"Lawrence-Dumont Stadium." With the arrival of the Wichita Wranglers in 1989, the facility underwent its most dramatic renovation in its history. Under the direction of city leaders and Bob Rich Jr., president of Wichita Baseball Inc. and owner of the Wranglers, work began on an ambitious $5.1 million restoration project. New box

Baseball fans may remember Siebert from his playing days with the Cleveland Indians from 7964 to 1969. He also pitched for the Boston Red Sox, Texas Rangers, St. Louis Cardinals and Oakland A's during his twelve-year career. He retired n1975 with a lifetime won-loss record of 140-114 (.551)

"My main goal will be to instill confidence in our pitching staff," says Siebert. "I've found that many pitchers, when making the jump from A to AA, start nibbling around the plate instead of coming right at the hitters. Two things happen when you fall behind in the count - and both are bad. My job will be to show our staff the value of throwing strikes and getting the hitter in a hole."

Siebert,55, served as pitching coach for the Waterloo Diamonds (Midwest, Class A) last year. He has been with the Padres organization as a coach, scout or instructor since 1984.

How To Score Wranglers fans can enjoy baseball more lhis summer by keeping score of the game. The best part about keeping score is that it's easy. Allyou need is a basic knowledge of baseball's rules. Experts use a simple code, wtrich is based on numbering players by their positions.

Number Players As Follows 1-Pitcher; 2-Catcher; 3-First Baseman; 4-Second Baseman; 5-:[hird Baseman; 6-Shortstop; 7-Left Fielder; 8-Center Fielder; 9-Right Fielder; DH-Designated Hitter

-&*-

Additional Symbols: lW for intentional walk, L for line drive, Kc for called out on strikes, B for bunt, and

ffio

a wavy line indicating a change, either for

ffi

€)

a new pitcher or batter.

Every time a batter goes to the plate, use

the number to indicate how he was retired or how he reached base. Fielding plays retiring batters or runners

also call for use of the numbers. For instance, the batter who grounds oul to the shortstop is retired 6-3 in your scoring. lf he flies to the right fielder, merely use the figure 9. lf it is foul; 9E

before succeeding in the major leagues - most recently Dave Hollins (Phillies), Ricky Bones (Brewers) and Andy Benes (Padres). But Ed Lynch, the Padres' director of player development, believes

that the'92 Wranglers will also have their share of major league caliber talent. "We have what I feel is our best group of young prospects together going into Wichita," says Lynch, who notes that this move from Class A to Class AA is a crucial step for ballplayers wishing to make it to the major leagues. "The old saying when I played was once

higher. There's more pressure, the crowds are bigger. You're going to see a lot more fuhrre major leaguers on the field at AA than you

will at A ball." Observers say that in

addition to their obvious

physical skills, a key factor in the Mavericks' championship play last season was their positive team attitude. Many players give credit to Bochy for fostering this winning team chemistry. "What makes for good team chemistry is everybody pulling for each other," says Bochy, a former major league catcher with both the Padres and New York Mets. "You can give me nine guys with average ability who have the right chemistry out there, and they'll do better than a bunch of better players who don't play well together." Bochy also believes in not only teaching young players how to play, but also how towin. "It's a big part of development. Before the game, we work on ftrndamentals. But once the game starts, we play to win, and hopefully as they move up the ladder, they'll understand that the important thing is playing as a team and having a team concept. You have that and winning becomes a number one priority." With an aggressive offensive approach unrivaled in team history, Wichita should wear out the carpet this season at Lawrence-Dumont Stadium. Leading a charge of fleet-footed

"We need to have our table setters get on and make things happen." ln addition to the Wranglers overall team speed, high hopes for a Texas League champiorship also depend on the quality and depth of their pitching staff.

