  • EBAC History – 1934-1985 from the 20Th Anniversary Brochure
    EBAC History – 1934-1985 From the 20th Anniversary brochure ELECTRIC BOAT A.C. BOOK OF SPORTS By John J. DeGange ABOUT THE AUTHOR John J. DeGange, sports editor of the New London Day, has been writing sports in this area for 30 years. His knowledge, experience and ability in addition to his close association with our activities throughout our 20-year period make him uniquely qualified to record this history. He is well known for a previous historical work, "100 Years of Harvard-Yale Rowing," written for the centennial of the Harvard-Yale Regatta in 1952. On the Sunday afternoon of March 25, 1934, a warm spring sun heralded the approach of the baseball season, but in New London sports circles there was an undercurrent of pessimism. The prospects for organizing a City Baseball league were not good. Of the six clubs that had participated the year before, two had disbanded and another proposed to cut loose and play independently. That left three teams, hardly enough to form a league. At least one more club was needed. Bleak was the picture confronting officials of the City league when they heard a grapevine report that "Ship and Engine" was thinking about going into baseball again and might be interested in joining the league. The man who would know about it, league officials were told, was a fellow named Eaton -Richard Eaton. The report of Ship and Engine's baseball revival came under the heading of news that was important if true. It had been many years since the company was represented in industrial or community athletics.

  • With a Combination of Speed, Daring and Brains, Ty Cobb Is Surely the Terror of the Opposing Infield.” – 1912 Hassan Cigarettes Tobacco Card
    Ty Cobb By Jimmy Keenan “With a combination of speed, daring and brains, Ty Cobb is surely the terror of the opposing infield.” – 1912 Hassan Cigarettes tobacco card. “Rogers Hornsby could run like anything but not like this kid. Ty Cobb was the fastest I ever saw for being sensational on the bases." – Hall of Fame manager Casey Stengel. 1 “The Babe was a great ballplayer, sure, but Ty Cobb was even greater. Babe Ruth could knock your brains out, but Cobb would drive you crazy." – Hall of Fame outfielder Tris Speaker. 2 "The greatness of Ty Cobb was something that had to be seen, and to see him was to remember him forever." – Hall of Fame first baseman George Sisler. 3 Ty Cobb made his mark in baseball during the first three decades of the 20 th century. To this day, the mere mention of his name resonates baseball excellence. Cobb was credited with setting 90 individual records during his 24-year major league career. He played with the Detroit Tigers from (1905- 26) and the Philadelphia A's from (1927-28). He was the player-manager of the Tigers from 1921-26. Cobb hit over .400 three times (1911, 1912, 1922). He currently holds the highest lifetime batting average (.366) of any major league player. During his tenure in the bigs, he was credited with 12 American League batting titles, nine of them in a row. An error regarding Cobb’s 1910 hitting statistics was discovered in 1978. This correction led to him losing a point on his lifetime average as well as the 1910 batting crown.

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.
