Caley Roarke vs Frank Cunliffe |
Tim Rogers takes on the head Indian. |
 Diamond
& Gridiron Champ ...
The Superstar Baseball field was the smallest in the
past eight years despite WBCs largest attendance ever. Could
it be baseball is on the wane? This year's format consisted of
three heats played on consecutive days during the week. Heat
winners and runners-ups advanced to the playoffs. Two wildcard
teams were chosen on their overall record for the tourney to
complete an 8-team playoff field. We had several newcomers and
two of them advanced to the playoffs.
The Heat winners were Terry Coleman, Caley Roark, and Roderick
Lee. Winton Lemoine, Bill Beckman and Lori Wallace claimed seconds.
The two Wildcards were taken by Jacob Hebner and Steve Cameron.
The matchups that followed were: #1 Coleman (53 Yankees) vs #8
Cameron (92 Blue Jays); #2 Roark ( 01 D'backs) vs #7 Hebner (07
Rockies); #3 Lee ( 81 Dodgers) vs #6 Wallace (97 Indians); and
#4 Lemoine ( 24 Senators) vs #5 Beckman (54 Indians).
The first two rounds of the playoffs were one game, winner take
all. Coleman's Yanks, Lee's Dodgers, Beckman's Indians and Hebner's
Rockies each won first round games and moved on. In Round 2,
the 53 Yanks tied the 54 Indians with two out in the 9th on a
Mickey Mantle RBI single. They then ousted defending champion
Beckman and his Indians, with a Gil McDougal triple in the 10th.
The 07 Rockies defeated the 81 Dodgers handily to advance to
the Championship series.
Playing a best two of three format, Hebner's Rockies rode the
strong pitching of righthander Ubaldo Jimenez and the crafty
southpaw Jeff Francis to a sweep of the Yankees. The Rockies
won the first game 2-1 on a 9th inning homer by Todd Helton.
The Rocks benefited from three unearned runs in the third of
Game 2 and made them stand up for a 3-1 victory and Hebner's
first SSB title - making him the King of Sport at WBC 2013 with
titles in both baseball and football. Will basketball be next?
A sporting trifecta awaits.

Johnny Wilson and Tim Rogers relive
the nation's passtime in days of yore. |
World Series time but Terry Coleman
is no match for the Paydirt champ. |
