    Episode 010 – Major League Burbank (transcript) Introduction You’re listening to rememBURBANK, a podcast featuring stories from the history of Burbank, California, produced by the Burbank Public Library. 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.

  • Morton Plant, Who We Assume Either Built It Or Or It Built Either Assume We Who Plant, Morton - Man a for Named
    AUGUST / 2016 MORTON PLANT - THE MAN veryone knows Clearwater’s hospital is called Morton Plant Hospital. Many also know when, it was built 100 years ago, it was Enamed for a man - Morton Plant, who we assume either built it or donated the money to build it, but who really was he? Morton Freeman Plant was born Aug 18, 1852, outside of New Haven in Branford, Connecticut to Henry and Ellen Plant. His father was already wealthy from his railway and steamer lines. Morton was Henry’s second son. The first child lived only 17 months. His mother had consumption (now known as tuberculosis) from the time Morton was born. During the winter, they would move south to Jacksonville, Florida and other southern cities for her heath. In 1862, coincidentally during the Civil War, Plant’s mother died. He was only ten years old. During his childhood, Plant’s father was very busy expanding his Southern Express Railroad company throughout the south. Because his father traveled all the time, Plant was basically raised by relatives. He got his first boat, a catboat, at 13 and his obsession with boats only grew over time. At 16, he was employed part-time by his father working for the Southern Express Company. Later in life he would become its Chairman of the Board. He graduated from the Russell Military School, in New Haven where his love of sailing intensified. His father married Miss Margaret Loughman, a New Yorker of Irish descent. Plant and his new step-mother did not see eye-to-eye and since he was 21, Plant didn’t feel a need for a new mother and kept his distance.
