San Diego’s second baseball stadium
By Keith Antigiovanni
April 28 is the 52nd anniversary of Westgate Park in Mission Valley.
The San Diego Padres of the Pacific Coast League (PCL) moved to Westgate after 22 seasons at their former home, Lane Field at West Broadway and the San Diego Harbor.
Padres ownership sold the franchise to Arnholdt Smith, owner of the U.S. National bonk of San Diego, in 1955. Smith put his own mark on the franchise by moving the team to Mission Valley (5 miles north of downtown San Diego).
Mission Valley at that time was mostly dairy fields but was also an up-and-coming industrial, retail and tourist base. Mission Valley represented San Diego’s post World War 2 expanding population.
In the months before the 1958 season Smith constructed his ballpark, the 8,200 seat Westgate Park at the present day site of Fashion Valley Shopping Center, specifically the northeast corner south of Friars Road and west of State Freeway 163.
Construction was completed in time for the Padres doubleheader against the Phoenix Giants on April 28, 1958. It took a few seasons for the club to get comfortable in the new ballpark but the Westgate years were good times for the Padres and their legion of fans as the franchise won the PCL title in 1962, 1964 and 1967.
The Padres were affiliated with a number of Major League teams in the Westgate Park era which included the Cleveland Indians (1957-1959), Chicago White Sox (1960-1961), Cincinnati Reds (1962-1965) and Philadelphia Phillies (1966-1968).
After the 1967 season San Diego Stadium (Qualcomm) opened three miles east of Westgate. The American Football League’s San Diego Chargers played their first game at the new stadium on August 20, 1967. Meanwhile Smith’s bid for a National League expansion team in 1969 was successful and he moved the PCL Padres to the new stadium for the 1968 season.
The Padres spent their final season in the PCL at San Diego Stadium while the city made plans to replace Westgate with the current Fashion Valley shopping center. Westgate was razed in 1969.

Dallas/Fort Worth Rediscovers its’ Baseball Past
By Keith Antigiovanni
Amid the triumphant and wild celebrations throughout the Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) Metroplex after the Texas Rangers clinched its’ first World Series appearance by defeating the 200 million dollar team (New York Yankees) in the 2010 American League Championship series is the forgotten history of professional baseball in the DFW area.
Contrary to popular belief professional baseball did not begin when the Rangers moved to Arlington before the 1972 season but did begin back in the year 1888 with the formation of the Texas League. At that time both cities (Dallas and Fort Worth) were not even 40 years old and the Civil War had ended only 23 years earlier.
In 1888 Dallas and Fort Worth were established as charter franchises’ of the fledgling Texas League. It was an auspicious start for professional baseball in Texas as the league folded after one year only to reappear in 1895 and with the exception of 3 years during World War II (1943-1945) has been in continuous operation since.
Both clubs established themselves as top teams in the league as Dallas won 10 league championships (1888, 1900, 1903, 1917, 1918, 1926, 1929, 1941, 1946, 1953) while Fort Worth won 13 (1895, 1905, 1906, 1920, 1921, 1922, 1923, 1924, 1925, 1930, 1937, 1939, 1948). The two clubs had also achieved success outside of their league when the Texas League faced the Southern Association in the Dixie Series from 1920 to 1958. The Dixie Series was essentially the World Series of the south and pitted the champions from the Texas area (Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas) against the champions from the top teams in states such as Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia.
Dallas won 3 Dixie Series titles while Fort Worth won the most from either league with 8 and with its’ increasing popularity of professional baseball in Texas both Dallas and Fort Worth were able to get their own ballparks in an era long before the current stadium craze of the 21st century.
Burnett Field in Dallas was built in 1924 and Legrave Field in Fort Worth was built in 1926 in order to accommodate the growing number of baseball fans in the Metroplex. To the people of the DFW Metroplex these ballparks were their own Yankee Stadium, Ebbetts Field or Fenway Park . It is important to note that while the popularity of Major League Baseball was at its’ peak from 1900 to 1960 it was still a regional sport that stretched only from the northeast coast to St Louis in the west which left out every state, city and town west of the Mississippi River, south of the Ohio and Potomac rivers.
During that time the “minor league” clubs were as important to the fans in those areas as the fans in New York, Boston or Chicago felt about their teams at that time. Fans throughout Texas, the southeast, the west, west coast and the plains states felt an ownership or pride for their local club despite them having “minor league” status.
Baseball in these areas began to change in 1960 with the introduction of a third major baseball league, the Continental League. Because major league baseball was still mostly a regional sport despite the Dodgers’ move to the west coast the Continental League announced plans to place franchises in popular minor league markets such as Dallas/Fort Worth, Denver, Atlanta, Buffalo, Houston, Minneapolis and Toronto. Plans were also in the works to add a team in New York to replace the departed Brooklyn Dodgers. Baseball pioneer Branch Rickey was hired to be the president of the league to help lead them to respectability at time when baseball’s popularity was decreasing.
The late Branch Rickey was the man who broke the color barrier in baseball by signing Jackie Robinson to play for the Brooklyn Dodgers. Branch had also founded the current minor league system of affiliating major and minor teams in the early 1920s. His idea helped revolutionize the sport and created the great St. Louis Cardinals dynasties of the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. So it was no surprise to MLB that it was only a matter of time before the Continental League established its niche.
The Continental League believed placing teams in growing post World War II markets starved for major league baseball would be the solution for the 1961 season. Unfortunately for the third league Major League Baseball decided to beat them to the punch by placing expansion franchises in open markets in 1961 and 1962. The idea for a third league passed and major league baseball began to evolve as a national sport.
Meanwhile in the Metroplex, the Dallas and Fort Worth franchises became a combined franchise in 1961 and split their home games between Burnett Field and Legrave Field until 1965 when the city of Arlington (midway between Dallas and Fort Worth) decided to build a 10,000 seat facility named Turnpike Stadium in hopes of attracting an existing major league club or a future expansion team. The DFW Spurs would play there thru the 1971 season until the you know who (Texas Rangers) moved to Arlington in 1972 thus ending “minor league” baseball in the area until 2005 but that’s another story for another day.

