Stephen Green EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS James Jackson BASEBALL COORDINATOR Chris Chilton ATHLETIC SPECIALIST Chris Chilton ATHLETIC SPECIALIST Mark Brock 2 DEKALB COUNTY BASEBALL HISTORY From the first designated hitter in major league baseball history to a pair of overall No. 1 professional draft picks, DeKalb County’s baseball history is a long and proud one. Ron Blomberg is perhaps the most famous name among DeKalb County’s elite list of baseball participants. A 1968 graduate of Druid Hills, Blomberg was the first player selected in the 1968 ma- jor league baseball draft. Blomberg played eight years in the majors with the New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox, becoming baseball’s first designated hitter and had a .293 career average. Walker product Mike Ivie followed Blomberg on the local scene two years later and was selected No. 1 in the pro baseball draft by the San Diego Padres. Henderson’s Pete Ladd (1974), Sequoyah’s David Beard (1977), Redan’s Wally Joyner (1980) and Redan’s Brandon Phillips (1999) are among the other DeKalb graduates that went on to star in professional baseball. The list of team accomplishments is equally impressive, beginning with Avondale’s state championship in 1952. Coach Lyman Howard guided the Blue Devils to the Class A crown that year, defeating Thomasville (15 -8) in the final to complete a stellar 24 -5 campaign.
