  • Al Brancato This Article Was Written by David E
    Al Brancato This article was written by David E. Skelton The fractured skull Philadelphia Athletics shortstop Skeeter Newsome suffered on April 9, 1938 left a gaping hole in the club’s defense. Ten players, including Newsome after he recovered, attempted to fill the void through the 1939 season. One was Al Brancato, a 20- year-old September call-up from Class-A ball who had never played shortstop professionally. Enticed by the youngster’s cannon right arm, Athletics manager Connie Mack moved him from third base to short in 1940. On June 21, after watching Brancato retire Chicago White Sox great Luke Appling on a hard-hit grounder, Mack exclaimed, “There’s no telling how good that boy is going to be.”1 Though no one in the organization expected the diminutive (5-feet-nine and 188 pounds) Philadelphia native’s offense to cause fans to forget former Athletics infield greats Home Run Baker or Eddie Collins, the club was satisfied that Brancato could fill in defensively. “You keep on fielding the way you are and I’ll do the worrying about your hitting,” Mack told Brancato in May 1941.2 Ironically, the youngster’s defensive skills would fail him before the season ended. In September, as the club spiraled to its eighth straight losing season, “baseball’s grand old gentleman” lashed out. “The infielders—[Benny] McCoy, Brancato and [Pete] Suder—are terrible,” Mack grumbled. “They have hit bottom. Suder is so slow it is painful to watch him; Brancato is erratic and McCoy is—oh, he’s just McCoy, that’s all.” 3 After the season ended Brancato enlisted in the US Navy following the country’s entry into the Second World War.

    ~CityWatch' is CTA System Bonus By Jeff Stern Chicago has an extra public service asset that reaches beyond transit, although transit is the reason it exists. You might call it a "round-the-clock com- munity alarm system" extending to every street and right-of-way that a CTA bus or train travels. "Alerts" are frequent as CTA bus operators and motormen get on the radiophone to report incidents on their routes which may warrant an emergency re- sponse from other city agencies. While "lookout" duty is not prescribed in the oper- ating rulebook, it is exercised continuously, demon- strating the outstanding sense of community responsi- bility that the CTA "volunteers" possess. The CTA Control Center in the Merchandise Mart has direct flip-a-switch contact with police and fire de- partments, city and state highway authorities and other service agencies. Alerts can be relayed to them almost instantaneously, giving extra assurance to citizens that help will come quickly when they need it. Recently, an operator on Lake Shore Drive called the Control Center to report that a plane approaching Meigs Field had fallen into Lake Michigan. It turned out that this was the first call to be relayed to the fire department about this accident. In another demonstration of concern, the operator of a 67th Street bus saw a woman who was trying to cross the street get hit by a truck. He immediately called the Control Center to send a fire ambulance to the scene. (Continued Page 2) Here's how C'TA's additional community service works.

We appreciate your willingness to help. In the voters packet you will find the official ballot, an example ballot, and the nominee biographies: 1. The official ballot is what you return to us. Please return to us no later than Mon- day, February 11. 2. The example ballot’s purpose is to demonstrate the balloting rules. Obviously the names on the example ballot are not the nominee names. That was done to prevent you from being biased by the rankings you see there. 3. Each nominee has a profile in the biography packet. Some are more detailed than others and reflect what we received from the institutions and/or obtained in our own research. The ballot instructions are somewhat detailed, so be sure to read the directions at the top of the official ballot. Use the example ballot as a reference. Please try to consider the nominees based on their collegiate careers. In many cases nominees have gone on to professional careers but keep the focus on his college career as a player and/or coach. The Veterans (pre-1947) nominees often lack biographical details relative to those in the post-1947 categories. In those cases, the criteria may take on a broader spectrum to include the impact they had on the game/history of college baseball, etc.