Obama Administration:Corruption
When Obama was campaigning in 2007-2008 he consistently used the "C"word= change. Change was Obama's selling point throughout the campaign but too many Americans the word "change" is vague and generic.
After 500 days in office it appears as if Obama has brought his vision of what "change" meant and that is another "C" word- CORRUPTION.
The Obama administration used Chicago-style politics to "coerce" elected officials to vote for "OBAMACARE" without even reading what was in the bill but all that mattered to the elected officials who voted YES on OBAMACARE was what they got out of the deal.
There is also recent news about the Obama administration admitting they tried to offer jobs to Joe Sestak in PA and Abramoff in Colorado to drop out of their Senate race to avoid running against the Obama allied Senators already in place.
Now, there needs to be an investigation into this type of political-business.
Whether you are conservative, liberal, Republican, Democrat, Independent, etc. This type of back-door politics has no place in America and must not be allowed.
However because the media is no longer the watchdog for the American people the American people must take it upon themselves to pressure their elected officials to investigate the Sestak and Abramoff situations.
Contact your elected officials and demand an Investigation until they do their job and Investigate.
The American people will settle for nothing less.

Government takeover of the CIA
Well, folks
While our brave Obama is on "vacation" to clear his empty head his Attorney General Eric Holder is going to re-open the investigation on CIA Interogation techniques of terrorists.
In other words the Obama regime is going to cost the taxpayers more money and reform the interogation techniques on terrorists making it more difficult to protect the USA from a future terrorist attack.
We've had Govt takeover of the banking industry, automotive industry, attempted takeover of the healthcare industry and now a takeover of the CIA.
This is of course is part of the latest and unfortunate trend to be compassionate and humane towards terrorists which includes
1) Scotland releasing the Lockerbie terrorist
2) Obama re-locating the Guantanamo Bay prisoners for no apparent reason other than to appease the terrorists
3) reforming the interogation against terrorists so it much more humane and most likely much more ineffective when it comes to preventing a terrorist attack
We've seen this before in 1995 when the Clinton regime cut the CIA budget continuously while Al Qaeda built its terror networks in the post-cold war era.
Once again, according to the polls, most of the nation is against the Obama regime reforming interogation techniques on terrorists and...
Once again, the Obama regime and the Democrats are ignoring the American people
Remember this the next time or any time a Democrat runs for office because we know what they will do and ignore their false campaign promises.
