  • Forgotten Heroes
    Forgotten Heroes: Sam Hairston by Center for Negro League Baseball Research Dr. Layton Revel Copyright 2020 “Sam Hairston Night” – Colorado Springs (1955) “Sam Hairston Night” at the Colorado Springs Sky Sox Ball Park Sam Receives a New Car (1955) Hairston Family at Colorado Springs Ball Park “Sam Hairston Night” (front row left to right - Johnny, Sam Jr., Wife and Jerry) (1955) Samuel Harding Hairston was born on January 20, 1920 in the small town of Crawford, Lowndes County which is in the eastern part of the state of Mississippi. He was the second of thirteen children (eight boys and five girls) born to Will and Clara Hairston. Will Hairston moved his family from Crawford to the Birmingham area in 1922. The primary reason for the move was to find better work so that he could support his large family. Will became a coal miner and worked alongside Garnett Bankhead who was the father of the five Bankhead brothers who all played in the Negro Leagues. By 1930 Will had gained employment with American Cast Iron and Pipe (ACIPCO) as a laborer in their pipe shop. According to United States census records the Hairston family also lived in North Birmingham and Sayreton. Sam spent his formative years in Hooper City and attended Hooper City High School. Reportedly Sam did not finish high school and when he was 16 he told the employment office at ACIPCO that he was 18 and was given a job working for the company. According to Sam he went to work to help support the family and give his brothers and sisters the opportunity to go to school.

  • Weekly Notes 050417
    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES THURSDAY, MAY 4, 2017 DESERT BREEZE On Wednesday, Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Robbie Ray fanned 10 batters over 6.0 innings pitched in a 2-1 loss to the Washington Nationals at Nationals Park. With the 10 strikeouts, the D-backs pitching staff has now recorded at least 10 strikeouts in nine consecutive games to establish a new Major League record. The previous record of eight straight double-digit strikeout games was accomplished twice — by the Milwaukee Brewers from August 20-28, 2012, and by the Cleveland Indians from September 16-23, 2014. Arizona’s previous best was double-digit strikeouts in fi ve consecutive contests on three diff erent occasions (August 21-25, 2008; October 3, 2012-April 5, 2013; and April 16-20, 2016. Prior to yesterday’s 10-strikeout game, the D-backs had actually fanned at least 11 batters in the previous eight contests, which matched a Major League record set by Cleveland during their eight-game stretch in 2014. Arizona fanned 252 batters during the month of April, tied for the third-most in a single month in Club history, behind September/October 2015 (259) and August 2003 (256). The team also tallied 252 strikeouts in March/April 2014. Entering play today, the D-backs rank third in the Majors with 273 strikeouts, trailing only the Houston Astros (279) and the Los Angeles Dodg- ers (274). In addition, led by Ray’s 49 strikeouts, which are tied for second in the Nation- al League, D-backs starters are tied with the Boston Red Sox for fi rst in the Majors with 184 strikeouts.

  • Rookie Records Unusual Records Firsts for Foreign-Born Players Six Hits in One Nine-Inning Game
    Rookie Records Unusual Records Firsts for Foreign-Born Players Six Hits in One Nine-Inning Game Chapter 14 The interesting facts for Chapter 14 consist of rookie records, unusual records, and famous firsts for foreign-born players. Rookie Records The rookie records were obtained from the book “The SABR Baseball List & Record Book” by The Society for American Baseball Research. The criteria provided, in that book, for a player to qualify as a rookie is: From 1900 to 1970, a batter was considered a rookie if he had less than 90 previous at-bats. From 1971 to the present, a batter is considered a rookie if he had less than 130 previous at-bats. Even though the National League was founded in 1876, our records will only consider the years beginning in 1900. Most Base-On-Balls in a Season by a Rookie – Record is held by Ted Williams (1939). The record is 107 base-on-balls. Most Hits in a Season by a Rookie - Record is held by Ichiro Suzuki (2001). The record is 242 hits. Most Home Runs in a Season by a Rookie - Record is held by Mark McGwire (1987). The record is 49 home runs. Highest Batting Average in a Season by a Rookie - Record is held by Benny Kauff (1914). The record is a batting average of .370. *Joe Jackson had a .408 BA in 1911*. Before 1911, Joe had 115 at-bats which would disqualify him for consideration. Supplementary Readings for Sandlot Stats by Stanley Rothman Page 1 Highest On-Base-Percentage in a Season by a Rookie - Record is held by Benny Kauff (1914).

Baseball Career of Andy Cooper in Kansas Mark E. Eberle Wichita, Kansas. June 1928. Anticipation among baseball fans was growing as the Wichita Eagle promoted a visit by the Kansas City Monarchs, who were to play a pair of games with a local team. Much of the newspaper’s promotion centered on the return of a local player and two others who had previously played for Wichita teams. All three were now members of the famed Monarchs.1 The local player was Thomas Jefferson “T.J.” Young, who sometimes went by the nickname “T Baby.” Born in Alabama, Young was primarily a catcher who first played in Wichita for the Black Wonders in 1922. Later that spring, the team was purchased by the Monrovia Amusement Park Corporation, which had its own ballpark at the intersection of 12th and Mosley Streets (between Mosely and Meade). The Monrovians joined the Colored Western League when it reorganized later that summer and claimed the pennant in the league’s only season.
