GATORS SNATCH 2-GAME LEAD IN SISL
It was not a thing of beauty... the first place Guedon Gators took an ugly win over the runner-up Meraux Tigers in the South Island Second League yesterday... they were battling for the top spot... the Gators mauled the Tigers 14-5 and upped their lead to two games... in the other two games St. Dominic smashed Chitamaca 17-3 and Bayou Bleu took Delacroix 3-1 in a low-scoring affair... three teams, St. Dominic, Chitamaca and Delacroix are deadlocked for third place, three games behind Guedon... Bayou Bleu is dead last, four games off the pace.

MY LIFE IN 1952
EC's Just Havin' Fun in '52, Too!

Still living with my Aunt Ruth and Uncle Russell in Sheffield, Alabama... going to Blake Elementary School... at recess we play softball... I'm pretty good... we don't play with gloves... just barehanded... EC is a darn good shortstop... surehanded with a strong, accurate arm... but not much of a hitter... remember I was called "Four Eyes" in my first day at school at Blake... I have worn glasses since age 2... I had a "lazy eye"... it was bad because I did not use it... my brain just used my good right eye... because of this condition, I see double and have all of my life... this makes it hard to hit a baseball... I have no depth perception... my eyes do not focus on the same spot... the doctor told me to wear a patch over my right eye to force me to use my weak left eye... if I had done this, overtime my vision would improve and I would have had depth perception... however, EC didn't want to do this... so it was never fixed... I still was a pretty good athlete in baseball, softball, basketball and football... but I never was much of a hitter... but I was a pretty good shooter in basketball... often have regretted not wearing that patch... I'm sure my hitting would have been much improved and even my shot in basketball.

Saturday are special in Sheffield... my cousin George and I go to the Colbert Theatre downtown on Montgomery Avenue... for the grand sum of 25 cents each (movie, popcorn, candy, soda pop) we get to see 5 cartoons... yes, I said 5 cartoons... we were in cartoon heaven every Saturday... there would be a full-length shoot 'em up or war movie as well as a 30-minute serial that always featured a cliffhanger where the hero's life was seriously threatened some way that was impossible to escape from... serials were 12 to 15 weekly chapters... all of the kids loved them... we live and died with the hero each week... thank goodness, we never lost a hero... he would always ride the range again the next Saturday and eventually ride off into the sunset with the girl at the end of the serial... Gene Autry, the famous singing cowboy, got his start in a serial "The Phantom Empire".

(Special Thanks to Wikipedia)
The Phantom Empire is a 1935 American Western serial film directed by Otto Brower and B. Reeves Eason and starring Gene Autry, Frankie Darro, and Betsy King Ross. This 12-chapter Mascot Pictures serial combined the western, musical, and science fiction genres. The first episode is 30 minutes, the rest about 20 minutes. The serial film is about a singing cowboy who stumbles upon an ancient subterranean civilization living beneath his own ranch that becomes corrupted by unscrupulous greedy speculators from the surface. In 1940, a 70-minute feature film edited from the serial was released under the titles Radio Ranch or Men with Steel Faces. This was Gene Autry's first starring role, playing himself as a singing cowboy.

Take a good gander at the Steel Man in the poster... really scary, right?... well, it was when you were 12 years old.
Is Gene Autry using a ray gun?... wow, you know that was much better than a six shooter... but, on second thought, you never ran out of ammunition using a six shooter, did you?

Here is an update on my beloved Southern Association... I lived and died with the Mobile Bears and the New Orleans Pelicans... can you believe it?... The Bears are in first place and the Pels are off to a great start, too... the only future major leaguers playing on the teams were Don Zimmer leading off and playing a crackerjack shortstop for the Bears... and Frank Thomas playing center field and batting third for the Pels… Dale Long is playing first base and batting cleanup... Mobile was a farm club for the Brooklyn Dodgers and New Orleans was a farm team for the Pittsburgh Pirates.

All stats and standings taken from the New Orleans Times-Picayune published Monday, May 11, 1952

And just so you are a well-rounded and well-educated person with a diversity of interest... and not just a nerd that only plays OOTPB... here is the news of the day taken from the New Orleans Times-Picayune newspaper... I think this is the Sunday edition of May 11, 1952.

My, Oh, My!... wasn't politics much simpler in the good old days of the 1950s... check out the 1952 presidential campaign stories.
This is taken from the Sunday edition of the New Orleans Times-Picayune on May 11, 1952.

Thank goodness we now have the 24-hour daily news cycle and can really stay overly informed... and thank goodness for Facebook, Twitter and whatever else is out there overloading people and society with information and a lot of misinformation, too...

No, EC had never been on Facebook... don't text... and don't twit, either... sorry, I think you tweet on Twitter, don't you?.

Sorry, this tech world is grossly over reporting and overly discussing and overly analyzing everything... including sports... I recently starting recording MLB shows so I could skip the endless repetition of the same commercials and network promos that are run ad nauseum... ESPN and the rest of the sports networks do the same thing... I never watch ESPN anymore.

I watched Hot Stove, High Heat, MLB Now and MLB Tonight for the last few weeks... sorry, can't stand Intentional Talk with Chris Rose and Kevin Millar... they are too gimmicky and try to be too funny... Hot Stove is kind of silly, too, at times... I like a pretty girl as much as the next guy, but they don't need the giggly girl on it... she really is a looker... and sweet... but she adds nothing to the show's content.

I think I will just watch MLB Now and let the others go... if I do them all, they just rehash what the previous shows covered... this will save me more time for my dynasty reports.

JOLIET, JACKSON TOP 2 TEAMS IN NIRL FIRST
The Joliet Green Giants and the Jackson Jackalopes are still running 1-2 in the North Island Recreational League First Division... both claimed victories this Sunday... Joliet has a two-game margin over Jackson... the other four clubs are in a four-way logjam for last place, 4 games behind first place Joliet.

In action this past weekend Joliet took care of the Dutton Coyotes 6-1... Jackson dumped the New Yerby Yankees 8-2 and the Kofa Kings trimmed the Avalon Oldtimers 2-1.

4-WAY DOGFIGHT IN NIRL 2ND
You might say the North Island Recreational League Second Division is going to the dogs... It don't get any better than a 4-team dogfight in baseball... and that's exactly what's going on... the top dog is the Stockdale Mustangs with an 8-4 mark, but there are three other frisky clubs hounding them, just one game out of first place... Union Heights, Wafford and Theodore are now 7-5 and barking at their heels.

And it was the Union Heights Hackers that helped make it happen with a 9-4 drubbing of the first place Mustangs this weekend... Wafford kept pace by walloping Kinston 9-2 and Theodore stayed in the running by slamming West Chester 9-5.
