    Records and History Old Dominion University Baseball 2009 Old Dominion University Baseball 2009 27 BUD METHENY n Jan 2, 2003 Old Dominion University and the athletic program lost a legend with the passing of Bud MethenyO and his wife Fran on the same day. Bud spent 32 years at the University from 1948 to 1980 as an instructor, basketball coach, athletic director and coach of the baseball program. Baseball was his passion, and where he made his mark. As a member of the New York Yankees from 1937 to 1946, Bud played on the 1943 World Series championship squad that stopped St. Louis. Bud started for the Yankees in the second and last game of the series. As a coach of the Monarchs, he rolled up a 423‑363‑6 record and was honored by the NCAA as the Eastern Regional coach of the year in 1963 and ‘64 and National Coach Of the Year in 1964. His Monarchs won the NCAA College Division Eastern Regional championship in 1963 and 1964 and took second in 1965. Bud not only coached baseball, but he was the men’s basketball head coach from 1948‑1965, compiling a 198‑163 record and posting 16 winning seasons. He served as the University’s athletic director from 1963‑1970. Following his retirement it was only fitting to honor Bud with the naming of the new baseball stadium in 1983 and with the adoption of the blue and white pin stripes of the Yankees on uniforms the following year, which coincides with the University’s new school colors, adopted in 1986.

By Baxter Holmes After racing in the shadows for much of the season, the Angels now find themselves in the spotlight during their American League West pennant race with the Texas Rangers. But Sunday, when the glare was upon them with a chance to sweep the New York Yankees, they blinked. Angels outfielder Peter Bourjos dropped a fly ball in the seventh inning when he lost track of it in the sun, allowing the Yankees to take the lead that Mariano Rivera held on to with his 599th save, giving the Yankees a 6-5 win at Angel Stadium. The Angels are 21/2 games behind Texas in the AL West with 16 games remaining, the next 10 of which are on the road, starting Monday with a three-game series in Oakland. "It's a play I've got to make," Bourjos said. "It was a turning point in the game, and we lost the game right there." Angels Manager Mike Scioscia wasn't too hard on the 24-year-old, who has been an excellent outfielder for the Angels this season but missed that ball and overran one in the fourth that Eric Chavez turned into a double. "This is not an easy outfield with the wind and the sun, and that ball was flying today," Scioscia said.

  • A's News Clips, Wednesday, April 27, 2011 Brandon Mccarthy
    A’s News Clips, Wednesday, April 27, 2011 Brandon McCarthy, Oakland A's offense struggle in loss to Los Angeles Angels By Joe Stiglich, Oakland Tribune ANAHEIM -- A's starter Brandon McCarthy was left in long enough to allow 14 hits Tuesday night against the Los Angeles Angels. Some were dinks. Some were well-struck. They all hurt, and the Angels handed the A's an 8-3 defeat in front of 37,228 fans at Angel Stadium. That clinched the three-game series for Los Angeles and assured the A's a losing record on their seven-game road trip against American League West foes. After Jered Weaver shut them out Monday, it appeared the A's were getting their easiest assignment of the series against rookie right-hander Tyler Chatwood. The A's scraped together just six hits. After taking the lead on Conor Jackson's two-run homer in the third, the A's didn't notch another hit until Kevin Kouzmanoff's double with two outs in the ninth. "It's just one of those things we've got to put behind us and try to salvage the series," Jackson said. The A's will try to avoid a three-game sweep Wednesday against former Athletic Dan Haren, who brings a 4-1 record and 1.46 ERA into the game. McCarthy came in with a 2.10 ERA. He gave up 14 hits in 51/3 innings and left with the A's trailing 7-3. It was the most hits allowed by an A's starter since Barry Zito surrendered 15 in a July 8, 2003, game against Tampa Bay.
