  • The Legends in Our Time
    VOL. 1, NO.4 SEPTeMBER 1, 2011 The Lee County Legend KEEPING THE MEMORIES ALIVE The Legends In Our Time Who are the Lee County sports legends? The list of outstanding Lee County athletes is long. Five reached legendary status! Each reached the top rung of the ladder of success in their respective sport. Ben Hur native, Walker (Foots) Cress (1917-1996), played major league baseball. According to reliable sources, Walker went from Pennington High School to Hiawassee College to LSU. For his major league experience, Walker, a six foot, five inch right hander, pitched for the Cincinnati Reds in 1948 and 1949. Lee County has produced a pro basketball player, James (Jim) (Keok) Palmer, of Keokee who played in the NBA. Jim, a graduate of Keokee High, played his college ball at the University of Dayton. Drafted twelfth overall by the St. Louis Hawks, he played for the Cincinnati Royals (1958-59) and the New York Knicks (1959-1961). Another Lee County born major league baseball player is James (Jim) Pankovits. Jim was born in Pennington Gap in 1955. He played for the Houston Astros for five seasons (1984- 1988) and the 1990 Boston Red Sox. In 2011 he is manager of the Jackson Generals of the Seattle Mariners farm system. Lee County’s Barry (The Pennington Pounder) Audia is the most successful boxer from these parts. Born in Pennington Gap in 1958, Barry’s amateur record is superb and he stood out even more as a professional fighter. In his pro career from 1980-1987, he was an astounding 20-0 in his first 20 pro fights.

  • Coalfield Baseball...Part 1
    VOL. 1, NO. 5 OCTOBER 2011 The Lee County Legend KEEPING THE MEMORIES ALIVE Coalfield Baseball...Part 1 In this issue of the Lee County Legend and the next, we are highlighting “Coalfield Baseball”. Looking at a map of the area, you can get a snapshot of the coal field towns that influenced Lee County baseball. If you draw a line from Pennington Gap to Harlan to Hazard to Williamson to Bluefield, then back to Pennington Gap, you will encompass coal mining baseball communities of the Appalachian Mountains. A few, like, Chevrolet, Cumberland, Pikeville, Elkhorn City, Welch, Haysi, Grundy, Hurley, Dante, Clintwood, St. Paul, Coeburn, Norton, Appalachia, Dorchester, Big Stone Gap, Stonega, Keokee, Dryden and St. Charles stand out in our memories. For baseball in this mountainous region, ball fields had to be carved out to be as flat as possible and according to Don Williams, the list of ground rules was always long and usually funny. Coal region ball fields were distinctive for sure, but, “Coalfield Baseball” is more than the places it was played. “Coalfield Baseball” was, according to many former players like Williams, Paul Fred Hammonds and Sonny Martin: Established pro and semi-pro teams whose talent was “a cut above‟, The practice of coal companies putting players on the payroll so they could play on the town/ community teams, A brand of baseball – head’s up, no nonsense baseball played a little on the rough side, Our way of life. We know “Coalfield Baseball” was special. Roughly spanning from the late 1800’s until the 1960’s, baseball was an essential ingredient of this coal mining region.
