Early Buffs TV Ad Harbors Memories

September 13, 2018

Buffalo Stadium 1953, Houston, Texas; KPRC-TV, CHANNEL 2
Had Been Covering Houston Buffs Baseball Since Their 1st Year on the Air in 1949 as KLEE-TV.

Thank you, Larry Hajduk, for sending me several photographic reminders the other day of that early precious time in my Houston Baseball Memory Book. Channel Two was the first and only TV station in Houston from 1949 forward, but they were soon joined by KGUL-TV (11) in Galveston and KTRK-TV (13) in the 1950s. Channel 11, of course, eventually moved to Houston and reorganized itself as KHOU-TV.

Unfortunately, one of those memories was quite shocking and forever sad.

Here’s a link to a brief column I wrote nine years ago on early televised Houston baseball and the time a man actually committed suicide by a self-inflicted fatal gunshot wound to the head, almost completely on camera, back on June 11, 1950. My dad and I were there that night, sitting only about twelve rows back from where this desperate act took place. We saw none of it, but we heard all of it. The sound and startle reflex we all had from the shot still rings home the whole upsetting memory for me. And yes. I used the same photo then that I’m using today. The picture of the camera man is pretty accurate to where he was situated that same night in reality, right next to the small table they set up with a mike for solo broadcaster Dick Gottlieb.

When the man standing next to the camera man shot himself in the head, the camera guy is said to have reflexively wheeled around and caught him in time for viewers at home to see some of the man’s body slumping to the ground. What a sad night it was.

Here’s the other article link: Suicide at Buff Stadium

Finally, what are the “Then and Now Bottom Line Differences Between Watching Baseball on TV at Home or at the Ballpark in 1950 and 2018?”

In 1950, watching baseball at home on TV made you want to go to the ballpark where you could much better see what’s happening. ~ In 2018, watching baseball at the ballpark makes you want to go home and watch baseball on HD, multi-camera angle perspective TV where you can much better see what’s happening.

Bill Gilbert Obituary and Funeral Plan

September 13, 2018

Bill Gilbert

William “Bill” C. Gilbert Obituary

William C Gilbert, age 82, passed away September 6, 2018 at his home in Austin, surrounded by his loving family. He was born in Denver, Colorado in 1935 to John and Freda Gilbert. During World War ll the family relocated to California and Florida while his father served as an engineering officer in the navy. After the war, the family settled in Denver where Bill finished from South High in 1953. He then attended the University of Colorado and graduated with honors in Chemical Engineering in 1957. He served as an officer in the United States Navy in Japan from 1957-1959. After his service, he joined ExxonMobil in Baton Rouge, LA, where Bill met Evelyn Campbell of Ville Platte, LA, a graduate student at LSU, who became his wife of 57 years.

Bill retired in 1992 after a 35-year career with ExxonMobil in engineering and managerial positions in both Refining and Marketing. Most of these assignments were in Houston and Baytown, Texas, where he eventually settled to raise a family. After retirement, he worked for Tal Smith Enterprises on the baseball salary arbitration team, representing numerous MLB teams, while also writing articles on baseball for various publications. Left to honor Bill are his wife and their four children: John, Paul, Susan and Patrick and 9 grandchildren (Allie, Caleb, Evan, Grace, Zoe, Leah, Kara, Will, and Casey).

Before all else, Bill was a devoted husband and father. His lifelong passion was baseball. He was instrumental in the formation of the Society of American Baseball Researchers (SABR) chapters in Austin and Houston, where he made many lifelong friends. Bill felt a strong obligation to give back to the community in the many service and church volunteer organizations in which he was involved. He was a member of Emmaus Catholic Church in Lakeway, Texas, where he was a lector and choir member for many years. Bill also served in numerous capacities for many other organizations, including: President of the United Way of Baytown, a member of the Baytown Municipal Development Board and the Baytown Parks and Recreation Board, a Paul Harris Fellow in Rotary International, Little League Baseball as a coach and League Director for 15 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters Advisory Council, President of the Baytown Area Senior Softball Assoc., Tutor for Partners in Education and the GAP Program After School, Project Coordinator for the Executive Service Corps of Houston, YMCA Basketball coach, and Loaned Executive for the United Way of Texas Gulf Coast.

