    Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings August 2, 2018 THIS DAY IN REDS HISTORY 1939-The Reds announce plans to add 3,100 seats to Crosley Field, by adding a second deck to the pavilions down the left and right field lines MLB.COM Poor defense, baserunning sink Reds in finale Four-run rally in 7th cut short after Casali thrown out at home plate By Mark Sheldon MLB.com @m_sheldon Aug. 1st, 2018 DETROIT -- Since he became Reds interim manager in April, Jim Riggleman has made attention to detail a big part of his daily message to the players. At times throughout the season, Riggleman has organized drills that focus on fundamentals from baserunning, to cutoff throws, covering bases and more. So it wasn't hard to see the disappointment Riggleman felt following a 7-4 Reds loss to the Tigers that completed Detroit's two- game series sweep. Numerous mistakes befuddled Cincinnati defensively and on the bases at Comerica Park. "When you play like that, you're not supposed to win," Riggleman said. "It's not bad effort, it's bad performance. We just have to somehow find a way to clean it up. It was very sloppy." Some of the mistakes included: • Left fielder Phillip Ervin twice missed the cutoff man on hits and it cost the Reds two runs. • A relay throw from shortstop Jose Peraza one-hopped over catcher Curt Casali's head for another run. • Casali ran into a double play during a four-run rally in the seventh inning. "That's the difference between a good club and a really good club," Casali said.

  • <^ the Schreiber Times
    < ^ The Schreiber Times Vol. XXVIII Paul D. Schreiber High School Wednesday, September 30, 1987 ZANETTI TAKES CHARGE Board Names Guidance Head as Acting Principal by Dave Weintraub When Dr. Frank Banta, Schreiber's principal for eight years, departed at the end (rf the last school year for a different job, he left some large shoes to fill. The school board and Superintendent Dr. William Heebink set out on a search for a new principal over the summer. Many applicants were reviewed, but no one was picked. The board and Dr. Heebink decided to extend the search through the 1987-88 school year. To fill the void Dr. Banta had left, they asked John Zanetti, Chairman of the Guidance Department, to serve as acting principal. He accepted, and was given a ten-month contract, which began in September. Most people who know Mr. Zanetti know him as a soft- spoken and amiable man. He has been in the Port Washington school system for many years, and he had humble beginnings. He started work at Salem School as a physical education teacher in 1958. He stayed there for six years and during that time in- troduced wrestling and lacrosse to the high school. He became the first coach of those teams. After Salem, he taught physical educa- tion at Schreiber for two years. He became a guidance counselor in 1967. He was appointed guidance chairman in 1980. He has now moved to the top of Schreiber's administrative lad- der. Has his transition been smooth? "I have an ulcer," he jokes. "Actually, I think I've ad- justed better than I thought I would.

  • 'Steely Eyes,' Chaw in Cheek, Dressing-Down Style – Zimmer Had Many Faces
    ‘Steely eyes,’ chaw in cheek, dressing-down style – Zimmer had many faces By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Friday, June 6th, 2014 Everybody knew the multiple sides – and resulting expressive faces – of Don Zimmer when they shoehorned themselves into his Wrigley Field manager’s office the late afternoon of Friday, Sept. 8, 1989. All had seen and enjoyed the cheru- bic, cheeky chaw-cradling “Popeye” image of Zimmer has he held court, telling stories of his already- astounding 38-year journey through baseball. He had taken the Cubs a long way already, to first place with three weeks to go in this shocking season, and had won friends and influenced people. Yet the media masses also had wit- nessed the darker side of Zimmer. There was the quick temper and jump-down-the-throat style of an old-school baseball lifer with few personal refinements. Above all, the eyes had it, transforming the cherub Don Zimmer (left) confers with Andre Dawson at spring into something seemingly a lot more training before the memorable 1989 season. Photo cred- sinister. it Boz Bros. “He had those steely eyes,” said then Cubs outfielder Gary Varsho. “When he was mad, his eyes opened wide and they penetrated through you. One day I got picked off after www.ChicagoBaseballMuseum.org [email protected] leading off ninth with a single. Oh, my God, coming back to the dugout facing those steely blue eyes.” On this day, the assembled media waited for the bulging eye sockets, the reddened face and the possible verbal outburst. Zimmer and buddy Jim Frey, doubling as Cubs general manager, appeared as if they lost their best friend.
