Book Synopsis Runs, Hits, and an Era by : Paul J. Zingg
Download or read book Runs, Hits, and an Era written by Paul J. Zingg and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A favorite was Lou "The Mad Russian" Novikoff, who won the Triple Crown in 1940 (batting .343, with 171 RBIs and 41 homers) while playing for the league runner-up Los Angeles Angels - thanks in no small part to his wife, Esther, who could be heard from her box seat behind home plate verbally abusing Lou during each of his appearances at the plate. Another was Hollywood Stars player-manager Bobby Bragan, who was tossed from a game in 1953 against the rival San Diego club after slamming his chest protector to the ground to protest what he considered some bad calls by the umpire. Ordered to pick up his equipment, Bragan refused and instead proceeded to remove his shin guards, mask, glove, and cap. Banished to the dugout, he added his uniform top, shoes, socks, and a few towels to the pile. Bragan and the Stars survived the ensuing fine and suspension to win the pennant handily.
Book Synopsis The Greatest Minor League by : Dennis Snelling
Download or read book The Greatest Minor League written by Dennis Snelling and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2011-10-14 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1903, a small league in California defied Organized Baseball by adding teams in Portland and Seattle to become the strongest minor league of the twentieth century. Calling itself the Pacific Coast League, this outlaw association frequently outdrew its major league counterparts and continued to challenge the authority of Organized Baseball until the majors expanded into California in 1958. The Pacific Coast League introduced the world to Joe, Vince and Dom DiMaggio, Paul and Lloyd Waner, Ted Williams, Tony Lazzeri, Lefty O'Doul, Mickey Cochrane, Bobby Doerr, and many other baseball stars, all of whom originally signed with PCL teams. This thorough history of the Pacific Coast League chronicles its foremost personalities, governance, and contentious relationship with the majors, proving that the history of the game involves far more than the happenings in the American and National leagues.

Book Synopsis The Los Angeles Angels of the Pacific Coast League by : Richard Beverage
Download or read book The Los Angeles Angels of the Pacific Coast League written by Richard Beverage and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2011-10-10 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long before the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants brought the major leagues to California in 1958, professional baseball thrived on the West Coast in the form of the Pacific Coast League (PCL). Minor only in name, the league featured intense rivalries, a huge fan base, and such future Hall of Famers as Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams. The Los Angeles Angels won 14 PCL pennants and stood as the league's premier franchise. This year-by-year chronicle of the Los Angeles Angels from 1903 to 1957 includes an overview of the PCL and a wealth of statistical information, including an all-time player roster, a list of important team records, lineups, and attendance information. Based in part on personal interviews with former Angels players, this history offers a nostalgic look back at the PCL and the early days of baseball in the West.

Book Synopsis The Integration of the Pacific Coast League by : Amy Essington
Download or read book The Integration of the Pacific Coast League written by Amy Essington and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2018-06 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While Jackie Robinson’s 1947 season with the Brooklyn Dodgers made him the first African American to play in the Major Leagues in the modern era, the rest of Major League Baseball was slow to integrate while its Minor League affiliates moved faster. The Pacific Coast League (PCL), a Minor League with its own social customs, practices, and racial history, and the only legitimate sports league on the West Coast, became one of the first leagues in any sport to completely desegregate all its teams. Although far from a model of racial equality, the Pacific Coast states created a racial reality that was more diverse and adaptable than in other parts of the country. The Integration of the Pacific Coast League describes the evolution of the PCL beginning with the league’s differing treatment of African Americans and other nonwhite players. Between the 1900s and the 1930s, team owners knowingly signed Hawaiian players, Asian players, and African American players who claimed that they were Native Americans, who were not officially banned. In the post–World War II era, with the pressures and challenges facing desegregation, the league gradually accepted African American players. In the 1940s individual players and the local press challenged the segregation of the league. Because these Minor League teams integrated so much earlier than the Major Leagues or the eastern Minor Leagues, West Coast baseball fans were the first to experience a more diverse baseball game.

Book Synopsis The 1957 San Francisco Seals by : P.J. Dragseth
Download or read book The 1957 San Francisco Seals written by P.J. Dragseth and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2013-05-11 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1957 PCL season faced uncertainty about the impending "invasion of major league baseball" in 1958. While the meetings, wheeling and dealing and politics took place off the diamond, the historic San Francisco Seals, a charter member of the Golden Era of the league, 1903-1957, played baseball and clinched the pennant two days before the season ended. We follow this team one game at a time as players faced historic rivals from spring training through the final game of the era. Readers experience minor league baseball as it was more than fifty years ago when there were no agents, next year's contract was based on this year's performance, and PCL teams consisted of a blend of major league veterans and minor leaguers on the cusp. The Pacific Coast League was no ordinary league, the Seals were no ordinary team, and 1957 was no ordinary season.

