The Future of a Baseball Tradition THE FUTURE OF A BASEBALL TRADITION NBC HISTORY The National Baseball Congress World Series was first played in 1935. However, the idea came a few years prior when Hap Dumont formed the idea of creating a State Tournament. The idea was conceived after watching a Sunday baseball game between circus clowns and local firemen. Hap Dumont, equipped with his new stadium, agreed to pay $1,000 to arguably the best pitcher ever, Satchel Paige, to come play in the inaugural NBC Semi-Pro National Tournament, thus the NBC World Series was formed. With over 800 NBC alumni having played at the Major League level, we will continue to strive to bring the very best talent to Wichita every year. HISTORY OF EVENTS 1935 1940 1948 1949 On 8/14/35, Honus Wagner, Dumont’s schemes had Ty Cobb managed the NBC Tournament filmed by known as “The Flying enduring impact on the Conroe (TX) Wildcats to a Universal, Warner Bros., Fox Dutchman” had the honor game of baseball, as he seventh place finish in the Movie tone and Paramount. of opening the 1935 NBC introduced the designated 1948 NBC World Series.

    A’s News Clips, Tuesday, April 12, 2011 Kurt Suzuki hits game-winning home run in 10th inning as A's beat White Sox By Joe Stiglich, Oakland Tribune CHICAGO -- The opportunities were few for the A's on Monday, but Kurt Suzuki was ready when he got his. His homer in the top of the 10th off Jesse Crain lifted the A's to a 2-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox in front of 20,057 fans at U.S. Cellular Field. It marked the A's third straight victory, and it was another example of their ability to make a lot out of a little. Left-hander Mark Buehrle bottled them up for eight innings and held them hitless through five. The A's managed just five hits total, yet claimed their fourth win in the past five games and evened their record at 5-5. "We dropped too many of those last year, those 10-, 11-inning ballgames," A's starting pitcher Dallas Braden said. "We'd like to turn that ship around and be on the other end of that." The A's went 4-7 in extra-inning affairs in 2010, the third-worst record in the American League. Good karma might be the only explanation for how they even extended Monday's game past the ninth. The Sox led 1-0 when Matt Thornton relieved Buehrle to start the ninth. Andy LaRoche greeted Thornton with a double. After Coco Crisp lined out, Daric Barton lofted a deep fly to the left-field corner.
