  • "Electric October" by Kevin Cook
    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.

    Win, Lose, or Draw Tribe By FRANCIS E. STANN latsWip KncfgMg Oooooh-Day for the Autograph Hounds Probably the first toumairient at which the genuine, bug-bitten golf fan* were outnumbered turned out to be one of the bigger and more democratic social events of the season. Mingling with Secre- tary of the Navy Porrestal, Gens. Eisenhower, Grove and Bradley, Admiral Nlmitz, Senator Taft and Attorney Gen- eral Clark, among others, were upward of 7,000 other guests of the Columbia Country Club, com- posed chiefly of autograph hounds and camera fiends. And who do you suppose most of the guests came to see? Der Bingle. Harry Lillis Crosby. As far as the people were concerned Bing was the biggest celebrity in the Celebrities Tournament. Bing Crosby is owner of a major league baseball team and there were two other baseball owners on hand, Clark Griffith and Del Webb. But neither owns a set of pipes like Crosby. That was the difference. That was the difference between Bing and Jack Dempsey, Gene Tunney, Bobby PMaeb BUnn Jones, Gene Sarazen, Babe Didrikson and even Baseball Commissioner Happy Chandler, a well-known tenor. It was the star-gazer’s dream come true. It was manna from Heaven for the camera shop*, whose cupboards must be empty of film. It was Oooooh-Day for the bobby soxers and autograph hounds. And for the comparatively small number of old-time golf fans the glorious pages of time were turned back when Jones, Sarazen, Bobby Cruick- shank and Walter Hagen played in the same foursome.

  • Wind-Blown Cubs Triumph Turns Into a Bunch of Hot Air in Game 3 Witnesses to ‘45 Series Should Be Allowed Into ‘16 Gala
    Wind-blown Cubs triumph turns into a bunch of hot air in Game 3 Witnesses to ‘45 Series should be allowed into ‘16 gala. See story below... By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Friday, October 28, 2016 A ground ball cannot be hit for a home run. And mix in key strikeouts, including Javy Baez’s whiff on a high Cody Allen fastball for the final out, and the result was the second shutout thrown by the Cleveland Indians against the Cubs in three 2016 World Series games. The Indians got a form of hoodoo, or mojo, or something dropped from the sky with their pitching staff. They have shut down the offensively robust Boston Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays. Now they are working on the Cubs, and they throttled their hosts 1-0 in the first World Series game at Wrigley Field since Oct. 10, 1945. Josh Tomlin was With a seemingly short starting rotation, Cleveland has tossed five hardly home-run shutouts in 11 postseason games. prone as he was in the regular season. The result has been witnessed before, but rarely catalogued in me- dia accounts. The wind blows out at Clark and Addison, a home-run barrage is pre- dicted, and a Cubs shutout is the end product. The outblowing flow was described as “brisk,” fitting for a vintage 1970s Cubs-Phillies- Mike Schmidt slugfest ending in a football-sized score. Yet the pitching tag team of Josh Tomlin, Andrew Miller, Bryan Shaw and closer Allen kept the Cubs well-grounded when they weren’t executing a clutch K.

    Forgotten Heroes: Sam Hairston by Center for Negro League Baseball Research Dr. Layton Revel Copyright 2020 “Sam Hairston Night” – Colorado Springs (1955) “Sam Hairston Night” at the Colorado Springs Sky Sox Ball Park Sam Receives a New Car (1955) Hairston Family at Colorado Springs Ball Park “Sam Hairston Night” (front row left to right - Johnny, Sam Jr., Wife and Jerry) (1955) Samuel Harding Hairston was born on January 20, 1920 in the small town of Crawford, Lowndes County which is in the eastern part of the state of Mississippi. He was the second of thirteen children (eight boys and five girls) born to Will and Clara Hairston. Will Hairston moved his family from Crawford to the Birmingham area in 1922. The primary reason for the move was to find better work so that he could support his large family. Will became a coal miner and worked alongside Garnett Bankhead who was the father of the five Bankhead brothers who all played in the Negro Leagues. By 1930 Will had gained employment with American Cast Iron and Pipe (ACIPCO) as a laborer in their pipe shop. According to United States census records the Hairston family also lived in North Birmingham and Sayreton. Sam spent his formative years in Hooper City and attended Hooper City High School. Reportedly Sam did not finish high school and when he was 16 he told the employment office at ACIPCO that he was 18 and was given a job working for the company. According to Sam he went to work to help support the family and give his brothers and sisters the opportunity to go to school.
