  • Barney Deforge “Luckie No More” ©Diamondsinthedusk.Com
    Barney DeForge “Luckie No More” ©DiamondsintheDusk.com On a seasonably warm Friday evening in Winston-Salem’s venerable Southside May 14, 1948 Park, the homestanding Cardinals, behind the two-hit pitching of lefty Jack Southside Park Frisinger, take the measure of visiting Reidsville 5-0 in one of four Carolina (D) Winston-Salem, North Carolina League games played that day. At first glance, it seems like just another day of minor league baseball in the Tar Heel State. After all, Winston-Salem, the league’s preseason favorite, currently resides in first place with an impressive 18-7 mark while the fifth-place Luckies drop to 9-12 and a full seven games behind their hosts. And being shutout by the 20-year-old Frisinger, a rising star in the St. Louis Car- dinals farm system, comes as no surprise to Carolina League fans. Said “to be faster than Harvey Haddix,” the burgeoning Cardinals ace limits the Luckies to a pair of singles en route to securing the third of an eventual team-high 18 wins. The 6-foot-1 Kalamazoo, Michigan, native strikes out seven and walks three in the route-going effort. However, several events that take place during the game that are suspicious and, unfortunately, a harbinger of problems to come, both for DeForge and the Carolina League. First, Winston-Salem officials report to the police there is a person in the stands “making heavy bets,” giving Reidsville and two runs which meant that if the Cardinals won by three or more runs, he will win all bets placed.

  • Gone: Minor League Baseball Franchise Relocations in the Northeast
    PROCEEDINGS - AAG MIDDLE STATES DIVISION· VOL. 21, 1988 GOING, GOING~ GONE: MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL FRANCHISE RELOCATIONS IN THE NORTHEAST Jonathan I. Leib Syracuse University Department of Geography Syracuse, NY 13244 Within the past five years a number of cities in the northeast have explored the possibility of building baseball parks in order to attract minor league baseball franchises. In New York State, Binghamton, Buffalo, and Brooklyn have examined the economic feasibility of building their own stadia. Such studies have also be carried out in Scranton, Pennsylvania; Springfield, Massachusetts; and Wilmington, Delaware. The main public sector expense involved in trying to attract a minor league baseball franchise is the building and maintenance of a baseball stadium. However, Okner argues that stadia and arenas occupied by major league franchises do not generally operate at a profit. 1 Rees, Greytak, and Leib make the same argument for minor league ballparks.2 One reason why minor league stadia do not generally operate at a profit is that attendance at games is substantially lower than in the major leagues. In 1988, for example, the average major league team drew over two million fans. At the highest level of the minor leagues (AAA classification) the average team drew just under 320,000 spectators, while at the middle level (AA classification), the average team drew about 150,000 fans. 3 Given the possible low return from attendance receipts, it is not surprising that a city government may hesitate to build an expensive stadium. Although a stadium that is intended for a minor league team generally loses money, a baseball franchise does bring benefits to a community.

  • 2020 International League Field Managers Eight Il Clubs to Be Led by New Skippers This Season
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 11, 2020 2020 INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE FIELD MANAGERS EIGHT IL CLUBS TO BE LED BY NEW SKIPPERS THIS SEASON When the International League's 137th season opens on April 9, eight of the circuit’s fourteen teams will have a new manager leading the quest to capture the coveted Governors’ Cup trophy. Only six managers return from the 2019 season, although several of the League’s new field generals bring pre-existing ties to their teams and communities. It is the first time since 2006 that more than half of the circuit’s clubs changed managers during an offseason. The reining IL Manager of the Year Damon Berryhill is the International League’s longest- tenured manager, preparing to begin his fourth season at the helm of the Gwinnett Stripers. Also hoping to get his team back to the postseason is Brady Williams, who took Durham to the finals in his first year with the Bulls in 2019. They will be challenged in the South Division by another returning manager in Norfolk, Gary Kendall. The 2018 IL Manager of the Year, Lehigh Valley’s Gary Jones, will lead the IronPigs once again this season. Like Jones, Brian Esposito in Indianapolis is also at the helm for the third straight campaign. IL Hall of Famer Billy McMillon will manage the Red Sox for the franchise’s final season at McCoy Stadium in Pawtucket. Two men have found themselves moving from a coach’s role to the manager’s chair in 2020. Pennsylvania-native Doug Davis (former Syracuse manager) takes over in Scranton/Wilkes- Barre after three seasons coaching, while in Columbus, Ohio-native Andy Tracy is the new manager after helping lead the Clippers to the 2019 Governors’ Cup title as hitting coach.

On Wednesday night in downtown Amarillo, the Drillers shattered the long-standing record, crushing nine home runs in an 18-9 win in Game 2 of the TLCS. Jeter Downs hit three of the nine which tied the Tulsa all-time record and set the all-time Tulsa playoff record. The 18 runs and 18 hits were both season-highs for the Drillers. The victory evened the best-of-five series at 1-1. Not to be overshadowed by the excessive offense in Game 2, was the fantastic work of the Drillers bullpen. After the Drillers regained the lead in the top of the second, Luis Vasquez did not allow a run over the next two innings. Michael Boyle followed with three strong innings, allowing only a solo home run. Shea Spitzbarth followed by striking out three and Nolan Long finished off the win by striking out three in the bottom of the ninth.

The effectiveness of promotions in Minor League Baseball: A study of the Eastern League by Collin R. Zucker Honors Thesis Department of Economics University of Richmond Richmond, VA April 27, 2018 Advisor: Dr. Jim Monks 1. Introduction Minor League Baseball (MiLB) is comprised of 247 teams playing in 17 leagues at six different levels. Every team in these leagues is an affiliate of a Major League Baseball (MLB) team, but many are privately owned and are therefore financially independent. While MiLB primarily serves as a development environment for future MLB players, profit maximization is still a goal of various front offices. Minor League Baseball has existed for over a century but only recently have teams been regarded as profitable investments. In Forbes’ “Most Valuable Minor League Teams” list published in 2016, the average value of the top 30 teams was $37.5 million, an increase of 35% since 2013 (Klebnikov, 2016).

  • Jack Hurley Hagerstown 1916-17, 1921-22 Manager/1St Baseman Class D, Blue Ridge League by Mark Zeigler
    Jack Hurley Hagerstown 1916-17, 1921-22 Manager/1st Baseman Class D, Blue Ridge League By Mark Zeigler Considered one of the best all-around hitters, and among the most popular players in the early years of the Class D, Blue Ridge League, Jack Hurley left an impressionable mark in baseball circles in the Hagerstown, MD and Washington, D.C. region. The eldest son of Patrick and Hannah B. Hurley, John L. Hurley was born on May 1, 1890 in Dedham, Massachusetts. His father was a second generation Irish immigrant, his mother a Wisconsin native. He was an accomplished athlete and team captain of the baseball team at Dedham High School (MA), when on June 5, 1908, the high school junior jumped into a brook while still wearing his baseball uniform to save the life of 13-year old, Amos J. Webster. When Jack was in his late teens, he moved to the Washington, D.C. area, where he excelled as a third baseman on the sandlot and amateur diamonds. He was well known for his exploits in the Capital City League, and had captained the Rock Hill College team in 1908, as an 18-year old. His 6-foot-one, 175 lb. frame stood out among the other young men on the college circuit, and his athletic prowess caught the attention of Philadelphia Athletics owner/manager, Connie Mack, who offered Hurley and “Dutch” Heinrich a try-out in the fall of 1908 with his American League club. Though he did not make the team, he did earned Mack’s respect as a quality ball player, which would become evident several years later, when Jack managed in the Minor Leagues.
