    Roy Sievers “A Hero may die, but his memory lives on” ©DiamondsintheDusk.com By BILL HASS I had missed it in the sports section and on the internet. A friend of my mentioned it to me and sent me a link to the story. On April 3 – ironically, right at the start of the 2017 baseball season – Roy Sievers died at age 90. I felt a pang of deep sadness. After all, no matter how old you get, the little kid in you expects your heroes to live for- ever. As the years passed and I didn’t see any kind of obitu- ary on Sievers, I thought perhaps he might actually do that. I knew better, of course. Sometimes reality has a way of intruding on your impossible dreams, and maybe it’s just as well. I have never been much for having heroes. Oh, there are plenty of people I have admired and some of them have done heroic things. But a hero is someone who stays constant, someone you root for no matter what, and people in sports lend themselves to that. Roy Sievers was a genuine hero for me, and, really, the only athlete I ever put in that category. Let me explain why. In the early 1950s, when I first became aware of baseball, my family lived in the northern Virginia suburbs of Wash- ington, D.C. I rooted for the Washington Senators (known to their fans as the “Nats”), to whom the adjective “downtrod- den” was constantly applied, if not invented. Prior to the 1954 season, the Nats obtained Sievers in a trade with the Baltimore Orioles, formerly the St.

    “The Royals of Sir Cedric” by Steve Treder of The Hardball Times December 21, 2004 At its inception, the most successful expansion franchise in pre-free agency baseball history didn’t impress many observers. The Kansas City Royals devoted most of their expansion draft picks to unproven young players, in distinct contrast to the approach taken by their companion A.L. expansion team, the Seattle Pilots. Take a look at the first ten choices of each club, noting each player’s age and major league experience as of the October 15, 1968 draft: Royals: Player Age ML Seasons ML Experience 1.

  • 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.

This survey appeared in twelve segments in the TIMES during May, 1977. It, in Mr. Pruett's words, "was designed to focus on the highlights of the athletic heritage of Huntsville, which has always been one of Alabama's most sports-minded cities." Sports are a part of our lives, a most important segment of popular history, and is certainly a proper subject for study by the historian.

  • Dave Elmore Named King of Baseball
    For Immediate Release November 17, 2016 Dave Elmore Named King of Baseball ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Minor League Baseball announced today that David G. Elmore, owner and founder of Elmore Sports Group, has been named the 2016 King of Baseball. The King of Baseball is a long-standing tradition in which Minor League Baseball recognizes a veteran of professional baseball for longtime dedication and service. Elmore will receive the King of Baseball Award at the Baseball Winter Meetings Banquet on Sunday, Dec. 4, at Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland. “This is a truly amazing honor to be named the King of Baseball,” said Elmore. “There is nothing I have enjoyed more than being a part of Minor League Baseball for these past 36 years and realizing the great good our teams do to bring our communities together and provide countless charitable benefits.” “Dave Elmore has had a long and illustrious career as a Minor League Baseball owner and operator, and he has served Minor League Baseball in a number of roles over the years,” said Minor League Baseball President & CEO Pat O’Conner. “He has truly earned this honor through all of his hard work and tireless efforts for the betterment of the game and it is my pleasure to present him with this award.” Elmore founded the Elmore Sports Group in 1969, which now consists of six Minor League Baseball teams, including the Colorado Springs Sky Sox, San Antonio Missions, Inland Empire 66ers, Lynchburg Hillcats, Idaho Fall Chukars and Eugene Emeralds.

  • Making Predictions As Hazardous As a Hanging Curve with Game on the Line
    Making predictions as hazardous as a hanging curve with game on the line By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Tuesday, March 19, 2013 The best advice came from a stout, cigar- chomping Runyonesque character who’d pull out a wad of $1,000 in cash in Wrigley Field’s right field bleachers in 1979. A real character who used four different names, I’m sure he was a low-level bookie- type. After watching batting practice, about a half hour before first pitch, this bloke would go downstairs to relay something over the pay phone to an information- hungry recipient. But the man of many ID’s was the wisest of us all. “Never bet on baseball,” he said. “It’s too unpredictable.” From then on, I never put money down on the grand ol’ game unless it was a “sucker bet.” Yeah, easy money from some over- confident, uninformed fool who did not have the facts you had committed to mem- ory, and thus you beat an easy mark. Even with the unpredictability quotient, trying to forecast the game’s strange Few could have predicted a Sox World Series title in 2005. But when it was within sight, Paul rhythms is too appealing.

  • Play Ball! the Seattle Pilots—Major League Baseball's First Venture In
    WashingtonHistory.org PLAY BALL! The Seattle Pilots—Major League Baseball’s First Venture in the Pacific Northwest By Kurt Schaefer COLUMBIA The Magazine of Northwest History, Summer 2000: Vol. 14, No. 2 The story of the 1969 Seattle Pilots represents one step in Seattle’s evolution into a professional sports city. The fact that the Pilots remained in the Pacific Northwest only one year graphically illustrates the difficulty of such an enterprise. The founding of the club, and its eventual relocation to Milwaukee, is a story that has numerous twists and turns. The process was begun with the best of intentions—to heighten the city’s national image, enhance the region’s economy, and solidify the city’s notion of community. By the spring of 1970 all of these hopes had been dashed. The team was gone, several of Seattle’s economic and civic leaders had fallen from grace, and a bitter taste was left in the mouths of everyone concerned. In light of the fact that the relationship between cities and major league baseball is still being debated, the Pilots’ short tenure in Seattle serves as an interesting case study. Seattle, like most major American cities, has had a shared past with baseball. This background helped establish the groundwork for bringing the major leagues to town. The city’s first organized professional club appeared in 1890. By 1919 the Seattle team had entered the Pacific Coast League (PCL) under the "Indians" banner. Until 1957 major league baseball only went as far west as St. Louis, so the PCL was the only "show" in town.

    THE MLB ALL-STAR GAME AND THE ANGELS The 2009 All-Star Game at Busch Stadium in St. Louis (Photo by MLB Photos via Getty Images Sport / Jessica Foster) • Major League Baseball and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim will hold the 2010 All-Star Game at Angel Stadium of Anaheim on July 13, 2010. The 2010 All-Star Game will be the 81st Midsummer Classic. • It will mark the third time that the Angels have hosted the All-Star Game, having also welcomed the Midsummer Classic in 1967 and 1989. • The 1967 All-Star Game was played on July 11th, with the National League winning the 15-inning, 2-1 contest, the longest Midsummer Classic (in both innings and time) in history. All three of the runs scored in the game came via solo homers. Philadelphia’s Dick Allen hit a long ball off A.L. starting pitcher Dean Chance in the second inning. Baltimore’s Brooks Robinson tied it up in the sixth inning with a blast against Fergie Jenkins. The game would remain scoreless until the 15th, when Cincinnati’s Tony Perez put the N.L. on top with a one-out homer – and ultimately earned himself All-Star Game Most Valuable Player honors – against Catfish Hunter, who was in his fifth inning of relief work. Tom Seaver pitched a score- less bottom of the 15th to secure the win for Don Drysdale.