Bill will be dearly missed by all who had the good fortune to know him. To quote an old SABR baseball friend, “Bill’s passing leaves a hole in the lineup that will never be filled.”

The funeral Mass will be held at Emmaus Catholic Church in Lakeway, Texas on September 21, 2018 at 12:00 PM, followed by a reception in the church Great Hall. A Memorial Service will be held at 4:15 PM at Longhorn Village in Steiner Ranch, Austin where Bill and Evelyn reside.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the American Heart Association.

A 2018 Memoriam: “9.11.01”

September 11, 2018

May we never forget what allows us the freedom to fall in love, follow the passions of our talents, or simply pursue our day-to-day interests in the great game of baseball for most or all of the year. The thousands of our brothers, sisters, parents, children, relatives, friends, and strangers who died in that grotesquely violent assault upon their own rights to enjoy those same freedoms back on September 11, 2001 should never be forgotten as a result.

The day those innocent victims of 911 ever are forgotten ~ is the day that all is lost for the rest of us.

God Bless America! ~ Remember 911!

Real Evil Eye Robs Astros

September 10, 2018

STOP! THE REAL EVIL EYE OF MLB SEES WHAT YOU HOUSTON ASTROS ARE TRYING TO DO!

 

It was clear as day from several angle shots on the play at the plate in the top of the seventh. Allowed to be as it should have been called in the first place, Jose Altuve scores and the Astros take a 6-5 momentum lead and continue batting. ~ But no! ~ The MLB in NYC review group concludes that Altuve was out, even though he is never touched by either the ball ~ or the catcher’s glove that holds the ball ~ prior to sliding his left hand across home plate for what the MLB faceless group decides shall be the third out in the inning.

Aha! ~ We see! ~ In spite of all our pre-game print fun with “el ojo malo” that the real “evil eye” lives within the eye sockets of the MLB game call review group ~ and they are going to flat-out trust their own perceptions over anything their “lying eyes” are trying to tell them. We’ve never seem Astros manager A.J. Hinch as upset as he seemed to be after the ten-minute review conference concluded to believe against the visually obvious.

“He did get in there,” manager AJ Hinch said. “It’s clear as day. I’m tired of these questions because replay is set up for precisely that type of play. We feel like we have clear evidence. There is a gap between the tag, his hands on the plate. Continually it gets harder and harder and harder to get a call overturned if they can just simply say it stands. It sounds like sour grapes after a loss, but it’s a tough loss for us.”

“In situations like that, where clearly he hadn’t put the tag on when his hand was on the plate, you would like an explanation,” Astros starter Dallas Kuechel added.

The male ESPN media guy that worked the game with Alex Rodriquez and the the female announcer speculated that the MLB group may have made a case for the catcher’s glove missing the tag in time, but the that the mitt possibly may have had some loose leather strings that came down and brushed Altuve’s arm before he touched the plate.

Whoa!!!!

I guess that means an out tag works something like an electrocution. If you can get the shock of an out contact from a loose glove string, as you might from an electric current, they judges may have been forced to conclude that Altuve was out as the similar-to-electricity-current result.

Pretty shocking!!!

Maybe we need to buy up some of the pictorially featured items below and start selling them to catchers and all infielders who have frequent chances at tag play outs.

 

For outs to be called on close plays, make sure that the featured glove appendage is in falling-strand contact with sliding runner’s body.

Bill Gilbert

In Memoriam …

William C. “Bill” Gilbert, 82, of Austin, Texas, died on Wednesday, September 5, 2018, after a long illness. Bill joined SABR in 1984 and was instrumental in the formation of the Larry Dierker Chapter in Houston and the Rogers Hornsby Chapter in Austin. He helped organize the 2014 SABR convention in Houston and was a prolific researcher who contributed to the Baseball Research Journal and The National Pastime, and was a presenter at many SABR local meetings and national conventions. He also worked closely with Tal Smith Enterprises for nearly two decades, helping the former Houston Astros president on salary arbitration cases. Bill was born November 15, 1935, and grew up in Denver as a fan of the minor-league Denver Bears. He graduated from the University of Colorado with a degree in chemical engineering and spent two years as an officer in the US Navy before embarking on a three-decade career with ExxonMobil. He was active in Little League Baseball as a coach and administrator and played senior-league softball in retirement. He is survived by his wife Evelyn, four children, and their grandchildren. Services are pending.

