The graphic nature of these illustra tions does not lend itself to traditional bibliographic forms of reference notation, but conscientious efforts were made within the text to give credit when information used or quoted was uniquely tied to specific sources. Credits for ordinary data like statistics or game details were impossible to accommodate in this graphic presentation. That information, none the less, was as important as any to the storytelling. The following sources were of great value in fleshing out the details: The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Chi cago Tribune, The Los Angeles Times, The Sporting News, Baseball Di- gest, The Baseball Encyclopedia, Sports Illustrated, The Asso - ciated Press, United Press International, Topps, baseballin wartime. com, sabr.org, retro sheet.org, baseballlibrary.com, baseball- almanac.com, and baseball-reference. com. Gratitude must alsoSample be expressed file to the countless authors of other books, magazines, periodicals, websites, interviews—and all other manner of baseball writing—whose recording of baseball history was also invaluable. Lastly, thanks go out to Sumner G. Hunnewell, Jr., for his hard work in compiling the index. vi Preface Hello baseball fans!

  • HOBBY ODDS and ENDS Berger, Merrell Mysteries, Oldest Players, Footy Cards, Etc
    HOBBY ODDS AND ENDS Berger, Merrell mysteries, oldest players, footy cards, etc. By George Vrechek Sy Berger article On Sunday morning December 14, 2014, I received a call from Butch Jacobs, former director of photography at Topps, informing me that his mentor, long-time Topps marketing executive Sy Berger, had passed away that morning. Sy Berger was very generous to me taking my phone calls over the past few years and telling me the stories of his involvement with Topps. Last summer I decided to write an article that was more about Sy than the cards and was helped in the endeavor by his family. The more I learned about Sy, the more I admired him. Sy Berger (1923-2014) I have written articles for SCD for over 25 years and the resulting September 19, 2014, article “Catching up with Sy Berger” drew more response than I have ever received. I heard from many readers who know Berger and echoed comments by family members who praised his career and personal touch. I heard from former business associates, writers, people at Topps, Berger family members, and I heard that Willie Mays enjoyed the article. Berger’s widow Gloria and daughter Maxine said that they were especially pleased that Sy was able to enjoy the story. We should all be remembered so well. Marshall Merrell prints When I was a youngster, my aunt and uncle lived within walking distance of Milwaukee County Stadium, home of the Braves starting in 1953. I visited them several times and attended Braves games where I would splurge and spend 25 cents for one large black and white print of stars like Hank Aaron, Warren Spahn and Eddie Mathews.

  • Achieving at a High Level
    Achieving at a High Level Most people desire to perform at a high level, whether it be in health care, business, education, sports, church life or hobbies. It’s part of human nature to want to excel at what we do. John C. Maxwell, author and internationally recognized expert on leadership development, writes in his book Attitude 101 – What Every Leader Needs to Know: “The greater the feat you desire to achieve, the greater the mental preparation required for overcoming obstacles and persevering over the long haul. If you want to take a stroll in your neighborhood, you can reasonably expect to have few, if any problems. But that’s not the case if you intend to climb Mount Everest.” And he adds: “It takes time, effort, and the ability to overcome setbacks. You have to approach each day with reasonable expectations and not get your feelings hurt when everything doesn’t turn out perfectly.” As an example, he told this story: Something that happened on baseball’s opening day in 1954 illustrates the point well. The Milwaukee Braves and the Cincinnati Reds played each other, and a rookie for each team made his major-league debut during that game. The rookie who played for the Reds hit four doubles and helped his team win with a score of 9 to 8. The rookie for the Braves went 0 for 5. The Reds player was Jim Greengrass, a name you probably haven’t heard. The other guy, who didn’t get a hit, might be more familiar to you. His name was Hank Aaron, who played 21 seasons for the Milwaukee/Atlanta Braves in the National League and two seasons for the Milwaukee Brewers in the American League, from 1954 through 1976.
