Since our last newsletter in October, a lot has happened in the Foundation. First of all, we inducted five new members into the Eastern Shore Baseball Hall of Fame at a very nice banquet at Salisbury University. Secondly, thanks to Curator Gary Fries and Historian Donnie Davidson, we are enhancing the museum displays and look forward to showing it off when the Shorebirds season starts in April. Lastly, the Board of Directors has undergone some changes. We lost a few long-time directors and have added directors who are eager to contribute to the Foundation’s success. As always, I encourage Foundation members to give us feedback or suggestions to improve YOUR organization – whether it’s regarding the museum, the website, the membership, the Board, etc. As the start of baseball season quickly approaches, I look forward to seeing you at the museum this Spring. A Word from our Curator The New Year has started for the Museum and we have started the remodeling! We are bringing the ballpark inside the museum by adding a fence to the Eastern Shore League Wall.

  • Barney Deforge “Luckie No More” ©Diamondsinthedusk.Com
    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.

  • Minor League Presidents
    MINOR LEAGUE PRESIDENTS compiled by Tony Baseballs www.minorleaguebaseballs.com This document deals only with professional minor leagues (both independent and those affiliated with Major League Baseball) since the foundation of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues (popularly known as Minor League Baseball, or MiLB) in 1902. 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. I have no copyright on anything here, it's all public information, but it's never all been in one place before, in this layout. Copyrights belong to their respective owners, including but not limited to MLB, MiLB, and the independent leagues. The first section will list active leagues. Some have historical predecessors that will be found in the next section. LEAGUE ASSOCIATIONS The modern minor league system traces its roots to the formation of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues (NAPBL) in 1902, an umbrella organization that established league classifications and a salary structure in an agreement with Major League Baseball. The group simplified the name to “Minor League Baseball” in 1999. MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL Patrick Powers, 1901 – 1909 Michael Sexton, 1910 – 1932

  • Baseball in Wartime Newsletter Spring 2016
    Somewhere in England Baseball in the European Theater during 1943 Baseball European in the Baseball in Wartime Newsletter—Special Edition Vol. 8 No. 42 Spring 2016 Introduction I’m sure you’ve already noticed that this newsletter is a little different from previous editions. For some time now I’ve been planning on compiling a detailed history of the baseball season played by the US military in Britain in 1943. Why 1943? Well, apart from featuring two major events – an all-professional game in London and the 20-team ETO World Series - it was the only “stable” year for American servicemen in Europe. American military personnel began arriving in 1942, but their numbers were limited, movement was regular and no formal baseball leagues were in operation. In 1944, there were more servicemen in Britain than any other year, but with the invasion of mainland Europe in June, many units were either there for only a brief period of time or on the move to Europe in support of advancing troops. In 1945, the war in Europe came to an end in May, and while it’s true thousands of servicemen remained until at least the end of the summer, many units were shipping back home or to the Pacific immediately after the Nazi surrender. Therefore, 1943, was the only year in which a large number of units had arrived during the preceding winter or spring months and remained until at least the following year. One thing I should point out is that this is not a complete account of every game played by American servicemen during 1943.
