The Monterey American League All-Stars defeated the National League team 3-games-to-1 in a best-of-five tournament at Monterey Little League Park in July of 1964. Game scores were 13-2, 7-0, 3-4, and 8-3. (Newspaper articles from the all-star games are in the "Clippings" section of this site.)

The "still" photos shown on the Little League team photo yearbook page were "extracted" from a recently-converted "Super 8" film of the Monterey Little League All-Star Tournament. The YouTube video is below also.

Special thanks to Mark Smith for providing the film and arranging for the conversion to DVD. And thanks also to Mark's parents Mr. & Mrs. Wilson Smith for making the great effort in doing the filming quite a long time ago!

Note that there was very limited all-star footage to begin with - a total of about 4 minutes! In the extracted "still" photos, we made every effort to show all members of our American League team who appear in the footage. And many National League players are still unidentified; please email me if you can provide any names. ~DM

Also, the song "Curve Ball" is written and performed by Robert Stanton, a member of our American League All-Star team and 1964 American League Home Run Champ.

"Curve Ball"   
A Song Written & Performed by Robert Stanton

Life can change in the blink of an eye
It can wipe you out
You’re never sure you can take it
Until you start to see a way out
Sometimes you gotta scream
You’ve gotta scream and shout

Cause when life throws you a curve ball
It takes you by surprise
You gotta swing for the home run
Cause you never know until you try
Sometimes it’s a hit
Sometimes it’s a strike

You think you’ve got all the answers
You’ve got it all figured out
Just when you least expect it
You find yourself down for the count
You can’t believe
How hard you hit the ground

Cause when life throws you a curve ball
It takes you by surprise

You gotta swing with all of your might
To smash your fears down to size  
You do what it takes
For you to survive

SOLO

Cause when life throws you a curve ball
It takes you by surprise
You gotta swing from deep down inside
Step up to the plate, take it in stride
Trust your heart
And open it wide

When life throws you a curve ball
It all becomes such a blur
When life throws you a curve ball
You feel it rattle your nerves
When life throws you
When life throws you a curve
When life throws you a curve
When life throws you a curve
When life throws you a curve ball

Second place finishing team Williams (which won the second half of season only to lose in finals to first half winner Schulkens) had a year end RF/RA ratio of 111/80 = 1.38. This was second to Schulkens 3.16 By the end of the season Herald was 7-7 and finished in a tie for 4th place and our "RF / RA" ratio was 130/103, or 1.26 which was 3rd overall.

Chris Stanley hit a home run in the last inning to cap a six run rally for Williams.
(from Monterey Herald. June, 1964)
*Editor's note: For the record: I actually remember this game - particularly because an old friend, Mark Bibler, was on Rotary and he remembers the game and has painfully reminded me of it! ... I think I still have recurrent PTSD from the experience! ...
ALL four runs scored by Rotary in that last inning were unearned, caused by a series of errors by two Herald infielders who shall remain nameless! I don't think Rotary got a single hit in that final inning! 
Note that the article doesn't name a "hero" on Rotary who drove in the "winning run" ... because that person doesn't exist! Rotary won by a series of fumbling and bumbling by a couple of my hapless Herald teammates.
But seriously, it's all water under the bridge many many years ago... I'm not bitter... I've gotten over it... I'm fine now... seriously ... just fine... just fine...

Tribute To Coach Larry Cummins
(from Legacy.com)

by Derek Morris


I got to know Coach Cummins when I was about 10-11 years old and very active in Little League in the early 1960's. I lived close to Monterey Peninsula College, and one day I was riding my bike on campus and was watching the MPC Lobos baseball team practice and got an idea. The next day I showed up at practice with my mitt and cleats and went up to Coach Cummins and asked if I could help out in any way. Pretty soon Coach Cummins had me working - feeding him baseballs that he would blast out to the outfielders using a fungo bat in an outfield drill. I'd receive the outfielders' direct throws and collect the baseballs and keep feeding them to Coach Cummins so he could keep that fungo drill moving. And Coach Cummins hit those shots high and deep! He had great control over that long and narrow fungo bat, which some have likened to a combination of baseball bat and broomstick. At that point I had never even seen a fungo bat before. I helped out in a similar fashion in some various other drills, including infield practice. I got to help out at a lot of practices during the 1962 season in particular.

I was as a "batboy" in only maybe two or three team games. I really didn't have much interest in being a batboy and preferred the practices to actual games because at practices I would actually get to catch and throw the ball with other players on the MPC team! Schlepping bats around for others did not seem that appealing! Also, as I recall, my school schedule somehow did not fit with the MPC team home game schedule anyway. But when I showed up at practices later in the afternoon, which I did quite frequently during the 1962 season, Coach Cummins always had something for me to do. And I also remember being treated great by the MPC players themselves; they were a fun, upbeat group of people and treated me, a 10-year-old kid, quite well. I'm sure their standards of behavior were set from the top down; I've learned that Coach Cummins ran a tight ship and encouraged mutual support among the team members and didn't put up with any players with "attitudes." Players with attitudes were reportedly soon gone. When they saw that I was good at catching their throws and catching the occasional fungo pop fly that came my way, they were very encouraging, joking around to Coach Cummins with comments like "hey Coach, sign this kid up," or "get this kid on the team" etc. That kind of stuff. It was a great experience as a 10-year-old kid for me to get to "practice" with a bunch of college baseball players and get positive feedback from them.