"I think pitching is really going to be the key," says Lynch, who mentions Scott Sanders, Tim Worrell, Lance Painter, Scott Fredrickson and Mark Ettles as Wranglers hurlers who should make a major impact this season. "We have guys we feel will pitch in the big leagues," says Bochy, who managed many of these same pitchers last year at High Desert. Pitching coach Sonny Siebert says he will appreciate having both Fredrickson and Ettles, a power/finesse bullpen combination, to help close out games. He is also very high on Sanders (9-6,3.66

ERA last year) and Worrell (13-6 in '91): "Sanders is a power pitcher and has one of the best sliders in the organization. And Worrell . . . when he's on, he's untouchable." Another starter to keep an eye on is Lance Painter, who

Three new players promoted from Class A will continue the assault - outfielder Dwayne Hosey (27 stolen bases in'91) and former Mavericks'second baseman Matt Witkowski (24 stolenbases last year) and shortshop Ray Holbert

Supplying some much needed power will be a group of fresh faces: first baseman ]ay Gainer, who led the minor leagues in home rurs last year with 32; third baseman Paul Gonzalez, who contributed 14 home runs and 64 RBIs in just 371 at-bats last year at High Desert; outfielder Hosey, who hit 15 homers and knocked in 62 RBIs Iast year in only 355 at bats, and catcher Pedro Lopez, who had 8 dingers and 57 ribbies in 342 plate appearances in

"We believe in speed," says Lynch. "We (Padres organization) led all of minor league baseball in stolen bases last year and we plan to do that again this year. We're not gonna get on a guy for being picked off or being thrown out in steal situations. We just preach to them not to be thrown out when you can't afford to get thrown out. After that, just go for it." "We're gonna create some havoc on the bases and keep the pressure on the other team," adds manager Bochy.

In addition to his Texas League duties, Carl was a frequent member of the Executive Committee of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues, Inc., and was serving as its Chairman at the time of his death. All of his many friends and associates in the Texas Baseball League, the National Association and throughout baseball, will miss Carl Sawatski, but they will always be thankful that they were touched by his quality of life, enthusiasm and integrity. Carl will truly be remembered as one who always placed others first and made them feel special. He was a great person.

IN YOUR GROCER'S FREEZER

The Texas League has tumed to basketball to find its new president. Tom Kayser, vice president and general manager of the Continental Basketball Association's Rockford Lightning, has been chosen to succeed the late Carl Sawatski. L:r truth, Kayser is no stranger to baseball. He spent 16 years as a minor league operator and assistant farm director with Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. It was his skill in marketing and merchandising that impressed league ownership. "Those are qualities all leagues are looking for," said Con Maloney, owner of the ]ackson Generals. "We're looking for more than a good baseball man." Kayser,39, was the general manager of the Holyoke Millers from1977 to 1981. After that, he spent five years as assistant farm director for the Pirates, then 14 months in a similar capacity with the Reds. His boss each time was Branch Rickey III, now the president of the Class AAA American Association. He spent the 1989 season as director of baseball operations for the Triple A Calgary Cannons, then worked in sports marketing and consulting jobs until he joined the Lightning. But baseball is his first love. "The Texas League job is a premier job," he said. "The league is blessed with great ownersllp. I look at this as the last job I'll ever look for in sports."

witnessed plenty of hits, along with a few errors, the city of Wichita is

currently the only community in the Sunflower State to be home to a professional base-

ball franchise. The Wranglers' 1992 season marks Wichita's 60th organized baseball campaign. The city's teams have been known by a variety of colorful nicknames Jobbers, Witches, Wolves, Izzies, Larks, Aviators, Oilers, lndians, Braves, Aeros and Pilots. The city's inaugural team, the 1887 Wichitas, were -

called by less flattering monikers in their fust and only campaign after absorbing a late-season 4G7 licking in Nebraska, and later limping out of the Westem League with a 7-25 record.

Through the years, tfuee different ballparks have hosted professional baseball Association Park, Island Park, and of course, Lawrence,/ Lawrence-Dumont Stadium. Since the tum of the century, Wichita's teams have

competed in five classifications - the Class C Westem Association (1905-08, champions in'05 and'07), the "old" Class A Westem League (79W -33, championships in '18,'27, '30 and'31), the

"new" Class A Westem League (1950-55, Govemor's Cup winners in'55), the

Triple-A American Association (1955-58 and 1970-U, champs in'52 division winners in'72) and the

in'87, division winners in '89).

