  • A Boy of Summer
    A Boy of Summer Andrew Paul Mele “Every man carries within himself a world made up of all that he has seen and loved, and it is to this world that he returns incessantly.” —Francois-Rene de Chateaubriand, French Author and Diplomat, 1768 - 1848 “Those fans in Brooklyn were something. They were just about on the roster!” —Kirby Higbe, Pitcher, Brooklyn Dodgers, 1941-1947 The summer passed swiftly. After the initial shock of his father’s heart at- tack in the spring, the boy and his family settled into an uneasy routine of medication and walks and having his father around the house all the time. Robert sometimes felt guilty about his own feelings. His father’s convalescence enabled them to spend more time together than had been possible before, and for that the boy was grateful. It was baseball and the Brooklyn Dodgers that established the link between father and son, and through that summer of 1955, both were able to revel in the successes of the ball club. They had gotten off to a rip-roaring start by win- ning the first ten games they played, then after losing two out of three to the Giants, they won another eleven to go 22 and 2 to open the season. Robert and his dad had gone to Ebbets Field for the second game of that Giant series. It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon and they weren’t disap- 92 Aethlon XXIII:2 / Spring 2006 pointed, neither in the excitement that invariably comes with a battle between those two rivals, nor the outcome; the Dodgers winning the game 3-1.

  • Mobile Baseball, 1951-1962
    Transcribed Pages from the Charles Dickson Papers Box 3 Folder 5: Mobile Baseball 1951-1962 356. Mobile Register April 4 – 1951 Boston Braves vs. Brooklyn Dodgers In the only major league exhibition game carded at Mobile this season, the two National League clubs waged a three-hour-and-five-minute marathon that saw 18 hits, 18 runs, three errors, and 20 free tickets to first by a battery of nine pitchers. The final result of the game was a score of 10 to 8 in favor of “Lippy” Leo Durocher’s Brooklyn Dodgers against Billy Southworth’s Boston Braves. The Mobile fans had the pleasure of seeing Eddie Stanky in action on second base for the Brooklyn Dodgers. (TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE: SEVERAL INDEPENDENT SOURCES CONFIRMED THAT DUROCHER WAS NOT THE MANAGER OF THE DODGERS IN 1951; THE DODGERS WERE MANAGED BY CHUCK DRESSEN. DUROCHER WAS THEN MANAGER OF THE NEW YORK GIANTS) Clyde King King’s contract purchased from Montreal could help the Brooklyn Dodgers considerably. Clyde King is not exactly a newcomer to the Dodgers. He appeared on the team as a left- handed pitcher in 1944, 1945, and 1949, but lacked the required speed. He’s smart, though, and has control. King formerly played with the Mobile Bears. April 5 – 1951 John Hall Hall will be back with the Mobile Bears during the 1951 season after three seasons. Few fans realize that in the fall of 1947, Branch Rickey could have sold Hall for exactly $100,000. That was the offering price of the young rookie who came out of nowhere to set the Southern Assn.

  • December 13, 1954 ''Dodgers Dealing'
    December 13, 1954 Dodgers Dealing The Brooklyn Dodgers announce the signing of 18-year-old left-handed pitcher Sanford (Sandy) Koufax as a bonus player from the University of Cincinnati for an estimated $20,000. As a bonus player, Koufax is required to stay on Brooklyn’s major league roster for the next two seasons ... the Brooklyn-born Koufax is told to report to the Dodger spring training camp at Vero Beach the following spring ... Ko- ufax was 4-0 with 58 strikeouts in 30 innings for the University of Cincinnati freshman team the previous spring. The Dodgers also announce that they Sandy Koufax have sold third baseman Billy Cox University of Cincinnati (.235-2-17) and pitcher Preacher Roe (3-4, 5.00) to the Baltimore Orioles for $55,000 in cash and two mi- nor league players from their San Antonio farm club - pitcher John Jancse (13-4, 3.03)and infielder Harry Schwegman (.253-4-44). Around Baseball: The New York Giants announce that Hank Thompson, the team’s starting third base- man for the past two years, has signed for $20,000 and pitchers Alan Konikowski and Charley Fowler have been sold to the Minneapolis Millers of the American Association. The New York Yankees sign veteran infielder and former Marine Captain Jerry Coleman for the same salary despite a sub-par 1954 season where he hits .214 with three home runs and 21 RBIs. Acquired from the Chicago Cubs on Sep- tember 30, six-time all-star and seven- time National League home run leader Ralph Kiner takes a “hefty” pay cut when he signs with the Cleveland Indians for $40,000 ..

  • Atlanta Braves Clippings Thursday, November 12, 2015 Braves.Com
    Atlanta Braves Clippings Thursday, November 12, 2015 Braves.com Braves open to talks about Simmons By Mark Bowman / MLB.com | @mlbbowman | 12:19 AM ET BOCA RATON, Fla. -- The Braves are listening to some clubs that have shown interest in Andrelton Simmons, but this does not mean they are actively shopping the young shortstop, who is widely considered one of the game's top defensive assets. Multiple sources confirmed that the Braves have discussed Simmons during this week's General Managers Meetings, but although talks are seemingly ongoing with at least one club, a deal did not seem to be imminent late Wednesday night. Simmons is a multiple Gold Glove Award winner who has been described by general manager John Coppolella as the "best defensive player in the history of the game." His value is enhanced by the fact that he is under contract through the 2020 season. Though the Braves do not necessarily want to part ways with Simmons, they recognize that he is one of the few chips they could use to net a big return, one that could provide them the significant offensive piece they need. Thus they are expected to continue listening to offers. Pierzynski to return to Braves on 1-year deal By Mark Bowman / MLB.com | @mlbbowman | November 11th, 2015 BOCA RATON, Fla. -- The Braves feared that the success A.J. Pierzynski had in 2015 would lead him to agree to a more-lucrative deal elsewhere. But before seeing how high his price might go, Pierzynski agreed to return to Atlanta on Wednesday Multiple Major League sources confirmed Pierzynski has agreed to a one-year deal that is pending a physical exam.
