  • PADRE's CORNER February 26, 2017
    PADRE’S CORNER February 26, 2017 "Death is no more than passing from one room into another. But there's a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room I shall be able to see." Helen Keller (1880-1968), born both deaf and blind, uttered these words with a hint of heaven in them. In 1937, she visited Japan and inquired about adopting a dog to be a life companion. She reflected, "If ever there was an angel in fur, it was Kamikaze. I know I shall never feel quite the same tenderness for any other pet. The Akita dog has all the qualities that appeal to me - he is gentle, companionable and trusty." Singer Andrea Bocelli, in the same spiritual vein, reflected: "Losing my sight had nothing to do with my focus on music. My passion for music was already there, so it would be a mistake to give too much significance to my blindness... My blindness doesn't define my life." On December 19, another famous blind person performed a concert at the "B.B. King" on 42nd Street that evoked sight within the blindness. Jose Feliciano was born on September 10, 1945 in Lares, Puerto Rico. He is famous for songs such as "Feliz Navidad" from 1970, as well as "Light My Fire"(first popularized by the Doors in 1968) and the theme song from the television show "Chico and the Man" with Jack Albertson and Freddie Prinze. He also performed the national anthem before game five of the 1968 World Series at Tiger Stadium in Michigan, pitting the St.

  • When Jose Feliciano Lit a Fire That Almost Singed Ernie Harwell by Rob Fournier, Esq, Director of Athletics
    When Jose Feliciano Lit a Fire That Almost Singed Ernie Harwell By Rob Fournier, esq, Director of Athletics The following is one of a group of stories written by Rob Fournier that appear in the Harwell Museum. This is the first of those stories -- in this case detailing when Ernie Harwell selected the national anthem singers for the 1968 World Series home games in Detroit and the "non- traditional" performance by Jose Feliciano almost cost Ernie his job. Times have changed. Ernie Harwell’s most controversial call in his long career never occurred during a broadcast. That brew-haw would start innocently with an invitation to an aspiring native of Puerto Rico Jose Feliciano to sing the national anthem. However the invitation was to perform the national anthem in the 1968 World Series before a sold-out Tiger Stadium crowd and millions around the country. It was arguably the biggest stage in a country struggling with civil unrest at home and a war in Southeast Asia. Looking back decades later, the performance by Feliciano seems inconsequential especially when juxtaposed to kneeling players and less stylized versions that seem to want to promote a message other than lyrics. Feliciano was simply offering a “blues version” more in keeping with his background and upbringing. But that soulful inspiration did not stimulate some of the audience. And although Feliciano was enjoying success with a recently released album that featured his popular hit song “Light My Fire” the rendition quickly replaced his hoped-for public image. It all started so innocently. Unlike today’s well-choreographed presentations xxxxxxxxx.

    Tigers from 1968 World Series honored Page 1 of 2 Print © 2008 MLB Advanced Media, L.P. All rights reserved. Tigers from 1968 World Series honored 06/24/2008 11:30 PM ET By Scott McNeish / MLB.com DETROIT -- The front-page headline of the Detroit Free Press the next morning summed it up. "WE WIN!" Not "THEY WIN" or "TIGERS WIN." The "we" meant the struggling city of Detroit, which at that point was a year removed from one of the deadliest and most destructive riots in United States history. However, against the turmoil, the destruction and the hate, this charred, limping city hemmed itself with threads of passion for the World Series champion 1968 Detroit Tigers. People rejoiced as their team defeated Bob Gibson and the daunting St. Louis Cardinals, becoming the third team in World Series history to overcome a 3-1 deficit. "I had a slogan," Tigers Hall of Fame outfielder Willie Horton said. "It said, 'God put us here to heal this city.'" The city thanked them. Even the governor of Michigan thanked them. All for turning the city's attention away from its own troubles. The Tigers gave their home reason to smile. "WE WIN!" On Tuesday night, with the Cardinals in town, the city thanked them one more time. The Tigers honored the 40th anniversary of the 1968 team with a 15-minute pregame ceremony at Comerica Park. Eighteen members of the team attended Tuesday's game, including a rare public appearance from Denny McLain. Time has distanced the players from their championship, but not from their friendships with each other.