Here's a brief era-by-era look at some of the teams, personalities and performances which have entertained Wichita baseball fans for sixty seasons: r Association Park Era (190$ 11)

The'07 team was also sparked by Harley (Cy The Third) Young, whose 29-4(.879) season made him the only Wichita hurler ever to lead all the minors in win-

record of 69 consecutive games, en route to Wichita's best single season batting average of.422. ln 1920, Yam Yaryan slugged 41home runs to become the only Wichita player ever to lead all the

minors in four-baggers. In fact, the only player to hit more home rurs that year (54) was a rookie for the Yankees named Ruth. The 1921,Izzies, with a slam-bang, free-wheelhg offense typical of the Westem League in those days (.341team avenge,749 homers), posted 106 victories - 19 consecutive to close the season - to become Wichita's

Wichita club to cop a Triple-A pennant. Carlton Willey posted a record of 21,-6 (the only 20-game winner in stadium history) and became the first of seven Wichita players to win the American Association Most Valuable Player award (followed by Pat Bourque in ' 72, P ete LaCock in' 7 4, Karl Pagel in'79, Ken Phelps in '82, Mike Stenhouse in'83,

and Alan IGicely in'84). The club also produced the first of three American Association Rookies of the Year, Ray Shearer (Chris Chambliss and Buddy Bell followed n1970 arrd' 7 1., respectively). Veteran Lawrence-

Dumont faithful also can recall Phelp's "phantastic" '82

By Rocky Petralia ookie was born April 1,1902 in Medicine Lodge, Kansas. His fondest memories of youth are of playing sandlot baseball with the many other youngsters who were being swept up in the emerging Great

American Pastime. While not blessed with a great amount of nafural talent, Cookie became a local legend by being one of the earliest employers of the knuckleball. The pitch, which Cookie

called the "flutterball," earned him a stint with a minor league team in the Carolinas, where he roomed with "Shoeless" Joe Jackson during his post-"Black Sox" scandal exile. The friendship that developed between Cookie and Shoeless Joe did not go unnoticed by management, who chose to have )ackson give Cookie the news one spring moming. Cookie was told he was being cut in favor of a younger player, prompting Cookie to utter the now famous plea, "Say it ain't so, Joe!" His playing days now behind him, Cookie took to being a full-time fan. In 7932,he was able to snag a prime bleacher seat for a game during the Cubs-Yankees World Series. It was an especially warm and humid afternoon at Wrigley, and in the interest of comfort, Cookie did something that was unheard of at the time - he took off his shirt in public. The batter at the plate happened to be none other than Babe Ruth, who found the backdrop of Cookie's doughy alabaster skin glistening with perspiration a distraction. He stepped out of the box and gestured to Cookie to put his shirt back on, which Cookie obligingly did out of respect for the Sultan of Swat. Babe cracked the next pitch over the centerfield fence, a home-run that to

In the years since, Cookie has seen many of the great moments and

milestones in baseball. There have been disappointments, like missing all of |oe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak, only to have terrific seats behind the first base dugout for game

number 57. The frustrations, however, have been more than offset by all of the cherished memories that Cookie has accumulated over the years. From his seat adjacent to the left field foul pole at Fenway Park, Cookie witnessed what he considers the single most exciting game ever, Game 6 of '75 World Series. When Carlton Fisk hit a towering shot with the score tied in the 12th inning, Cookie began dancing in celebration. With his sizable noggin bobbing up and down, however, Fisk's ability to see if the ball was fair or foul was seriously impaired. The Red Sox catcher found himself running to first while waving for Cookie to move his "coconut" to the right so that he could see the darn ball! Of course, the ball would land fair and the BoSox would live to play another

duy. Twelve years later, taking in a Minnesota Twins game at the new 46

Metrodome in1987, Cookie had a chance encounter that would change his life. Sitting next to Cookie in the

right field pavilion was Steve Shaad, the new general manager of the National Baseball Congress. A conversation developed between the two, with Shaad explaining that he had recently been brought aboard by Rich Baseball Operations to run the NBC toumament in Wichita, the traditional baseball event which brought Cookie back to Lawrence-Dumont every August since his childhood. He told Cookie he was searching for an ambassador for his new baseball endeavors. Shaad immediately knew that Cookie was the right man for the job, and excitedly pitched him on the idea of coming home to his roots and settling down. Wanting to accept Shaad's offer but unable to get in a word edgewise, Cookie waved his napkin in mock surrender. Both men were so pleased with their new relationship that they failed to notice Kent Hrbek's towering home run. The rest is history. In Minnesota, the "homer hankie" was bom, and in Wichita, Cookie had taken the first step toward becoming the official mascot of the Wichita Wranglers and weaving himself into the tapestry that is baseball in America's Heartland.

