tHE pIG pEN POPS WAS A HOG! Let us know what you think about this and other topics Hogs at The Shrine By: CyberHog For those of you have read HWTH over the years, you pretty much know me as the guy who wears his allegiance to the Cubs on his sleeve (and my head, and just about anywhere else). A lot of people have suggested that people like me, who blindly follow this long time losing franchise, are the reason the team has had nearly 100 years of futility in their quest for a World Series Championship. The reason? Fans like us continue to show up in droves to support the team, which in turn gives ownership no incentive to put a quality product on the field. I pretty much beg to differ. Look what's happened on the South Side of town. Their "fair weather" fans support the team only when they are winning (and even then it doesn't compare to the support the Cubbies get), yet THEIR record for futility is almost as bad as us! As a Cub fan, I also get stereotyped as someone who just wants to be seen at Wrigley Field, or someone who just wants to join the town's biggest party everyday. Let me assure you my friends that I'm a baseball fan through and through and that's why I go to the games. Of course it would do my heart a world of good (as well as my pride) if the Cubs would just start producing some young talent from their farm system so that we can be assured of long term future success down the road.

    Thank Heaven For Willie Stargell
    By Larry Crino
    Another piece of my childhood was lost yesterday. It was a significant piece. Willie Stargell died. One of The Game’s grandest players and most endearing gentlemen passed away in the early morning hours of April 9, Pittsburgh’s Opening Day. His death came a day and a half after a magnificent life-size bronze statue of his likeness was unveiled outside the left field entrance to the Pirates’ brand new ballpark. Plans for a special ceremony honoring the beloved slugger were scotched, because the ailing great couldn’t attend. The last image most of us have of Wilver Dornel Stargell was of him strolling unsteadily out to home plate at the ceremony the Pirates held honoring the last game ever played at Three Rivers Stadium. His once-strapping body ravaged by kidney disease, the Stargell we saw that night was merely a shell of his former self. The yellow gold No. 8 uniform he filled so robustly during the season of his greatest triumph—the 1979 World Series—hung on his frame as if a child was wearing it. In an interview that was taped that day, his once-booming baritone was reduced to a muffled whisper. Only his disarming smile and profound wisdom were intact.

    Stargell Emotional At Announcement
    "He was my hero. He's the reason I wore No. 8," fellow baseball Hall of Famer and television commentator Joe Morgan told a packed congregation at St. Paul's Episcopal Church. Stargell, the slugger who led the Pittsburgh Pirates to two World Series victories with home runs and classy calm, died Monday at age 61. He had suffered with a kidney disorder for several years. Stargell's wife, Margaret, and his children from a previous marriage mingled in the 400-seat church with major league home run king Hank Aaron, former Pirates teammate Al Oliver, Pirates owner Kevin McClatchy and Dale Petroskey, president of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, N.Y.

    Abbott organizes baseball clinic in Oxford
    Former Jacksonville State University baseball coach Rudy Abbott will be heading up the Joe Campbell Clinic in Oxford Sunday beginning at noon and running until 5 p.m., and this year’s renewal of the popular baseball bonanza will feature one of our local favorites. Willie Smith, who came off the playground fields of Anniston to reach the major leagues with several different teams, will be one of the instructors that Abbott will have on hand. The clinic will be at the Oxford Civic Center with registration forms available at area schools. The registration fee is $30 per player or $50 for two brothers and $70 for three. For more information on the clinic, call 435-1323. Smith will join Abbott, Alabama head baseball coach Jim Wells, and many others who will instruct the youngsters on the finer points of the game. Prior to the clinic, Abbott will present longtime Pell City volunteer coach Gary Richey, Etowah High coach Larry Foster, and Snead State coach Gerry Ledbetter with the Jim Brooks Award, recognizing their long service to youth and baseball.

    Hall of Fame All-Star Game ... Draft DESTINATIONS Minor Leagues Pirates slugger Stargell dead at 61 April 9, 2001 SportsLine.com wire reports PITTSBURGH The Family has lost its patriarch. Hall of Famer Willie Stargell, who led the Pirates to two World Series victories with his tape-measure homers, died of a stroke Monday at age 61. He had been in failing health for several years with a kidney disorder, according to officials at New Hanover Regional Medical Center in Wilmington, N.C., where he died. Willie Stargell hit 475 homers in his 20-year career. (AP) The Pirates opened their new ballpark Saturday and unveiled a 12-foot bronze statue of the man known as "Pops." They postponed a formal ceremony dedicating the statue because Stargell could not attend. "Now, every opening day at PNC Park, everybody will know this is Willie Stargell's day," said Chuck Tanner, Stargell's manager from 1977-82. "He's up there, and he knows the Pirates are opening today." One of the greatest home run hitters ever, in volume and in distance, Stargell hit 475 homers many of them soaring, majestic shots that rattled a pitcher's confidence. With Stargell batting cleanup for most of his 20-year career, the Pirates won World Series championships and NL pennants in 1971 and 1979 and six NL East titles from 1970-79. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1988.

    from the Baseball Hall of Fame By ALAN ROBINSON PITTSBURGH (AP) The Family has lost its patriarch. Hall of Famer Willie Stargell, who led the Pirates to two World Series victories with his tape-measure homers, died of a stroke Monday at age 61. He had been in failing health for several years with a kidney disorder, according to officials at New Hanover Regional Medical Center in Wilmington, N.C. The Pirates unveiled a 12-foot bronze statue of the man known as ``Pops'' on Saturday at PNC Park, where they played their first game Monday only hours after Stargell died. ``Now, every opening day at PNC Park, everybody will know this is Willie Stargell's day,'' said Chuck Tanner, Stargell's manager from 1977-82. ``He's up there, and he knows the Pirates are opening today.'' One of the greatest home run hitters ever, in volume and in distance, Stargell hit 475 homers many of them soaring, majestic shots that rattled a pitcher's confidence. With Stargell batting cleanup for most of his 20-year career, the Pirates won World Series championships and NL pennants in 1971 and 1979 and six NL East titles from 1970-79. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1988. Stargell was a dynamic leader on the field and a fatherly yet forceful presence off it. The 1979 Pirates were nicknamed ``the Family'' from the Sister Sledge song, ``We Are Family,'' and Stargell said years later that it wasn't a misnomer.

    Stargell was a star among men
    By Joe Morgan
    Special to ESPN.com Speaking at Willie Stargell's memorial service on Saturday in Wilmington, N.C., was one of the most difficult things I have ever done. It's not often when your hero is also your friend, but he was both to me. Everyone knows how great a baseball player he was. But he was actually a better person than he was a baseball player. Willie personified the words "gentle giant." His personality and his everyday life earned respect from anyone he ever met. 'Pops' had power Mark McGwire is now the Paul Bunyan of baseball. But Willie Stargell was Paul Bunyan before McGwire. He hit two balls out of Dodger Stadium, an unbelievable feat. He hit them over the roof, not just on the roof, at Dodger Stadium in right field. But even those home runs pale in comparison to one of the four upper-deck home runs he hit at Three Rivers Stadium. The seat where the ball landed was marked; when you stood at home plate, you couldn't even see the sign. When you stood in right field where where you could see the sign, you almost had to look straight up. I couldn't imagine ever seeing a ball hit that far.
