  • His Splendid Moment - the Boston Globe Page 1 of 3
    Boston Red Sox - His splendid moment - The Boston Globe Page 1 of 3 THIS STORY HAS BEEN FORMATTED FOR EASY PRINTING ONE-HIT WONDERS His splendid moment In a pinch, Hardy gained starring role By Stan Grossfeld, Globe Staff | December 20, 2009 First in an occasional series on memorable Boston sports figures who had their 15 minutes of fame. LONGMONT, Colo. - At 76, former Red Sox outfielder Carroll Hardy is in stellar health, but he knows his obituary is all but set in stone. The only man ever to pinch hit for Ted Williams. “I’m kind of excited by it,’’ says Hardy, a glint in his eye. “I think it’s funny.’’ He’s been described as having the good fortune of Forrest Gump, and for good reason. Hardy also played one year in the NFL and caught four touchdown passes from Hall of Fame quarterback Y.A. Tittle. He pinch hit for a young Yaz and a rookie Roger Maris. He was tutored by the legendary Tris Speaker, coached for the volatile Billy Martin in Triple A Denver, and hit a walkoff grand slam at Fenway Park. He was even responsible for a change in the NFL draft. Hardy was a journeyman outfielder for the Red Sox, Indians, Colt .45s, and Twins who hit just .225 with 17 home runs and 113 RBIs in 433 games over an eight-year major league career. But he received baseball immortality on Sept. 20, 1960, in the first inning of a game in Baltimore. “Skinny Brown was pitching this particular day.

  • Texas Sports Hall of Fame
    Texas Sports Hall of Fame The Texas Sports Hall of Fame was organized in 1951 by the Texas Sports Writers Association. Each year the honorees are inducted into the Hall of Fame at a gala dinner. (The second such fete in 1952 was headlined by, “That filmland athlete, Ronald Reagan, and his actress wife, Nancy Davis,” The Dallas Morning News, June 9, 1952.) The hall was originally in Grand Prairie in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The Hall of Fame was closed in 1986 for financial reasons, but in 1991 it was reopened in Waco. In addition to memorabilia, the new location also houses archives. Under the current selection process, dues-paying members of the Texas Sports Hall of Fame can nominate any number of individuals. (Anyone can become a member.) The selection committee, chaired by Dave Campbell, founder of Texas Football Magazine, reviews all nominees and creates the “Official Voting Membership” ballot. Ballots are then mailed to the voting membership, former Texas Sports Hall of Fame inductees and the media selection committee. The results of the balloting are announced in the fall with the induction banquet following in the winter. The hall of fame website is at www.tshof.org.

  • Jacob Fields Wade, Jr
    #A - Jacob Fields Wade, Jr. – Jake “Whistling Jake” Wade By John Fuqua References: SABR MILB Database Baseball Reference The Sporting News Detroit News Joe (Boy) Willis, Carteret County, North Carolina, Baseball Historian “Nuggets on the Diamond”, Dick Dobbins - author In the sandy soil of Carteret County, North Carolina, young boys were schooled in a tough brand of baseball. They emulated their fathers, uncles, and community leaders who held regular jobs during the week in the whaling and fishing community of Morehead City and played baseball in leagues on the weekend. The spirited local nine was tough, smart, scrappy, hard working and on occasion settled slights and disagreements with the area competition with their fists. These men played the game because they loved it. Baseball was not their occupation. It was their avocation. They shared this love with their sons. Jacob Fields Wade, Jr. was born on April 1, 1912 in Morehead City, North Carolina. His father, Jacobs Fields Wade, Sr. had moved to Carteret County in the late 1800’s from Massachusetts. He was a whaler and ship builder and moved to this Southern Coastal Community to build a life for his family. Earlier, he had married Love Styron and together they raised a family of eleven. The four boys were Rupert – who died in an accident, Charles Winfield “Wink”, Jake, and the youngest brother Ben. The daughters were Carita, Maidie, Eudora, Duella, Eleanor, Hazel, and Josephine. Jake Wade attended school at the Charles S Wallace School in Morehead City from 1918-1929. Jake played high school baseball for Wallace, where he started out as a First Baseman because of his height, the coach quickly moved him to the pitching staff as he developed into a dominant pitcher who was difficult to beat.
