    John Kosner Home World U.S. Politics Economy Business Tech Markets Opinion Life & Arts Real Estate WSJ. Magazine Search BOOKS | BOOKSHELF SHARE FACEBOOKThe Salt of the Diamond TWITTERA look back at the 1947 World Series—in which Joe DiMaggio and Jackie Robinson played—focusing on six of its unsung heroes. Edward Kosner reviews ‘Electric October’ by Kevin Cook. EMAIL PERMALINK PHOTO: BETTMANN ARCHIVE By Edward Kosner Sept. 28, 2017 6:33 pm ET SAVE PRINT TEXT 7 Of all sports, baseball lives the most in its past. Those meticulous statistics help, of course. And the fact that, over the years, the game has attracted more gifted writers than any other, from Ring Lardner to John Updike, Robert Coover and Philip Roth. Random baseball moments—not just epic coups like Bobby Thomson’s 1951 “miracle” home run—persist in memory long after they should have evanesced. Kevin Cook’s heartfelt and entertaining “Electric October” is ostensibly about the 1947 World Series between Joe DiMaggio’s Yankees and the Dodgers of Jackie Robinson, Pee Wee Reese and Dixie Walker. The book is really about the lost drama and culture of mid- 20th-century baseball still embedded in the minds of old-timers. A onetime editor at Sports Illustrated, Mr. Cook doesn’t focus on the stars DiMaggio and Robinson. Instead he tells the stories of two baseball lifers—the Yankee manager Bucky Harris and the Dodger skipper Burt Shotton—and four bit players: Yankee journeyman pitcher Bill Bevens and Dodgers pinch hitter Cookie Lavagetto, who broke up Bevens’s no- RECOMMENDED VIDEOS hitter in game four; Al Gionfriddo, a diminutive scrub who kept Brooklyn in the series with NYC Sets Up Traveler- a sensational catch in game six; and George (Snuffy) Stirnweiss, a Yankee infielder who was 1.

  • A Tribute to Jackie Robinson
    A TRIBUTE TO JACKIE ROBINSON A MAN FOR ALL TIMES When most African Americans think of Jackie Robinson, they think of the ultimate symbol of racial pride and progress in the sports arena. Jackie Robinson represented that symbol when he was chosen as the first African American to play in modern times for the Major League Brooklyn Dodgers. Robinson was chosen to fill these shoes by Branch Rickey, president and general manager of the Dodgers. October 23, 1945 was the date that Robinson signed a contract to play with the Montreal Royals, a minor league affiliate of the Dodgers. This was Robinson's official first step to the majors, which came on April 15, 1947 when he entered Ebbets Field to play baseball with the Dodgers. This April 15, 1997 will be the 50th Anniversary of the celebrated date. Jack (Jackie) Roosevelt Robinson was born in Cairo, Georgia on January 31, 1919. He was the youngest of the five children of Jerry and Mallie Robinson. When Jackie's father Jerry, a sharecropper, left home seeking work, his mother, Mallie, decided to move west, seeking a better life with her children by her side. She was able to find a house in the suburbs of Pasadena, California. Life was not that easy for the Robinsons, being the only black family in this not so friendly area of California. Jackie and his older brother, Mack, took to sports early on in their school years. Mack became a world-class sprinter, and, by 1936, he was invited to compete in the 200 meter dash in the Olympics held in Berlin, Germany.

  • NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture a Nd Traditions
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture a nd Traditions By Ned Hémard Golden Brown Of the more than 18,000 players who have played Major League baseball, one player‟s multi-faceted career has no parallel. Often referred to as “Golden Boy” during his baseball career, Robert William “Bobby” Brown (born October 25, 1924) played 548 regular-season games for the New York Yankees alongside some of the game‟s greatest legends: Joe DiMaggio, Yogi Berra and Mickey Mantle. He did all this while also pursuing his medical degree at Tulane University in New Orleans. The 91-year-old former star third baseman and cardiologist (with a lifetime batting average of .279 with 22 home runs) served as interim president of the Texas Rangers and president of Professional Baseball‟s American League from 1984 to 1994. During his eight-year career with the Yankees (1946-1952, 1954), he appeared in four World Series (1947, 1949, 1950 and 1951) for New York, batting .439 in 17 games (a record for batters with more than 20 at-bats). Baseball card images of “Golden Boy” Bobby Brown Brown, who threw right-handed and batted left-handed, gained a reputation for being a “clutch hitter.” In baseball parlance, that‟s a player with a knack for coming up with the “big” hit. For those readers unversed in baseball statistics, a player‟s batting average is the batter‟s performance expressed as a ratio of his safe hits per official times at bat (or, more simply expressed, the number of hits divided by the number of times at bat).
