Sam McDowellTommy John & Sam McDowell
Saturday, Sept 25th

Sam played his first 11 seasons for the Cleveland Indians before a 1971 trade to the San Francisco Giants and subsequent stints with the New York Yankees and Pittsburgh Pirates. Tall (6 feet, 5 inches) and powerful, his left-handed fastball was delivered with an unusually calm pitching motion which led to his memorable nickname: "Sudden Sam." His strikeout prowess was sometimes nullified by periodic control problems.

Sam McDowell Career Highlights

  • 6× All-Star selection (1965, 1966, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971)
  • 1970 AL TSN Pitcher of the Year

Lou Brock, HOF85 and Wally Moon
Saturday, Oct 16th 11am - 1pm.

Lou BrockBrock remains best known for base-stealing and starting Cardinals rallies. He was said to have disdained Maury Wills' method of base-stealing, instead shortening his leads and going hard.

Brock held the record for career stolen bases (938) until it was broken by Rickey Henderson. In 1974 he stole a major-league record 118 bases (breaking Maury Wills' record of 104 in 1962; Brock's single-season record was also later broken by Henderson). Brock led the National League in stolen bases eight times between 1966 and 1974 (former teammate Bobby Tolan led the league in steals in 1970).

Overall, Brock batted .293 in 19 seasons, amassing a total of 3023 hits.

Wally Moon

Wally MoonMoon played his 12-year career in the National League for the St. Louis Cardinals (1954-1958) and Los Angeles Dodgers (1959-1965).

In the spring of 1954 the Cardinals told Moon to report to their minor league spring training camp. He ignored the order and reported instead to St. Petersburg with the Cardinals. He said that he would make the team or quit baseball. They let him stay, and by the end of the spring training he replaced Enos Slaughter in the outfield.

Moon made his majors debut on April 13, 1954. To make room for him in the roster, St. Louis sent the veteran Enos Slaughter to the Yankees. Moon responded for good. In his first at-bat, despite chants of "We want Slaughter", he belted a home run against the Cubs

Scott Norwood, Nov 6th

Scott NorwoodNorwood quickly became an invaluable asset to an offense that was going places as the Bills' general manager, Bill Polian, assembled talent like Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas, and Bruce Smith. Within two seasons of Norwood's arrival the Bills had won the AFC East for the first time since 1980 and made it to the conference championship game. He soon overtook O.J. Simpson as the team's all-time leading scorer. In 1990 the Bills advanced to their first-ever Super Bowl.

Super Bowl XXV would cement Norwood's name in football history when he missed a 47-yard field goal attempt at the end of the game, giving the New York Giants the victory. ABC sportscaster Al Michaels had the call: "No good! Wide right!" as the Giants poured Gatorade over head coach Bill Parcells' head.

Ticket Info coming soon.

Paul HornungPaul Vernon Hornung (born December 23, 1935 in Louisville, Kentucky) is a former professional football player, playing for the Green Bay Packers from 1957-66. Hornung,one of the most versatile players ever to play the game, was Halfback, Quarterback,and Place Kicker. Hornung is one of the greatest all-purpose backs to ever play the game. Not only could Hornung run, he was a excellent passer, receiver, and blocker. Hornung was an excellent all-around athlete who played college basketball, but is best known for his prowess as a football player.

Hornung, nicknamed the "Golden Boy," won the Heisman Trophy in 1956 as the year's outstanding College football player in the United States and is the only player from a losing team (his University of Notre Dame team finished 2-8 that year) ever to win the trophy. Highly versatile, he was a quarterback who could run, pass, block, and tackle. Many consider Hornung as the greatest all-around football player in Notre Dame history.

Ron Kramer

Ron KramerIn the tradition of Michigan athletes, Ron Kramer is considered to be ranked among the best. A three-sport athlete (football, basketball and track), Kramer led both the football and basketball teams in scoring for two years. Altogether, Kramer won a total of nine varsity letters in his three sports—the maximum number possible, as freshmen did not have athletic eligibility at the time.

Kramer's credits include two consensus football All-American selections (1955–56), the retirement of his jersey number (87) by the Wolverines following his senior season (one of only five numbers in school history to be retired), and the selection as the basketball team's most valuable player in each of his three seasons. As basketball team captain, he was third-team All-Big Ten in 1957 after being second-team All-Big Ten in both 1955 and 1956.[1] During his junior year, he averaged 20.4 points per game over a 22 game season and is a member of the career 1000-point club.[2]

In the NFL, Kramer played 10 seasons (1957, 1959–1967) — the first seven with the Green Bay Packers and three with the Detroit Lions.

  • Unanimous First-Team All-American (1956)
  • AP 1st Team All-Pro selection (1962)
  • AP 2nd Team All-Pro selection (1963)
  • Packers Hall of Fame
  • College Hall of Fame
