slice 'em up and put em in a pitcher of cosmos, for fuck's sake.
ok, so my knee. here's the story. three weeks ago, while sliding into my seat on the morning train, my knee decided it'd rather go back home. and in turning back for the door (without my knowledge, let alone permission), it tore my meniscus. so a week from thursday, i'm going under the knife to have it fixed. granted, it's a teeny tiny knife, and they'll send me and my cane packing the same day, but still. it's the "s" word. and it's happening in a building that starts with an "h."
it sucks, no doubt about it.
but what's even suckier is that i was supposed to go camping that weekend, so's i could finally meet grace*c* and ~btezra~ and some other fabulous flickrpeeps. mutinous fucking knee!
but then i saw this little lemon hiding in the corner of my email inbox. i'm on the mailing list for the paramount theater in peekskill, this fabulously renovated old movie house just twenty minutes away. and i saw that patty griffin, one of my favorite singer/songwriters, was gonna be in town the day after the surgery. so i've convinced myself, hell, if doctorman says i can put weight on my leg the day of the surgery, i sure as shit can hobble with florian, patrick and my motherfuckin' cane to go see this woman stand on a stage and sing her fucking heart out.
yay me. well, poor me. but yay me, too.

I don't know why my print always ends up looking so funny when I use these pens. That's really not how it looks at all. So, a poem.
I believe in ghosts. I believe in
the way light bends around the
marks you left on my skin and around
the edges of the outline of my soul.
I believe that ghosts are the reason
why the first golden leaves of fall
make me shake, why I can't even
look at the pearl earrings without
feeling your fingers brush my hair
away from my ears' new prize and
hearing the sigh you sighed as you
gave me something to cry about
years later in the dark of a foreign
hotel, wondering where the remnants
of people's memories go after death,
where the sound of their voice is
kept and why some people are
completely forgotten, only to creep
back in under the guise of fog,
pulling at the edges of perception
until morning, when the sun brushes
the horizon pink and only the dying
believe in ghosts

The KOM League
Flash Report for week of
April 6 thru 12, 2016
(Please send a note to j03.john@gmail.com or Komleaguebaseball@gmail.com
if you pulled up this site. It is important to the continuance of this project)
In the last paragraph of the previous Flash Report I mentioned that it was probably too boring to be shared and offered a story regarding the late Joe Garagiola to all those who gave me an “F” on that report.
There were at least three and maybe four respondents, if I stretch it a bit, who said “Send the Garagiola story.” So, in order to keep that less than a handful of readers happy, I’m sending the story and links to photos to document it.
In 1995, a few former KOM leaguers gathered at the Columbia, Missouri Public Library to hear a guy speak about something he recalled from his childhood. The people who gathered were, in most part, charter members of the KOM league from the 1946 season. I think I could call out the names of all the attendees but will save you the trouble of reading the list.
One of the fellows attending was Oscar “Pappy” Walterman of Foristell, MO. He had commenced his baseball career in the Northwest Arkansas league at Batesville, Arkansas in 1941 and later that season moved on to Springfield, Missouri as the third string catcher for the Cardinal affiliate there.
At Springfield that year, with Walterman was Stan Musial and Joey Garagiola who served as the clubhouse and batboy for the club and did some batting practice catching. Garagiola was there under an agreement Branch Rickey had with Springfield’s owner to hide the kid from major league scouts.
Although Mickey Owen was with the Brooklyn Dodgers that year he had been back in Springfield on days off when the Dodgers visited St. Louis. On one of those trips home Owen gave young Garagiola a catcher’s mitt. For those of you too young to remember this is what placed Owen in baseball infamy. Watch this video. m.mlb.com/video/topic/6479266/v6780133/bb-moments-41-ws-g...
Late in the 1941 season the Cardinals released Walterman. When he got ready to leave he purchased the Mickey Owen catcher’s mitt from Garagiola.
