  • First Night Game in Heinemann Park
    A Schott From The Bleachers New Orleans Played First Night Game Here in 1936 by Arthur O. Schott Southern Association night baseball was introduced to New Orleans on Friday, May 15, 1936, as Heinemann Park, illuminated by lights measuring 7,000,000 candle power, attracted 11,149 fans for the gala occasion. This was six years after the league’s first night game was played at Little Rock on July 21, 1930. The powerful Atlanta Crackers defeated the Pelicans in the local nocturnal inaugural by a score of 11 – 5, as Alex Hooks (Atlanta first baseman) became the batting star of the evening. In five times at bat he scored three runs and obtained four base-hits (including two doubles and a home run), all of which accounted for five runs. His home run in the sixth inning was the first ever in a night game here. Although both lineups show outstanding names among organized ball performers, I feel that Tommy Henrich and Paul Richards were the most notable among those who saw service in the majors. Henrich was the local hitting star in this game with a single and two doubles. From a personal standpoint this game remains among my treasured baseball memories as I attended the contest with my father, one month before my graduation from Jesuit High School. I recall Paul Richards’ three-run homer in the final frame to ice the outcome fro the Crackers. His ability behind the plate as he called the pitches also made a lasting impression on me. Eddie Rose has a unique record in Southern Association night ball accomplishments.

A new feature is launched with this issue. From now until September, each issue will contain details of the San Antonio Service Baseball League for the corresponding month from 1945. I have always wanted to take a close look at a military baseball league season, and I could think of no better way than to include a month-by-month account in the newsletter. Each issue will bring highlights, news, standing and stats, together with in-depth player profiles. This year is the 65th anniversary of D- Day and the June issue will feature an exclusive article on baseball’s role at Normandy. If you have any stories or anecdotes about ballplayers who were at Normandy on June 6, please get in touch so we can include them. This month I can reveal the title of my forthcoming book with McFarland. Baseball’s Dead of World War II: A Roster of Professional Players Who Died in Service, draws on extensive research, and interviews with surviving family members to give the first published insight into the personal lives, baseball careers and tragic sacrifices made by 127 minor league players during World War II.

  • June BC8.5X11.Indd
    Issue # 140 NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA JUNE, 2006 Zephyrs Played Their Way Into Contention The New Orleans Zephyrs completed the month of May with a winning record (17–13) and played with more consistency as the season wore on. Having put an 11-game losing streak behind them in early May, manager Tim Foli’s team hung tough to win a marathon 24-inning game on the road in Nashville (see page 4). That win seemed to refocus the team, as they won 10 of the next 13 games, to put themselves back into contention in the Southern Division. The month of May did not begin well for the Zs. They lost the first three games of the month to extend their long losing streak to 11. On May 4, at Memphis, the Zephyrs pushed across a 9th-inning run to win, 3–2 over the Redbirds. The next night in Nashville was the 24-inning saga that overlapped two evenings. New Orleans came out on top, 5–4 in the marathon game; then they dropped the regularly scheduled game, 7–5. The Zephyrs won eight of their next nine games, including a 7–1 homestand against Fresno and Sacramento. The middle of the New Orleans lineup, anchored by Brendan Harris and Larry Broadway, was producing enough runs to win. Hot-hitting Mike Vento, before his call-up, was a consistent run Photo by Eugene Witek producer also.Meanwhile a strong bullpen, led by Jason Jason Bergmann had a scoreless streak over Bergmann, Bill Bray, Micah Bowie, Santiago Ramirez, several appearances in May and early June.

  • THE HISTORY of SMU FOOTBALL 1910S on the Morning of Sept
    OUTLOOK PLAYERS COACHES OPPONENTS REVIEW RECORDS HISTORY MEDIA THE HISTORY OF SMU FOOTBALL 1910s On the morning of Sept. 14, 1915, coach Ray Morrison held his first practice, thus marking the birth of the SMU football program. Morrison came to the school in June of 1915 when he became the coach of the University’s football, basketball, baseball and track teams, as well as an instructor of mathematics. A former All-Southern quarterback at Vanderbilt, Morrison immediately installed the passing game at SMU. A local sportswriter nicknamed the team “the Parsons” because the squad was composed primarily of theology students. SMU was a member of the Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association, which ruled that neither graduate nor transfer students were eligible to play. Therefore, the first SMU team consisted entirely of freshmen. The Mustangs played their first game Oct. 10, 1915, dropping a 43-0 decision to TCU in Fort Worth. SMU bounced back in its next game, its first at home, to defeat Hendrix College, 13-2. Morrison came to be known as “the father of the forward pass” because of his use of the passing game on first and second downs instead of as a last resort. • During the 1915 season, the Mustangs posted a record of 2-5 and scored just three touchdowns while giving up 131 points. SMU recorded the first shutout in school history with a 7-0 victory over Dallas University that year. • SMU finished the 1916 season 0-8-2 and suffered its worst loss ever, a 146-3 drubbing by Rice. The Mustangs were outscored, 455-27, by their opponents while managing ties against Austin College (0-0) and Southwestern (9-9).
