EDITOR'S NOTE: Two years ago John Pruett, Sports Editor of the Huntsville TIMES, wrote what I believe is the only comprehensive survey of the history of sporting activity in the Huntsville area. This survey appeared in twelve segments in the TIMES during May, 1977. It, in Mr. Pruett's words, "was designed to focus on the highlights of the athletic heritage of Huntsville, which has always been one of Alabama's most sports-minded cities." Sports are a part of our lives, a most important segment of popular history, and is certainly a proper subject for study by the historian.

  • Jesus Cures a Man Born Blind Until I Was Eleven Years Old I Had
    Jesus cures a man born blind Until I was eleven years old I had never seen a major league baseball game. There was no television back then and all we could do was listen to games broadcast over the radio. With my ear to the speaker I could hear the chatter of the crowd punctuated by distant cheers. I could hear the crack of the bat, the call of the vendors, the voice of the broadcaster whose descriptions helped me imagine what was going on. Sometimes when the game was played in another city all I heard was the voice of the sportscaster and the click–click-click of a telegraph receiver - leaving me even deaf to the action. Then one day my mother took me to an American League home game and as I stepped out onto the third tier of Philadelphia’s Shibe Park grandstand, I finally experienced the real thing. I saw what until then I had only heard. There was the manicured green outfield, the precisely outlined infield, the banners of previous championships, people in summer outfits, the distant bleachers loud with catcalls. And then there were the visiting Boston Red Sox and Jimmy Foxx and Jim Tabor in the flesh. And of course there were the A’s with their gothic blue A prominent upon the left of their white flannel shirts. And there were the fly balls so gracefully caught by the outfielders and rocket like grounders so casually picked up by the infielders and whipped around the bases; and hot dogs and Cracker Jack.

  • Joe Dimaggio's 56-Game Hitting Streak
    General Admission DiMaggio’s Hitting Streak by S. Derby Gisclair Member, Society for American Baseball Research On May 15, 1941, no one took much notice of Joe DiMaggio’s second inning single off Chicago’s Eddie Smith, except for the fact that it scored Phil Rizzuto and accounted for the only Yankee run in a dismal 3 – 1 loss. The New York Yankees were struggling to stay in contention for the American League pennant, and by mid-month they had clawed their way back into striking distance. However, this would be the first of 91 hits between May 15th and July 17th that comprise Joe DiMaggio’s remarkable 56-game hitting streak. Two weeks later, before a paltry crowd of 6,000 in Cleveland on June 2nd, the Yankees lost to the Indians by a score of 7 – 5 in a game that saw DiMaggio extend his streak to 19 games, collecting hit number 26 in the second inning off Bob Feller and hit number 27, a double, in the eighth inning. After the game the team was informed of the death of Lou Gehrig. With the death of their captain and teammate, the Yankees and the baseball world mourned Lou Gehrig and still DiMaggio’s streak would remain largely unnoticed. Instead of being hindered by the pressure of a pennant race and the death of Gehrig, DiMaggio became energized. From June 7th to June 20th he hit at a .468 pace as the Yankees began a stretch in which they would capture 41 of their next 47 games. The press began to take notice.

    The Boston Red Sox Tuesday, June 4, 2019 * The Boston Globe Red Sox add a pair of infielders on Day 1 of the draft Alex Speier With the No. 43 overall pick in the MLB Draft, the Red Sox selected shortstop Cameron Cannon from the University of Arizona on Monday night. Cannon was named a Collegiate Baseball second-team All- American after hitting .397/.478/.651 with eight homers and 29 doubles. He led Division 1 in doubles. “We like a lot about him,” Red Sox VP of amateur scouting Mike Rikard said of Cannon. “He’s a very good hitter. We like his swing path. He does things as far as controlling the strike zone and limiting his strikeouts that we value. He’s got good power now and we think there may be more evolving power he has a chance to grow into as he continues to mature as a hitter.” The Red Sox have had plenty of looks over multiple years at Cannon, who established himself as a sophomore in 2018 as a clear candidate to follow as a junior, with area scout Vaughn Williams playing the lead role in the process. Cannon also played last summer for Falmouth in the Cape League. The Red Sox defined the 21-year-old as a shortstop in announcing his selection, though there are questions about whether he will end up at another position.
