Main • Clarinda • 712-542-2103 • FDIC Proud to support the Clarinda A ’ s History of the 1980’s and 1990’s follows the team’s growth 1980 saw the team win their second Jay- hawk League title, winning 30 and losing only nine during league play. During the year the A’s were ranked number one by the NBC and were seeded number two going into the National Tournament where they had a disappointing showing, winning only their first game. They did however, have a great overall season, finishing 53-14. 1981 will always be considered “The Year of the A’s”. That is when the team went to Wichi- ta for the NBC World Series and came home the champions. Going into the tourney with a 39-14 record, the team won seven straight games – over Wellington, KS, Se- quin, TX, Liberal, KS, Kenai, AK, Hutchin- son, KS Fairbanks, AK and a rematch with Liberal in the championship game. In addi- tion to the championship trophy they also brought home many individual honors – Paul Homrig, All American outfielder; Mike Nipper, All American shortstop; Chuck Mathews, All American relief pitch- er and leading pitcher; Keith Mucha, All American third base, leading hitter, tourney MVP, leading home run hitter and most extra base hits; Jack Shupe, most popular player and Merl Eberly, Manager of the Year and the Hap Dumont award. 1982 was a season marked by several key injuries that contributed to the team’s inconsistency. The team did post a fine 42-22 record in spite of the ups and downs. Another state champi- onship was won by the A’s in 1983 and they finished fifth at the Nationals. They finished with a 46-20 record. It also saw major im- provements at the ball park with the installa- tion of new lighting, enlargement of the out- field area and the construction of a new out- field fence complete with advertising. A 10th state championship was won by the A’s in 1984. Their overall record was 44-15, going 2-2 in Wichita. The year marked the beginning of construction on a new conces- sion/club house at the field, with the funding started by the family of Dr. C.E. Nichols. 1985 saw the A’s win the Jayhawk League title for the first time since back-to-back ti- tles in 79 and 80. They felt they had a good year (42-23), blending many newcomers with veterans. The state championship was brought back to Clarinda after losing it in 1984 for the first time since 1972. It also saw them finish 7th at the Nationals and end the season at 37-23. The 1987 A’s had a 43- 23 record and finished in the first division of the Jayhawk League. At the Nationals they advanced to the fifth round of play before being eliminated. Leading pitcher for the staff were Allen Rath and Bob Bretwisch, while Nikco Riesgo and Pat Brady led the hitting attack. Andy Benes, pitcher from Evansville, was the number one pick in the 88 June draft, going to San Diego. 1988 started out on the down side, being below .500 at mid-season, but coming on to finish 44-11. They also did well at the NBC World Series, finishing third. Catcher Matt Laiolo, outfielder Jeff Goodale and pitcher John De- Silva were named to the All-Tournament team. Overall 1989 would have to be termed a success record wise, as they finished sec- ond in the Eastern division of the Jayhawk League. At the NBC World Series the team was out in two games that was a disappoint- ment to all. Injuries were a key factor during the season, but it forced a lot of the younger players into action who would return for an- other year. 1990 was marred by early season and pre-tournament injuries, but the team won 31 of their last 37 games to finish with a 44- 22 record and improved their tourney show- ing to 2-2. Many ups and downs were en- countered during the 91 season and record wise, 44-28 was not on of their best, but in the league sponsored tournament in Amaril- lo, TX. They were 5-2, winning the league portion of the tournament and coming in third overall. The team finished 30-24 in 1992, a year that saw very good balance in the league. The A’s were plagued by in- juries in the middle infield, but saw very strong performances on the mound. 1993 was a year with many injuries, plus a season that saw with long bouts of record rainfall, which combined to make it very frustrating for the players and the coaching staff. The team did come on late in the season and with the help of some veteran players were in the NBC World Series for the first time in two years. 