1982-2003 2004 Maryland State Association of Baseball Coaches 1982-2003 2004- Updated 2 June 2018 Table of Contents History .............................................................................. 2 Team Rosters & Game Results ......................................... 3 All-Stars .......................................................................... 35 All-Stars by Schools ....................................................... 51 All-Stars in the Majors .................................................... 64 1 History The idea of a state-wide all-star baseball game featuring high school seniors from public, private, and parochial schools representing every district in Maryland was conceived by former Arundel High School coach Bernie Walter, who also helped create the Maryland State Association of Baseball Coaches (MSABC) in 1981 and was the first MSABC President. Sponsorship of the game was obtained from Crown Central Petroleum Company. A spokesman for Crown at the time, Brooks Robinson, the Hall of Fame third baseman for the Orioles, became honorary chairman of the game. The first annual Crown High School All-Star game was played in 1982 at Memorial Stadium between teams of high school seniors representing the North and the South. Growing in stature every year, the venue for the game shifted to Oriole Park at Camden Yards when it opened in 1992. In 2004, when the game lost the sponsorship of Crown, Brooks Robinson, as he had done so many times for the Orioles with a sparkling defensive play at third, saved the game. He sought out Joe Geier, a longtime friend, baseball fan, and Mount St. Joseph graduate, and the Geier Financial Group agreed to sponsor the game. Fittingly, the game was renamed the Brooks Robinson Senior High School All-Star Game. The game is usually played on a Sunday after an Orioles’ game following the conclusion of State tournament play in late May. Today, team selection is a two-stage process. First, players try out for one of four region teams (North, South, East, and West). Those selected then play for their region in one of two games of the MSABC Classic. The top fifteen players from the North vs. West game are named to the North team, and the top fifteen players from the South vs. East game are named to the South team. Teams usually are comprised of four pitchers, two catchers, five infielders, and four outfielders. Alternates are also selected to be available if necessary. Coaches are selected by the game chairman. In the week prior to the game, a press conference is held at Camden Yards to introduce the players, and to meet Brooks Robinson, his health permitting. The game itself is seven innings regardless of the score, with free substitution, and all of the position players in the batting order. Although not batting, each of the pitchers will have an opportunity to pitch. Following the game, a Most Valuable Pitcher and a Most Valuable Player are selected for both the North and South teams. The North leads the series 19-14-2 with one game, 2006, washed out by rain after two innings. To date, twenty-one All-Star Game alumni have played in the majors: Josh Banks, Brian Bark, Troy Brohawn, Steve Clevenger, Ken Cloude, Tim Drummond, Gavin Floyd, Josh Hader, Steve Johnson, Brian Jordan, Adam Kolarek, Steve Lombardozzi, Justin Maxwell, Denny Neagle, Mike O’Connor, Billy Ripken, Greg Smith, Mark Teixeira, Ryan Thompson, Craig Wilson, and Jay Witasick. 2 Team Rosters & Game Results 1982 North South P Billy Honeycutt Parkville P Tim Drummond Thomas Stone P Joe Mirabile Patterson P Steve Loomis Centennial P Don Sweeney South Hagerstown P Chris Shanahan Churchill P Dave Willis Elkton P Doug Sutton Easton C Jeff Rowe Boonsboro C John Kay Springbrook C Phil Smith Westminster C Keith Morris Queen Anne’s IF Paul Burgee Cardinal Gibbons IF Lewis Jenkins Thomas Stone IF Bill Gensler Patterson IF Jeff Marsh Northeast-AA IF Eric Hineline Patterson IF Scott Rowe Brooklyn Park IF Rob Lippy Dulaney IF William Smith Great Mills IF Tom Mann South Hagerstown IF Craig Wilson Annapolis OF Pat Brown Loch Raven OF Alan Gray Arundel OF Craig Fitchett McDonogh OF Paul Grzyb Thomas Stone OF Jeff Shirk Overlea OF Jim Harvey Parkdale OF Rick Zemanski Calvert Hall OF Swen Thompson Bowie Coach Mel Bacon North East-C Coach William “Bumps” Vaughan Bowie Coach Mike McMillian McDonogh Coach Bernie Walter Arundel Coach Steve Williams Edgewood alt-P Bob McGinty Arundel alt-P Steve Thacker McDonogh alt-C Chris Sullivan Bowie alt-C Kevin Davis Walbrook alt-OF Bob Spears Arundel alt-IF Craig Brooks Kenwood DNP-P Brent Friehauf Bowie DNP-IF Billy Ripken Aberdeen DNP-IF Vince Lawerence Chopticon DNP-IF Steve Spalt Patterson Memorial Stadium North 6 South 4 June 25, 1982 Most Valuable Pitcher: Billy Honeycutt (Parkville) Most Valuable Player: Craig Fitchett (McDonogh) Memorial Stadium did its job of turning high school all-stars into star-gazers during yesterday's inaugural Crown North-South baseball game. The North squad won the contest, 6 to 4. But the outcome was irrelevant for the 30 recent high school graduates who played their game before last night's Orioles-Detroit contest. It was their one chance of living a major league fantasy, and they were properly awed at trodding in the footsteps of Palmer, Singleton, Murray and company. "When we walked in here for a practice Thursday night, everyone was screaming and going wild,” said Craig Fitchett, the McDonogh graduate who tripled home a run, scored 2 others and made a spectacular catch for the North squad to earn the game's most valuable player award. "I've been waiting for a long time to play in this place." The teenagers could take a peek over their shoulders and watch some of the major leaguers watching the game. Detroit manager Sparky Anderson was among the first 300 spectators who showed up for the first pitch. He was later joined by several Oriole and Tiger players, who worked out on the warning track while the game proceeded. Fitchett, a