to a family-

oriented, customerservice philosophy,

dynamic sports marketing and dedication to fielding a winning team, Bob and Mindy Rich have led Rich Baseball Operations - the corporate parent of the Wichita Wranglers, the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons of the American Association, and the Class A Niagara Falls Rapids of the New YorkPenn League - to the forefront of professional baseball. This fact was reaffirmed this past season when the Bisons - formerly the Wichita Aeros Triple-A franchise - set an all-time, single season attendance record by drawing 7,240,957 fans, breaking their own 1988

mark of L,186,651. tickets

Award for

continued excellence in baseball operations. In 1989, the Wranglers first year under Rich ownership, the club more than dou-

Wichita, but he has com-

new home for the Bisons. As executive vice president of Rich Baseball Operations and president of Rich Communications Corporation, Mindy Rich is responsible for overseeing the Rich organization's baseball and radio interests. These include the Wranglers, the Rapids, and operations at WGRNewsRadio55 and97 Rock, Rich's flagship radio stations.

mitted to provide this community with one of the best organizations in minor league baseball. Rich is president of Rich Products Colporation of Buffalo, NY, the nation's largest family-owned frozen foods manufacturer, as well as president of Rich Baseball Operations (RBO). He was named the 1991 American Association Executive of the Year, adding to his 1986 and 1988 selection as top Association executive and '88 choice as The Sporting News' Minor League Executive of the Year. Bob Rich fr.'s involvement with professional baseball dates to 1983 when he came forth to purchase the

then-struggling Double-A Buffalo franchise in order to keep professional baseball in the Queen City. In 1984, Rich realized another major goal when he purchased the Aeros and moved the franchise to Buffalo. And in 1988, Rich cut the ribbon on Pilot Field, the city's downtown "jewel," celebrating the fulfillment of a dream to build a

Under Mindy's marketing guidance, the Bisons posted record-breaking attendance marks and eamed a spot on the "short list" for National l,eague expansion. For this success, she was named the 1988 Rawlings Female Minor League Executive of the Year and also one of The Buffalo News'Citizens of the Year

for

1988.

Strong community leaders, Bob and Mindy serve as co-chairpersons of Westem New York United Against Drug and Alcohol Abuse, a program geared toward prevention and education of substance abuse.

In their relatively short history, the Buffalo Bisons have become a model for other professional baseball franchises. Pilot Field is the perfect example of their com-

mitment to excellence. The faciliiy was the culmination of a $42million investment by the city govemment and private conhibutors to build a showcase venue for baseball. The stadium currently offers seating for 20,000 fans, 52

with an option for expansion to 42,000 seats when major league baseball arrives. This same type of commitment to professional baseball is clearly evident here in

Wichita. After taking over the reigns of the National Baseball Congress in 1986, the Riches purchased the Wranglers franchise in time for the 1989 season to keep professional baseball in Wichita. Agreeing that historic lawrence-Dumont Stadium could be improved during their first visit to the stadium in7987, the Riches quickly became a major factor in the city council approving a $5 million, three-year renovation program for the ballpark. For long-time baseball fans in Kansas, the improvements in comfort and ambiance at Lawrence-

Dumont have become a cornerstone to the future of baseball in the Wichita community. With Bob and Mindy professional yet personal approach to sports management, the Wichita Wranglers have also become a model franchise throughout the minors. Yet it is their continued attention to the needs of their team's fans - with customer service a top priority that makes Wranglers Baseball a wonderful entertainment experience as well as an excellent economic value, or in short, affordable
