  • Dad's Eulogy Rev2
    Dad’s Eulogy Intro by Priest: Francis (Bud) J. Offermann III, eldest son of the late Francis (Frank) J. Offermann Jr. First and most of all I want to thank all of you – friends, family, and work colleagues for coming today to my father’s memorial service. I especially want to reach out and thank my sister Barbara Townsend, who has been an amazing tour de force organizing all of Dad’s affairs, including all of his legal cases that he was still working on, and this wonderful memorial service. Barbara thanks for your tireless work. Also, a big thanks to my brother Geoff for helping me prepare these remarks of remembrance. Finally, I also want to thank my Mom, for reminding me several times this last week, that there is no such thing as a bad short speech. Thanks Mom. Francis J. Offermann Jr. was otherwise known as Buddy by his siblings, Frank by his professional 1 colleagues, Banka by his grandchildren, and the Big O by his children. And personally for me, he was my Papa Bear. First I want to say a few words about my Dad’s upbringing. My Dad was born on August 11, 1926 to Isabelle Cole and Frank J. Offermann Sr., who was the first Democratic Sheriff in Erie County, owner of Frank J. Offermann Art Works, and one of the owners of the Buffalo Bisons baseball team. Frank and Isabelle raised three sons, Francis Jr., Paul, and Carl and one daughter, Jeanne. When my Dad was 9, his father suddenly passed away, and the boys went off to boarding school at Stella Niagara Cadet School, and then onto La Salle Military Academy.

  • An Analysis of the American Outdoor Sport Facility: Developing an Ideal Type on the Evolution of Professional Baseball and Football Structures
    AN ANALYSIS OF THE AMERICAN OUTDOOR SPORT FACILITY: DEVELOPING AN IDEAL TYPE ON THE EVOLUTION OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL AND FOOTBALL STRUCTURES DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Chad S. Seifried, B.S., M.Ed. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Donna Pastore, Advisor Professor Melvin Adelman _________________________________ Professor Janet Fink Advisor College of Education Copyright by Chad Seifried 2005 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to analyze the physical layout of the American baseball and football professional sport facility from 1850 to present and design an ideal-type appropriate for its evolution. Specifically, this study attempts to establish a logical expansion and adaptation of Bale’s Four-Stage Ideal-type on the Evolution of the Modern English Soccer Stadium appropriate for the history of professional baseball and football and that predicts future changes in American sport facilities. In essence, it is the author’s intention to provide a more coherent and comprehensive account of the evolving professional baseball and football sport facility and where it appears to be headed. This investigation concludes eight stages exist concerning the evolution of the professional baseball and football sport facility. Stages one through four primarily appeared before the beginning of the 20th century and existed as temporary structures which were small and cheaply built. Stages five and six materialize as the first permanent professional baseball and football facilities. Stage seven surfaces as a multi-purpose facility which attempted to accommodate both professional football and baseball equally.

  • 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.
