  • Never Quit the Following Story Is from the Book Never Quit by Glenn Cunningham
    YOUR KANSAS STORIES OUR HISTORICAL 1-12 HISTORY SOCIETY Read Kansas! By the Kansas State Historical Society Never Quit The following story is from the book Never Quit by Glenn Cunningham. This book is an autobiography. It was published in 1981 when Cunningham was 72 years old. The 1936 Berlin Olympics There was some confusion at the start as runners jostled one another for position. But I was used to this, and I lay back, moving to the outer edge of the pack, running easily and waiting for an opening. The crowd was noisy. I knew they wouldn’t be yelling like that for long. In less than four minutes they would be applauding the winners and forgetting the losers. But I was not going to lose. At 27, this could be my last chance to prove myself. The noise of the crowd throbbed in my ears, modulated by the pounding of my heart. I was pouring on the power when suddenly my legs began to hurt. Panic. Again the pain, the aching. Would it never go away?… At the halfway point in the race a swift Frenchman took the lead. I decided to overtake him. I was about to pass the man when my right leg suddenly buckled! I nearly fell. I recovered at once. But now new pains stabbed through my legs. Once more I started after the Frenchman. This time I passed him, and the crowd went wild. I had the lead!… We were in the stretch now. I lengthened my stride, fighting the pain. I pumped my arms harder.

  • College Baseball Foundation January 30, 2008 Boyd, Thank You For
    College Baseball Foundation P.O. Box 6507 Phone: 806-742-0301 x249 Lubbock TX 79493-6507 E-mail: [email protected] January 30, 2008 Boyd, Thank you for participating in the balloting for the College Baseball Hall of Fame’s 2008 Induction Class. We appreciate your willingness to help. In the voters packet you will find the official ballot, an example ballot, and the nominee biographies: 1. The official ballot is what you return to us. Please return to us no later than Mon- day, February 11. 2. The example ballot’s purpose is to demonstrate the balloting rules. Obviously the names on the example ballot are not the nominee names. That was done to prevent you from being biased by the rankings you see there. 3. Each nominee has a profile in the biography packet. Some are more detailed than others and reflect what we received from the institutions and/or obtained in our own research. The ballot instructions are somewhat detailed, so be sure to read the directions at the top of the official ballot. Use the example ballot as a reference. Please try to consider the nominees based on their collegiate careers. In many cases nominees have gone on to professional careers but keep the focus on his college career as a player and/or coach. The Veterans (pre-1947) nominees often lack biographical details relative to those in the post-1947 categories. In those cases, the criteria may take on a broader spectrum to include the impact they had on the game/history of college baseball, etc.
