  • Bobby Del Greco
    Bobby Del Greco, “Pittsburgh Born & Bred” ©DiamondsintheDusk.com An excellent fielding outfielder who plays 17 seasons in profes- sional baseball, Robert George “Bobby” Del Greco is one of the first players from the highly-touted Pittsburgh Pirates farm sys- tem of the early 1950’s to make it to the major leagues. A native of Pittsburgh’s Hill District, Del Greco plays nine major league seasons with six different teams – Pittsburgh Pirates (1952, 1956), St. Louis Cardinals (1956), Chicago Cubs (1957), New York Yankees (1957-1958), Philadelphia Phillies (1960-61, 1965) and the Kansas City Athletics (1962-1963). Prior to the start of the 1950 season, Pittsburgh Hall of Famer and scout Pie Traynor finds the 17-year-old Del Greco on the sandlots of Pittsburgh and signs him for $500. Less than two years later, Del Greco will start in center field for his hometown Pirates before he turns 19 years old. As a 19-year-old rookie and the National League’s third-youngest player that season, Del Greco makes his major league debut on April 16, 1942, going 3-for-4 with a triple in a 6-to-5 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. Two days later, he again goes 3-for-4 with another triple in his first-ever game at the Pirates’ Forbes Field. On June 9, 1952, Del Greco hits his first major league home run off of Milwaukee starter Jim Wilson in the sixth inning of a 3-to-2 loss to the Braves and becomes one of only 88 players, from 1900 to 2000, to hit a home run in the major leagues prior to his 20th birthday.

  • The Glynn West Baseball Memorabilia Collection in the Words of Candy West Introduction to Glynn West Glynn West Wasn't a Famou
    The Glynn West Baseball Memorabilia Collection in the words of Candy West Introduction to Glynn West Glynn West wasn’t a famous baseball player. He wasn’t a big league manager or flashy major league executive. He certainly wasn’t an autograph seeker or collector. Glynn West was a humble, soft-spoken man who devoted his life to his family first and baseball second. It was a very close second, but family really did come first. So much so that when Charles Finley offered him the GM position in Oakland with the newly relocated A’s, Dad turned him down; he didn’t want to uproot his young family. So Dad stayed in Birmingham, at Rickwood Field, where he’d worked since 1947. His first job was changing the scoreboard, humble beginnings for a man who would go on to become The Sporting News’ Double A Executive of the Year, Birmingham’s GM, the Southern League’s VP, and Finley’s #1 pick for a franchise that would go on to win three consecutive World Series. Intro to entire collection Going through the baseball stuff in a thorough manner was never on my to-do list largely because I didn't know there was much to go through. After all, Dad wasn’t a collector by any stretch of the definition. Digging through the basement, attic, looking in closets and under beds for stuff to sell on eBay, I started to find lots of cool baseball things. Lots of cool baseball things. I started researching the things I found. With every “new” find, I hurled myself off higher and higher cliffs of obscure dusty minor league minutiae.

  • Pelicans' Longest Opening
    A Schott From The Bleachers Longest Opening Game By New Orleans Pelicans by Arthur O. Schott Member, Society For American Baseball Research When the Zephyrs concluded their 12-inning contest at Privateer Park on Friday, April 14, 1993, it prompted me to visit the archives and locate the record for the longest season opener by a New Orleans team. The old Pelicans opened the 1953 season at Rickwood Field against the Birmingham Barons of the old Southern Association, and lost a tough one by a score of 8 – 7 in 16-innings. To date this remains the record for the longest opening day game involving a New Orleans entry in organized baseball. Lou Klein and Lenny Yochim, both New Orleans natives, furnished the local talent in this game. Klein led both clubs with four hits in eight times at-bat, including a fifth inning home run into the left-field bleachers. Yochim, now a scout for the Pittsburgh Pirates, relieved Lee Anthony on the mound for the Pelicans and sustained a defeat after pitching five and one-third innings. The late Harry Martinez, then sports editor of the New Orleans States- Item, covered this game from Birmingham and reported the last inning as follows: “In the fatal 16th, big Emil Tellinger, who was the batting star for the Barons, opened with a two-bagger to center. Dave Waters attempted a sacrifice and went safe when Lenny Yochim dove for his pop fly and missed it. George Moskovich was purposely walked and Smith came through with the game-winning single that drove in John Hunton, who ran for Tellinger.” A crowd of 8,044 was in attendance that night of April 10, 1953 to witness this memorable game which lasted four hour and 36 minutes.

  • Forgotten Pittsburgh Pirates of the 1950S ©Diamondsinthedusk.Com
    Forgotten Pittsburgh Pirates of the 1950s ©DiamondsintheDusk.com One could say that the foundation for the Pittsburgh Pirates’ World Series title in 1960 has its genesis a decade earlier on July 19, 1950, when John Galbreath, a Pitts- burgh real estate mogul, becomes the team’s primary shareholder and assumes the team presidency. Four months later, on November 6, 1950, Galbreath makes what maybe is the best hire in the franchise’s modern day history when he signs Branch Rickey as the team’s general manager. Rickey, a general manager who had built dynasties in his two prior stops with the Cardinals and Dodgers, determines that the Pirates, who have had only one win- ning season (1948) over the previous four years and are headed for a last-place finish in 1950, will have to be rebuilt from the ground up with youth. In 1951, Galbreath allows Rickey to spend nearly $500,000 in bonuses to amateur prospects, yielding such Carlos Bernier, 1953 prospects as Bennie Daniels, Dick Hall, Bob Skinner, Dick Stuart and Lee Walls. Brandy Davis, 1952-53 Tom Saffell, 1950-51 Over the next couple of years dur- ing the rebuild, “The Mahatma” will trade away several popular players, Gair Allie, 1954 Curt Roberts, 1954-56 including future Hall of Famer Ralph Kiner, infielder Danny O’Connell and outfielders Wally Westlake, Gus Bell. Bill Koski, 1951 Woody Main, 1952-53 Even though Rickey isn’t around to Paul LaPalme, 1951-54 savor the World Series championship Sonny Senerchia, 1952 Cholly Naranjo, 1956 Dale Coogan, 1950 over the New York Yankees in 1960, Lauren Pepper, 1954-57 the players that he acquired by trade Paul Pettit, 1951,53 or the draft and groomed through Jim Waugh, 1952-53 the team’s extensive minor league Len Yochim, 1951,54 system, will be the foundation of the Corsairs’ first world championship team in 35 years.
