  • After One of the Worst Starts Ever to a Baseball Career, John J. Mcgraw Became a Sports Legend As a Champion Player and Manager in the Early 20Th Century
    After one of the worst starts ever to a baseball career, John J. McGraw became a sports legend as a champion player and manager in the early 20th century. John Joseph McGraw was born in Truxton, Cortland County, on April 7, 1873. His relationship with his father grew strained after John’s mother and four siblings died during an epidemic in the winter of 1884-5. John left home while still in school, where he starred on the baseball team. Obsessed with the game, he spent the money he earned from odd jobs on baseball equipment and rulebooks. In 1890, John decided to make a career of baseball. He started out earning $5 a game for the Truxton Grays. When the Grays’ manager took over the Olean franchise of the New York-Penn League, John became his third baseman. He committed eight Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division [reproduction errors in his rst game with Olean. After six games, he number LC-DIG-ggbain-34093] was cut from the team. McGraw kept trying. He played shortstop for Wellsville in the Western New York League and showed skill as a hitter and baserunner. After the 1890 season, McGraw joined the American All-Stars, a team that toured the southern states and Cuba during the winter. In 1891, a team of All-Stars and Florida players challenged the Cleveland Spiders of the American Association, one of the era’s two major leagues, to a spring-training exhibition game. Cleveland won, but McGraw got three hits in ve at-bats. Coverage of the game in The Sporting News inspired several teams to offer McGraw contracts.

  • Go-Go to Glory
    Durable Lollar found niche as White Sox anchor, run-producer By John McMurray Soft spoken and self-effacing, Sherman Lollar provided a strong defensive presence be-hind the plate during his 12 seasons with the Chicago White Sox. An All-Star catcher in seven seasons of his 18-year major-league career, Lollar won the first three American League Gold Glove awards from 1957 through 1959. Although he was not known as a power hitter, Lollar hit 155 career home runs and collected 1,415 hits. He also produced one of the White Sox’ few bright moments in the 1959 World Series apart from their Game One victory, a two-out, three-run homer that tied Game Four in the seventh inning. (Unfortunately the Sox lost that game, 5-4.) Even though Lollar played well and received awards during the 1950s, he did not receive as much national recognition as fellow catcher Yogi Berra, who won three Most Valuable Player awards. As Red Gleason wrote in The Saturday Evening Post in 1957, “It is the fate of some illustrious men to spend a career in the shadow of a contemporary. Adlai Stevenson had his Dwight Eisenhower. Lou Gehrig had his Babe Ruth. Bob Hope had his Bing Crosby. And Sherman Lollar has his Yogi Berra.” John Sherman Lollar Jr. was born on August 23, 1924, in Durham, Arkansas. His father, John Sherman Lollar Sr., had been a semipro baseball player and was a veteran of World War I. When Lollar Jr. was three years old, he moved with his family to Fayetteville, Arkansas, where his parents opened a grocery store.

    The Colonel and Hug Steinberg, Steve Investors Business Daily By Michael Mink Media Mention October 6 , 2015 Rec’d: October 14, 2015 1 For Miller Huggins, the choice of a baseball career was a matter of listening to his heart. Oh, and future President William Howard Taft. Huggins was the first legendary manager of the New York Yankees, who'd had seven skippers in 10 years before his 1918 arrival. Owner Jacob Ruppert credited Huggins with building the first Yankees dynasty and laying the foundation for the others. Under Huggins' watch, Babe Ruth was acquired and flourished at the plate, and Lou Gehrig was signed and developed. Huggins led the Yankees to the first three of their 27 world titles. His resume earned him a place in the Baseball Hall of Fame. At the University of Cincinnati, Huggins captained the baseball team and attended their law school, where Taft was one of his professors. Huggins graduated in 1902, passed the bar, clerked and was at a crossroads. "You can become a pleader or a player — not both," Taft told Huggins. "Try baseball; you seem to like it better." Taft read Huggins correctly. Huggins' Keys Builder of the New York Yankees' first dynasty, winning three world titles. Inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1964. Overcame: Pressure to reach the top and stay there. Lesson: Don't wilt vs. challenges, embrace them. "Leadership means keeping the morale and spirit of the team at the right level. Sometimes overconfidence has to be toned down (or) the team must be lifted from a mental slump." "No suitor ever laid out as careful a plan to obtain his love as I.