1994 saw the team make a big turn around after taking a leave of absence from Jayhawk League play due to the expanded travel and the expenses that incurred. They finished 47-12 and gaining a seventh place finish at the NBC World Series. Catcher Matt Braugler and pitcher Casey Cunning- ham were named to the All American team. Again, playing an independent schedule in 1995, they posted a 52-12 record and for the second straight year claimed the NBC Re- gional championship. Balance, led by a strong offense, was the key to the team’s success. What was expected to be a veteran led squad turned into just the opposite after the draft, injuries and academic problems depleted the roster. There was great leader- ship from the remaining veterans and the rookies worked hard to get the job done. 1996 saw the formation of a new league – the MINK – with Clarinda joining St. Joseph Saints, Beatrice Bruins, Omaha Indi- ans and Clay County River Bandits in a five team circuit and the A’s winning the first year’s league A’s title. Returning veterans lead the A’s to a 45-12 overall record offen- sively while newcomers headed the pitching stats. Leading the hitting was Griffon Moore at .356, BJ Windhorst at .355 and Ryan Fry at .350. Windhorst and Rod Eberly tied in RBI with 51, followed by Fry’s 36. Nate Frese led the pitching with a 9-0 record fol- lowed by WG Smith at 7-2. Smith led in in- nings pitched with 67.2; Frese, 60 and Brian Mazone, 48. ERA leaders were Eric Massey at 2.25, Frese, 2.55 and Travis Wessel’s 2.68. Byron Embry was the save leader with six, followed by Casey Castrop’s five. Starting slowly in 1997 the A’s gained mo- mentum to end with a season record of 31- 20, going 2-2 at the NBC. Leading the team offensively were catcher Calvin Tanton at .375, followed by infielder Griffin Moore at .359. For the second year in a row infielder Rod Eberly led in RBI with 60. Danny Hughes led the pitching staff at 6-3 and Travis Wessel who came off a spring injury to do well down the stretch. Clarinda was a late invitee to the NBC World Series in 1998, and took advantage as they went on to a 4-2 tourney showing for a fourth place fin- ish. Mike Terry was named to the All Amer- ican Team as well as being selected as the leading pitcher at the tournament. The over- all season saw the team finish 37-27 with Philip Ghutzman’s .365 leading the hitters, followed by Gavin Wright, .352; Kevin Perkins, .337 and Jamie Bubela, .329. Bubela had 33 RBI, followed by Rod Eber- ly with 32 and Perkinjs with 29. On the mound Rich Fimbres was 8-1 with a 3.49, followed by Brian Downing at 5-2 and 1.48 ERA. Terry, who joined the team late was 4- 1 with a 0.66 ERA. 1999 was not a particu- larly stellar year for the A’s as they finished with a 30-31 record. Though the hitting had six starters who batted over .300, led by Will Smith at .367, then Hunter Brown, .342 and Ryan Stowasser’s.333, they just couldn’t seem to hit with men on. The pitchers were led by James Carroll with a 5-2 season and Jason Walker and Ian Ferguson each at 4-3. Will continue with the 2000’s in the next Dugout News. Saturday, May 26 the A’s will open their season with a game versus the Kansas City Mon- archs. Ozark Generals will come in for a three game non- league series with a doubleheader sched- uled for Sunday at 6:00 and a single 1:00 game on Memorial Day. This will mark the 10th year Ryan Eberly will manage the team. He will be joined by Rod Eberly, assistant coach at Highland Community College, and Craig Hindman will return from Cali- fornia for his third year with the team. Eberly looks for the MINK League to again be balanced and be very competitive. Other members of the league are Chillicothe (MO) Mudcats, Joplin (MO) Outlaws, Nevada (MO) Griffons, Omaha (NE) Diamond Spirit, Ozark (MO) Generals, St. Joseph (MO) Mustangs and the Sedalia (MO) Bombers. Omaha Strike Zone will again be on the non-league schedule, with three new teams, Kansas City Monarch, Rossville (KS) Rat- tlers and Little Rock (AR) to round out the schedule. “I feel the recruiting has gone well this year,” stated Eberly, “and we have five returning veterans to provide leadership for the newcomers.” Veterans from last season include catcher Austin Ascherl, first baseman Ryan Biloveski, outfielders D’Marco Poindexter and Javis Smith, as well as pitcher Justin Page. “Appreciate all the hard work and community support that has gone into putting a team on the field this year and now it’s time to PLAY BALL, “ said Manager Eberly, “hope you will get out to cheer for the “boys of summer” and enjoy the friendly atmos- phere at Municipal Stadium-Eberly Field with your friends and family.” From the President’s Desk As we enter our 58th sea- son of Clarinda A’s base- ball, we as an organization are grateful for all involved – those who have helped keep the program going and become a source of pride for Clarinda, Iowa. It has taken a lot of people and a lot of work to keep the passion for A’s baseball alive. Since 1954 it has taken many – players, coaches, board and auxiliary mem- bers, concession and press box workers, the city of Clarinda and YOU the fans to keep the team on the field. Thanks to all. This year’s schedule has 32 home games, so come out and see exciting baseball and talented young athletes play for the A’s. Hope to see you at Clarinda Municipal Stadi- um – Eberly Field for another summer of A’s baseball. 1981 National Champs celebrate.
