This beat last year’s total of 191!!! 3 Porter Baseball Newsletter ISSUE 13 HOLIDAY- 2013 WHERE ARE THEY NOW?? He’s back! Porter Baseball’s own Ron Coomer has been announced as the new analyst for WGN Cubs Radio broadcasts. He will partner with long time play by play announcer Pat Hughes. According to MLB.com, Coomer received a 2 year contract. Ron had been a finalist along with another former Cub Todd Hollandsworth to replace Keith Moreland in the radio booth. Recently we printed an article on Ron in issue # 8 earlier this year. We thought it appropriate to reprint it. --------------------------------------------------------------------- After graduating from LTHS in 84’ Ron went to Taft College in California and continued playing baseball. Coomer was drafted by the Oakland Athletics in the 14th round of the 1987 amateur draft. He was signed as a free agent by the White Sox in 1991 and then was traded to the LA Dodgers in 1993. In 1995, Coomer was traded to the Minnesota Twins for Mark Guthrie and Kevin Tapani. Ron spent 5 seasons with the Twins, with whom he made the All-Star team in 1999. In 2001 Coomer signed with the Chicago Cubs. He then signed a one-year deal with the New York Yankees in 2002 and finally returned to the Dodgers in 2003. He retired from baseball in 2003. In 9 years he played 911 games and has a career BA of .274. He signed with Fox Chicago and then Fox Sports North in Minneapolis broadcasting Twins games. In 2010-11 he won 3 Emmy awards for his work on Fox. He says;”it wasn’t a SICA Conference championship but it was great to be recognized for my work…..” He continues with that work today broadcasting 120 games for Fox. He also has a daily radio show on 96.3 KTW in the afternoon in Minneapolis. He is also Sales/Marketing Manager for BIG Athletics. In his own words, “my life is very busy and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I still get paid to go to the ballpark…….this is my 24th season in pro ball and it’s been a real privilege to do what you love”. He has some great memories of when he wore the Porter uniform. Ron was a part of the 1984 team that finished 32-5 and advanced to the IHSA state tournament in Springfield. “We had a great season. The regional tourney will always be a memory because of the way we won it. We came back against Joliet West in the last inning to tie that game with 2 outs and went on to win in extra- innings and then beating Providence in the championship game was just unreal. My friendships with my teammates, Coaches Hall and Clyde Odle will always be some of my best memories I’ve had in the game.” His relationship with former Porter Head Coach Jim Hall is special to him. “I can’t put into words the impact Coach Hall has had on my life and my career. He has seen the ups and downs. He is one of my best friends and for sure would not be where I am today if it weren’t for Coach Hall and his family”. Coach Hall says of Ron, “He led our team to conference, regional, and sectional championships and downstate. He added, “I’ve never seen a player have a bigger impact on a team with his leadership traits”. Ron has always been there for the Porter program and his desire to see it successful continues today. He has these words to say to all of those players in our program today. “I have been in baseball all of my life. The building blocks for all of my success in sports and broadcast- ing came from home. I think my motto in life has been, “I just don’t take no for an answer. If you want something bad enough, GO GET IT!” Finally, he wants to say this. “To Coach Dobson, Bob Meader, Rollie Bolattino, Dick Dystrup (all former LTHS teachers and coaches) and all of the teachers and coaches who helped me along the way in Lockport….THANK YOU!!!!” CONGRATULATIONS RON…WELCOME HOME!!! 4 Porter Baseball Newsletter ISSUE 13 HOLIDAY- 2013 Porters head coach Andy Satunas will be speaking at the Illinois High School Baseball Coaches Association annual clinic on Saturday, January 25th at 1:20 pm.

    The Cubs Win the World Series!

    Can’t-miss listening is Pat Hughes’ ‘The Cubs Win the World Series!’ CD By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Monday, January 2, 2017 What better way for Pat Hughes to honor his own achievement by reminding listeners on his new CD he’s the first Cubs broadcaster to say the memorable words, “The Cubs win the World Series.” Hughes’ broadcast on 670-The Score was the only Chi- cago version, radio or TV, of the hyper-historic early hours of Nov. 3, 2016 in Cleveland. Radio was still in the Marconi experimental stage in 1908, the last time the Cubs won the World Series. Baseball was not broadcast on radio until 1921. The five World Series the Cubs played in the radio era – 1929, 1932, 1935, 1938 and 1945 – would not have had classic announc- ers like Bob Elson claiming a Cubs victory. Given the unbroken drumbeat of championship fail- ure, there never has been a season tribute record or CD for Cubs radio calls. The “Great Moments in Cubs Pat Hughes was a one-man gang in History” record was produced in the off-season of producing and starring in “The Cubs 1970-71 by Jack Brickhouse and sidekick Jack Rosen- Win the World Series!” CD. berg. But without a World Series title, the commemo- ration featured highlights of the near-miss 1969-70 seasons, tapped the WGN archives for older calls and backtracked to re-creations of plays as far back as the 1930s.

    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent. It is the fi rst stat line of its kind in Rockies franchise history. Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig is the only player in history to post such a line in four seasons (1927-28, 30-31).

    SABR 45 Rolls Into Chicago Palmer House Hilton June 24-28 By David J. Fletcher, CBM President Posted Monday, June 22, 2015 The Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) — the most prominent organization dedicated to fostering the research and history of baseball — is coming to Chicago this week. Starting on Wednesday, the 45th SABR national conference will feature top speakers from around the baseball world — front office executives, players, managers, scouts, broad- casters, writers, and analysts — plus panel discussions on the Cubs, White Sox, the Negro Leagues, women in baseball, and baseball broadcasting.

In 1977, SABR Member Bill James, coined the word “Sabermetrics” as "the search for objective knowledge about baseball" and he was eventually was hired by the Boston Red Sox in 2002 as a special advisor. In Boston, James influenced current Cubs President Theo Epstein when he was with the Red Sox. Sabermetrics got further popularized by the 2011 film “Moneyball” starring Brad Pitt about Oakland A’s GM Billy Beane's use of evidence-based sabermetrics to assemble a competitive baseball team in a low revenue market based on Michael Lewis' 2003 book of the same name. SABR was established in Cooperstown, New York, in August 1971 by sportswriter Bob Davids and others.

    Impressionist Grote Granted His Freedom to Creatively Begin, End

    Impressionist Grote granted his freedom to creatively begin, end Cubs broadcasts By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Wednesday, August 16, 2017 Sweet Lou as channeled by Mark Grote, being asked how he’d think Grote would have handled a pre-game show with him daily: “He…he asks the questions and we give the answers…He asks about Murton, he asks about DeRosa. And that’s it. And we go home. What would you like me to say?” Lou Piniella is retired, comfortably en- sconced in his native Tampa, watching the Cubs from afar trying to make it back -to-back world championships instead of just back-to-back three-and-out playoff appearances in his managerial day. But Mark Grote was busy covering both Piniella’s Cubs and the more successful versions piloted by Joe Maddon. That gives him the perspective often lacking when teams and/or stations bring a tal- ent in from out-of-town. Grote grew up in Mark Grote at the Ron Santo statue outside Wrigley Field. Like Santo, Grote brings a humorous northwest suburban Itasca, saw some touch to the Cubs radio booth. winning and a lot of lesser Cubs teams as a fan, farmed himself out to central Illi- nois for broadcast seasoning and has been rewarded with one of the most high-profile non-play-by-play baseball radio jobs in the country. Better yet, he is given creative freedom in his third season hosting the Cubs’ pre- and post-game shows, in 2015 on WBBM Newsradio 78 and now on AM 670 The Score.
