The Pelicans play at Sportsman’s Park, what is now City Park Avenue near the Expressway. The Pelicans win a second pennant in 1889. 1901: Southern League reorganizes as the Southern Association. Abner Powell becomes the fi rst Pelican manager of the new century as the team fi nishes fourth. They play at Athletic Park, which was then at the corner of Tulane Avenue between South Carrollton and South Pierce. 1902-1905: The Pelicans fi nish last in 1903 and hire Charley Frank as their new manager, and he steers the club for 10 years. The Pelicans claim the pennant in 1905, despite having to play many of their scheduled home games on the road as New Orleans is quarantined due to a yellow fever epidemic. 1908-1913: The Pelicans move to a new location in 1908, bound by South Carrollton, Palmyra, Banks and Scott. A contest is conducted to name the new site and Pelican Park is the winning entry. For the next seven years, the new stadium witnesses many historic events, such as Theo Breitenstein’s no-hitter in 1909, Joe Jackson’s league-leading .354 batting average in 19010, and back-to-back pennant winners in 1910 and 1911. 1914-1922: Johnny Dobbs becomes the new Pelicans manager in 1914. After the season, the park is moved from Carrollton and Banks to Carrollton and Tulane Avenues, where it is renamed Heinemann Park after the club’s owner, A.J. Heinemann. The Pelicans win the pennant in 1914 and add another in 1918. The only unassisted triple play in Southern Association history comes on August 6, 1916, when Pelican second baseman Cotton Knaupp turns it against Chattanooga. The 1918 campaign is curtailed because of World War I, the only year in which the league fails to complete its schedule. In 1921, the Pelicans pres- ent the team’s greatest batter in the person of Ike Boon, who fi nishes with a lofty .389 average. 1923-1932: In 1923, Larry Gilbert, who had originally joined the club as an outfi elder in 1917, takes over for Johnny Dobbs as manager. Gilbert brings a pennant to New Orleans in his fi rst season, and the Pelicans participate in its fi rst Dixie Series. The Pelicans lose the series to Fort Worth of the Texas League. 1926 and 1927 Pelican Stadium was home to professional baseball in New Orleans for 43 years. are banner seasons for the Pelicans, as they capture consecutive pennants, but are defeated in their bid for the Dixie championship. “Country” Davis brings the batting title to New Orleans with a .376 average in 1932. After four more years as manager, Gilbert moves to the front offi ce, and Jake Atz becomes the fi eld boss for one season in 1932. 1933-1938: Gilbert returns as manager and not only wins consecutive pennants in 1933 and 1934, but defeats San Antonio and Galveston for the Dixie Series titles as well. New Orleans plays its fi rst night game at Heinemann Park on May 15, 1936, losing to Atlanta in front of 11,000 fans. Gilbert moves on to manage the Nashville Vols after the 1938 season, and the Pelicans never win another championship. In 1938, Heinemann Park is re-named Pelican Park. 1939-1945: Following Gilbert’s 15 years as manager, there begins a parade of fi eld leaders, beginning with Roger Peckinpaugh in 1939 through Mel Parnell in 1959. As World War II sweeps the nation of its baseball talent, the war forces rapid change of personnel as players are called into service. In 1943, New Orleans wins the second half of a split season, but loses to Nashville in the playoff four games to one, as Larry Gilbert defeats his old team. 1946-1957: During this era, the Pelicans have several major league affi liates, including the Red Sox and Pirates. Just after the war in 1947, New Orleans has one of its fi nest teams. Al Flair sets a team record with 24 home runs, including a shot over the distant center fi eld fence at Pelican Stadium, but the Pelicans lose out in their bid for the pennant by a half-game to the Mobile Bears. Danny Murtaugh is manager from 1952-54, bringing the club into the playoffs against the Atlanta Crackers, who claim the title four games to two. Through the affi liating with the Pirates, New Orleans sees many of its players advance to the ma- jors, including Johnny Power, Gene and George Freese, Bob Skinner, Danny Kravitz and Murtaugh, who goes on to manage Pittsburgh.

