial ambitions in the Pacif- ic and German troops swarmed through Europe at an alarming rate, those halcyon days would soon be gone as the United States began preparing to defend itself in the face of inevitable war. More than 400 play- ers in the major leagues, together with 4,000 minor leaguers, gave up their jobs, swapped flannels for military uniforms and went to war. Of the 73 former big league players, managers and coaches who are still living, the youngest is Don Hasenmayer, who turned 88 last April, and the oldest is Mike Sandlock, who turned 100 last October. What I find hard to believe, however, is how little information there is available on these heroes of our game.
