  • Gordon Nell, “Borger Bomber” ©Diamondsinthedusk.Com
    Gordon Nell, “Borger Bomber” ©DiamondsintheDusk.com In its 16-year existence, the West Texas-New Mexico League was regarded as a haven for hitters with batting averages and home runs inflated by the region’s thin dry air and undersized ball parks, like Amarillo Park (324 feet down both lines and 364 feet to center field). One player that takes full advantage of these circumstances is Gordon Nell, a hard- hitting outfielder-first baseman for the Pampa Oilers and Borger Gassers. In seven seasons playing in the West Texas-New Mexico League (WTNML), the brawny Nell averages 39 home runs, 44 doubles and 160 RBIs per year. Three times Nell will lead the WTNML in home runs and RBIs, doubles twice, while hit- ting a nifty .351 over that seven-year span. Nell’s best season comes in 1939 when he captures the triple crown with a career-high .392 batting average, 44 home runs and 189 RBIs. And just for good measure he has 60 doubles and 15 stolen bases. Starting with a Western Association home run title in his second season in 1931, Nell will be a league leader in home runs five times in his 12-year career. But, in many ways Nell is an enigma. Talented enough to be offered a contract to be- gin his career in a B-level league, he turns it down as a 21-year-old in 1929. By his second season (1931), Nell has already made it to the highest reaches of the minor leagues playing with the Minneapolis Miller of American (AA) Association.
