History ol the Clearwater Bombers

BACK IN 1940 the Blackbum L11m ber Co. ol Clearwater decided 10 spon• sor a softball team. Little did the sponsor reallu, !hat he was giving blnh to the team that would one day dominate amateur softball. From 1940 through 1945 the Slack• blirn Bombers were relatively unknown outside their own domain, ploying in the Clearwater City Lea�e and the We51 Coan Softball League. Many players were serving their country during those wur vears but most returned to nan all over in 1946. Prior to the state tournament In 1946 Eddie Moore al the Clearwater Parks and Recreation Departmenr took over at the halm of the club and led his charges to the state title, only to lose out in Lhe regionals. The Blackburn Bomber$ won the state and regional championships In 194 7 under the leadership of Moore and I ho softball world was soon to hear more of the Clearwater club •• 1huy finished lourth In the '47 World Touma• rncnt. Oearwater's Merchants Association took over the spollSorohip of the club In 1948 and officially changed the name of the team to the Clearwater Bombers. In their first year under the sponsorship ol the Merchants Assoc101ion the Bombers didn't make 1t to the World Tournament but made their move in 1949 when they finished In tho runner• up ,pot to the Tip Top Tallon of T0ron10. Ontario, Canada. IT WAS IN THE '49 World Tourna• menl tha1 people around the softboll world began 10 take notice of the Bombers as pitcher Merb Dudley fanned 65 batters lo a 21 Inning, 1-0 victory over Okmulgee, Okla. prior to losing a 3-1 heartbreaker to Toron10 in the finals. Dudley's mikeout record still holds. and mily never be overtaken or matciied. The Bombers g,1lned sw,,et revenge in 1950, winning their flm world cham• pionship by defeating Toronto·, eniry in the rinals. Midland, Mich. came roaring out of the loser's brackc1 in I.ho 1961 tourna ment and dealt 1he Bombers a twin

setback 10 take all the honors and th• Bombers were forced LO the sidolInes early In 1952 when they bowed in the Regional Tournament to Rossville. Ga. In 1963 the Bombers again finished in the runncrup spot in the World Tournament with Biggs Beaucyware of Detroit beaung the Clearwater crew twice enrouta tQ the b19 rrophy by ,cores of 2-0 and 1-(l. The second world lltle came to the Bombers in 1954 01 Minneapolis nnd It looked as If they would repeat In 1955 when the 1ournament came to Clear water for the lim time but Stratford, Conn. took the title with a 2·0 trlumph over the Bombers who were once more relcgared LO the ..pine,," position. Clearwater regained the champion• ship lr1 1956 at Sacramento. Callr. wlth a high scoring f 14·91 victory over Strat· ford in the finals and thon took thclt fourth title In 1957 when the second tournamenc was mged in Clearwater, The 1957 finals wore a thriller with tho BombcrJ finally beating Aurora, Ill, in an 18-innin9 1irlllle with Dudley toeing the slab all the way for the locals. MOORE RETIRED as manager aJtcr th• '57 World Tournament and formor pitcher Hank McWhorter was named Moore's successor. McWhorter's debut was anything but a glorlous event for tho likoable skipper as the Bombers went down 10 defeat In rapid fire suocess,on ot Minneapolis ahar winrnng 1ho tournament openru. In 1959 the Bornbe,'S underwent a robuildlng program end it appeared thoy would rake tho title hands down. Little did anyone count on the Herculean per, lormanoe turned In by Aurora·s great Harvey Storkel who pitched thro• game.s on the day of the finals and beat the Bombers twice on 1he last night to once again pin tho runnerup rag on the Clearwater entry. It looked as JI the Bombers would be forced to sottle for the No. 2 ,pot again in 1960 ot Jones Beach. Long Island. N.Y. as the McWhorter men were bounced into the loser·, bracket by Stockton, Calif. and then barely squeaked by Canton, N.C. In the10..,r's bracket rinals 10 gain the rlgh I to meel Stock10n in tho finals. Bobby Spell and •Bill Massey each hurled superb ball on that flMI night as the Bombers became th• first team in lilstorv of Amarnur Softball Association ol the Americas LO win live world championships. Just about everyone conceded the 4

title to the Bombers in 1961 but llnl• did anyone counl on a pitcher from Gardena, Cellf. and a catcher from St. Loula, Mo. as Riehle Stephen bumped 1he Bombers 1-0 in the tournament oponer and catcher Ed Ketterer slammed an extra inning homer four games later to knock the Bombers out of the picture. McWhorter called h quits aher the 1961 sea!iOn and Joe Everett, a former All-World Infielder with the Bombers, agreed to take over tho helm lor two years - no more, no ll!$s. &ereu' s record In World Touma· ment play must be the best anywhere as the personable barrister guided the Bombers to 12 stralght World Touma· ment victorfos and two world cham• pionships in as many tries. THE BOMBERS added new blood In 1962 when pltcher Weldon Haney joinod the local club from Dallas, Texas and catcher Bob Kuykendall moved here from Canton, N.C. Haney rolled up four victories In th• '62 tournament at Stratford and was nomed Ma,t Valuable Player 1n the Tournament as the Bombers scored a come-lrom•behlnd, eight-Inning 3-2 win over the host team to gain thofr sixth world championship and Kuykendall was a unanimous choice for All-World honors. In 1963 11 was almOSI a repeat of '62. It was e long battle 10 the finals. however, as the Bombers took 31 Innings before disposing al Portland, Ore. 4-3. The Bombers scored the lone run of the llnal game In the ninth inning and again Haney Will named Most Valuable Player with hls st•llar catcher again being recognized as the best receiver In softboll. True to his announcement whon he took ovor a, Bomber pilot In 1962, Everett res1gnod following the '63 tournament and third bateman Doug Mason was nomed to manage the Bomb erHho following year. It was a difterent story In 1964 •• th• Bombers traveled 10 Sunnyvale, Calif. lor 1h• classic and lost a ltean· breaking 2-1 decision In 1hs opene, 10 Providence, R.I. in 11 innings. The defending champions were not to be coumed lightly. however, as they came back to cop three straight victories only to oner. again run Into Metro Szeryk and the Engineers or Providence.

Afte, ta�ing down one win, the Bombers lost another henrtbreaker to

Aurora, Ill. and pltcher Joo Lynch. A specracular grab of Bllf Parker's home run bound drive by Ernie Greer in the finol rnning with the winning run on base halted the Bomber bid for cham• pionship number ten, It was only tho fourth time the Bomber, had not been No. 1. 2 or 3 in the 20 national tournamonts In which they had competed.
