I lusted after the various sports games advertised in the magazines until my mom finally relented and bought Strat-O-Matic Football for me in 1972. I got SOM’s baseball game a year later and I was hooked. I would get the new card set each year and attempt to play the in-progress season by moving the traded players around and turning ‘nameless player cards” into that year’s key rookies. I switched to APBA in the late ‘70’s because they started releasing some complete old season sets and the idea of playing with those really caught my fancy. Between then and the mid-nineties, I collected a lot of card sets.

  • Super-Senior Players Still Got Game?
    Super-senior players still got game? Part 1, The National League Squad January 1, 2013 By George Vrechek Collectors have a natural penchant for organizing their collections. As youngsters we may have sorted our cards by number or favorite players. The kids on my block in the 50s played baseball dice games with their cards. Snake eyes, or a one and a one, was a homerun whether Ted Williams was batting or Ted Abernathy. Organizing the teams While the game didn’t make any statistical sense, it did make sense to us to have your “singles” organized by team, all ready to go for the dice games. The teams were kept current by checking the daily sports section for player transactions. If Enos Slaughter got traded to the Yankees, his card was promptly removed from the St. Louis Cardinals’ stack and moved to the Yanks. Sometimes we created cards for rookies not yet appearing on their own card or put the right uniforms on traded players by doctoring a duplicate of a similar-looking player. Minor leaguers, retirees, and deceased If a player went back to the minors, he went into a stack at the back of my card box. If I knew he had retired, he went into another stack. There weren’t too many deceased player cards, but they may have had their own section as well. Had I continued organizing and updating my cards from the 50s, I would now have no one with any team (unless you count those employed as goodwill ambassadors or spring training coaches).

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} 1954 the Year Willie Mays
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} 1954 The Year Willie Mays and the First Generation of Black Superstars Changed Major League Baseball Baseball: the definitive autobiography of Ted Williams and 7 other noteworthy books. A number of intriguing subjects make it into this lineup of baseball books, from how the Brooklyn Dodgers ended up in Los Angeles to a replay of the most closely contested World Series ever to an 800-page examination of Ted Willams's life on and off the field. Here are excerpts from 8 noteworthy new books about baseball. 1. “1954: The Year Willie Mays and the First Generation of Black Superstars Changed Major League Baseball Forever” By Ross Atkin. Bill Madden. Da Capo Press. “Growing up in the poor section of Mobile, Alabama, [Hank] Aaron picked cotton on a farm and delivered twenty-five-pound blocks of ice as a youth, jobs he later said possibly helped in greater strengthening his hands and wrists. At Central High School he was a two-sport star in baseball and football, and he turned down several football scholarships to pursue a career in baseball. He signed his first pro contract as a junior in high school with the Mobile Black Bears, an independent Negro League Team. Then, in November of 1951 he signed with the Indianapolis Clowns of the Negro American League. In twenty-six games for the Clowns he hit .366, with fiver homers, thirty-three RBI, and nine stolen bases. The major league scouts took notice, a half dozen of them following the Clowns for the first part of the season.

  • Issue 41 Jan 2016
    Issue 41 Jan 2016 A s we begin a New Year, I felt it was time to look back and say, thank you, to the 73 former big league players, managers and coaches who served during World War II and are still with us. In the region of 1,300 players with major league experience (either before, during or after the war) were in the military between 1941 and 1945. Some were in the prime of their career. Others were starting their journey through the bush leagues, while others would not begin that journey until the war ended. At the beginning of the 1940s, baseball was truly America’s pastime. Major league teams drew capacity crowds on a daily basis and nearly 5,000 minor league players were fine-tuning their skills with 287 teams com- peting in 43 leagues spread across the country. But as Japan began to fulfil its territorial ambitions in the Pacif- ic and German troops swarmed through Europe at an alarming rate, those halcyon days would soon be gone as the United States began preparing to defend itself in the face of inevitable war. More than 400 play- ers in the major leagues, together with 4,000 minor leaguers, gave up their jobs, swapped flannels for military uniforms and went to war. Of the 73 former big league players, managers and coaches who are still living, the youngest is Don Hasenmayer, who turned 88 last April, and the oldest is Mike Sandlock, who turned 100 last October. What I find hard to believe, however, is how little information there is available on these heroes of our game.
