  • Negro Leaguers in Service If They Can Fight and Die on Okinawa and Guadalcanal in the South Pacific, They Can Play Baseball in America
    Issue 37 July 2015 Negro Leaguers in Service If they can fight and die on Okinawa and Guadalcanal in the South Pacific, they can play baseball in America. Baseball Commissioner AB "Happy" Chandler This edition of the Baseball in Wartime Newsletter is dedicated to all the African- American baseball players who served with the armed forces during World War II. More than 200 players from baseball’s Negro Leagues entered military service between 1941 and 1945. Some served on the home front, while others were in combat in Europe, North Africa and the Pacific. These were the days of a segregated military and life was never easy for these men, but, for some, playing baseball made the summer days a little more bearable. Willard Brown and Leon Day (the only two black players on the team) helped the OISE All-Stars win the European Theater World Series in 1945, Joe Greene helped the 92nd Infantry Division clinch the Mediterranean Theater championship the same year, Jim Zapp was on championship teams in Hawaii in 1943 and 1944, and Larry Doby, Chuck Harmon, Herb Bracken and Johnny Wright were Midwest Servicemen League all- stars in 1944. Records indicate that no professional players from the Negro Leagues lost their lives in service during WWII, but at least two semi-pro African-American ballplayers made the ultimate sacrifice. Grady Mabry died from wounds in Europe in December 1944, and Aubrey Stewart was executed by German SS troops the same month. With Brown and Day playing for the predominantly white OISE All-Stars, Calvin Medley pitching for the Fleet Marine Force team in Hawaii, and Don Smith pitching alongside former major leaguers for the Greys in England, integrated baseball made its appearance during the war years and quite possibly paved the way for the signing of Jackie Robinson.

Chicago Cubs vs. Philadelphia Phillies Each of them strike out Bill Gabler in his only three major league at bats during his brief stay with the Chicago Cubs at the end of the 1958 season. Gabler’s Eight Days in September, 1958 September 13 - Gabler is hitting .270 with 23 home runs and 90 RBIs for the Fort Worth Cats when he is named to the Texas League All-Star team. September 14 - After eight years in the minors, Gabler is one of five players from the pennant- winning Cats to have his contract purchased by Bill Gabler the Chicago Cubs ... the National League team 1958 Chicago Cubs purchases the contracts of Gabler and outfielder Chick King, and exercises its options on outfield- ers Bob Will, Frank Ernaga and infielder Jerry Kindall. Two years earlier, Will and Ernaga, both playing for Tulsa, are involved in one of the most unusal plays in Texas League history … in a game against Houston, opposing pitcher Bill Greason hits a fly ball to Ernaga in left field when the ball strikes a bird flying overhead … Ernaga catches the ball before it hits the ground and Will, play- ing centerfield, grabs the plumenting bird ... Houston manager Harry “The Hat” Walker protests that the bird should be considered a “foreign” object and that the ball can’t be legally caught … since no passport or visa papers were found on the bird, the umpires rule that Ernaga’s catch is legal.

  • Historic Day: Wisconsin's Governor, Lieutenant Governor Recalled
    March 30, 2012 Historic day: Wisconsin’s governor, lieutenant governor recalled By KIRSTEN ADSHEAD MADISON — To some, it’s a feat. For others, a frustration. But historic? Unprecedented? On that there can be no argument. The Government Accountability Board, or GAB, which oversees state elections, on Friday certified recall elections against Gov. Scott Walker, Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch and four Republican state senators. Walker is only the third governor in the nation to be recalled to an early election, following California’s Gray Davis in 2003 and North Dakota’s Lynn Frazier in 1921. Evan Mecham, of Arizona, faced a recall election in 1988, but he was impeached before it could be held. According to GAB, petitioners collected 900,939 valid signatures to recall Walker — shy of Gray’s 1.3 million. But, then, California’s population is 6.5 times greater than Wisconsin’s. “It certainly says the state (Wisconsin) is very politically engaged, the fact that so many signatures were gathered,” said national recalls expert Joshua Spivak, who writes the Recall Elections Blog. “That’s really an impressive amount.” Kleefisch is the first lieutenant governor in U.S. history to be recalled, said Spivak. And the four Senate seats solidify Wisconsin’s reputation as king of the statewide recalls. Spivak said 42 state-level recall elections have occurred in the nation’s history, and 15 of those — 36 percent — have taken place in Wisconsin in the past two years, including last summer’s nine state Senate recall elections. WHAT'S NEXT? State law requires a recall election be held the Tuesday of the sixth week after the recall is certified.
