  • 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.

These rules have been distributed to members of the Roy Hobbs Umpires Association. Note II: These rules adaptations apply directly to Open, Veterans, Masters, Legends & Classics age divisions, with further adaptations for Vintage, Timeless, Forever Young and Family ties divisions, which are listed separately as needed. Note III: The Roy Hobbs’ rules amplifications, exceptions and adaptations, updated as of June 1, 2017, supersede any other written copy of Roy Hobbs Rules. Note IV: In case of protest, the Official Rules of Baseball, supplemented by Jaska-Roder’s “The Rules of Professional Baseball: A Comprehensive Interpretation”, will be the basis of rules decisions. u 1.0 Rule interpretations, addendums 1.01 Strike zone: RHBB encourages umpires to call a “full” strike zone as described in Official Rules of Baseball: “. that area over home plate, the upper limit of which is a horizontal line at the midpoint between the top of the shoulders and the top of the uniform pants, and the lower level is a line at the hollow beneath the kneecap. The Strike Zone shall be determined from the batter’s stance as the batter is prepared to swing at a pitched ball.” RHBB notes: 1) Over home plate is strictly a judgment call for each umpire.

  • First and Third
    Cutoffs and Relays • Every player on the field, including the pitcher, has a responsibility and a place to be on every cutoff and relay situation. • The voice commands we use are: We will not say anything if we want the ball to come through to the base we are directing to – we will say the number of the base that we wants the ball “cut and relayed” to (2-2-2,3-3-3,4-4-4) • “Cut” means “cut the ball” and “control the play” • The catcher will direct the play as it develops to home plate. • The third baseman will direct the play as it develops to third base. • On a double, possible triple, the trail infielder will direct the play for the lead infielder. • We want the outfielders to make longer throw and “hit the first cutoff man in the chest.” • Infielders STOP moving when the outfielder picks up the ball. We want the outfielder to throw to a stationary target: open and give with good throws. NEVER jump or short hop relay throw. • All sure doubles, possible triples, with nobody on first base, we line up with a double cut to third. • All SURE doubles, possible triples, with nobody on first base, we ine up with a double cut to home plate. • Trail infielder lines up the play and directs the play. • Infielders must know your outfielders arm strength and position yourself accordingly. • Trail infielder must position yourself to catch a high throw and/or a throw that will short hop the lead infielder so you can catch it on one bounce.

For each exercise, identify one AND ONLY ONE of our fallacies that is exhibited in that statement. GIVE A DETAILED EXPLANATION TO JUSTIFY YOUR CHOICE. 1.) "According to Joe Shlabotnik, the manager of the Waxahachie Walnuts, you should never call a hit and run play in the bottom of the ninth inning." 2.) "Are you going to major in history or are you going to major in mathematics?" 3.) "Bubba Sue is from Alabama. All girls from Alabama have two word first names." 4.) "Gosh, officer, I know I made an illegal left turn, but please don't give me a ticket. I've had a hard day, and I was just trying to get over to my aged mother's hospital room, and spend a few minutes with her before I report to my second full-time minimum-wage job, which I have to have as the sole support of my thirty-seven children and the nineteen members of my extended family who depend on me for food and shelter." 5.)

  • Mt. Airy Baseball Rules Majors: Ages 11-12
    ______________ ______________ “The idea of community . the idea of coming together. We’re still not good at that in this country. We talk about it a lot. Some politicians call it “family”. At moments of crisis we are magnificent in it. At those moments we understand community, helping one another. In baseball, you do that all the time. You can’t win it alone. You can be the best pitcher in baseball, but somebody has to get you a run to win the game. It is a community activity. You need all nine players helping one another. I love the bunt play, the idea of sacrifice. Even the word is good. Giving your self up for the whole. That’s Jeremiah. You find your own good in the good of the whole. You find your own fulfillment in the success of the community.
