  • Wildcat Baseball Highlights 23Rd in the Keepsakes Series, Originally Published April 27, 2010
    Anthony R. Crawford/K-State Keepsakes Play Ball! Wildcat Baseball Highlights 23rd in the Keepsakes series, originally published April 27, 2010 College basketball’s March (April!) Madness is over and baseball, “America’s past time,” is now in full swing! The Cats have been ranked among the top 25 teams in the country this spring continuing a rich tradition that dates back to 1897 when the Cats played their first game against a Ft. Riley team on April 7, winning 4-3. The team consisted of a mixture of students and Manhattan residents. Home games were played in City Park and the coach was H.W. Wagner who was captain of the University of Kansas team in 1896! In 1898, after hearing complaints from faculty and students that the team did not represent the college, the Regents voted to limit team membership to K-State students. Would you believe the Wildcats once played the Chicago Cubs?!?! The Cats and Cubbies took the diamond in Manhattan on April 6, 1905 when the team from Chicago won 13-0 on the way home from spring training in Arizona. Cubs who played that day included Joe Tinker, Johnny Evers, and Frank Chance who made up the legendary double play trio of “Tinker to Evers to Chance” that is part of major league baseball lore (Evers and Chance are now members of the Baseball Hall of Fame). The Cubs lost in the World Series the next year while winning in 1907 and 1908 (their last World Series win). Early firsts in the history of Cats' baseball include: 1897, first home run, by second baseman Whitelock in the school’s 4th game against Chapman High School!; May 2, 1905, 1st extra-inning game came against Friends; April 16, 1906, first no hitter by Arthur Furey against College of Emporia; won the “Topeka Conference” in 1907 believed to be the first championship by a varsity team in school history; first double header came against Kansas on June 6, 1908.

  • Jacob Fields Wade, Jr
    #A - Jacob Fields Wade, Jr. – Jake “Whistling Jake” Wade By John Fuqua References: SABR MILB Database Baseball Reference The Sporting News Detroit News Joe (Boy) Willis, Carteret County, North Carolina, Baseball Historian “Nuggets on the Diamond”, Dick Dobbins - author In the sandy soil of Carteret County, North Carolina, young boys were schooled in a tough brand of baseball. They emulated their fathers, uncles, and community leaders who held regular jobs during the week in the whaling and fishing community of Morehead City and played baseball in leagues on the weekend. The spirited local nine was tough, smart, scrappy, hard working and on occasion settled slights and disagreements with the area competition with their fists. These men played the game because they loved it. Baseball was not their occupation. It was their avocation. They shared this love with their sons. Jacob Fields Wade, Jr. was born on April 1, 1912 in Morehead City, North Carolina. His father, Jacobs Fields Wade, Sr. had moved to Carteret County in the late 1800’s from Massachusetts. He was a whaler and ship builder and moved to this Southern Coastal Community to build a life for his family. Earlier, he had married Love Styron and together they raised a family of eleven. The four boys were Rupert – who died in an accident, Charles Winfield “Wink”, Jake, and the youngest brother Ben. The daughters were Carita, Maidie, Eudora, Duella, Eleanor, Hazel, and Josephine. Jake Wade attended school at the Charles S Wallace School in Morehead City from 1918-1929. Jake played high school baseball for Wallace, where he started out as a First Baseman because of his height, the coach quickly moved him to the pitching staff as he developed into a dominant pitcher who was difficult to beat.