Shortly after leaving Springfield, Walterman was in the army, serving and playing baseball in India. That isn’t funny to anyone other than a group who showed up in Columbia, MO in 1995. But, I’m ahead of myself. When Walterman showed up for the first gathering of any kind of former KOM leaguers, since the league folded, in 1952, he was carrying an old, battered McGregor Goldsmith catcher’s mitt. He asked to be able to speak. I gave him the microphone and he told his story. He said that in 1941 he was upset to having been released by Springfield and wanted a token by which to remember his time there. He went to Garagiola and said “I’ve give you $1.50 for that mitt.” Garagiola sold it to him and he had it 54-years later at that Columbia event. The catcher’s mitt: See it here: www.flickr.com/photos/60428361@N07/26051074686/
The back side: www.flickr.com/photos/60428361@N07/25474302843
In a complete surprise Walterman turned to me and said that he wanted me to have it for reviving the old KOM league and getting his teammates and old friends together once more. It was a great time meeting some of those old KOM leaguers and it was such a success it was repeated eleven more times in cities throughout the old KOM league.
After that 1995 event concluded I sent my longtime friend, Corky Simpson, who lived in Tucson, a note telling him about Garagiola’s mitt. I did that by design for I knew he was a good friend of Garagiola’s. After he told Garagiola about the mitt he was informed that Walterman only gave him $1.00 for it, not the $1.50 that was claimed. See the documentation of it here: www.flickr.com/photos/60428361@N07/26051039326/
In 1994 I sent Garagiola a newspaper photo of that 1941 Springfield, Mo. Cardinal team and within a few days received a letter from him. See here: The envelope:https://www.flickr.com/photos/60428361@N07/26050986616/i
The letter: www.flickr.com/photos/60428361@N07/26051011716/ Place cursor anywhere over the letter and click it to pull the letter up to readable print.
In short, Walterman and Garagiola are no longer with us but both left behind a great piece of history from the 1941 Western Association season. Corky Simpson lost a great friend in Joe Garagiola and I lost one when Oscar Benjamin “Pappy” Walterman died April, 12, 2006.

Who was John Prozar?
When Yours truly last strayed off on a tangent it was to figure out who John Prozar, Ponca City Dodger hopeful, was and what became of him. One of the readers sent word the guy was John Prozeralik and that he passed away in 2014. The following few paragraphs will clear up the issue. If you care to see what Prozeralik looked like at various stages of his life you can view his images on Google by clicking here:
www.google.com/search?q=John+Prozeralik&safe=active&a... By clicking on each photo in the aforementioned URL it will bring up a very interesting story regarding a fellow who lived an amazingly successful life after walking away from the 1947 Ponca City Dodgers. This is a link to a very interesting article regarding Porzeralik’s way of doing things: www.niagarafallsreporter.com/Stories/2014/AUG19/Prozerali... His dealing with Ponca City is indicative of the way he dealt with issues throughout his business life.. He did things “his way.”
***
I was fascinated by your work on the players in this latest issue that I decided to try and see if I could find anything. How about this obit for John Prozar? I think your guess was right that his name was truncated. He actually settled back in Niagara Falls. Jack Morris--
Baseball Necrologist
Response to Morris
Great job. You win the top news tip of week, probably, even the month. Did you know, before today, that he had gone to Ponca City in 1947?
Morris’s response
No - but then again, I never heard about him before today. But even if I had heard of him, I wouldn't have known that he was in Ponca City in 1947.
And of course, if I had just found the obit and not had read your Flash Report that he probably played under a truncated name I would never have been able to put the obituary with the player.
John Prozeralik--Obituary
John Prozeralik went to be with His Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on August 24, 2014. John was born in Nanticoke, PA on August 17, 1924, the son of the late Metro and Pearl (Kotyk) Prozeralik.
He left school in 8th grade in order to support his mother and nine siblings following the death of his father in a Pennsylvania coal mining accident. In his teens, he was signed by the Brooklyn Dodgers baseball team as a catcher. His baseball career was ended early when WW II started. He enlisted and was wounded in the South Pacific and received a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart. John later moved to Niagara Falls, NY and worked for DuPont as a bricklayer. He also worked in construction.
