  • Go-Go to Glory
    Durable Lollar found niche as White Sox anchor, run-producer By John McMurray Soft spoken and self-effacing, Sherman Lollar provided a strong defensive presence be-hind the plate during his 12 seasons with the Chicago White Sox. An All-Star catcher in seven seasons of his 18-year major-league career, Lollar won the first three American League Gold Glove awards from 1957 through 1959. Although he was not known as a power hitter, Lollar hit 155 career home runs and collected 1,415 hits. He also produced one of the White Sox’ few bright moments in the 1959 World Series apart from their Game One victory, a two-out, three-run homer that tied Game Four in the seventh inning. (Unfortunately the Sox lost that game, 5-4.) Even though Lollar played well and received awards during the 1950s, he did not receive as much national recognition as fellow catcher Yogi Berra, who won three Most Valuable Player awards. As Red Gleason wrote in The Saturday Evening Post in 1957, “It is the fate of some illustrious men to spend a career in the shadow of a contemporary. Adlai Stevenson had his Dwight Eisenhower. Lou Gehrig had his Babe Ruth. Bob Hope had his Bing Crosby. And Sherman Lollar has his Yogi Berra.” John Sherman Lollar Jr. was born on August 23, 1924, in Durham, Arkansas. His father, John Sherman Lollar Sr., had been a semipro baseball player and was a veteran of World War I. When Lollar Jr. was three years old, he moved with his family to Fayetteville, Arkansas, where his parents opened a grocery store.

  • Dino Restelli the Major League Baseball Career of Dino Restelli Was Over Before He Reached the Age of 25
    Restelli gone, but far from forgotten Former Pirates phenom much more than one-year wonder Baseball Perspectives by Fred Claire Dino Restelli The Major League Baseball career of Dino Restelli was over before he reached the age of 25. Restelli's career with the Pittsburgh Pirates had started in comet-like fashion in 1949 with a flurry of home runs. Unfortunately for Restelli, the homers faded from his performance as quickly as they arrived and he was destined for a career spent primarily in the Pacific Coast League. I became aware of Restelli as a youngster growing up in Jamestown, Ohio. "Who was this new outfielder for the Pirates who broke into the big leagues by hitting one home run after another," I wondered so many years ago. He had hit five homers in his first nine days in the big leagues after joining the Pirates in June 1949, and seven in his first 18 days. All too soon, the spurt of home runs stopped and Restelli was to hit a total of 12 for the Pirates for the season. He was back in the Minor Leagues the following season and hit only one more home run in the Major Leagues. I had forgotten about the player from so many years ago until I noted an obituary in the Sept. 11- 24 issue of Baseball America : "Dino Restelli, an outfielder who slugged 13 home runs in two stints with the Pirates, died Aug. 8 in San Carlos, Calif. He was 81." Who was this player and man who caught my attention so many baseball seasons ago? The question remained.

    HISTORY/TRADITION UCLA COACHING HISTORY ‘09 TRACK/FIELD Since 1919, the UCLA men’s track team has been successfully led by fi ve men - Harry Trotter, Elvin C. “Ducky” Drake, Jim Bush, Bob Larsen and Art Venegas. Behind these men, the Bruins have won eight National Championships, ranging from 1956 to 1988. Harry “Cap” Trotter - 1919 to 1946 Trotter started coaching the track team in 1919, the year UCLA was founded, and was called upon to coach the football team from 1920-1922. During his tenure as head track coach, Trotter produced numerous prominent track and fi eld athletes. The pride of his coaching career were sprinter Jimmy LuValle and his successor, Elvin “Ducky” Drake. Elvin C. “Ducky” Drake - 1946 to 1964 In 19 seasons under Elvin “Ducky” Drake, UCLA had a dual meet record of 107-48-0 (.690) and won one NCAA Championship and one Pac-10 title. Drake was a charter member into the UCLA Hall of Fame in 1984 and was inducted inducted into the USA Track & Field Track & Field Hall of Fame in December of 2007.
