Sports Stories Legends and Folklore

[Gil Dobie]

Would like to hear some sports stories about legends and folklore around the country. I'll start this thread off with Minor League baseball Fastball legend Steve Dalkowski, the following story from a friend of mine.

Dalkowski had been a 5-11 bespectacled left-handed pitcher who began his minor-league career in the Baltimore Orioles’ farm system in 1957, when he was 18 years old.
He was instantly hailed by all who saw him pitch as the fastest pro pitcher ever.
Unfortunately, he was not blessed with much control so finding the strike zone was a challenge he was never able to master. Part myth, folk hero and legend, he passed away April 19, 2020 at age 80.
Consider his 1960 numbers while pitching for the Class-A Stockton Ports of the California League: In 170 innings, he fanned 262 batters while walking the exact same number of batters, a difficult feat, to be sure.
Author Pat Jordan wrote in his 1973 book, “The Suitors of Spring,” about an incident in spring training when Steve faced Ted Williams in batting practice.
Jordan’s description of Dalkowski’s only pitch to “The Splendid Splinter” captured the moment:
“The ball does not rip through the air like most fastballs, but seems to just reappear silently in the catcher’s glove as if had somehow decomposed and recomposed itself without anyone having followed it progress.”
According to Jordan, Williams, known for his incredible eyesight, later claimed he never even saw the pitch, which was enough for Ted, who stepped out of the batting cage and didn’t return.
How fast was Dalkowski’s fastball, you might wonder?
Well, Cal Ripken Sr. told a reporter in 1980 that before radar became commonplace in baseball, Steve was clocked at 106.8 miles an hour at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland.
While hurling for 11 different teams from Class D to Triple-A during his nine minor league seasons, Dalkowski’s on-the-field exploits became the stuff of legend. So, too, were his drinking binges.

I heard this one when I was a kid, early in Gaylord Perry's career a reporter had asked him if he would ever hit a home run as a pro, Perry replied that they would put a man on the moon before he would hit a home. Well, apparently, shortly after Armstrong set foot on the moon, Perry hit his first home run in the majors. No idea if it is true or not but pretty funny.

Cool Papa Bell was so fast that one time he hit a line drive up the middle and the ball hit him in the left ear as he was sliding into second base

I heard the one where Cool Papa Bell was so fast, he could flip the light switch and be in bed before the room was dark.

Too bad he was called out for being a baserunner hit by a batted ball in fair territory.

Frank Robinson, Curt Flood and Vada Pinson played on the same high school baseball team. Robinson also played basketball and was a teammate of Bill Russell at the same high school.

Back in the 1940's and 50's, my hometown had a star pitcher that also liked to drink. The night before games, the local sheriff would put the star pitcher in jail to make sure he was sober for the game the following day.

I lived in Oakland Ca(1985-88) when I was in the Navy. While there I would bartend part time to make extra money. One day a guy comes in orders a drink. I serve it to him and tell him the price 3.00. He gives this weird look and says ---But Im Vida. I say--Vida who? He goes--Im Vida Blue. I say--well Vida Blue the drink is 3.00.
He begrudgingly pays me the money. Drinks his drink and leaves. Customers tell me hes a prick as is always pulling that **** hoping other customers will buy his drinks.

I’ve heard that Vida Blue was completely ambidextrous and as HS QB would roll right & throw with his right hand, then roll left and throw with his left. Apparently, he didn’t like to reach for his wallet with either.

Story from a friend.

I used to hit with Gary Gaetti and he used to tell me. When you see an inside piitch open up your hips and pull it over the fence. When you see a pitch down the middle get your hands out threre and pull it over the fence. When you see a pitch on the outside corner .... leave it alone because you can’t pull the damn thing over the fence.

50 years ago today, Wichita State Football lost 31 in a tragic plane crash. Their memory is honored every year by the university. I remember this very well. It was terrible. Absolutely shocking. There is a movie about the Marshall crash, but I've never seen one about this.

This happened less than two months before the more famous Marshall crash. Wichita State lost 14 players (all starters) and continued their season - Marshall lost most of the team and the program shut down for several years as a result of the crash.

RIP Bob Gibson. So many great stories about this great pitcher.

“(Hank Aaron told me) ‘Don’t dig in against Bob Gibson, he’ll knock you down. He’d knock down his own grandmother if she dared to challenge him. Don’t stare at him, don’t smile at him, don’t talk to him. He doesn’t like it. If you happen to hit a home run, don’t run too slow, don’t run too fast. If you happen to want to celebrate, get in the tunnel first. And if he hits you, don’t charge the mound, because he’s a Gold Glove boxer.’ I’m like, ‘Damn, what about my 17-game hitting streak?’ That was the night it ended.”
—Dusty Baker

“Billy Williams had broken his ankle, so the team was looking for a left-handed hitter. I had been hitting the ball pretty well, so they brought me up from Double-A. I was 19 years old. The game was in Chicago, and Bob Gibson was pitching for the Cardinals.