Last time I ran into Coach Cummins was in around 1990 when I was in town visiting and was running on the track at MPC. I popped in to use the weight room and saw him and re-introduced myself and we had a nice chat.

In summary, Larry Cummins was simply a very high quality human being and a great adult role model and great coach. My condolences to the Cummins family. ~ Derek Morris

-----------

I recently learned a little bit more about how Larry Cummins came to MPC. This story is from John Jorgenson who grew up in Gustine, CA (a small town near Merced in the Central Valley) and who himself was a coach and college basketball referee for many years. Larry Cummins started his coaching career as a teacher, basketball and baseball coach at Gustine High School. His Gustine team was invited to the Carmel Invitational Basketball Tournament every year, and through the tournament he got to know some local basketball people and started to get noticed by the athletic department at MPC. He was encouraged to apply for the head basketball coach position at MPC that was opening up and he got it. He stayed at MPC until retirement in 1992. Though he was head basketball coach throughout his career at MPC, he resigned his baseball coaching duties in the mid 60's to more focus on basketball, handing over head baseball coaching duties to the newly hired Chris Pappas.

For Luck

Derek Morris, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Morris of Monterey, enters his name in a prize drawing at the Baseball Breakfast at Monterey County Fairgrounds. Looking on is Louis Goldstein, ticket chairman for the event. Prizes included baseballs, bats, bowling passes and passes to the San Francisco Giants games.

(Editor's Note: Louis "Goldie" Goldstein was a renowned local civic leader and was a key contributor to the development of the excellent range of youth baseball programs that exisited in Monterey when we were kids. Goldstein was the first president of the Monterey Little League in the 50's and in fact was the key person responsible for bringing a local Little League program to Monterey.

In Little
League Game

by Don Davison

​Joe Garnero belted two home runs - one a grand slam - last night to pace Schulken's to an 18-6 win over The Herald.
The latest American Little League statistics show Garnero has had seven homers in the last nine games.
Chris Dyroff also homered for the winners. Derek Morris went two - for - two and Harry Van Houtte homered for Shulken's. One of Morris' hits was a triple.
In the Little League Ball Park, Phinney's 707 upset Rotary 15-14. Mel Wasson homered for Phinney as Ken Miller pitched the win.
Scott Harris and Tim Millington of Rotary both went three -for-four.
In other league action, Rotary Club took advantage of 15 walks

(Comment: We won the Monterey County 13-Year-Old All-Star championship (single elimination) at the Veterans' Memorial Park Ballfields in Hollister by beating Fort Ord, Hollister, and then Salinas Valley in the finals. We then lost in the regional finals to Arroyo Grande, winner of the San Luis Obispo County championship tournament that was held the prior week in San Luis Obispo. Arroyo Grande then went on to compete in the California State Championships in Hayward. Don't know how they did in that tournament!) ​

MONTEREY HERALD SPORTS EDITOR


So you're a boys baseball league "has been" at age 13.
Well, never fear, the first annual Babe Ruth All-Star Tournament for boys 13 years of age got under way yesterday at Hollister with Tri-City (Monterey - Carmel - Pacific Grove), Seaside, Marina, and Fort Ord entrants.
The four Monterey Peninsula teams do battle with Hollister, Salinas, and the champion of the San Luis Obispo area. Winner of the District Three Tournament moves on immediately to Hayward for the double elimination state tournament next week.
"In the past, these 13-year-old boys were overlooked when selection of all-star teams was conducted," Larry Morris of the Monterey Peninsula Babe Ruth League explained today. "The feeling of the National headquarters in New Jersey was that these boys should be afforded the opportunity to participate in tournament competition - hence the first 13-year-old tournament this year."
Tri-City drew a bye yesterday, but was scheduled to play Fort Ord this evening at 5 p.m. George Soares of Moose Lodge is serving as managers of the newly-formed Tri-City team. His coaches are H.M. Harris of the Kiwanis Club and Duke Quinones of the Central Labor Council. The 15-player Tri-City squad includes Curtis Monar, John Pira, and Sal Rombi of the Kiwanis Pirates, Terry Nance, Tom Russo, and John Casas of the Pacific Grove Cardinals, Eddie Cunningham and Clark Rabano of the Central Labor Council Yanks, John Napoli and Joe Solis of the Baldwin Piano Indians, Danny Dent and Terry Mason of the Moose Lodge, Derek Morris of the Monterey Red Sox, David Diaz of Montemar Tigers and Rusty Vandervort of the Carmel Merchants.
Who says "13" is an unlucky number.
