    @UCMMULES • @Mules_Baseball • #teamUCM BASEBALL 1 Crane Stadium / Tompkins Field has served as host site for numerous MIAA and Regional Tournaments. In the spring of 1998 Central Missouri enjoyed the completion of an outstanding baseball facility to go with its already outstanding baseball program – James R. Crane Stadium at Robert N. Tompkins Field. A $1.2 million construction project, funded primarily by Crane, added a locker room and coaches’ offices for the Mules, an umpires dressing room, new dugouts, permanent seats, a concession stand, a press box and lights to the already existing playing field. In the fall of 2004, a new facility was added to include indoor batting cages and bullpens, a weight room, storage facility, and umpires dressing room. Following that in 2006, permanent seatback chairs were installed for the fans. All of this was funded by Crane. In the summer of 2013, the stadium received another upgrade with a new grass playing surface being installed. In the fall of 2015, a $1.1 million project to outfit the stadium with a sythentic turf playing surface was funded primarily by Crane. The project, which includes synthetic turf from AstroTurf, was completed prior to the Mules’ 2016 home-opener On January 21, 1998, Central Missouri’s Board of Governors approved the naming of the facility, formerly known as Mules’ Field, in honor of Crane and Tompkins. Official dedication ceremonies were held on May 2, 1998. The facility was showcased in the October 1998 issue of Athletics Administration magazine. The first night game played under the new lights took place on March 25, 1998, with the Mules beating Benedictine College 21-6.

  • Mules in the Pros
    Mules in the Pros Morgan Burkhart Boston - 2000-01 • Kansas City - 2003 Morgan Burkhart made his major league debut with the Boston Red Sox on June 27, 2000 and, in doing so, became the first former Mules’ baseball player to appear in a major league game. In his first major league at-bat, Burkhart singled off the Orioles’ Mike Mussina. He was 2-for-4 in the game. He wound up playing in 25 games with the Red Sox in 2000, hitting .288 with four home runs and 18 RBI. In 2001 Burkhart spent most of the season at Pawtucket (R.I.), where he hit .269 with 25 home runs and 62 RBI. He made his second trip to the major leagues that year, when he played in 11 games with Boston, hitting .182 with one home run and four RBI. However, the Red Sox released him after the 2001 season. In 2002, Burkhart played in 42 games with Japan’s Fukuoka Daiei Hawks before being signed by the Kansas City Royals for the 2003 season. In six games for the Royals, he went 3-for-15 (.200). Burkhart spent most of the season with Kansas City’s Triple A affiliate in Omaha, Neb., where he batted .251 with 17 home runs, 18 doubles, and 57 RBI. A key member of the Mules’ 1994 national championship team, Burkhart had spent five-plus seasons in the minor leagues before being called up. With Pawtucket in 2000, he hit .255 with 23 home runs and 77 RBI. Before the Red Sox signed him to a minor league contract in 1998, Burkhart had enjoyed a stellar career in the independent Frontier League for Richmond, Indiana.

  • The Curse of the Middle Atlantic League
    Baseball in Wartime Newsletter Vol. 8 No. 43 June 2016 June 8 No. 43 Vol. Newsletter in Wartime Baseball The Curse of the Middle Atlantic League Gary Bedingfield The Curse of the Middle Atlantic League During World War II, more than 400 major league players together with 4,000 minor leaguers, put down their bats and gloves to serve their country. Not all of them came home. Professional baseball failed to keep tabs on exactly how many players made the ultimate sacrifice while in military service. For many years, prior to my research over the last decade, the figure was believed to be around 40 or so. Since I started my endless digging through various archives, that figure has risen to 147. Some died on the battlefields, some in the air, others while in training, but they all had one thing in common, professional baseball had been a part of their lives, and whether it was as a volunteer or through being drafted, they courageously served their country to the end. In addition to the two major league players (Elmer Gedeon and Harry O’Neill), players who died in service came from all levels of minor league baseball, from the lowly Class D circuits to Class AA, the highest classification at the time. And one league, the Class C Middle Atlantic League – which was an eight-team circuit of clubs from Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor - led the way with 20 players passing through its ranks and losing their lives while associated with the military.
