I lusted after the various sports games advertised in the magazines until my mom finally relented and bought Strat-O-Matic Football for me in 1972. I got SOM’s baseball game a year later and I was hooked. I would get the new card set each year and attempt to play the in-progress season by moving the traded players around and turning ‘nameless player cards” into that year’s key rookies. I switched to APBA in the late ‘70’s because they started releasing some complete old season sets and the idea of playing with those really caught my fancy. Between then and the mid-nineties, I collected a lot of card sets.

Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Norvel Smith, dated July 29, 2002.

  • 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.

    M I N O R L E A G U E B A S E B A L L WEAR YOUR FUN © 2019. Minor League Baseball. All rights reserved. A June 2019 Dear NEW YORK-PENN LEAGUE Fans: The 2019 season is the 81st consecutive year of the NEW YORK-PENN LEAGUE – the oldest, continuously-operated CLASS A® league in professional baseball. During the 2018 season, the Mahoning Valley Scrappers (a Cleveland Indians affiliate) fought hard to win the NEW YORK-PENN LEAGUE’s PINCKNEY DIVISION with a record of 42-33 (a .560 winning percentage) and slipped past second place Auburn Doubledays (a Washington Nationals affiliate), which earned the wild card spot in the playoffs with a 41-35 record (a .539 winning percentage). The Hudson Valley Renegades (a Tampa Bay Rays affiliate) seized the McNAMARA DIVISION title with a League-best 45-30 record (a .600 winning percentage) and the Tri-City ValleyCats (a Houston Astros affiliate) topped the STEDLER DIVISION with a 42-33 record (a .560 winning percentage). The Renegades, which claimed the 2017 NEW YORK-PENN LEAGUE championship, was seeking its 3rd championship in 6 years. In the semi-finals, the Renegades and ValleyCats swept the Doubledays and Scrappers in two games. The final championship ending was exciting. In the top of the 12th inning, ValleyCat’s Alex Holderback hit a two-run game winning RBI single to take the lead 4-2. In the top of the 12th, ValleyCat’s relief pitcher Jacob Billingsley held off a bases-loaded Renegade rally to earn a save and to win the 2018 NEW YORK-PENN LEAGUE championship for the Tri-City ValleyCats.
