  • They're Gone a Decade, but Vince Lloyd's, Red Mottlow's Voices Remind of Eternal Friendships
    They’re gone a decade, but Vince Lloyd’s, Red Mottlow’s voices remind of eternal friendships By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Tuesday, February 19, 2013 Both great men are gone nearly 10 years. But I still consider them my friends, present tense, because I still hear their distinctive voices loud and clear, whether in memories of being on the air, offering wise counsel or only skimming the top of their encyclopedia of stories and ex- periences. I’ve got to keep their memory alive, because gen- erations who never heard them or knew them de- serve the benefit of their output as men and all- time sportscasters. Vince Lloyd and Red Mottlow had great influence on me growing up. As I got to know them closely as their senior-citizen days ap- proached and progressed, my only regret – a big Red Mottlow pounding away at his type- one -- is not getting more decades with them in writer with some of his broadcast corporeal form. awards on the wall behind him. Longtime baseball announcer Lloyd should be a recipient of the Ford C. Frick Award, honoring a great voice of the game. Pioneering radio sports reporter Mottlow should have gotten his shot on the air at WGN. Subtracting these goals doesn’t take a shred away from their lifetime achievements. There was Lloyd’s rich baritone, hardly cracking when he bellowed “Holy Mackeral!” for a Cubs homer, intersecting with Mottlow’s staccato, rapid-fire “Red Mottlow, WCFL Sports” on mid-20th Century 50,000-watt Chicago-originated frequencies. There were kind, encouraging words amid the most political of businesses – sports media -- where negativity and a childish caste system still rule.

  • Harry's Diary' Elusive Missing Link to Black Sox Scandal
    ‘Harry’s Diary’ elusive missing link to Black Sox Scandal By Dr. David Fletcher and Paul Duffy Posted Friday, Dec. 28 One of the most significant documents regarding the Black Sox Scandal is “Harry’s Diary.” “Harry’s Diary” is a collection of two ledger and legal pads written by Harry Grabiner, Charles Comiskey’s longtime loyal confidant who served as the White Sox's General Manager from 1915- 1945. Even in partial form with key elements missing, “Harry’s Diary” is a telling and chronological insider’s outline of the events surrounding the initial investiga- tion by Comiskey of the fixing of the 1919 World Series and the events after the fix was exposed in September 1920. Grabiner (1890-1948) had been with the White Sox since 1905, when he started selling scorecards at the old 39th Street Grounds. He left the White Sox in 1946 to join Bill Veeck in Cleveland and died in October 1948. Along with chronological diary journal notations, the “Harry’s Diary” documents also included the 1918 and 1920 White Sox Team Salary List and the Player’s League Constitution and By-Laws1; the 1919 salary list was missing. Harry Grabiner later in life at Wrigley Scintillating excerpts were published by Bill Veeck and Field in the 1940s. Ed Linn in their 1965 book The Hustler’s Handbook (G.P. Putnam.) But an original copy of “Harry’s Diary” does not exist for baseball historians to view and try to make more sense of the Black Sox Scandal. The Hustler’s Handbook was published after Veeck had sold the White Sox for the first time in June 1961 to go “home to die” when he believed he had brain cancer.

  • At 84, Hemond Leads Nostalgia League in Stamina
    At 84, Hemond leads nostalgia league in stamina By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Monday, June 30th, 2014 CINCINNATI — The Bill Veeck apple doesn’t fall far from the tree with Roland Hemond. Here, it was a typically warm, humid early-summer night in The Queen City of America’s Rhineland. The clock kept ad- vancing on 9:30, 10, 10:30 and finally 11 p.m. at the Green Di- amond Gallery, one of the most sensational sports museums in the country. And there was Hemond, one of the most en- during baseball executives of our era, holding court without regard for time or any flagging energy on his part. Consider the scene when Hemond is 84 and doesn’t act his age. George Castle Hemond received his boot-camp training in baseball on late nights from Veeck between 1975 and 1980 in the old Bards Room at Comiskey Park or Miller’s Pub on Wabash Sreet on the other side of the Palmer House hotel, in downtown Chicago. Gabbing about baseball and life as only Baseball’s Barnum could, Veeck trained his listening party to fight sleep and start the day fresh. Hemond had no choice but to learn as his eyelids grew heavy as Veeck’s trusted White Sox general manager. Veeck would finally break up the bull sessions in the wee hours and show up at 35th and Shields promptly at 9 a.m. — expecting Hemond to do the same — to begin another business day. Some 35 years later, here is Hemond, doing his scheduled 7 p.m.

  • Eliot Asinof - Eight Men Out
    Eliot Asinof - Eight Men Out Eight Men Out The Black Sox and the 1919 World Series Eliot Asinof 1963 To Gahan and Marty "As Jackson departed from the Grand Jury room, a small boy clutched at his sleeve and tagged along, after him. "'Say it ain't so, Joe,' he pleaded. 'Say it ain't so.'" —Chicago Herald and Examiner, September 30, 1920 "The most gigantic sporting swindle in the history of America!" These headlines proclaiming the 1919 fix of the World Series startled millions of readers and focused the attention of the entire country on one of the most incredible episodes ever to be enacted in the public eye. Now, after painstaking research, Eliot Asinof has reconstructed the entire scene-by-scene story of this fantastic scandal in which eight Chicago White Sox players arranged with the nation's leading gamblers to throw the series to Cincinnati. Mr. Asinof vividly describes the tense meetings, the hitches in the conniving, the actual plays in which the Series was thrown, the Grand Jury indictment, and the famous 1921 trial. Moving behind the scenes, he perceptively examines the motives and backgrounds of the players and the conditions that made the improbable fix all too possible. Here are the anguished, guilty pitchers, Eddie Cicotte and "Lefty" Williams; the bewildered, fixed left fielder, "Shoeless" Joe Jackson; and the victimized third baseman, "Buck" Weaver. There are also deft portrayals of Charles Comiskey and Ban Johnson, as well as of deeply shocked newspapermen like Ring Lardner. The graphic picture of the American underworld which managed the fix lends eerie fascination to the book.
