  • 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.

  • Spring Training NY Giants
    NY Giants Spring Photo Collection of C & H Training By Sam A. Christopher John D. Rockefeller Estate, Lakewood, NJ n a bright, sunny Sunday early in March 1943, more than O1,200 Lakewood area folks descended on the downtown train depot. The turnout wasn’t for the grand opening of a hotel in the winter resort, nor was it to see heavyweight-boxing champion, Joe Louis train. It was an auspicious, warm welcome for the New York Giants baseball team for their World War II spring training in 1943, 1944 and 1945 in town. What a reception – one that made headlines in the New York region sports pages. Mel Ott, Carl Hubbell, Ernie Lombardi and Joe (Ducky Wucky) Medwick, all were later enshrined in the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. I was the luckiest boy in town. A sophomore at Lakewood High School, I got to “cover” the Giants for the Lakewood Daily Times with sporadic stories, supplementing my writing the high school sports. A high point was chatting with Mel Ott in the locker room. He was the last Giant to finish cleaning up after a practice at the old John D. Rockefeller Estate, the team’s spring home. “Can I help you, son?” Ott asked. After stumbling for words I conversed with the Giants right fielder/manager. The Louisiana native was kind and gracious. His career high 511 home runs, was the record in the National League until broken by Willie Mays in 1966. Ott spent his entire 22-year base- ball career with the Giants and was the National Lea- gues leading homer hitter from 1937 until Mays came Photo Collection of C & H along.