Book Synopsis The Hollywood Stars by : Richard Beverage
Download or read book The Hollywood Stars written by Richard Beverage and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2005-11-02 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hollywood Stars were created in 1926, when the Salt Lake City franchise of the Pacific Coast League was transferred to the greater Los Angeles area. To avoid confusion with the resident Los Angeles Angels, the new ballclub was called Hollywood. It was a wise choice of names. The movie capital had a glamour that was soon attached to the Stars and created an interest wherever they played. But the Hollywood story is actually one of two separate entities. The first operated from 1926 to 1935 and played at Wrigley Field as a tenant of the Angels. When a dispute arose in 1935 over a proposed increase in rent, owner Bill Lane moved his team to San Diego. After a hiatus of two years, the second incarnation was created in 1938 when the Mission Reds of San Francisco moved to Southern California. They moved into their new park, Gilmore Field, in 1939 and remained there through 1957, when the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles. Hollywood won pennants in 1949, 1952, and 1953 and was the team of choice for the movie world.

Book Synopsis The Pacific Coast League by : Ken Stadler

Book excerpt: THE GREAT YEARS OF THE PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE Without a doubt the Pacific Coast League was the most important sports activity on the West Coast. From its inception in 1903 to its glorious climax it mirrored all the excitement and glory and thrills that is baseball. But all this was especially true during the '40s and '50s - years rich in the fame and victory of being the leading minor league in the nation. Come, now, and recall these great times. Re-live the soaring days of baseball, and share One Man's Memories of this exciting time, the years 1938 to 1957, the GREAT YEARS OF THE PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE. There have been baseball fans, and there have been baseball fanatics. But Mr. Stadler's richly drawn memories and extensive added research have put him in a class of his own. Of the many hundreds of books on the sport that have come down the pike, this one takes a uniquely "different" approach. Not an expert addressing the fan as an "authority," Mr. Stadler instead tells his story as a fan speaking to the player. Never has there been a book that gives the baseball pro a perspective of his own game through the eyes of the fan. Never... until now. As a result, here is a book that gives an added insight to how the folks in the stands really saw the game. A book that re-lives the soaring days of MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL. It was a special time, a game played under special conditions. A time that saw baseball's greatest players, past, present and future. Players who set records that may never be topped. The career players who spent their entire lives in the league. The big-league stars who closed their playing years in the minors, and the youngsters on their way up, giving their all to make a name and impression for themselves. But this is a book of more than just the facts and statistics. These are the people, the stories, the flavor and most important the ATMOSPHERE OF EXCITEMENT that was the heart of the Pacific Coast League. Some of it may be trivia, but it is never trivial. These are the stories that are the very soul of baseball, told from the perspective of a man who considers it a priviledge to have lived in PCL territory - a league that could not be topped, during a time when it came to the very brink of major league status. The author recounts incidents he witnessed at the stadiums and playing fields, events he lived via radio, the friendships he made. As much as re-living the past for baseball afficionados, his stories will warm the spirits of readers who come to know Ken himself, and to share his love of the totality of this great sport. If baseball is your game ... if memorabilia-in-words is your coin ... if humor and trivia and a folksy manner is to your taste... then you'll adore Ken's work on the Hollywood Stars and the heydays of the PCL before the majors came out West. One Man's Memories will awaken your own long-forgotten recollections of the days of hand-kept scoreboards and gloves tossed on the edge of the outfield grass. If you care at all about the highlight days of the Pacific Coast League, about the fans, the players, the anecdotes... and most of all the excitement and soaring times of the game of baseball, then this is a book you simply must read. It's all here, a magnificent, one-of-a-kind compilation that brings across the richness of the times, the games, the players.. .remembering... The Pacific Coast League - One Man's Memories - 1938-1957 "Order a copy today. Or better yet, order two and give one to your best friend. And then share ONE MAN'S MEMORIES of these exciting days!"
Download or read book Hal Chase written by Martin Donell Kohout and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2017-07-06 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hal Chase is considered by many to be one of the best first basemen ever to play the game of baseball. He was able to make the routine look spectacular, the spectacular look routine. But Chase will never have his plaque in Cooperstown because he has gone down in history as the biggest crook in baseball. Chase was repeatedly accused of throwing games, bribing players, betting against his own team, and various other crimes, yet with his relaxed nature he always managed to get off the hook for his misdeeds by working his charm. His major league career lasted from 1905 to 1919, and by the mid-1930s he was a destitute alcoholic living off friends. The last fifteen years of Chase's life saw him hospitalized repeatedly for a variety of ailments, living off a sister and brother-in-law who loathed him. This work traces the turbulent life and times of Hal Chase from his humble beginnings to his sad end.
