The picturesque Bailey-Brayton Field, which seats 3,500 fans, sits on the edge of campus, just southeast of the Beasley Performing Arts Coliseum. The field opened at its current location in 1980, relocating after the Martin Stadium renovation which moved Mooberry Track to the site then occupied by the baseball field. In 1981, the already superb facility received an upgrade with the addition of an electronic scoreboard, which sits atop the left field fence. A $250,000 lighting project was completed in 1984, making Bailey Field one of the few NCAA college-owned facili- ties in the nation with lights. WSU defeated Washington 3-2 in the first night game. The “Walk of Fame” was added in 1988, which gave fans entering Bailey Field an historical look at WSU’s baseball tradition. From 1980 to 2000, the facility was known as Bailey Field. During a special rededication ceremony prior to the 2000 season, the field added the name of WSU’s all-time wins leader, skipper Chuck “Bobo” Brayton. In 2006, the addition of an indoor hitting / pitching facility was complete along with a new press box to house television and radio broadcasts. In 2010, a three-million dollar videoboard was added. In the fall of 2013, the Bailey-Brayton infield underwent a remodeling that included new logos and a FieldTurf mound. Washington State is believed to be the first school on the West Coast to have an artificial surface mound. 2 COUGAR BASEBALL COACHING STAFF 3 COACHING STAFF 2017 WASHINGTON STATE COACHING STAFF Marty LEES Head Coach 2nd Year 7 Marty Lees begins his second season at the helm of Washington State COACHING CAREER Baseball after being named the 15th head coach in program history in 2016-Present WASHINGTON STATE 2015.

I lusted after the various sports games advertised in the magazines until my mom finally relented and bought Strat-O-Matic Football for me in 1972. I got SOM’s baseball game a year later and I was hooked. I would get the new card set each year and attempt to play the in-progress season by moving the traded players around and turning ‘nameless player cards” into that year’s key rookies. I switched to APBA in the late ‘70’s because they started releasing some complete old season sets and the idea of playing with those really caught my fancy. Between then and the mid-nineties, I collected a lot of card sets.

  • Feller Still a Cleveland Star -- in Tribe Archives Hall Of
    Feller still a Cleveland star -- in Tribe archives Hall of Famer's artifacts center stage at Progressive Field exhibit By Jordan Bastian / MLB.com | @MLBastian | January 20th, 2016 CLEVELAND -- Jeremy Feador placed a manila folder on a counter and carefully flipped it open, revealing a stack of papers. The protected letter on top was from the National Baseball Hall of Fame, complete with an image of the brick building on the letterhead, notifying Bob Feller on his election in 1962. Feador, the Indians' team curator, then pulled out a Western Union telegram from beneath that letter. The small, yellow slip of paper, which included a red banner and a depiction of roses, was addressed to Feller and read: My most sincere congratulations. I am honored to go into the Hall of Fame with you. Jackie Robinson. "It's just such a neat piece of baseball history," Feador said with a smile. "To see the kind of respect between both players in a telegram like this is really neat, and kind of just an incredible piece of baseball history. You have two legendary names on this document." That telegram, along with many more just like it from a long list of historic names from baseball's past, were unearthed in the basement of the former Bob Feller Museum in Van Meter, Iowa. After the Feller museum closed more than a year ago, the Indians worked closely with Feller's son, Steve, and the city of Van Meter to determine the best way to handle the large collection of artifacts. The Indians were able to bring a large portion of the items to Cleveland, where many pieces now are on display in the Bob Feller exhibit in the stadium's Terrace Club for fans to enjoy.

  • Walk-Off Stuns Tribe After Kluber's Short Start by Jordan Bastian MLB.Com @Mlbastian ST
    Walk-off stuns Tribe after Kluber's short start By Jordan Bastian MLB.com @MLBastian ST. PETERSBURG -- Ji-Man Choi squatted and grimaced in pain upon reaching first base in the second inning for the Rays on Monday night. One of Corey Kluber's cutters tailed too far inside, striking him on the leg and ending a turbulent outing for the Tribe's ace. A swift meltdown by Kluber initiated a long night for Cleveland's bullpen, which turned in a valiant effort before Choi delivered a bruise of his own. In the ninth inning, the Rays' designated hitter drilled an offering from Indians closer Brad Hand out to right for a two-run homer that dealt the Tribe a 6-5 loss in walk-off fashion. It was a crushing conclusion to what had been a strong night for the Cleveland relief corps. "That's a lot to ask," manager Terry Francona said. "If somebody has a hiccup, you lose." With the loss, the American League Central-leading Indians made it highly improbable that they will be soaking the visitors' clubhouse at Tropicana Field with champagne this week. With its magic number trimmed to four -- thanks to a Twins loss Monday -- Cleveland can potentially clinch its third straight division title Wednesday, but the Tribe plays in the afternoon, while Minnesota plays a night game. Kluber cruised through the first four batters he faced, striking out three in that stretch before the wheels came off in the second. In a span of eight batters, the two-time AL Cy Young Award winner allowed four runs on five hits, including a two-run homer to Jake Bauers.

  • Carrasco Doing Part to Make Holidays Bright by Mandy Bell MLB.Com
    Carrasco doing part to make holidays bright By Mandy Bell MLB.com @MandyBell02 A young Carlos Carrasco spent each Christmas Eve writing the perfect letter to place under the tree so that Santa could find the wish list overnight. The following morning was filled with excitement, as Carrasco would race to the tree to see his desired toy sitting where he placed the note just hours prior. Christmas morning can be one of the most exciting times of the year for young children. But it didn't take Carrasco long to realize that not everyone was fortunate enough to celebrate the holiday by opening presents. Growing up, the Indians pitcher said he noticed a lot of people who would go out of their way to help children at all times of the year, and he made it his goal to do the same. Although his work is done year-round, the holiday season holds a special place in Carrasco's heart. Through his Carlos "Cookie" Carrasco Children's Foundation, the hurler ships toys to areas in Venezuela and the Dominican Republic to help brighten families' holidays. "I really like [to help during] the holidays, because I know that there are children who do not get toys," Carrasco said. "That's why we're there." Many of the gifts have already been sent, and almost all of the remaining toys will reach their destinations before Christmas Day. Carrasco has provided families with holiday gifts for the last few years and said he will never forget seeing the kids' faces for the first time.
