Welcome to Red Raven Baseball!
With the opening of the 2003 baseball season, The Coffeyville Community College (CCC) Red Ravens
are embarking on a new era. Head Coach Matt Ranson
begins his first CCC season with two main themes in mind: to establish a team concept and to develop a sense of pride in playing for Coffeyville. When establishing a program there are many unanswered questions for both players and coaches. The team and coaching staff are working hard on a daily basis to find the answers to those questions. One fact that is known is the team is anchored by five returning players and the abilities they possess. Keith Ford, Andrew Willis, J.R. Phillips, Scott Chronister,
and Robert Raines all bring valuable experience and leadership to a young Red Raven team. The freshman class brings 22 new faces to the campus and the coaching staff believes they are a group capable of helping the program advance forward. Young men from all over the Midwest have been added to the Red Raven roster as Coffeyville continues to attract quality players from across the country.

PH: 1-703-522-5549 Let's get right to the point. "Walter Johnson: Baseball's Big Train" by Henry W. Thomas may very well be the best baseball biography ever written. I realize that's a pretty strong statement but I've read countless baseball bios over the past three decades, so I feel qualified to comment. The grandson of Walter Johnson, author Thomas was just eight months old when the famous pitcher passed away in 1946. Through scrapbooks that were meticulously maintained, the author provides an exhaustive look at Johnson's baseball career. And thanks to family remembrances and interviews with those who knew the pitcher personally, the reader gets to know of Johnson and his life away from the ballpark. Numerous contemporary accounts of Johnson's hurling heroics should thoroughly convince knowledgeable baseball fans of what they already suspected Walter Johnson was the greatest pitcher of all time. Johnson spent his entire 21-year career (1907-1927) with the Washington Senators, usually playing for hapless teams that finished in or around last place. It was said that Washington was "First in war, first in peace and last in the American League."

Walter "Big Train" Johnson
A Kansas Portrait
One of the first inductees into baseball's Hall of Fame was native Kansan Walter Johnson. Born on an Allen County farm in 1887, Johnson was one of the game's foremost pitchers despite playing on the game's perennially poorest team. Johnson won 416 games, second most in history, on teams of the Washington Senators that were simply awful. He may have been America's foremost sports figure identified with losing teams. He did pitch the woeful Senators to a World Series title in 1924 and throughout his career threw 110 shutouts, the most in history and struck out a then record 3,508 batters mostly with a blazing fastball that became his trademark. He delivered the fastball with the speed of a locomotive, hence the name "Big Train Johnson." His control was phenomenal, most thought because he lived in daily fear of injuring another player with his awesome speed. He always came back to Kansas during his baseball years, and he and his wife lived on a working farm near Coffeyville until her death in 1930. At the time of Johnson's death in 1946, New York City sports columnist (Henry) Grantland Rice wrote: "Baseball may have produced a greater pitcher than Walter Johnson, but I doubt it. One of the all time greats has had the game called by darkness. His successor has yet to show against the horizon."

    Walter Johnson - a Pitcher Essay written by Michael M In the beginning there were players like Ty Cobb who hit .300 for 23 consecutive years, and the 'flying dutchman' Honus Wagner. Pitchers like the 'christian gentleman' Christy Mathewson, and the winningest pitcher in history Cy Young. In the years when the only Yankees were the people in the north and there was an upstart franchise called the American League there was a pitcher, his name was Walter Johnson. Known as the 'big train' because of his high powered fastball which was unequaled in all of baseball Johnson was a poor Kansas farm-hand who became one of the best pitchers baseball has ever been lucky to have ever seen, and he was on one of the worst teams in the history of baseball.
    Walter Johnson was born in 1887 in a small town called Humboldt,Ks. As a teenager his interests turned from working on a farm to baseball; as he soon found out, he had a natural calling for pitching. As he went to high school he became one of the nations best pitchers and it was just a matter of time before he would be drafted for the majors. He was drafted by the Washington Senators in 1907 for $9. His first year wasn't so good but in his second year he earned the name 'the big train' with an amazing won loss record.
    Back when Walter pitched they had no Cy Young awards or league MVP awards but if they had, Walter would have won a dozen of each. On a team with a won loss record of around 60 and 94 Walter usually had half of their wins. He would frequently lead the league in wins, E.R.A., and strikeouts, but even the lackluster of the Senetors had some effect on him. In 1916 he had a miniscule E.R.A. of 1.86 but lost 20 games.
