    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.

  • Glenn Killinger, Service Football, and the Birth
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School School of Humanities WAR SEASONS: GLENN KILLINGER, SERVICE FOOTBALL, AND THE BIRTH OF THE AMERICAN HERO IN POSTWAR AMERICAN CULTURE A Dissertation in American Studies by Todd M. Mealy © 2018 Todd M. Mealy Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2018 ii This dissertation of Todd M. Mealy was reviewed and approved by the following: Charles P. Kupfer Associate Professor of American Studies Dissertation Adviser Chair of Committee Simon Bronner Distinguished Professor Emeritus of American Studies and Folklore Raffy Luquis Associate Professor of Health Education, Behavioral Science and Educaiton Program Peter Kareithi Special Member, Associate Professor of Communications, The Pennsylvania State University John Haddad Professor of American Studies and Chair, American Studies Program *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT This dissertation examines Glenn Killinger’s career as a three-sport star at Penn State. The thrills and fascinations of his athletic exploits were chronicled by the mass media beginning in 1917 through the 1920s in a way that addressed the central themes of the mythic Great American Novel. Killinger’s personal and public life matched the cultural medley that defined the nation in the first quarter of the twentieth-century. His life plays outs as if it were a Horatio Alger novel, as the anxieties over turn-of-the- century immigration and urbanization, the uncertainty of commercializing formerly amateur sports, social unrest that challenged the status quo, and the resiliency of the individual confronting challenges of World War I, sport, and social alienation.

  • Bill Bethea Baseball Story
    Bill Bethea - My Baseball Story My name is Bill Bethea, and I am the founder and owner of Power Pitching & Hitting, Inc. I have dedicated the last 10 years to developing baseball players of all ages and abilities. Below is a summary of my baseball career, which I hope will provide insight to the knowledge that I have acquired throughout the years, and help communicate my love for the game of baseball. My goal is to share this knowledge with players and parents who are as passionate about the game as I am. LITTLE LEAGUE YEARS As a young player, I was a below-average little leaguer. I was only allowed to pitch one time when I was 9, and I walked 11 batters! I was not allowed to pitch again after that. At age 12, I had a coach (Mr. Jones) who was a mainstay in the Midtown Edison Little League (God rest his soul), was the first coach that believed that I had potential. I was a big kid that had power, but could never utilize the size to my advantage. As a hitter, I could make good contact, primarily hitting singles and doubles. But as a pitcher, I could not throw a strike to save my life. Needless to say, I never made an all-star or travel team. After Little League I played senior league baseball for two years before moving on to high school. At this point, I didn’t even want to try out for high school, as I didn’t think I would make the team, and I considered playing Lacrosse.

  • Steve Dalkowski
    Steve Dalkowski, “Wild Thing Redux” ©DiamondsintheDusk.com Step aside Ricky Vaughn and apologies to Charlie Sheen, but the moniker “Wild Thing” belongs to Steve Dalkowski, and Steve Dalkowski alone. Despite never appearing in the major leagues, Steven Louis Dalkowski, Jr., achieves legendary status because of his ability to throw a baseball faster than maybe any other player in the history of the game. The talented but tormented left-hander strikes out more batters (12.6) and walks more batters (12.2) per nine innings than any pitcher in baseball history. In nine minor league seasons, in nine different minor leagues, at seven dif- ferent levels, the New Britain, Connecticut, native complies a lifetime record of 46-80 with 38 complete games, 14 shutouts and an ERA of 5.59. He strikes out 1,396 and walks 1,354 in only 995 innings pitched. Interestingly enough, Dalkowski allows only 37 home runs in his nine seasons (1 every 26.9 innings, or 1 every 3 games.) The son of a vocational buffer in an electric-tool plant in New Britain, he stars in football, basketball and baseball in high school in the mid 1950’s. A star Steve Dalkowski quarterback for the New Britain High School football team, he leads the team 1958 Aberdeen Pheasants to Connecticut divisional championships in 1955 and 1956. On the baseball diamond, he is 7-2 as a senior, with two no-hitters, striking out 150 in only 69 2/3 innings, including a state-record 24 in one game. In another game, he strikes outs 18 and walks 18.
