The Cubs Win the World Series!
Can’t-miss listening is Pat Hughes’ ‘The Cubs Win the World Series!’ CD By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Monday, January 2, 2017 What better way for Pat Hughes to honor his own achievement by reminding listeners on his new CD he’s the first Cubs broadcaster to say the memorable words, “The Cubs win the World Series.” Hughes’ broadcast on 670-The Score was the only Chi- cago version, radio or TV, of the hyper-historic early hours of Nov. 3, 2016 in Cleveland. Radio was still in the Marconi experimental stage in 1908, the last time the Cubs won the World Series. Baseball was not broadcast on radio until 1921. The five World Series the Cubs played in the radio era – 1929, 1932, 1935, 1938 and 1945 – would not have had classic announc- ers like Bob Elson claiming a Cubs victory. Given the unbroken drumbeat of championship fail- ure, there never has been a season tribute record or CD for Cubs radio calls. The “Great Moments in Cubs Pat Hughes was a one-man gang in History” record was produced in the off-season of producing and starring in “The Cubs 1970-71 by Jack Brickhouse and sidekick Jack Rosen- Win the World Series!” CD. berg. But without a World Series title, the commemo- ration featured highlights of the near-miss 1969-70 seasons, tapped the WGN archives for older calls and backtracked to re-creations of plays as far back as the 1930s. Did I miss it, or was there no commemorative CD with John Rooney, et. -

Whitey Ford and the Best Marketing Event Ever by Charles B. Wendel
Whitey Ford and the Best Marketing Event Ever By Charles B. Wendel Maybe not the best, but close. And joyful. It was the fall of 1995, 40 years after the one and only time the Brooklyn Dodgers won a World Series. In fact while I don’t remember that event, but some people of a certain age would say it was the greatest day in Brooklyn’s history. Manufacturers Hanover Bank, whom I consulted to when I was at McKinsey had combined with Chemical (now Chase). While the name changed, its Middle Market unit remained the leader in serving New York’s mid-sized companies. In the pre-digital era foot power and personal relationships differentiated the bank from others. They also had close ties to baseball; if I remember correctly, Tom Seaver appeared in ads for them. Time for a party to celebrate one of the greatest days in Brooklyn history. It should have come as no surprise that the marketing group at the bank, then headed by Andy Parton who now runs the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Long Island, helped come up with the most memorable event possible. They brought together dozens of former New York City big leaguers from the Giants, Dodgers, and Yankees of that era. Names that the mostly male business owners who attended the event had grown up rooting for and were excited to meet. When I read of Whitey Ford’s death last week, I was sure he had attended that dinner. Even more, I thought I had gotten his name on the baseball that the bank gave to each attendee as they signed in. -

The Newsletter of the Atlanta 400 Baseball Fan Club February 2021
The Newsletter of the Atlanta 400 Baseball Fan Club ________________________________________________________________________________ February 2021 By Dave Badertscher The 400 Fan Club was able to keep its consecutive Gameboree streak alive by hosting the 55th annual gala as a free virtual event on Zoom on Wednesday evening, January 20. This year’s theme was appropriately “2020: A Season Like No Other.” Due to COVID considerations our traditional cocktail reception, silent auction, raffle, and dinner were not offered. Food and beverages were on you own at home. Approximately 80 attendees and special guests participated in the session. After this enthusiastic, 90-minute celebration of Braves baseball, we could definitely lay claim to hosting the best virtual Eddie Glennon Gameboree ever. Emcee Wayne Coleman opened the Gameboree by introducing the evening’s producer, Harlow Lisak, and Fan Club President Howard Evans. Howard welcomed the attendees and talked about the work of the Club’s Board of Directors, much of which had to be done virtually in 2020. The Board is planning activities for 2021, which will include more monthly Zoom meetings, pre-game socials at Truist Park, a Major League trip to Denver during Labor Day Weekend and, pandemic permitting, minor league trips to Gwinnett and Rome and hopefully to the Braves new affiliate, the Augusta Green Jackets. For more details on the Club’s activities and the evening’s agenda, Howard referred folks to the Deluxe Gameboree Souvenir Program, which can be accessed by clicking here. Before starting the program, Wayne began with remembrances for the loss of two of the Fan Club’s biggest supporters—Bill Bartholomay on March 25, Phil Niekro on December 26—as well as Braves trainer Dave Pursley on October 21 and announcer Don Sutton, who passed away the day before the Gameboree.
