Comment on Pascagoula and the Golden Age of Sports by Jonathan

TB, This is not what I had in mind. I just wanted to hycihtetopally dicuss an all-time baseball team from Goula, the same way we did football. Seems things have gotten skewed. I do not pretend to know enough about the rest of Jackson Co. sports figures of past to even begin to discuss. I think you would be hard pressed to find many who could, except for maybe AJ Giardina(JK) and a few other old-timers who actively followed area high school sportsfor the past 50-60 yrs. I just know Goula from 70 s(a little 60 s from lore) to now. So, I will give list of all-time Goula team as I see it, and let the chips fall where they may. I tried to pick those who either went somewhere due to baseball, had the talent to do so, or was just dominant during his tenure.Coach- Doug Horn an old timer who played for PHS and then coached in 60 s did a lot for program as i hear itPitchers-Jimmy Colmer-Ole MissBlair Varnes-Florida St.Phillip Haigler-VandyMike Seaman-PerkKirk Larson-PerkCleon Davidson-Faulkner St??Position Players-Mike and Guy Summerlin-Ole MissEric Lane-Tulane/San Fran GiantsBubba Toups- Miss St.Bobby and Billy Collins- I don’t know where they went but they were awesome athletesJohnny Zelenka-TulaneJohnny Olsen-TulanePaul Tanner-Perk?Mike Thomas-?Perk?Keith Coleman-Univ Little Rock ArkansasMike Moreland-USMRobin Higginbotham-Minor Leagues?Enrico Jones-Miss St.Kirk Kinard- MillsapsI do not certify that all info above is correct, but it’s atleast 95%. I realize there are many that I left out before my time and after my time,(it is my era) that is why those older and younger than me should rationally put up their candidates and see who measures up. REGARDLESS, that is a damn fine group of ball players I just named.

oddio, forse una mia impressione (peraltro letaga agli ultimi screenshots, il che lascia il tempo che trova) ma mi sembra che il dettaglio grafico sia leggermente sceso.le strutture poligonali degli ambienti sembrano un po' pi spigolose rispetto agli screens rilasciati qualche mese fa e ho l'impressione che sar presente un po' di aliasing.se, tuttavia, dovesse rimanere fluido come nei video mostrati, credo che anche i "difetti" temuti (ma, ribadisco, frutto di un'impressione) non dovrebbero incidere sull'esperienza visiva e ludica.per il resto i nemici sembrano ancora favolosi e i giochi di luce eccellenti ma questa sembra sia essere il vero punto di forza del wii). [anche della ps2 si disse che era assolutamente inferiore alle piattaforme nintendo e microsoft ma poi, a causa della massiccia diffusione, le softwarehouse dovettero impegnarsi a fondo per spremere ogni singola capacit dell'emotion engine per presentare (a fronte di una concorrenza sempre pi agguerrita) prodotti cosmeticamente pi soddisfacenti appianando il gap con l'xbox e il gamecube (gli ultimi giochi per ps2 non hanno nulla da invidiare a quelli che girano sulle altre console).la situazione attuale del wii non diversa: si imposto sul mercato, ora si imporr anche come piattaforma di riferimento; il problema sar per gli utenti sony e microsoft che "subiranno" giochi multipiattaforma che sfrutteranno solo in parte le potenzialit delle loro macchine.prima con ps2, ora wii... sar che sono tifoso del napoli ma se non soffro non mi diverto.]

Thank you for your response. Roger and I do go back the the Bulldog days. Roger and I missed each other. I cannot remember, but I think he transferred from a Mississippi school to tech. He was a great friendand guy. The thought of Robert Stallworth brings a smile to my face. He was first class and took good care of the team.

Hey Randy, what a small world. So good to see that you found this site and have provided some interesting reading for those who remember those semi-pro baseball days along the Gulf Coast and more specific, the Jackson County, Ms. area. As you can see, there are many of us on this site that enjoy talking baseball history about the local area. Thanks again for your input on that “title game of ’86″. That was literally the last game in Merchants history as Stallworth hung up his cleats after leading the team for 15 seasons. Congratulations again on your induction into the Alabama HOF….One question, did you and pitcher Roger Parker play at Louisiana Tech together? He played with the Merchants in the 70′s as well correct?

Comment on Remembering Six by Leon Aleman, Jr.

Leon Aleman, Jr. — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 05:39:34 +0000

Greetings All! My name is Leon Aleman, Jr. When my brother, Sixto Louis, shared this article on our Uncle Six with me I was so inspired by the way he inspired so many of you that I forwarded the story to many of my fellow coaches and teacher friends. I am a high school teacher and coach of 21 years in San Antonio, Texas. We did not see or talk to Uncle Six very often but when we did we always talked baseball! It seemed no matter how well I felt I did or how good I thought I was, he always found something to critique and told me I could still do better! Now to the point, before I share this with you, I need to give you a little background info. My grandfather (mom’s dad), Salvador Acuna, was a great fan of baseball. There is a story about Salvador, do not know if it is true or not, but all the old timers say it is. Where, as a young man Salvador had an opportunity to play professional baseball, St. Louis Browns, I believe, but being a migrant worker and working for the family his mother did not sign the papers for him to go as he was underage and needed to make money. Well, Uncle Six loved to sit, have a beer and talk baseball with my “Grandpa Sal”. Though not related to him, other than my dad’s, Six’s brother’s, father-in-law, he often spoke very highly of his love and respect for Salvador and his love for “THE GAME”. Now the story, my Grandpa Sal loved to sit with me and talk baseball. Whether it was in his living room, in his kitchen with a bowl of menudo, out back by the picnic table, walking through the aisles at Handy Andy (for those of you who don’t know Handy Andy is an old San Antonio family grocery store, gone now, maybe one or two left), or at the “Sportsman’s”, his hangout across the vacant lot from his house, we talked baseball for hours! I can still see Grandpa Sal with his cold Pearl Beer in his right hand and smoky old cigarette in the other! Well, in all the many years of Little League, Pony League, Babe Ruth League, High School, College, and Amateur Ball, Salvador never was able to see me play, Well not exactly, Uncle Six did an awesome thing for me and my Grandpa Sal. I was playing for Incarnate Word College in the program’s inaugural year, Spring 1987, our field was under construction so we played our home games at Trinity University. I can not tell you who we played, whether we won or lost, or even how I did that day, but I can tell you this, my Grandpa Sal saw me play and he was proud! Thanks Uncle Six for bringing Grandpa Sal to my game! (Grandpa Sal died the following spring) That is the kind of person Sixto Aleman was he always seemed to do just what mattered. Thanks to all of you for remembering Uncle Six. God Bless you all!
