  • '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.

One of the most influential sports figures in the state of Oregon and the Pacific Northwest, Casey has made Oregon State a national power. • Oregon State finished the 2017 campaign with a school-record 56 wins. The team went 56-6 overall, and its .903 winning percent- age tied for the fourth-best in NCAA Division I history. • Casey guided Oregon State to its sixth-ever trip to the College World Series, and fifth since 2005. • Oregon State set a Pac-12 record for the most wins ever in conference play, going 27-3. That surpassed the 1981 record previ- ously held by Arizona State at 26 wins. OSU won the conference by six games, the largest margin in more than 30 years. • Casey’s squad was ranked as the consensus No. 1 team in the nation for 10 consecutive weeks to end the regular season. Oregon State began the year ranked in the top 10 and rose to No. 1 by at least one publication for 12 straight rankings. OSU is the only team to ever be ranked for 10 straight weeks or more in the 58-year history of the Nell and John Wooden Collegiate Baseball rankings.

    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES THURSDAY, AUGUST 16, 2018 NOT SCARED OF THE BRIGHT LIGHTS In Atlanta's doubleheader against the Miami Marlins on Monday, Braves outfi elder Ronald Acuña Jr. became the fourth player in Major League history, and the fi rst National Leaguer, to club leadoff home runs in both games of a doubleheader, joining Hall of Famers Harry Hooper (1913) and Rickey Henderson (1993), as well as Brady Anderson (1999), according to the Elias Sports Bureau. In addition, the rookie phenom led off Tuesday's contest with another round-tripper, and joined Anderson as the only players in MLB history to lead off three consecutive games with a homer. Acuña became the youngest player in MLB history to homer in fi ve consecutive games, and matched the Braves franchise record with eight other sluggers, including Hall of Famers Chipper Jones (2004), Hank Aaron (1966) and Rogers Hornsby (1928). Moreover, the Venezuelan native posted an eight-game hitting streak from August 8th-14th, slashing .471/.514/1.235 with 13 runs scored, 16 hits, two doubles, eight home runs, 15 RBI and two stolen bases to lead Atlanta to a 6-2 record during the torrid stretch. According to Elias, Ronald (20 years, 239 days) became the youngest slugger since at least 1900 to club eight round-trippers in an eight-game span. Los Angeles Dodgers fi rst baseman/outfi elder Cody Bellinger was slightly older (21 years, 341 days) when he accomplished the feat during his Rookie of the Year campaign last season from June 11th-19th.