One is the Loneliest Number

September 5, 2018

One is the Loneliest Number

 

One is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do
Two can be as bad as one
It’s the loneliest number since the number one

 

But you have to get to two

To see how that really flies with you

 

And for now at least ~ we’re still chasing the beast

Of a consecutive second win of the Baseball World Series

 

If we get there ~ then we can ask ourselves

Do we really feel lonelier now?

Or do all these shooting star visions we’re having

Really say ~ I’m feeling pretty damn good!

 

We’re not there yet ~ but a 3.5 game lead over Oakland

Still feels a whole lot better than the 2.5 game lead we had yesterday

 

It’s only a one game difference over 24 hours ~ but

It fails to invite loneliness among Astros fans

As long as it keeps moving the ones

In the direction they just took overnight!

Greg Lucas: A Worthy W/L Assignment Option

September 4, 2018

Greg Lucas

On the heels of our TPPE W/L column this weekend, Greg Lucas e-mailed me a suggestion of great worthiness to future consideration of any rule changes to the W/L assignment to pitchers in light of all the changes in the game that have made these decisions by the rules in place now even ludicrous.

As one of the really good and tempered minds that rest upon the shoulders of our media today, Greg Lucas is someone who deserves a far greater audience than my ears. Greg has broadcast more big league games in his lifetime than most of us cumulatively have seen since the Astros moved downtown in 2000.

With fairness to the private essence of this communication, here’s the justification and one possible way for baseball to reach in a rule change for greater equity in the matter:

The Need. Lucas recognizes that the way pitchers are used today “makes the Won-Loss record hard to value.  There are just not enough complete games for starters, and, in using pitch counts to get them out of games, starters don’t get enough innings work to really WIN a game.”

Possible Improvement Change. Allow “any starter who leaves a game after seven innings trailing by no more than two runs to still be eligible for the win, if his team ultimately does. Of course, if they don’t win, he still gets the loss ~ unless he is ‘taken off the hook’ in the current manner ~ and the team loses anyway.”

The Benefit. “This change would allow starters who perform exceptionally well, but who are removed late, to still have a shot at winning, even if they are behind by a run or two after having pitched seven innings. As you can see, this doesn’t solve everything because getting through seven innings is tough these days, but it does give a starter a better shot at a winning decision after he has done most of the work. It also gives the pitcher who did the bulk of the work the actual win credit.”

Thanks, Greg Lucas, for something good to think about in our changing baseball world.  In today’s game, the greatest pitcher in the world can take a pitch count removal from a shutout after the 7th and still fail to get credit for the win because his club only got one run later in the bottom of the 9th ~ and by today’s rules ~ giving the win to the reliever who pitched the last out in the top of the 9th.

Not right. If the W/L is supposed to mean anything, fairness cries out for change.

Verlander Rowboat Mime Behind Hinch Is Hoot

September 3, 2018

Astros chief A.J. Hinch attempts to seriously answer ESPN media questions during the Sunday TV Angels game as pitcher Justin Verlander suddenly, but slowly, mimes a casual rowboat crossing through the perceived sludge that seems to be building to the rear of the Houston manager.

Manager Hinch took it well. Once Verlander had made his entire well-acted slow move across the screen, Hinch gave him a quick double-take stare of recognition and a slow-building smile of approval in immediate follow up. It probably helped that all of this was taking place as the Astros were batting and regaining control of the game, but Hinch is just good with his players, anyway.

Look for this one YouTube soon. It wasn’t there yet at our publication time, but it was replayed almost immediately at game’s end, if you still have the TV game recording on your machine.

Have a nice Labor Day, everybody!