  • Knight Templar "The Magazine for York Rite Masons - and Others, Too" NOVEMBER: November Is the Month We Salute Our Grand Commanders
    Grand Master's Message for November 2005 At this most pleasant time of year, we celebrate the recent harvest and give thanks for all of God's blessings. This year should be no different. We are truly blessed in so many ways. It was my pleasure to award two Grand Master's Meritorious Service Awards to Past Grand Commanders and their Grand Commanderies, which have met the requirements for that award. The first was to Sir Knight George A. Hulsinger of the Grand Commandery of Pennsylvania. Next, an award went to Sir Knight Eugene Wright of Oregon. Congratulations to both of them for their dedicated service and efforts on behalf of their Grand Commanderies. On a sad note, I regret the loss of Sir Knight William Q. Moore, Grand Prelate of the Grand Encampment, Knights Templar of the United States of America. Bill was a great friend and one of the finest Prelates I have heard speak. For quite a few years, I thought that he was a minister. In fact, he was an accountant. His delivery was so good that he fooled a number of us. Every time I heard him do the Prelate's part, he touched my heart. I have never met a kinder Sir Knight than Bill. We who were associated with him are richer for that association. He truly lived his Masonry, and we will miss him. You will find Sir Knight Moore's In Memoriam and biography on page 9 of this issue. We extend to the family of Sir Knight Moore our deepest sympathy.

  • 2020 International League Field Managers Eight Il Clubs to Be Led by New Skippers This Season
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 11, 2020 2020 INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE FIELD MANAGERS EIGHT IL CLUBS TO BE LED BY NEW SKIPPERS THIS SEASON When the International League's 137th season opens on April 9, eight of the circuit’s fourteen teams will have a new manager leading the quest to capture the coveted Governors’ Cup trophy. Only six managers return from the 2019 season, although several of the League’s new field generals bring pre-existing ties to their teams and communities. It is the first time since 2006 that more than half of the circuit’s clubs changed managers during an offseason. The reining IL Manager of the Year Damon Berryhill is the International League’s longest- tenured manager, preparing to begin his fourth season at the helm of the Gwinnett Stripers. Also hoping to get his team back to the postseason is Brady Williams, who took Durham to the finals in his first year with the Bulls in 2019. They will be challenged in the South Division by another returning manager in Norfolk, Gary Kendall. The 2018 IL Manager of the Year, Lehigh Valley’s Gary Jones, will lead the IronPigs once again this season. Like Jones, Brian Esposito in Indianapolis is also at the helm for the third straight campaign. IL Hall of Famer Billy McMillon will manage the Red Sox for the franchise’s final season at McCoy Stadium in Pawtucket. Two men have found themselves moving from a coach’s role to the manager’s chair in 2020. Pennsylvania-native Doug Davis (former Syracuse manager) takes over in Scranton/Wilkes- Barre after three seasons coaching, while in Columbus, Ohio-native Andy Tracy is the new manager after helping lead the Clippers to the 2019 Governors’ Cup title as hitting coach.

  • Muehlebach Field Dedication July 3, 1923
    [page 1] Muehlebach Field Dedication July 3, 1923 Compliments KANSAS CITY BASEBALL CLUB AMERICAN ASSOCIATION [page 2] Proclamation HEY, red-blooded Americans, Fans, EVERYBODY! A new park, Muehlebach Field, dedicated to the great American sport, Baseball, will open Tuesday, July third, Brooklyn Avenue at 22nd. This event will be of interest to all who enjoy clean, healthful, outdoor recreation. The day has gone by when business men look upon a holiday as a lost opportunity. It is now considered an INVESTMENT, as employer and employe alike return, not only with renewed ambition, but with new thoughts and new ideas for which Old Man Success is always on the lookout. For this reason, I recommend that every employer forget the ever present serious side of life and attend the opening baseball game at Muehlebach Field. I also recommend that every employer as far as possible give the same privilege to his employes. To set the example for this recommendation, and to demonstrate its practicality, I declare Tuesday afternoon, July third, a half holiday for all City Hall Employes, beginning at Twelve o’clock (noon). (Signed) FRANK H. CROMWELL, Mayor. -2- [page 3] Program DEDICATORY ADDRESS THOS. J. HICKEY PRESIDENT AMERICAN ASSOCIATION RESPONSE GEO. E.
