Manning, who is also the general manager of the Central Illinois College League (CICL) Decatur Blues team, was hired as Millikin's head baseball coach in November 2001. A 1998 graduate of MacMurray College with a degree in history/secondary education, Manning is currently working on his master's degree in communications at the University of Illinois-Springfield. While at MacMurray, the Highlanders finished 24th in the nation during Manning's senior season in 1997. The team was undefeated in both conference tournament and league games. In that season, Manning also earned All-Central Region second team honors. Before joining the MacMurray baseball team, Manning played for two years at Kaskaskia Community College in Centralia. During his sophomore season at Kaskaskia, Manning was selected to pitch in the region all-star game. Manning served as an assistant coach at MacMurray from August 1998 to May 2001 and was a student assistant during the 1997-98 academic year. He has also been a member of the American Baseball Coaches Association since 1999. Assistant Coach Jim Sammons Jim Sammons, a 2002 graduate of Millikin University, begins his 5th year of assistance to the Millikin baseball team. While at Millikin, he earned a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science and Sport. Coach Sammon's tenure began in 2000 as a student-assistant under former head coach, Jeff Holm. Following, 2 additional years as a student-assistant, Coach Sammons was promot- ed last season to Coach Manning's first assistant. As the 2003/2004 season takes form, Sammons has additionally assumed responsibilities as the recruiting coordinator. Outside of Millikin, Coach Sammons, a member of the American Baseball Coaches Association, remains heavily involved in baseball. In 2001, he served as an assistant at Mount Zion Jr. High and saw his team advance to the State Tournament. In the summer of 2003, Sammons sat alongside Head Coach, Josh Manning, as an assistant for the Decatur Blues. The Decatur Blues, of the prestigious Central Illinois Collegiate League (CICL), serves as a stepping stone for rising collegiate stars. Of the 2003 Decatur Blues, 4 were drafted by Major League Organizations. Student Assistant Coach Tony Lozano Antonio Lozano joins the Millikin coaching staff this season after serving the last four seasons as a player. In those four seasons he received three varsity letters. In 2003 Antonio started all 40 games behind the plate. Additionally, in 2003, Tony was the very first recipient of the Merle Chapman Award. In the 2004 season, Lozano's duties will mostly include assistance in run- ning practice and working directly with the three young talented catchers that have joined the Big Blue for 2004. baseball magazine credits The 2004 Baseball Magazine was prepared by the Sports Information Office.

  • Major League Baseball's I-Team
    Major League Baseball’s I-Team The I-Team is composed of players whose names contain enough unique letters to spell the team(s) for which they played. To select the team, the all-time roster for each franchise was compared to both its current name as well as the one in use when each player was a member of the team. For example, a member of the Dodgers franchise would be compared to both that moniker (regardless of the years when they played) as well as alternate names, such as the Robins, Superbas, Bridegrooms, etc., if they played during seasons when those other identities were used. However, if a franchise relocated and changed its name, the rosters would only be compared to the team name used when each respective player was a member. Using another illustration, those who played for the Senators from 1901 to 1960 were not compared to the Twins name, and vice versa. Finally, the most common name for each player was used (as determined by baseball- reference.com’s database). For example, Whitey Ford was used, not Edward Ford.

    FOUR DECADES OF SEATTLE MARINERS BASEBALL Each month during the 2017 season, Mariners Magazine will highlight a different era to celebrate the club’s 40th Anniversary. In this issue, we’ll take a look at the 1977 through 1983 seasons. (Part 1 of 6) By Mike Gastineau The first game in Seattle Mariners history was played on April 6, 1977, in front of a sellout crowd of 57,762. In an historic twist Diego Segui was the Opening Day starting pitcher for the Mariners. Eight years earlier, on October 1, 1969, Segui pitched the 9th inning of what would be the final game in the Seattle Pilots history. He gave up a run that tied the game but got the win when the Pilots scored in their half of the inning. His luck was not as good in 1977 as the Angels chased him in the 4th inning of a 7-0 loss. The opening night defeat aside, when the Seattle Mariners arrived on the baseball scene in April of 1977 AL West titles in 1976.

  • Miami Springs Golf Course History
    THE MIAMI SPRINGS GOLF COURSE Prepared by: Yvonne Shonberger Miami Springs Preservation Board Member Golf was originally started in Miami with a six-hole course around the Royal Palm Hotel in 1897. In 1898 Henry Flagler opened the Miami Country Club along NW 11th Street and 12th Ave along the Miami River. The course was a nine-hole course and was accessible from the Royal Palm Hotel by boat or a two- hour journey along a dirt road. James Bright and Glenn H. Curtiss became partners in land development and the Curtiss-Bright Ranch Company was incorporated January 27, 1921. On December 30, 1922, the corporate name was changed to the Curtiss-Bright Company. In 1921 the Curtiss-Bright Ranch Company was developing the City of Hialeah. Mr. Curtiss envisioned an adjacent community to the west of the Miami Canal as a planned residential community. The plan for the community included wide boulevards, large single-family residential lots, with stringent building and zoning laws and a golf course. The Curtiss-Bright Ranch Company began clearing the land in Country Club Estates, (City of Miami Springs) around 1922. A group of golfers known as the Miami Coconuts were without a course to play on. The Miami Coconuts did not have a clubhouse, held no regular meetings and in fact they only owned golf clubs. The group would meet in downtown Miami at the Martinique Hotel. It was in the hotel that H. B. "Dickie" Martin started the Miami Coconuts and its membership consisted of almost every golf-minded resident of the City of Miami.
