    EBAC History – 1934-1985 from the 20Th Anniversary Brochure

    EBAC History – 1934-1985 From the 20th Anniversary brochure ELECTRIC BOAT A.C. BOOK OF SPORTS By John J. DeGange ABOUT THE AUTHOR John J. DeGange, sports editor of the New London Day, has been writing sports in this area for 30 years. His knowledge, experience and ability in addition to his close association with our activities throughout our 20-year period make him uniquely qualified to record this history. He is well known for a previous historical work, "100 Years of Harvard-Yale Rowing," written for the centennial of the Harvard-Yale Regatta in 1952. On the Sunday afternoon of March 25, 1934, a warm spring sun heralded the approach of the baseball season, but in New London sports circles there was an undercurrent of pessimism. The prospects for organizing a City Baseball league were not good. Of the six clubs that had participated the year before, two had disbanded and another proposed to cut loose and play independently. That left three teams, hardly enough to form a league. At least one more club was needed. Bleak was the picture confronting officials of the City league when they heard a grapevine report that "Ship and Engine" was thinking about going into baseball again and might be interested in joining the league. The man who would know about it, league officials were told, was a fellow named Eaton -Richard Eaton. The report of Ship and Engine's baseball revival came under the heading of news that was important if true. It had been many years since the company was represented in industrial or community athletics.

Samuel Tracy, for whom the town was named, formed Sewanee Mining Company with four other investors in 1852, purchased Wooten’s land and other lands on the plateau, and built a railroad to the coal site. In financial straits after extending the railroad to what became Tracy City, Sewanee Mining Company was reorganized in 1860 and again after the Civil War as Tennessee Coal and Railroad Company. Arthur St. Clair Colyar, an attorney, political leader, editor and publisher of Nashville American and one of the architects of development of the New South following the Civil War became sole stockholder and president.

I lusted after the various sports games advertised in the magazines until my mom finally relented and bought Strat-O-Matic Football for me in 1972. I got SOM’s baseball game a year later and I was hooked. I would get the new card set each year and attempt to play the in-progress season by moving the traded players around and turning ‘nameless player cards” into that year’s key rookies. I switched to APBA in the late ‘70’s because they started releasing some complete old season sets and the idea of playing with those really caught my fancy. Between then and the mid-nineties, I collected a lot of card sets.
