Could everyone write one simple essay about something that once happened in Saltaire…that they saw or were a part of…and put it on one big website? Somebody should collect a lot of stories before we all forget. Otherwise it is like a line in “On The Beach” : The history of the war that now would never be written.” -(JO'H)

SALTAIRE SOFTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP WEEKEND HISTORY BLOG: THAT MISSING CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON

Skconj & Mike

Picture by Justin Zizes Jr.

Historians search aging, vanishing memories of the Mystery of the Championship of 1974


Jon Lyon:

"Alex Chefetz, the current Saltaire Softball League commissioner, has sent out to the entire league playership a packet of league artifacts which I had provided him. Herewith for the special crowd, those for whom the present day league could never ever have been possible, is a copy of the missive, with attachments, along with the dramatic accounting of the entrails of the fateful 1974 season."


Alex Chefetz:

"With our tiny island and more importantly, our historic Wright Field in double jeopardy over the next 48 hours [that is, Irene the Nasty - Ed.] , it is only appropraite that we reflect and gain perspective over the SSL's "Body of Work" begun in 1971. An issue that has boggled the minds of many great softball historians over the past 40+ years has been the dissapearance of a Champion in the 1974 season. Many theories have been written and conjectured but few have help up to softball science. Until now...

Dogfish HOF and career leader in special doubles from a left handed hitter, Jon Lyon, recently completed the "Mystery of 1974 - an SSL enigma" an HBO documentary that will show during the 2011 World Series expected to be between the Mets and A's. Take a gander below and check out the attachments. Any ideas or comments are welcome. The very scrary thing is that the players mentioned below were my childhood heros and players i rooted for each weekend".

Here's to another 40+ years - Commish Chefetz .


Frank Connolly: "As an addendum to Jon’s note – I distinctly recall awarding the championship trophy to the Mergers (as well as the batting championship trophy, to Billy Cunningham) immediately after making the (belated) decision to call the game, and after John Bartow had been taken off to Good Sam. My memory of this is quite vivid because , in awarding said trophy, I – feeling some bitterness about the way events had transpired – observed to the Mergers in general, “I hope you’re satisfied.” Kevin Cunningham took exception to this comment, and – as only Kevin could – he made his demurral known at great volume and with colorful verbiage, to the extent that I spent the remainder of Labor Day weekend in a state approaching mortal fear.

So I can state for certain that a championship was awarded at the conclusion of the 1974 season, in accordance with the rules of the US Softball Association – which clearly state that in the event post-season playoffs cannot be completed, the regular-season winner shall be declared the champion."

Frank Connolly


Jon Lyon:

Now, more on that 1974 championship game. There was a part I left out in the below description so as not include rancor with the colorful memories. But as Frank and I discussed, there was an almost(?) brawl when Too Big Tommy Kampa, running to first on an infield pop up, barreled into pitcher John Bartow trying to field it on the first base line. Talk about being roughed up, talk about being creamed. I remember Tommy hosting a big smile as he bulldozed into poor John. Not very sportsmanlike. And with Bartow suffering that leg injury it was a bit much.

Frank, this might have contributed to your "hope you're satisfied" comment to Kevin. (As it was, there was always a mean streak buried inside Kevin's cheerful demeanor. Some called him the Bad Cunningham. He inspired that treasure hunt clue: Sly Pig.

Finally, you may have noticed the 1974 Scorebook was not attached to the original send out. Difficulties with the fade in/fade out nature of the scorebook contents prevented attaching. I will have a limited supply of printed copies out at the beach this championship weekend (and will keep some aside for the Special Folks).

JOH: I appointed Frank Connolly Commissioner. I thought he was first. Not so, sez Jon:

Always a sticking point with me. Frank C. was indeed a fine Commish but was not the first. I preceded him, I believe, including in 1973. I prepared the '73 schedule and made the field decisions, took the heat, and got it done. That 1973 schedule was typed by me up in Mary Keane's office on a late sunny day, after work (as asst. to Mary). As Maurice C. sang, I remember it well.

