  • The Longest Throw
    The Longest Throw by Steven P. Gietschier Don Grate proved in Greenfield, Ohio, that he could kick a football. He proved in Columbus that he could shoot a basketball. And he proved in Chattanooga, Tennessee, that he could throw a baseball - farther than anyone else. And then he proved it again and again. In the 1950s, when ballplayers were more scornful of the threat of injury than they are today and when minor-league games were often enlivened by such field events as cow-milking contests and egg-tossing relays, Grate, a major-league pitcher turned minor-league outfielder; three times set the record for throwing a baseball for distance. He didn't own the record for long, it is true, but, to hear Grate tell it, the mark should still be his. His best throw, he says, went farther than could be measured, certainly farther than the throw since recognized as the world's longest. Don Grate may not have set out to establish the record he did, but even at Greenfield's Edward Lee McClain High School, he was an outstanding athlete. He earned four varsity letters in both basketball and football and another three in baseball. He won All-Ohio honors in basketball and could have attended the University of Kentucky to play for Adolph Rupp. But Grate decided to attend Ohio State. He wanted an OSU degree to get a teaching and coaching job in Ohio, and he wanted to play for the Buckeyes freshman basketball coach, former All-American Jimmy Hull, himself a Greenfield native.

  • The Glynn West Baseball Memorabilia Collection in the Words of Candy West Introduction to Glynn West Glynn West Wasn't a Famou
    The Glynn West Baseball Memorabilia Collection in the words of Candy West Introduction to Glynn West Glynn West wasn’t a famous baseball player. He wasn’t a big league manager or flashy major league executive. He certainly wasn’t an autograph seeker or collector. Glynn West was a humble, soft-spoken man who devoted his life to his family first and baseball second. It was a very close second, but family really did come first. So much so that when Charles Finley offered him the GM position in Oakland with the newly relocated A’s, Dad turned him down; he didn’t want to uproot his young family. So Dad stayed in Birmingham, at Rickwood Field, where he’d worked since 1947. His first job was changing the scoreboard, humble beginnings for a man who would go on to become The Sporting News’ Double A Executive of the Year, Birmingham’s GM, the Southern League’s VP, and Finley’s #1 pick for a franchise that would go on to win three consecutive World Series. Intro to entire collection Going through the baseball stuff in a thorough manner was never on my to-do list largely because I didn't know there was much to go through. After all, Dad wasn’t a collector by any stretch of the definition. Digging through the basement, attic, looking in closets and under beds for stuff to sell on eBay, I started to find lots of cool baseball things. Lots of cool baseball things. I started researching the things I found. With every “new” find, I hurled myself off higher and higher cliffs of obscure dusty minor league minutiae.
