MISSION LIFE TIPS GOLF ... CHRIST SALVATION LIFE TIPS WHAT TO ASK FOR TEST TEST TEST This is from Roy Campanella, and I felt compelled to share it with you. Roy Campanella was a tremendous baseball player for the Brooklyn Dodgers. Roy joined the Dodgers in 1948. While with the Dodgers he won National League pennants in 1949, 1952, 1953, 1955, 1956 and the World Series in 1955. He was voted Most Valuable Player 1951,1953,1955 and elected into the Hall of Fame in 1969. Roy Campanella was truly a great player. In 1958, Roy's baseball career ended when an automobile accident left him paralyzed from the neck down. After his accident, he wrote this. I asked God for strength that I might achieve great things I was made weak, that I might learn to humbly obey... I asked for health, that I might do great things. I was given infirmity, that I might do better things... I asked for riches, that I might be happy. I was given poverty, that I might be wise... I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men. I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God...

Guest Editorial A Tribute to Roy Campanella By Emily Monroy One of the more famous figures of American sports history is Roy Campanella. "Campy," as he was known, served as catcher for the Brooklyn Dodgers from 1948 to 1957. He also boasted a good batting average. But his spectacular career as a baseball player was cut short in 1958 when a car accident left him permanently paralyzed. However, Campanella later returned to the Dodgers who had since relocated to Los Angeles as a coach. A picture of him taken in 1980 shows him seated in a wheelchair instructing the team's rookie catchers. Roy Campanella died in 1993 at the age of seventy-one. During his lifetime Roy Campanella wore many hats: as a ballplayer, a liquor store owner, a coach, and a disabled person who succeeded despite the odds against him. My interest in Campanella, however, lies in another aspect of the man: his biracial heritage and specifically his Italian ancestry. While Campanella's mother was "black," his father, a fruit vendor in Philadelphia, hailed from Sicily, an island off the south of Italy. I remember when I saw a picture of Roy Campanella my first thought was "He looks so Italian!" He had tightly curled hair and dark skin, but his facial features were, in my opinion, very Italian. He would not have looked out of place in Palermo or Rome. Before I go on, I want to dispel any suspicion that I am trying to "steal" Roy Campanella from the "black" community the way some white supremacists have sought to explain Martin Luther King's genius by referring to his partial Caucasian ancestry (one such supremacist called King an "intelligent mulatto," implying that if the civil rights leader had been of unmixed African origin, he would not have been the brilliant man he was). Campanella was first and foremost

Return to SFowler Home Page Roy Campanella By Dr. Dick Wieder Baseball is one of the great contributions of the American culture, to the joy of living. It is truly an American invention. It exemplifies the heart of the American dream; team effort conquers all and the team is the effort of each individual in concert with the others. In the end, the individual is supreme. This concept built this nation. Baseball is one evidence that the dream works. Watching a baseball game proves we love this dream and believe in it. It refreshes us. It reaffirms our faith in the system. Individual athletes become larger than life. They are role models for the young. We pretended to be our favorite, in those sandlot games of our youth. Yet, many criticize the young for considering "jocks" as heroes. After all, a child should emulate his father, or a great educator, or a scientist. Who are these tobacco-chewing, muscle-bound, stupid jocks to presume that they could provide a positive influence on the young of this country. In my youth, Roy Campanella was my hero. There were others on his team whom I liked, Duke Snider, Gil Hedges, Pee Wee Reese, Jackie Robinson, Carl Furillo, Preacher Roe, Clem Labine, Joe Black, and Jr. Gilliam, all the old Brooklyn Dodgers. But Roy Campanella stood above them all.

Roy Campanella Baseball's all-time record crowd wasn't attracted by a red-hot playoff or a World Series game. Instead, 93,103 fans filled the Los Angeles Coliseum on May 7, 1959, to honor Roy Campanella, whose baseball career had ended the previous year when the car he was driving skidded into a telephone pole, leaving him paralyzed. A decade after that unique tribute, Campanella received baseball's ultimate honor and was inducted into the Hall of Fame despite a major league career that had lasted a mere ten years. Then again, Campy was named MVP in three of the nine full seasons in which he played; 1951, 1953, and 1955 to rank with Stan Musial and Mike Schmidt as the only three-time MVPs in the National League. An outstanding handler of pitchers, Campanella caught three no-hitters, led the league in putouts six times, caught 100 or more games a year his last nine years in the majors, and nailed two of every three runners that tried to steal on him. Although his batting average oscillated wildly (.312 to .207 to .318 to .219 between 1953 and 1956), he was more consistent at the power game, averaging 27 homers between 1949 and 1956. He joined the Negro NL's Baltimore Elite Giants right out of high school and eventually made $3,000 a month as a full-fledged star, being named to All-Star teams in 1941, 1944, and 1945. After that season he became Brooklyn's second black signee, taking $185 a month to play with Nashua in the New England League; by 1949 he was the Dodgers' regular catcher.