Frank C, Commisioner, verifies that Jon was the first and he was the second:

I certainly remember Jon as the Commish in 1973.  I was playing -- how shall I put this? -- well, I was playing an ineffectual but inoffensive second base for the Teens that season, and Jon was the man in charge of scheduling, umpires, etc.  It was an honor to follow in his footsteps the next year.  The Teens were, of course, Mark Heller's squad; several of us wanted the team to be known as the "Heller Highwaters," but for some inexplicable reason the name never caught on.  Jim is certainly right in naming Mark "most uptight" -- he was a truly talented player, but the least amount of pressure would make him go haywire.  And of course, no one applied the pressure better or more uproariously than Hal Seltzer.  Hal was one of the great Saltaire bench jockeys of all time, and Mark was his favorite target. Mark would be on the mound, Hal would start riding him in that stentorian voice of his -- "Hey Mark, startin' to feel the heat?  Hey Mark, it's getting' pretty hot up there!" -- and guaranteed, Mark's next pitch would sail into low-earth orbit.  Not a pretty sight if you were behind him on the field, but pretty amusing if you were in the stands.  The irony -- or maybe it's appropriate -- is that Mark's a psychologist now...  O-bi-Joe certainly represented the spirit of Saltaire softball; in a similar vein, I'd award another honorable mention to Fred Shapiro.  Freddy was our next-door neighbor on Marine Walk -- a hilariously funny man and a gifted writer, a colleague of Jon's mom at the New Yorker -- and he platooned at second base for the Men.  Fred never missed a game for maybe 15 years, and he unfailing wore the same paint-spattered sweatshirt.  But what I always liked most about Freddy was that he was the only other second baseman in the league whom I could out-hit.  There were a lot of good young players in Saltaire in the early and mid-70s, but one who tends to get overlooked in retrospect is Chris Boyman.  Chris played outfield for the Teens and then moved to shortstop for the Wrecks in the early '80s.  He played varsity ball at Princeton and had the whole package -- a graceful fielder, a solid hitter with some power, and a very smart (if not exactly fleet) baserunner.  Good guy, too.


JOH: I always think of Chris Boyman with his good pal, the late great MIKE BERNSTEIN.

JOH: Taken: Jon was ther first commish. Frank was seond. well, anyway, me and Tom worked on the original news release of 1971. Posted below:

Free Drinks Here



One free chit ticket for anyone who can identify who would be tending bar the year they were issued. Comment away.


10/27/10: we have a winner, we think. The bartender in 1970: Rich Umdenstock


Bill Stilgebauer attests:
Having spent a large portion of my Summers as an employee of the SYC from !960 through 1966, I thought I would add my memories to the various prior emails. In 1960 I was the club janitor usually cleaning up after the weekend drunk fests( the ladies restroom was the worst). I believe this was just before the tenure of Jim O’Conner and his wife , Terrie. They were the stewards of the Club for several years in the early 60’s and were actual bar type pros. Jim was hard of hearing ,but heard better than he let on; so he could ease drop on what was being said at the bar. Terrie was a good cook and a hard worker and they taught me how to bartend and run the club. There was a lot of money to be made in those days, a small weekly salary plus 15% of the take and the free apartment at the Club. The drinks were cheap even in those days and people DRANK A LOT .The chit book system made accounting easy and fostered spending money. Some members ran tabs and this could at times cause collection issues which were left up to the Board and the Commodore and not the stewards. I started working on weekend nights as a bus boy and then became an illegal bartender

For several years before I was 18. I was paid off the books for most of my services until I became the Steward in 1966 . Larry Marcus was the Commodore and I interviewed with him at The Harvard Club in NYC the Christmas break from college in 1965.I hired a fraternity brother , Bob Hill, to work for me that summer and we had a good experience. An active social life was nil because the bar was open every night of the week ,but Monday. It was not hard work except on the weekends, but you had to keep up with the liquor and beer orders and other bar supplies. We used to make up Stingers in gallon jugs on Saturday afternoons as this was a very popular drink. It also allowed us to get the ants out of the white Crème De Mint bottles prior to having the members in the Club. The big dinner weekends like the Steak Dinner and others were always busy and the booze flowed like water. Many patrons stayed well after the entertainment was over( Ken Thompson on the Piano) and bought several drink prior to closing ;so they could continue to party. Saturday nights ran well into the early hours of Sunday morning and then it was time to get up , clean the bar up and be open again at 5 in the afternoon. Usually I met with Dino Veronse to square the books for the week on Mondays and then Monday night would party with many of you. Larry Marcus was a great boss who allowed us to use the Club’s liquor when not on duty and let us smoke the cigs we sold at the bar, again not while working. Every few weeks the company that owned the vending Pool Table and Juke Box would come from the mainland to collect their money( you know who ran those businesses on Long Island). He was a nice guy and would give Bob and I any change he could not wrap and a carton of smokes. Unfortunately I had to give the job up the following summer because I had to go to ROTC summer camp. In 1969 I was going to run the Club again with Walter ,but my poor grades in law school forced me back to Richmond for summer term. I was able to get one of the Lem boys (sorry cannot pull the name back) to work with Walter that year. I got married the following year and that was the end of my years at the SYC. I have fond memories of many of good Saltairians who are no longer with us and a few stories I wish not to repeat. As I said it was a great summer job ! Bill Stillgebauer

Jeff Weinlandt: “I was serving Uncle Sam. not drinks, from June 9, 1969 to June 8, 1971. I was the bartender at the SYAC with Rich Umbdenstock (current President & CEO of the American Hospital Association...and longtime close family friends of the Cunninghams) in the summer of 1971.” --Jeff




Now we know Jeff W., fresh out of the Army, worked the bar in 1971. Earlier than 1970 Walter Schleinitz, Bill Stillgebauer had similar duties. Phil Keane sometime prior to 1970 helped out Wally,

1970 is the year of the unknown bartender.

