I'm writing an unauthorized autobiography. - STEVEN WRIGHT 2 PREFACE OKAY FANS, LISTEN UP! Let me set the record straight right off the bat (no puns intended) and tell you the truth: I AM A LIAR.

They say they’ve bought a truckload of products from the Home Shopping Network but have never heard of the Popeil Pocket Fisherman. They enlighten you with the trials and tribulations of their first sexual encounter, though they happened to be alone at the time.

  • The Cubs Win the World Series!
    Can’t-miss listening is Pat Hughes’ ‘The Cubs Win the World Series!’ CD By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Monday, January 2, 2017 What better way for Pat Hughes to honor his own achievement by reminding listeners on his new CD he’s the first Cubs broadcaster to say the memorable words, “The Cubs win the World Series.” Hughes’ broadcast on 670-The Score was the only Chi- cago version, radio or TV, of the hyper-historic early hours of Nov. 3, 2016 in Cleveland. Radio was still in the Marconi experimental stage in 1908, the last time the Cubs won the World Series. Baseball was not broadcast on radio until 1921. The five World Series the Cubs played in the radio era – 1929, 1932, 1935, 1938 and 1945 – would not have had classic announc- ers like Bob Elson claiming a Cubs victory. Given the unbroken drumbeat of championship fail- ure, there never has been a season tribute record or CD for Cubs radio calls. The “Great Moments in Cubs Pat Hughes was a one-man gang in History” record was produced in the off-season of producing and starring in “The Cubs 1970-71 by Jack Brickhouse and sidekick Jack Rosen- Win the World Series!” CD. berg.

  • PLAY BALL! MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL in BLOOMSBURG Did
    PLAY BALL! MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL IN BLOOMSBURG Did you ever dream of seeing major league baseball in Columbia County? It happened once in the past. During the recent American League Divisional Championship series between the New York Yankees and the Detroit Tigers, a few Columbia County long-time baseball fans were reminded of the series played between those same two teams at the Bloomsburg Fair in October 1925. The two major-league teams were scheduled for a three-game series during Fair week. They played on an improvised field on the racetrack infield in front of the grandstand. Each squad brought to town only the bare minimum of players; the Yankee pitchers when they were not on the mound played in the outfield. Two games were completed; the third day’s game was rained out and couldn’t be rescheduled because the teams left town for an engagement in Wilkes-Barre. The Tigers won both games, but both were close, exciting contests. The games were slated at 10:00am each day so as not to conflict with the trotting races held in the afternoons. Apparently, the Fair Board was hoping that the major leaguers would draw folks to the Fair in the usually-slack morning hours. And the scheme worked – the games drew upwards of 10,000 fans each day. At the time, the grandstand capacity was only 2,000, so the other fans crowded the railing around the oval track. In 1925 the Yankees were in the middle of their storied 1920s championship era. With Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig as mainstays, this was arguably the greatest baseball team ever assembled.

  • Branch Rickey Was Born in 1880 and Branch Rickey Grew up on a Modest Farm in Southern Wohio
    esley Branch Rickey was born in 1880 and Branch Rickey grew up on a modest farm in southern WOhio. His parents instilled Branch with General Manager, strong Christian values that would remain with him throughout his life. Schooled in a one room St. Louis Cardinals schoolhouse, he taught himself Latin and Greek and went on to attend Ohio Wesleyan University where he played baseball and football. While still in college, he was invited to play professional baseball. Wanting his parents’ approval for his involvement in pro ball, he pledged to them to never go into a baseball stadium on a Sunday, a promise that became a lifetime commitment. After a short stint as a catcher with the St. Louis Browns and New York Highlanders, he went on to complete his law degree at the University of Michigan. After coaching for a short time at Michigan, he spent most of the next ten years managing in the major leagues. It was Branch’s sharp eye for talent that brought him to the business side of baseball, where he would revolutionize the game. As General Manager for the St. Louis Cardinals, Rickey originated the concept of the “farm system”, utilizing minor league farm clubs to develop talent for major league teams. Soon the Cardinals were a National League power and teams everywhere were copying Branch’s system. Thanks to Rickey’s innovation and determination, the Cardinals produced nine pennants and six world championships from 1926 -1947. Later as president and general manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, Rickey decided that in order for baseball to be truly “the national pastime,” a long tradition of whites-only would have to be broken.
