| September 1, 2009 CAN HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF IN DOUGLAS? DOUGLAS, ARIZONA - For some people what happened here 51 years ago has never been heard of. For others, the memory is like that of a fairy tale. In 1958, The Douglas Copper Kings accomplished what no other team in Major League or Minor League baseball ever has. All nine starters hit homeruns. Yes, you read that correctly. All nine starters for the Copper Kings sent the horsehide deep over the fence at a game in Chihuahua, Mexico. No team has ever gotten close to having all nine starters hit home runs. Read More... |

November 1, 2009 "BARNSTORMING" WHEN? PERHAPS in 2010 If all planning goes well, a group of partners will bring “barnstorming” baseball to communities along and near historic U.S. Route 66 next year. “Hey, baseball? That’s great,” I hear you exclaim. “But what’s with this ‘barnstorming’ business?” Well, folks, barnstorming in baseball dates back more than a century, to the early 1900s. To “barnstorm” in baseball involves a traveling team playing exhibition games in small towns and cities. Historically, those were communities that either did not have their own baseball teams or perhaps had only a local youth team or town team. Those traveling teams – usually professional or semipro, and usually not affiliated with any organized league – would travel around playing local teams of one sort or another. Frequently, they would rent local baseball fields, sell tickets and, in effect, bring a certain level of baseball to the boonies, the burgs and the boomtowns across the nation. Read More... |
