  • Conservation Corner by Corinne Peterson Pocahontas County Naturalist
    Conservation Corner By Corinne Peterson Pocahontas County Naturalist May 25, 2016 Spring is flying by! High above the nodding and blooming violet wildflowers, another small miracle of spring has arrived to spend the summer on our farm. Think color, nest, song, and baseball. If you guessed our summer visitors are a pair of Baltimore Orioles, you’re right. Or, as Edgar Fawcett described them, “a scrap of sunset with a voice.” Baltimore Orioles, Icterus galbula, are named for the Old World family Oriolidae, but though similar in looks they are not closely related. Instead, Baltimore Orioles are members of the Icteridae family of blackbirds and meadowlarks, medium-sized songbirds with thick necks, long legs, and the long, thick-based, pointed bills of all blackbirds that correspond to their diet of fruit, nectar, and insects. Baltimore Orioles are specifically named after the black and orange coat-of-arms of England’s Baltimore family. Adult males are the most flamboyant with their flame orange breast, solid black head, and one white wing bar. Females and immature males, meanwhile, have a yellow-orange breast, grayish head, and two white wing bars. Baltimore Orioles are known for their tightly woven hanging nests anchored high in the tree branches. Females weave the sock-like nest in three layers from materials such as grass, grapevine bark, wool, horsehair, twine, fishing line, or recycled materials from last year’s nest. Males don’t do any actual weaving but may occasionally help gather materials. Baltimore Orioles are also known for their song – a rich, whistling melody that may be heard echoing across the tops of leafy deciduous trees.

  • Absolute Affirmation in La Russa HOF Induction
    Absolute affirmation in La Russa HOF induction By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Tuesday, July 22nd, 2014 When Tony La Russa delivers his Hall of Fame acceptance speech in Cooperstown, he may experience his most relaxed moment of the past 35 years, in contrast to the butterflies and emotion felt by many inductees as they speak. If he still has a shred of doubt, if in the corner of his mind he still has a bit of insecurity over whether his baseball persona has been accepted, La Russa’s enshrinement should counter that once and for all. It’s the ultimate affirmation he’s a base- ball 1 percenter, square among the game’s elite. I bring this up because through the decades, catching La Russa smile while managing the Sox, Athletics and Cardinals George Castle was a challenge. Most of it was his trademark intensity and concentration while running a game. But a little bit was a desire to prove himself to doubters, never forgetting his was a 34-year-old rookie manager without portfolio pro- moted by a cost-conscious Bill Veeck to run a laggard Sox franchise in 1979. La Russa accomplished a lot in his seven seasons at the Sox helm. He made himself into a marketable manager, given his quick re-employment with the Athletics after Hawk Harrelson fired him in a move Jerry Reinsdorf regrets to this day he didn’t block with his chairman’s powers. Yet he faced as many brickbats as bouquets in his South Side run, the fans seem- ingly never satisfied with his Harry Caray interviews Tony La Russa in 1981.

  • Ejection Patterns
    Ejections Through the Years and the Impact of Expanded Replay Ejections are a fascinating part of baseball and some have led to memorable confrontations, several of which are readily accessible in various electronic archives. Perhaps surprisingly, reliable information on ejections has been available only sporadically and there are many conflicting numbers in both print and on-line for even the most basic data such as the number of times a given player, manager or umpire was involved. The first comprehensive compilation of ejection data was carried out over many years by the late Doug Pappas, a tireless researcher in many areas of baseball, including economic analyses of the game. He not only amassed the details of over 11,000 ejections, he also lobbied intensely to have ejection information become a standard part of the daily box scores. He was successful in that effort and we have him to thank for something we now take for granted. After Doug’s passing, his ejection files made their way to Retrosheet where they were maintained and updated by the late David Vincent who expanded the database to over 15,000 events. In 2015, David used the expanded data in the Retrosheet files as the basis for an article which provided some fine background on the history of ejections along with many interesting anecdotes about especially unusual occurrences ((https://www.retrosheet.org/Research/VincentD/EjectionsHistory.pdf). Among other things, David noted that ejections only began in 1889 after a rule change giving umpires the authority to remove players, managers, and coaches as necessary. Prior to that time, offensive actions could only be punished by monetary fines.