John received one of the first SBA loans, approved in 1965, to expand his Niagara Falls restaurant, John's Flaming Hearth, a 450-seat facility. Prozeralik, who opened the restaurant in 1952 as Swiezy's Grove Restaurant, needed working capital for the expansion and turned to the SBA. The restaurant became internationally known for its steaks and pumpkin ice cream pie. Several world dignitaries and celebrities frequented the restaurant. "They gave me a loan and the rest is history," he said. "It was a terrific success." Prozeralik was later recognized with a national small business award in the late 1960s.
Prozeralik went on to build several successful businesses in the Niagara Falls area, including Frontier Beef, Compass Leasing, RKR Dial-A-Phone, Hotel Niagara, Quality Inn, Bison Electric, McCabe Electric, five Stuckey Restaurants, John's Flaming Hearth of Lackawanna, SkateHaven Skating Rink of Lackawanna, John's Flaming Hearth of Batavia, United Office Building, Meadow Drive Apartments, Hardings Restaurant, Air Niagara Airlines and Northland Holdings of Florida (Real Estate Management). John left a legacy of being a very successful businessman and a hard worker. However, he will be remembered mostly for his love of family and friends.
John is survived by brothers, Nicholas (Lucille) and Fred (late Elizabeth) Prozeralik; and sisters, Mary (late Peter) Koplun and Eva (late Nicholas) Shalayda. He was predeceased by his brother, Michael (late Stella) Prozeralik; and sisters, Ann (late James) Driscoll, Helen (late George) Murray, Betty (late Walter) Kusk and Pauline (Peter) Slota. He is also survived by several nieces and nephews.
John donated his body to the University of Buffalo Science Department of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. A Memorial Service will be held at the convenience of the family, to be announced at a later date.
The foregoing was the obituary Jack Morris shared. Looking further into the life of John Prozeralik I was surprised to learn that I had seen and visited some of his business establishments, many times, when traveling throughout “these here” United States. Take a look at the following tribute to him and see if you recognize one of his places of business. www.niagara-gazette.com/news/local_news/john-prozeralik-d...
The flame has flickered out on the brilliant, hardworking man who once brought you the famed John's Flaming Hearth. This evening, at about 7:15, John Prozeralik passed away.
While known best locally for his famous steakhouse restaurant, Prozeralik also once owned the former Schraft's Motor Lodge, the Hotel Niagara and the former Parkway Inn. He also owned a tour company, Niagara Airlines, Stuckey's Restaurants throughout the country (Ed note; he once owned over 100 of these franchises), Frontier Beef, the Engine House Restaurant in Batavia, and many other businesses.
Kathy Kaifas, the owner of the Polish Nook, allowed Prozeralik to operate her then-closed restaurant for a while. The very busy Kaifas, an accountant, had busied herself with caring for her aging mother, only opened the establishment for special events. She said, "John came in one day, looked around and began to tell me what he could do with the place. I was skeptical, but when I came back, one day, he had completely transformed the place. I could not believe my eyes. It was beautiful."
Kaifas soon became as a doting daughter to him, encouraging him to take better care of himself. She was at his bedside when he passed.
As Kaifas was as a daughter to Prozeralik, Tony Putaski, who lost his own father many years ago, was as his son, transporting him to his doctor appointments and helping him to maintain his home. Putaski said, "He was the smartest, hardest working guy that I have ever met."
Putaski was very emotional at the loss.
Prozeralik was stricken on his 90th birthday. Maureen Minnicucci said of him that he was the most difficult boss that she ever had, and she quit her employment with him several times over the twenty years that she worked for him. Though he was difficult, it was clear that she loved him, and was very shaken at the news of his demise.
Financier Gary Hodgins of Long Island said of Prozeralik that, "He was the very epitome of hard work." Anyone who knew Prozeralik would agree.
Hodgins also said that, "Here was a man who would entertain heads of state in his kitchen." He said, "I have seen him standing there over the stove in the kitchen talking to congressmen and senators, giving them 'what for'."
John Driscoll, Prozeralik's nephew, ran Frontier Beef for him. Driscoll said of his uncle that he used to tell him and the others some fantastic things about what was to become of the city, "But no one believed him," Driscoll said.