muscular 6-foot-2, 190-pounder, even impressed Detroit Tiger catcher Lance Parrish. “Look at the arms on that guy,” said Parrish, 6-3 and 210, to a teammate. "This was one of the most unbelievable things to be a part of." said Mike McMillan, the McDonogh coach who piloted the North squad. "Every one of the kids enjoyed being in the game. We had 118 kids try out for the teams this season. I hope we have 200 next season." The content was highlighted by a few unusual occurrences. There were 12 stolen bases, including four by Brooklyn Park's Scott Rowe. Rowe led off the South's first inning, reaching first base on an error and stealing second and third before skipping home on a single by Arundel's Alan Gray. In the fifth inning, Rowe had a delayed steal of home. The North used some traditional and untraditional scoring rallies to build a 4-1 lead in the first two innings. Dulaney's Robb Lippy had a 2-run single in the first inning, but in the second, the North scored 2 runs on two passed balls, a wild pitch, two errors, three walks and no hits. The North received excellent pitching from Patterson's Joe Mirabile, Parkville's Bill Honeycutt, Elkton's Dave Willis and South Hagerstown's Scott Sweeney. The foursome limited the South to three hits. Honeycutt was named the game's most valuable pitcher after striking out three batters and allowing no hits in two innings. Mirabile, the starter, won the decision. Fitchett saved the game for the North in the bottom of the fifth, with an over-the-shoulder grab in right field to rob Bill Smith of Great Mills of an extra-base hit and a run batted in. In the sixth, Patterson's Bill Gensler tripled and Fitchett followed with a triple to boost the North lead to 5-2. Fitchett later scored the North's last run on a double play. Bernie Walter, the Arundel coach who put the game together and led the South squad, was ecstatic after the contest “If we had won, I'd be a little happier," he deadpanned. "No one is a loser. You're a star, win, lose, or draw." (Glauber, Bill. "High school 3 all-stars feel magic of Stadium." The Baltimore Sun. 26 June 1982. Print.) 1983 North South P Chris Bengel Calvert Hall P Tim Adams Arundel P Larry Flower Calvert Hall P Jeff Bengtson Springbrook P Mike Jednorski Archbishop Curley P Mike DeGirolamo Richard Montgomery P Todd, Stainacker Milford Mill P Joe Phillips Stephen Decatur C William Stup Lansdowne C Chuck Lee Thomas Stone C Jeff Turfle Westminster C Brian Mozingo Parkdale IF Jeff Crabill Milford Mill IF Mike Kirby Arundel IF Ricky Day Patterson IF Jim McKenna Thomas Stone IF Tom Taylor Mount St. Joseph IF Tom Moreland Roosevelt IF Shawn Thomas Fort Hill IF Brian Price Severna Park IF Ernie Young Patterson IF Steve Scheimriet Lackey OF John Guy North East-C OF Roger Brummett Brooklyn Park OF Ricky Howard Milford Mill OF Jim Caldwell Arundel OF Matt Walker Mount St. Joseph OF Vernon Jackson Paint Branch OF Mike Weglein Parkville OF Robbie Stone Glenelg Coach Dominic Pachence Archbishop Spalding Coach Steve Hoopengardner Great Mills Coach Roger Wrenn Patterson Coach Ron Stover Thomas Stone Memorial Stadium North 6 South 2 June 25, 1983 An estimated 1,500 fans turned out Saturday to watch the Second Annual Crown High School North-South All-Star Baseball Game at Memorial Stadium, a crowd considerably larger than last year's. For the second year in a row, the North won the game, this time by a score of 6-2. Last year, the North won 7-3. “I think we at least doubled the attendance from a year ago," said Brooks Robinson, a co- chairman of the event along with Arundel's Bernie Walter.

  • Estimated Age Effects in Baseball
    ESTIMATED AGE EFFECTS IN BASEBALL By Ray C. Fair October 2005 Revised March 2007 COWLES FOUNDATION DISCUSSION PAPER NO. 1536 COWLES FOUNDATION FOR RESEARCH IN ECONOMICS YALE UNIVERSITY Box 208281 New Haven, Connecticut 06520-8281 http://cowles.econ.yale.edu/ Estimated Age Effects in Baseball Ray C. Fair¤ Revised March 2007 Abstract Age effects in baseball are estimated in this paper using a nonlinear xed- effects regression. The sample consists of all players who have played 10 or more full-time years in the major leagues between 1921 and 2004. Quadratic improvement is assumed up to a peak-performance age, which is estimated, and then quadratic decline after that, where the two quadratics need not be the same. Each player has his own constant term. The results show that aging effects are larger for pitchers than for batters and larger for baseball than for track and eld, running, and swimming events and for chess. There is some evidence that decline rates in baseball have decreased slightly in the more recent period, but they are still generally larger than those for the other events. There are 18 batters out of the sample of 441 whose performances in the second half of their careers noticeably exceed what the model predicts they should have been. All but 3 of these players played from 1990 on. The estimates from the xed-effects regressions can also be used to rank players. This ranking differs from the ranking using lifetime averages because it adjusts for the different ages at which players played. It is in effect an age-adjusted ranking.

UNI BASEBALL CELEBRATES 100 YEARS OF WINNING Dating back to 1893, no University of Northern Iowa athletic team has won more games than the Panther baseball program. This season, UNI baseball opens its lOOth season with 952 wins all-time. (No baseball team was fielded in 1903-04, 1909-10 and 1943-45.) Originally begun when the school was known as Iowa State Normal School, the baseball team has represented the school when it was also known as Iowa State Teachers College and the State College of Iowa before assuming its present title in 1967. Starting in the years with Captain Avery as coach of the first two squads, the Panthers have built a program that thrives on hard­ working young men dedicated to being the best they can be on the diamond and in the classroom.
