    Barney DeForge “Luckie No More” ©DiamondsintheDusk.com On a seasonably warm Friday evening in Winston-Salem’s venerable Southside May 14, 1948 Park, the homestanding Cardinals, behind the two-hit pitching of lefty Jack Southside Park Frisinger, take the measure of visiting Reidsville 5-0 in one of four Carolina (D) Winston-Salem, North Carolina League games played that day. At first glance, it seems like just another day of minor league baseball in the Tar Heel State. After all, Winston-Salem, the league’s preseason favorite, currently resides in first place with an impressive 18-7 mark while the fifth-place Luckies drop to 9-12 and a full seven games behind their hosts. And being shutout by the 20-year-old Frisinger, a rising star in the St. Louis Car- dinals farm system, comes as no surprise to Carolina League fans. Said “to be faster than Harvey Haddix,” the burgeoning Cardinals ace limits the Luckies to a pair of singles en route to securing the third of an eventual team-high 18 wins. The 6-foot-1 Kalamazoo, Michigan, native strikes out seven and walks three in the route-going effort. However, several events that take place during the game that are suspicious and, unfortunately, a harbinger of problems to come, both for DeForge and the Carolina League. First, Winston-Salem officials report to the police there is a person in the stands “making heavy bets,” giving Reidsville and two runs which meant that if the Cardinals won by three or more runs, he will win all bets placed.

Collegiate Summer leagues, semi-pro leagues, and all other non-professional leagues are excluded, but encouraged! The information herein was compiled from several sources including the Encyclopedia of Minor League Baseball (2nd Ed.), Baseball Reference.com, Wikipedia, official league websites (most of which can be found under the umbrella of milb.com), and a great source for defunct leagues, Indy League Graveyard.

Abstract The First Fifty Years of Professional Baseball in Richmond, Virginia: 1883-1932 Scott Patrick Mayer Master of Arts in History ,University ofRichmond, May 2001 Advisor: Dr. W. Harrison Daniel A detailed history of Richmond, Virginia's relationship with professional baseball has never been chronicled, especially the turbulent, early years of its development. This study explores Richmond's relationship with baseball from 1883-1932. It includes information about the men who played on the field, the team owners, and also comments on the relationship shared by the team and the city. The most reliable source of information regarding early baseball is the local newspaper. A detailed reading of the Richmond Daily Dispatch, and the successive Richmond Dispatch and Richmond Times-Dispatch, was undertaken for this project. While several newspapers have existed in Richmond's history, often competing for readership during the same period, the Dispatch was selected for its continuity in publication and for its support and consistent reporting ofbaseball.

    Durham Bulls Summer Baseball Camp (Ages 15 - 18) Running Head: Durham Bulls Summer Baseball Camp (Ages 15 - 18) Durham Bulls Summer Baseball Camp (Ages 15 - 18) Justin Jordan Seth Reavis Tyler Russell North Carolina State University 1 Durham Bulls Summer Baseball Camp (Ages 15 - 18) Executive Summary The Durham Bulls are the Minor League (Triple-A) affiliate of the Major League Baseball team, the Tampa Bay Rays. The Durham Bulls play their home games in the Downtown area of Durham, North Carolina at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park, which is often referred to as “D-BAP” or “DBAP”. The Durham Bulls have established their place as a minor league powerhouse having won 13 League titles with the most recent championship coming last year. As a result, the Bulls have become a well-known baseball franchise not only locally, but throughout the region and this has helped bring in a variety of resources and players to the Durham area. The Durham Bulls offer many promotions and opportunities for the public to be involved with the baseball team ranging from birthday parties to baseball camps. The summer baseball camps that are offered are the most popular among these promotions, however they have only been offered for children ages 7-14. For the first time ever, the Durham Bulls will be offering a much more exclusive summer camp for baseball players ages 15-18. The two main goals of the summer baseball camp is to have the most professional and rewarding camp that can be offered to high school aged players and to provide the campers with a high level of exposure to college coaches and other scouts.

Born on July 20, 1888, in the small North Carolina township of Glenola, Eldridge plays sandlot baseball in and around the Greensboro area before making his professional baseball debut for the Greensboro Champs of the Carolina (D) Association on July 16, 1909 ... only four days shy of his 21st birthday, Eldridge picks up the first of an eventual 285 career minor league victories with a six-hit 3-1 complete game victory over the visiting Anderson Electricians before 800 appreciative fans at Cone Field. A quarter of a century later, on September 8, 1934, a 47-year-old Eldridge will end his legendary career much the same way he began it with a complete game victory ..

  • Moose Clabaugh, “62 Homers” ©Diamondsinthedusk.Com
    Moose Clabaugh, “62 homers” ©DiamondsintheDusk.com John William (Moose) Clabaugh, a hard-hitting outfielder/first baseman from Missouri, gains national attention during the 1926 season when he hits 62 home runs for the Tyler Trojans of the East Texas (D) League, breaking the organized baseball record of 60 established the previous season by Tony Lazzeri of the Salt Lake City Bees. Clabaugh’s home run total is even more impressive when you consider that his 62 round-trippers are achieved in only 123 games and Tyler’s elevation is 544 feet … Lazzeri totals his 60 home runs over 197 games and Salt Lake City’s elevation is listed at 4,226 feet. Despite playing for a team that finishes 57-64 and 25 1/2 games behind the first-place Longview Cannibals, Clabaugh captures the East Texas “Triple Crown”, leading the circuit in home runs, runs batted in (164) and batting average (.376). Despite playing in a low-level minor league, his performance earns him a Moose Clabaugh late-season call 1933 Baltimore Orioles Clabaugh Year by Year: up to the Brooklyn Dodgers of the National League, where he goes 1-for-14 (.071) with one RBI in 11 games.
