Make Time For Those Who Need You And The Causes
You Believe In
THE PHILANTHROPIST, FROM JACKIE TO JETER, DRACULA, COOL BLONDE, AND NEVER HAVING CHILDREN
Lewis Katz was a poor boy from Camden, who became a businessman and philanthropist. Although at one time he was the major owner of the New Jersey Nets and New Jersey Devils, he is best known for his generous donations to his alma mater, Temple University. Don Zimmer was the consummate "baseball lifer", whose career in the game spanned 66 seasons, all the way from Jackie Robinson to Derek Jeter. Carla Laemmle, whose uncle was the founder of Universal Studios, had a career in Hollywood that spanned ten decades. In Dracula (1931), she famously spoke the first words in a horror film when she said, "Among the rugged peaks that frown down upo...

Two players, Pee Wee Reese and Pete Reiser meet two cuban debutantes at the nightclub
for some chat and dancing. The girls will show them
how to dance THE RUMBA.
The BROOKLYN DODGERS of 1942 are as follows:
Manager: LEO DUROCHER.
Players: Dolph Camilli, Billy Herman, Pee Wee Reese,
Arky Vaughan, Charlie Dressen, Mickey Owen,
Joe (Muscles) Medwick, Pete Reiser, Cliff Dapper,
Ed (Rube) Albosta, Johnny Rizzo.
The photos are by famed photographer WILLIAM
VANDIVERT ( for Life Magazine) ( not for commercial

The music by the TRio Matamoros and Cuarteto
Maisi was very popular in Cuba and all over the world.
MUSICA CUBANA. SON CUBANO.
Magazine article of March 1942 provided these captions
concerning the photos of Willian Vandivert:
The Brooklyn Dodgers they practice and play hard at
spring training in Havana.
00:14-00:45 "The Dodgers quarter-million dollar infield
poses beneath a signboard outside Tropical Stadium.
Left to right: Dolph Camilli, Billy Herman, Peewee Reese,
and Arky Vaughan, recently obtained from the Pirates."
02:48 " On visit to school museum, usually mild-mannered
Dolph Camilli catches famous Dodger anything-for-a-gag
spirit apes stuffed gorilla to amuse admiring students.".
03:52-05:50: " With straw as bat, PeeWee Reese shows
two cuban debs how to bunt. Girls taught Reese and his
reluctant roommate Reiser how to rumba. Boys drank papaya juice."
05:56 " Shoes in hand, Peewee and Pete tiptoe down the hall to their room. Club is strict about midnight deadline,
often hires detectives to check on players night activities"
06:14-06:21 "Under elaborate mosquito nets, Peewee
and Pete usually sleep ten hours. Like rest of squad, they
have spacious ocean-front room at the swank Hotel
Nacional de Cuba."
07:40 "acting as judge on the finish line Larry MacPhail names catcher Mickey Owen the winner of mile and a half
race. Only five players on the squad could run entire distance. Owen won $25.-"
07:45 " Ed (Rube) Alborta right handed rookie pitcher from
Durham, N.C. farm club, does a turtle walk to limber up his
back".
07:50 "Charley Gelbert, 36 year old shortstop, works
overtime on mat to loosen up his aging muscles"
07:55 " In a friendly wrestling match 160 lb. PeeWee
Reese is quickly overpowered by ox-like Fred Fitzsimmons
who weighs 200 lbs."
08:09 " Joe ('Muscles') Medwick hits a loud foul. He is
also called 'Ducky' and 'Showboat", cost $200,000 in
cash and players.".
08:16-08:21 " Popular Dolph Camilli is National League
home-run king. He has a large California ranch, private
plane, and five children.".
.
09:00 " Coach Charley Dressen puts Speed-Boys Reiser
and Reese through intensive sliding drill in sand pit.
Reese, lead-off man, topped the club in stolen bases
last season with ten."
11:20-11:33 " Larry MacPhail and Leo Durocher behind the
batting cage, watch Dodger rookies go through hitting
drill in Havana."
12:19 " most promising rookie, handsome Cliff Dapper
will be substitute catcher. He batted .277 with Hollywood
last season.".
12:40 "Durocher exercises best vocal cords in baseball"
14:05-14:10 " unlocking 'Dodger' meat is daily routine for
hotel chef. At great cost MacPhail shipped 2,000 lbs of
best grade beef to Cuba because players demanded
U.S. steaks.".
quotes from the 1942 article on THE BROOKLYN DODGERS:
" Until the advent of Larry MacPhail in 1938, fans attended
Brooklyn baseball games to laugh at the Dodgers. Now
they go to laugh with them and incidentally to see baseball
played at its fastest , roughest, and best. Gone are the
empty-stand, stumble-bum days when the highlight of a
Dodger game was the tragicomedy of "Babe" Herman
stealing third with the base already occupied. Today the Dodgers are a million dollars worth of ballplayers,
cocksure champions of the National League, who last
year drew more paid spectators than any baseball team
in the world.....last fall MacPhail gave Brooklyn its first
winning in 21 years.".
"On this and following page LIFE shows the 1948 Dodgers,
who hope to repeat, working and playing themselves
into condition under balmy Havana skies.".
"Play ball!"

Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame
Luis Clemente Tiant Vega (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈlwis ˈtjant]) (born November 23, 1940) is a former Major League Baseball (MLB) right-handed starting pitcher. He pitched in MLB for 19 years, primarily for the Cleveland Indians and the Boston Red Sox.
Tiant compiled a 229–172 record with 2416 strikeouts, a 3.30 ERA, 187 complete games, and 49 shutouts in 3486 1⁄3 innings. He was an All-Star for three seasons and 20-game winner for four seasons. He was the American League (AL) ERA leader in 1968 and 1972. He also was the AL leader in strikeouts for 9-innings in 1967 and the AL leader in shutouts in 1966, 1968, and 1974.
Tiant was considered for election to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum via voting of the Baseball Writers' Association of America from 1988 to 2002, and by era committees in 2011, 2014, and 2017, falling short of the required votes each time. He was inducted to the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame in 1997, the Hispanic Heritage Baseball Museum Hall of Fame in 2002, the Venezuelan Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in 2009, and the Baseball Reliquary's Shrine of the Eternals in 2012.
Early years
Cuba and Mexico
Tiant is the only child of Luis Tiant Sr. and Isabel Vega. From 1926 through 1948, the senior Tiant was a great left-handed pitcher for the Negro League's New York Cubans during the summer and the Cuban professional league's Cienfuegos in the winter, his heroics being followed by hundreds of thousands of Cubans. Luis, Jr. followed in his father's footsteps at an early age, joining both the local Little and Juvenile baseball leagues until he starred for the Havana team and was picked up for the Cuban Juvenile League All-Star team in 1957.
His talent was recognized by former Cleveland Indians All-Star, Bobby Ávila, who was scouting for talent in Cuba. Avila recommended him to the Mexico City Tigers of the Mexican League. Tiant was signed for $150 a month, and for the next three years he divided his time between the Tigers and the Havana Sugar Kings in the International League.

Make Time For Those Who Need You And The Causes

THE PHILANTHROPIST, FROM JACKIE TO JETER, DRACULA, COOL BLONDE, AND NEVER HAVING CHILDREN
Lewis Katz was a poor boy from Camden, who became a businessman and philanthropist. Although at one time he was the major owner of the New Jersey Nets and New Jersey Devils, he is best known for his generous donations to his alma mater, Temple University. Don Zimmer was the consummate "baseball lifer", whose career in the game spanned 66 seasons, all the way from Jackie Robinson to Derek Jeter. Carla Laemmle, whose uncle was the founder of Universal Studios, had a career in Hollywood that spanned ten decades. In Dracula (1931), she famously spoke the first words in a horror film when she said, "Among the rugged peaks that frown down upon the Borgo Pass are found crumbling castles of a bygone age. " Martha Hyer was Universal's cool blonde of the 1950's. Alexander Imich was the oldest man in the world who attributed his longevity to never having children.
Donald William Zimmer (January 17, 1931 -- June 4, 2014) was an American infielder, manager, and coach in Major League Baseball (MLB). Zimmer was involved in professional baseball from 1949 until his death, a span of 65 years.[1]
Zimmer signed with the Brooklyn Dodgers as an amateur free agent in 1949. He played in MLB with the Dodgers (1954--1959, 1963), Chicago Cubs (1960--1961), New York Mets (1962), Cincinnati Reds (1962), and Washington Senators (1963--1965). Shortly thereafter came a stint with the Toei Flyers of Nippon Professional Baseball in 1966.
In between, Zimmer saw action in all of parts of 18 minor league seasons spanning 1949--1967. He also played winter baseball with the Elefantes de Cienfuegos[2] and the Tigres de Marianao[3] of the Cuban League during the 1952--1953 season, as well as for the 1954--1955 Puerto Rican League champion Cangrejeros de Santurce en route to the 1955 Caribbean Series. Zimmer led his team to the Series title, topping all hitters with a .400 batting average (8-for-20), three home runs and a .950 slugging percentage, while claiming Most Valuable Player honors.
During a minor league game on July 7, 1953, Zimmer was struck by a pitch thrown by pitcher Jim Kirk, causing Zimmer to lose consciousness. He suffered a brain injury that required surgery. He woke up two weeks later, thinking that it was the day after the game where the incident took place. This led to Major League Baseball adopting batting helmets as a safety measure to be used by players when at-bat. Phil Rizzuto was the first player to use the batting helmets.
Following his retirement as a player, Zimmer began his coaching career. He worked in Minor League Baseball, before coaching the Montreal Expos (1971), San Diego Padres (1972), Boston Red Sox (1974--1976, 1992) New York Yankees (1983, 1986, 1996--2003), Cubs (1984--1986), San Francisco Giants (1987), Colorado Rockies (1993--1995), and Tampa Bay Devil Rays / Rays (2004--2014). He served as manager for the Padres (1972--1973), Red Sox (1976--1980), Texas Rangers (1981--1982), and Cubs (1988--1991).
Lewis Katz (January 11, 1942 -- May 31, 2014) was an American businessman, philanthropist, and newspaper publisher, who was a co-owner of The Philadelphia Inquirer
A noted philanthropist, he was the director of the Katz Foundation, which supports charitable, educational and medical causes. To support pioneering medical research, Katz established an annual prize and endowed a visiting professorship in cardiovascular research at Columbia University, where he serves on the Board of Visitors of the medical school. His $15 million gift to The Dickinson School of Law at Pennsylvania State University helped fund a law school building that bears his name. A native of Camden, N.J, Katz has established several programs to help Camden children. Katz also donated to Jewish organizations, focused on young Jewish[5] entrepreneurs
Alexander Herbert Imich (February 4, 1903 -- June 8, 2014) was a Polish-born American chemist, parapsychologist, and supercentenarian, who was the president of the Anomalous Phenomena Research Center in New York City. He was born in 1903 in Częstochowa, Poland (then a part of Russian Empire) to a Jewish family.[1][2] Since Imich's death, the world's oldest known man is Sakari Momoi of Japan (born February 5, 1903, one day after Imich)
