H 6029 State of Rhode Island 2011 -- H 6029 ======= LC02404 ======= STATE OF RHODE ISLAND IN GENERAL ASSEMBLY JANUARY SESSION, A.D. 2011 ____________ H O U S E R E S O L U T I O N EXPRESSING CONDOLENCES ON THE PASSING OF FORMER RED SOX GENERAL MANAGER JAMES "LOU" GORMAN Introduced By: Representatives Keable, Mattiello, Blazejewski, Ferri, and Watson Date Introduced: April 05, 2011 Referred To: House read and passed 1 WHEREAS, It is with great sadness that we have learned of the passing of James 2 Gorman, known as “Lou” to his family, friends, and many admirers. Lou’s passion for the game 3 of baseball was only eclipsed by his love for and devotion to his family. Our thoughts and hearts 4 hold great empathy and sorrow for his loved ones; and 5 WHEREAS, James “Lou” Gorman was born on February 18, 1929, into a South 6 Providence neighborhood that was just beginning to reel from the effects of the Great Depression. 7 The son of a fire department battalion chief, Gorman worked to bring in extra money to his 8 family by delivering the Providence Journal and selling popcorn at Providence Reds hockey 9 games; and 10 WHEREAS, His natural athletic abilities made him a star athlete on La Salle Academy’s 11 football team before he graduated in 1947 and embarked on a brief professional baseball career 12 with the Providence Grays of the Class-B New England League. Lou suited up for 16 games and 13 had one hit in 28 at-bats. He continued his education and earned degrees from Stonehill College 14 and Bridgewater State College before joining the Navy. He served his country with honor and 15 distinction, spending more than eight years of active service that brought him twice to Korea 16 during his Naval career; and 17 WHEREAS, Through his boundless energy and ability to bring out the best in his players, 18 Lou quickly rose through the ranks of professional baseball management. He worked for the San 19 Francisco Giants farm team, the Baltimore Orioles, the Kansas City Royals farm system, and the 1 New York Mets before Boston finally beckoned; and 2 WHEREAS, James "Lou" Gorman was the Red Sox general manager from 1984-93, 3 building the 1986 American League championship team, led by Roger Clemens, that was a single 4 strike away from winning the World Series before the New York Mets came back to win Games 5 6 and 7; and 6 WHEREAS, Lou Gorman was first and foremost a gentleman: kind, warm, decent, and 7 positive. From players to managers to fans, he treated everyone with dignity and saw each person 8 he encountered as a potential friend. His warm spirit, fundamental goodness, and commitment to 9 excellence in sports will be greatly missed; and 10 WHEREAS, James “Lou” Gorman’s life and achievements will live on for many years to 11 come in the memories of everyone fortunate enough to have been touched by the quality of this 12 remarkable gentleman; now, therefore be it 13 RESOLVED, That this House of Representatives of the State of Rhode Island and 14 Providence Plantations hereby expresses our deepest sympathy to the family of James “Lou” 15 Gorman. He will be truly missed; and be it further 16 RESOLVED, That the Secretary of State be and he hereby is authorized and directed to 17 transmit a duly certified copy of this resolution to the Gorman family. ======= LC02404 ======= 2 .

  • Green Roars in Book, but Still Leaves out Some Key Cubs Angles
    Green roars in book, but still leaves out some key Cubs angles By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Friday, September 13th, 2013 Dallas Green always had a voice so pow- erful you could hear him before you could see him. Those vocal cords emoted loud and clear over the long-distance line from his Mary- land farm. He hardly needed wires to make the connection. At 79, “Big D” sounds the same as he did in his voluble tenure as the franchise-changing Cubs general manager from 1981 to 1987. And if you think one year away from be- ing an octogenarian has played tricks with his memory, well, you don’t know the 6- foot-5 Green. Nearly three decades have passed since he shook the Cubs to the foundations, and paid the price for suc- cess not imprinted every year with his job. Like the elephant, he has not forgotten the Michigan Avenue suits who ardently wooed him, then pulled the quick hook on him after a little more than half a decade. Dallas Green may be all-white-haired on top at 79, but his voice is still heard loud and clear. Photo “Honestly, the Tribune (Co.) in terms of credit The SABR Office. money and position advancement was very good to me,” Green said. “Unfortunately, I didn’t get to finish what I started or enjoy the possibility of going to more playoffs and World Series. That has stuck in my craw pretty much. “It was my first experience with corporate ownership (after working for the Carpenter family-owned Phillies).

This will start a 4-game set (in 3-nights) against the Mud Hens who come to town with the best record in the entire International League at 11-4. Tonight’s twinbill is the first of the season for Pawtucket. Please note…the PawSox will be the home team in Game 1 today while Toledo will act as the “home team” in the nightcap. Tonight’s doubleheader was necessitated by a rain out in Toledo just over a week ago (Sunday, April 15) in what was to be the finale of that 4-game series in Ohio. Double Your Pleasure – Pawtucket played in 11 doubleheaders last season which tied with Rochester and Syracuse for the most in the league in 2017. The Sox posted three sweeps, were swept five times, and also were involved in three doubleheader splits last year. Pawtucket was swept in their final twinbill of last season at Louisville on August 15 by 3-1 & 5-1 scores.