"Today," he continued, "when I look around the city, I have to think that the guy had a crystal ball or something."
I always admired Prozeralik. We both were bricklayers at DuPont for a while, but at different times. But somehow through my columns, he became as much a fan of me. As Hodgins said, he was the epitome of hard work. In one of my visits with him at his hospital bed, he was tasking me to finish one of his projects for him and telling me what to do. He said, "I have confidence in you, Kenny. You can do it."
He was wrong. The world doesn't produce a lot of people like John Prozeralik, and only people like Prozeralik can do what Prozeralik could do.
As a result of Prozeralik's illness and his demise, the Spirit of Niagara Award dinner in his honor was cancelled. But before he passed, on behalf of Councilwoman Kristin Grandinetti, the Niagara Falls City Council and Mayor Paul Dyster, I was able to present to his brother Nick Prozeralik two proclamations celebrating his birthday and his many contributions to the city of Niagara Falls.
As Putaski said, "It was a rough week. I am going to miss him. I am really going to miss him. I miss him already."
We all will, Tony — and we all do.

Former classmate likes the Flash Reports
John, your reports never bore me since I grew up in that same baseball environment (1940's and 1950's) as you did. I listened to Harry Caray broadcast most of the Cardinals games and remember Joe Garagiola when he was their catcher.
I also remember Corky Simpson well as he and I were on the same CHS football team coached by Coach Jack Wallace which won the conference championship in 1955. Corky was a year ahead of me and a senior that year. I think he followed Coach Wallace. (we only had him that one year) out to Wellington, Kansas to a junior college in that area. I never saw him after that. He was a good guy. Have a blessed Easter.
Ed comment:
Yours truly first met Corky Simpson in the 5th grade when he moved to back to Carthage from Madill, OK. He left Carthage, after his sophomore year, to live with his aunt and uncle, in Wellington, Kansas. He had a cousin there by the name of Jim Hooten who went to Ft. Hays State in Hays, Kansas and a few years later came to Carthage and coached at the high school for a while. The first time Hooten ever came to my house, as a young man, we played baseball in my back yard and he hit a long fly ball that caused my mother to have to buy a pane of glass and fix the window, herself. Jack Wallace, who coached at Carthage, was later the head football coach for the Drake University Bulldogs.
Additional note:
Since I have a number of readers who knew Jack Wallace here is a brief bio on him: “Jack Wallace (c. 1925 – February 24, 1995) was an American football player and coach. He served as the head football coach at Drake University from 1965 until 1976, compiling a record of 60–65–3. Wallace was a native of Grants, New Mexico and played college football at Pittsburg State University from 1946 to 1948. He earned a master's degree from Drake and a Ph.D at the University of Iowa. Wallace died on February 23, 1995 in an automobile accident near Corpus Christi, Texas.”
Ed note: The foregoing was an Internet citation which was wrong in some aspects. Wallace was born in Seneca, MO in 1925 and by the time he was 14 his dad moved the family to Grants, New Mexico where he was a finance manager. My guess is when Eagle-Picher moved their mining operation from the Tri-State area to that part of the country, and gave up on lead and zinc in favor of uranium, the Wallace family went west.
Coach Wallace was a brave man and lucky to have lived as long as he did. In 1956, aside from being the football coach at Carthage, he taught drivers education, and was the first person to put me behind the wheel of an automobile. Throughout that experience he never showed any fear.
One of Wallace’s first coaching assignments was at Seneca, MO High School where he served with former Independence Yankee and Miami Eagle KOM leaguer player, Max Buzzard. Buzzard’s first coaching experience, out of college, was at Alba, MO when Lynn and Cletis Boyer were members of his basketball squad. Like everyone else, Buzzard was a graduate of Kansas State Teachers College in Pittsburg, Kansas.

Ernie Wallerstein (Klein) remembers
Dear John: You talked about (Frank) Golob in your last editorial and I remember that I had a piece of baseball newspaper when he pitched for the Duncan team. So I am sending you it and maybe you can enlarge it a little bit more and look at this piece of baseball history. Your friend Ernie. From Cuba before Castro and his Communist buddies took over. He now lives in Lakewood, NJ.