Was it Eric Breslin?


I am sure each and every one of those tarbenders will certify thar Oliver Hull, George F. Sr, Larry Marcus , Alan Scott and Skinner were all tea toatalers



I remember a bartender/steward from around that time who was also the tennis pro. I don't remember his name but perhaps Jon L or Danny W would. I remember he was a short guy and got along with everybody. He also lived in the Yacht Club which was the custom at the time.



Was there really a bartending head lifeguard that went to college too? You guys did it all back then. George Fontanals


Ann Marcus Golub sez: “Russel & Charlie- Russ taught tennis”


COSMO: I lived at the SYC when I was steward. The Commodore always thought that I would get up at 4 am to drink all the free booze.

Cosmo
\

Phil Keane Jr.: George Sr. was one of my favorite all-time Saltairians and yes, you're right I don't think he ever drank a non-alcoholic beverage in his life Some of those booze-a-thons he had with Larry Marcus, Oliver Hull sr., Allen Scott and others were memorable.
-Phil Keane Jr.

Phil Keane Jr: I tended bar there on weekends helping out one of the head lifeguards, cant remember his name, teacher, blond hair.
Chits only. Before 1970 though.
Mostly keeping George Fontanals supplied with Stingers, and drunk parents telling me what disappointments their kids were. –Phil Keane

Jim McCann:
I ran the yacht club for the summer of 1980......the bartenders that summer were Geoff Meluso, Laurie Mihaly, Teddy Friend, myself....and what a fun summer it was....that was the summer Dr. Bob started in Saltaire
--JimMcCann
Frank Mina: I'll take my money off Greg Kimmel to win and put it on Rich Umbdenstock for 1970. Both Rich and Greg were friends of mine from my earliest FIFI days and both worked at the SYC at one time or another. I knew that Rich's mother (Eileen) and father were very involved as trustees of Good Samaritan Hospital and Southside Hospital respectively.

Nancy Latham talks about...

SALTAIRE DURING WORLD WAR II:

During the summer of 1943 my parents rented what is now the Dunseith's house. Since this was during the war I can remember we had to have black-out shades on all the windows and someone would be by every evening to be sure we had the shades closed. Around sun set we would walk up to Broadway and meet the men guarding the beach (I assume they must have been the Coast Guard). We would take them cookies each time and before they left they made sure everyone was on their way home. It was well known that if they saw anyone on the beach after dark that they would shoot first and ask questions later.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF SALTAIRE SOFTBALL

by Jim O'Hare and Jon Lyon
copyright 2008



"
Saltaire is known for its great softball league in the summer."
---
Wikipedia




For generations, softball has been one of the main sporting attractions in the Village of
Saltaire.

From the 1940’s and 1950s, with great weekend contests with such names as “Marine Walk v. The World,” and “
DEKES v. the World, “ through almost ten years of softball games between Saltaire Teenagers and Ocean Beach Teams, to the creation, in the early 1970s, of the Saltaire Softball League, all the way through 2008 with the expansion of the League to admit the Outsiders and the Rip Tide, softball has been a major sporting attraction for players and spectators alike. Through all these years, the games at Wright Memorial field and grandstands have been center for some of the most long-standing and exciting Saltaire traditions and rivalries.



We have no direct records of softball before the late 1940s. The venue, simply called “The Field” has always been pretty much the same size as today except there was more room north of the right field foul line before the fire house expanded in the 1970's. The Field was enclosed by a chicken wire fence. Until the late 1940s in the early 1950s the outer perimeter of the field consisted of a cinder track, making running in barefoot a painful experience. Gradually the cinder was covered or sank into the sand; it was finally eliminated with landscaping renovations in the 1970’s. There was dense brush where the playground is now until it was cleared and sand was pumped in in 1954. That made for a lot more lost balls because anything fouled off to the left side across Neptune Walk wound up deep in a thicket of poison ivy and blueberry bushes.

Home plate was always in the northeast corner, but a laid out dirt diamond was not introduced until well into the 1970’s .