“It was 3-2, bottom of the ninth, and we had runners on second and third with two outs. Our pitcher was due up and Don Kessinger was the next hitter. He wasn’t a very good left-handed hitter — he was a better right-handed hitter — and Gibson had already struck him out a few times.

“I figured they were going to walk me. My run didn’t mean anything and putting me on meant they could get an out an any base. They had a meeting on the mound and somebody said, ‘Does anybody know this guy?’ Gibson said, ‘If they’re bringing in a rookie, I’m pitching to him.’ Ted Simmons was the catcher, and he told me this. When he comes back behind the plate, he goes, ‘They’re going to pitch to you, kid.’ I said, ‘Great.’

“First pitch, base hit, game over. I’m out there giving high fives.

“About three weeks later we go to St. Louis. I’m hitting third and Gibson is pitching again. I’m looking for my bats and all they’re gone. I was panicking. Billy Williams is sitting there with a cast on his ankle and he’s got them. He goes, ‘Pete, there are two outs and nobody on. You’ll make baseball history. Go to the plate without a bat and just stand there.’ I said, ‘You’re crazy, man. Just give me the bat.’ He said, ‘Gibson is going to hit you.’ I said, ‘No he‘s not. He forgot about it.’

“First pitch, Wham! He nailed me.

“Next time up, I’m thinking he figures I’m going to be scared, but I’m not. I’m just looking for a pitch to hit. Well, he gets me about two inches below where he hit me the first time. - Pete LaCock

I hope whoever is at the pearly gates doesn't piss him off because they might get some chin music coming their way. RIP to probably the nastiest pitcher to ever play the game. Virtually unhitable when he was on his game.

Gibson's dominance was a primary driver in lowering the mound. He STILL dominated hitters.

Outlined against a blue-gray October sky, the Four Horsemen rode again. In dramatic lore they are known as Famine, Pestilence, Destruction and Death. These are only aliases. Their real names are Stuhldreher, Miller, Crowley and Layden. They formed the crest of the South Bend cyclone before which another fighting Army football team was swept over the precipice at the Polo Grounds yesterday afternoon as 55,000 spectators peered down on the bewildering panorama spread on the green plain below.” - Grantland Rice

In 1976, George Halas was asked by a reporter how he thought Red Grange would do in "today's" NFL. Halas answered that he though Grange would get around 700 yards in a season. The reporter was shocked to hear the difference between the runners in the 70's and the runners in Grange's era when Halas responded with "You have to remember that Grange is now 73 years old."

Worst beating in Penn State history came at the hands of Lehigh in 1889, by a score of 106-0. Further, Penn State withdrew from the field at the end of the third quarter! I believe touchdowns were also worth 4 points back then...

[ngineer]

In the second Lehigh-Lafayette game of 1892 (they played twice a year until 1901, and thrice in 1891), Goodwin Ordway made a 110 yard TD run on a fumble recovery. Back then, the field was 120 yards long, and he had picked up a fumble from a fellow player and took it to the house for a record that will likely never be broken.

[ngineer]

In 1904, Lehigh and Lafayette played the entire game without one penalty being called. Hard to believe considering the intensity of The Rivalry, even at that early stage. No other Lehigh game has been found where neither team suffered a penalty.

[ngineer]

In 1947, Lafayette beat Lehigh in the waning minutes on a TD pass to Sinbad (the) Saylor!

Before Brady won six rings, he was chosen in the 18th round of the 1995 draft by the Montreal Expos. "He was a left-handed-hitting catcher with power. He had a good future," the Expos' then-director of college scouting, Ed Creech, told the Montreal Gazette in 2002. In 2004, Pat Mahomes pitched for the Montreal Expos farm team, the Edmonton Trappers.

Didn't want to start a new thread.

Nicollet girls softball just won the Minnesota Class A title 3-2 over Moose Lake in 8 innings. I taught/coached a number of their parents or siblings.

Football had three runner up teams in the Prep Bowl, girls were runner up in basketball in 2011. Nice to get the top spot.

On Memorial Day I talked to one of the gals who was on the mile relay team in 1976-77-78 when Buffalo Lake won the state track meet twice with a runner up in between. I told her that I'd help pay for a sign in the park by Highway 212 that got taken away after a big storm. She said that was ancient history and that no one would care anymore. I told her that I did- it was the biggest thing that ever happened in town. The day after the second title we had our summer church service in that park. After the girls quartet sang, the minister noted that those were the same girls that made up the relay team- all from the same church. She had forgotten that until I reminded her.

It doesn't get any closer than this. Remember in soccer it has to be all the way over.

Possibly $2 worth of sports cards stolen. Apparently the group in the video had been casing him out all day. Three people distracted them while a 4th person grabbed the case with the valuable cards. Ash is a nice guy, and his sons work for him. He is well known around the country for is awesome card inventory.
