  • Dave Elmore Named King of Baseball
    For Immediate Release November 17, 2016 Dave Elmore Named King of Baseball ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Minor League Baseball announced today that David G. Elmore, owner and founder of Elmore Sports Group, has been named the 2016 King of Baseball. The King of Baseball is a long-standing tradition in which Minor League Baseball recognizes a veteran of professional baseball for longtime dedication and service. Elmore will receive the King of Baseball Award at the Baseball Winter Meetings Banquet on Sunday, Dec. 4, at Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland. “This is a truly amazing honor to be named the King of Baseball,” said Elmore. “There is nothing I have enjoyed more than being a part of Minor League Baseball for these past 36 years and realizing the great good our teams do to bring our communities together and provide countless charitable benefits.” “Dave Elmore has had a long and illustrious career as a Minor League Baseball owner and operator, and he has served Minor League Baseball in a number of roles over the years,” said Minor League Baseball President & CEO Pat O’Conner. “He has truly earned this honor through all of his hard work and tireless efforts for the betterment of the game and it is my pleasure to present him with this award.” Elmore founded the Elmore Sports Group in 1969, which now consists of six Minor League Baseball teams, including the Colorado Springs Sky Sox, San Antonio Missions, Inland Empire 66ers, Lynchburg Hillcats, Idaho Fall Chukars and Eugene Emeralds. The company also owns hockey and soccer teams, along with facility management, travel, hospitality, special events and concession companies.

  • 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.