Before the present day basketball courts were constructed, there were three basketball backboards in the ball field. One was along the right-field line, and there were back-to-back boards in right center field. The portable backstop came some time in the early 1970's, and at some point (we need some help here, pals) the right field fence was raised? While the backstop certainly has saved many a ball from getting lost in never never land it also prevents a catcher's ability to make a sliding catch of those pop-ups. Jon Lyon: "I always loved these opportunities when I was catching. I remember well Mike Kuracheck taking special batting practice to line balls over the lower right field porch."

In the 1940s and 1950s, weekend games were the rule, often pickup games with informal and varying rosters and teams. No running statistics were known to be maintained. Teams informally developed over themes or locale: “Marine Walk v. The World” games pitted players from Marine Walk against all comers. There were some “
DEKES v. World” contests. There must have been a lot of guys from college fraternities in those days to man the “DEKES.” Sometimes such theme games were preceded by parades, with banners and noise makers.


Through the organizational skills of Athletic Director Pete
Kurachek http://saltaire38.blogspot.com/search?q=metaphors in the late 1950’s inter community games were scheduled between teenage teams from Saltaire, Ocean Beach, and Point of Woods. Those Saltaire-OB-POW games developed into series that became the main focus of interest in Saltaire Softball in the 1960s.

This started two new trends:

First: the 1940’s and 1950’s teams had been made up of “grownups,”

http://saltaire38.blogspot.com/search?q=touch and they were
strictly weekend affairs. The 1960’s teams were made up of Saltaire teenagers and they were played during the week while all the “Daddies” were back in the city. The 1960's teams were made up of kids who grew up in Saltaire under the aggressive coaching of Uncle Pete Kurachek, and they they were now teenagers working at summer jobs in the Village as counselors for Uncle Pete, or at the Market, or on the Ferries.

Secondly, those
Saltaire-OB-POW series also started the trend toward regularly scheduled games with regular rosters, which would develop into a formal intramural league by the early 1970's.

These two trends: kids growing up developing their own teams, and organized teams with regularly scheduled games, were the genesis for the need, by the late 1960’s, for an organized league within
Saltaire itself.

Games on continued on an informal basis on weekends of the 1960s, but the main attraction of
Saltaire softball through most of the 1960s were the weekday evening contests between the Saltaire teenagers and lifeguard teams from Ocean Beach, captained by Dana Wallace. Lacking a field of their own, all of the Saltaire-Ocean Beach games were played at Saltaire. Throughout the 1960’s the OB-Saltaire games gains were always intense and competitive. The grandstands would be packed. Additionally, a couple games would be played each summer against Point of Woods, one home and one away. The Point of Woods field was a large open field with no fences. Compared to the confines of the Saltaire Field, the POW outfield seemed like an endless meadow. In the 1960’s Saltaire played several games against powerful Fair Harbor Teams led by Barry Wetherall and Billy Newman.


By the late 1960s, growth of interest in softball pickup games began causing conflicts on weekends, with several informal teams sometimes vying for space in the same field at the same time. Over a period of several years, there was talk of forming a weekend league, if for no other reason than to avoid conflicts over field time. Talks about a league were thrashed about by Dick Starkey, Noel
Feustel, Jim O’Hare and the late Tom Lyon.



In the late 1960's pre-league Sunday evening games did include many "Daddies" who either worked for the Village (Beckel, Braddish) or others who probably took the Monday 6 A.M. Death Boat. We don't know who dubbed the Jon Lyon/Danny Weinlandt Team "Danny's Boys, "and they wer never known by that name, but it has been noted on the historical plaque. This team that played in the Sunday evening games in the late 60's against a team who became the Men. There were really only two teams in the "majors" at that time. "The Men" consisted of the likes of Mel Beckel, Kevin Braddish, Bert Pogrebin, Bruce Simon, Hill Farber, Dick Starkey. Can't remember if big Mike McA and Judge Latham were part of this team, or if they came alive with the Wrecks.

The Men played the Boys who consisted of hurler Danny Weinlandt (hence, I guess Danny's Boys), Jon Lyon Dennis and Phil Keane, Allen Aherne, and at various times any of the three Cunningham boys, John Standard, Johnny Glascock, Paul McGarrity (of Kismet bar fame), and Noel the Feustel. Noel, eventually dubbing the rest of us too serious about winning, started the Z Team, which eventually became the Dogfish. The Boys begat the A Team.

Although news releases for the formation went out in 1971
Get out and playball,The first organized league schedule was in 1973.1973-saltaire-softball-league-schedule

The teams in 1973 were:
The As
The Zs
The Teens
The Oedipus Wrecks
The Men




For the first time, organized scores, standings, and championships were awarded. Since then, the league has constantly grown in competitiveness and size. The league has been in existence so long now that there are many people playing today who were not yet born when the league was formed. Fewer can recall the great names of the 1950’s.
