JOHN SEWELL SCHOLARSHIP John Sewell was a cousin of Joe Sewell who was dedicated to the game of baseball and a positive influence on young people. After a successful business career, John spent almost all of his available time working with young people. He admitted his greatest weakness in life by saying, “I just can’t say no to a kid that wants to play ball. I’ll do anything to help him.” In 2000, John went on a mission to find his cousin’s famous bat. When it was found in Birmingham, John had the opportunity to hold it and make the connection to his famous cousin from years past. John continued to coach and be a part of youth baseball until his death in 2003. He was a resident of Coosada. His wife Billie serves on the Board.

Joe Sewell still holds the record for The Hardest Player to Strike-Out in Baseball Joe Sewell was born in Elmore County’s Titus community in 1898. Most die-hard baseball fans know of the legendary Joe Sewell. However he stood in the shadows of some of baseball’s giants in the game – Babe Ruth, and many others. He played for the and New York Yankees in his career from 1920 to 1933. Sewell was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1977 and died in Mobile in 1990. Joe Sewell still owns two of ’s records, records which most fans of the game say will never be broken. He holds the lifetime record for fewest during his 14 year pro career – 114 in 7,132 games. Sewell holds the single season record for fewest strikeouts at bat of just three strikeouts in 640 games in 1930 and 1932. A left handed hitter who threw right handed, Sewell was a speedy who led the American League in fielding twice and putouts and led the league four times in assists. When it came to hitting, no one matched Joe Sewell. Few rookies then and even in today’s modern era faced a tougher assignment or more pressure than Sewell did in 1920. While Sewell was playing his first professional season in New Orleans right out of college (Alabama), Cleveland Indians hero Ray Chapman was killed by a Carl Mays’ pitch in August. When Chapman’s replacement was hurt on Labor Day, the kid from Alabama got the call and was thrust into one of the most heated pennant races ever in the American League. “Little Joe” as he was called (5’7’’), proved equal to the task, batting .329 for the rest of the season in helping the Cleveland Indians to their first American League Championship pennant. From September 13, 1922 to April 30, 1930, he played 1,103 straight games – a major league record at that time, and only surpassed by his teammate, the great Lou Gehrig. He and his younger brother, Luke Sewell, are still ranked 8th on baseball’s Most Career Hits list for brothers. Sewell used a 40-ounce bat called “Black Betsy’’ during his entire career. That bat rests now in the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame Museum in Birmingham. But for all of his athletic feats, it is the character of the man that this award seeks to emulate as well. Joe Sewell was known as a quiet man of character and conviction. During the depression, Joe was known on several occasions throughout the years to bring baseballs, gloves and bats to the kids of Elmore County. He loved the game and wanted other poor kids from the South to have a chance to learn the game and the sportsmanship that accompanied it. After retirement he spent several years coaching for the Yankees. He later was a scout for the Indians. He was head baseball coach at his alma mater, the University of Alabama, for several years leading the Tide to an SEC title in 1968. Alabama’s baseball stadium is named for him.