Ed note:
Ernie sent the box score in which he played third base for Ardmore, OK while Frank Golob pitched for Shawnee that day. If you have forgotten, or never read the article, Golob and Ray Krasovic were boyhood friends in Pueblo, Colorado. I felt sorry for Krasovic on Easter Sunday. I noticed in the Pueblo newspaper that all the Easter egg hunting activities in that area had been cancelled due to heavy snow. When a fellow gets to be 90 years old the number of Easter egg hunts, in the future, are not too great by actuarial analysis.

Any ballpark photos?
I was wondering if you might happen to have any early pictures, that you could share, of the Jaycee ball park in Pittsburg. Also, any idea where i could find a copy of your book about the KOM league? Tom Burns
Ed reply:
I have two books about the KOM league---Majoring in The Minors and the KOM League Remembered. The KOM League Remembered is available on line by searching that title. The first book mentioned is a collector’s item and I can't even afford to bid on those found on the Internet.
There aren't any photos of old baseball parks per se from the KOM league era. What I have are guys in their uniforms posing for individual photos just like the ones I shared in recent Flash Reports of Sal Nardello and Jack Chatham. The Pittsburg team photos don't even show any of the grand stand. The best team photo shows them standing in the bucket of a coal shovel. Two things are tougher to find from the KOM league days than locating an honest politician. There were only two or three semi-action photos from KOM history and maybe a half dozen that showed more than half the stadium. People in those days didn't have many cameras and the newspapers didn't have a photographer on staff. A great part of history was lost. The best in stadium photos were taken of Carthage of the scoreboard. The reason for that, it was the only scoreboard in the league that carried the lineups for each team on large slate slabs.
If I have misspoken, and someone has a photo of old Jaycee Park, in Pittsburg, you can be assured you are one of the few.
____________________________________________________________________________
How about nicknames?
I wonder if you have a Top Ten list of favorite KOM League nicknames? Thanks. Bruce May.
Ed reply:
No, I don't. When those guys were starting out they wanted to make a name for themselves and didn't want to detract with a nickname. As it turned out probably 99% should have found one. Pappy Walterman got his nickname for he was the oldest guy on the 1946 Carthage roster. He was 23.
More thought on the subject
When I was the batboy for Carthage I heard guys called some names but they weren’t terms of endearment. Some Carthage players had a nickname for one of their teammates but they didn’t let “Two Ton” hear them say it. (Babcock, did you give him that name?) Other guys got called some pretty unkind names by fans in opposing cities. I recall Carthage fans calling Joe Stanka and George Scherger “Stinky and Sugar.” That wasn’t nice and I’m so sorry for having done so. Carthage’s manager, Don Anderson, was called “Old Folks” by the Pittsburg, Kans. fandom.
All I can cite is what I heard. Miami, Oklahoma’s player/manager, Tommy Warren, was convicted, in 1951, for fraud by deceit and sentenced to the Oklahoma State Penitentiary. He was to start his incarceration at the close of the season, I heard some comments that I would have been afraid to repeat. One Iola pitcher yelled “convict” at him following a game at Miami and quickly experienced what a right hook to the jaw would do to a guy. That pitcher told me later in life he deserved what he got and was sorry for ever calling Warren by that term. And since that Iola pitcher told me to never identify him, I won’t.
However, since I never knew much, and have forgotten most of what I ever knew, I’m opening this up to former KOM leaguers. If you or a teammate had an “endearing” nickname let me know. I don’t want to know their nicknames after they left the KOM such as; “The Commerce Comet” or“ Itchy” Skizas etc.. I’m only interested in the KOM nicknames. I’m going to guess that most of the nicknames that will be shared are those that were never in print, anywhere, and might not be “suitable” for publishing in the next Flash Report. Send in what you have and I’ll do the editing.

Original Caption: From 1923 to 1970, some form of the Equal Rights Amendment was introduced in every session of Congress but was generally held up in committee and so never put to a vote. Representative Martha Griffiths's petition forced the legislation out of committee so that it could be considered by the House, which passed it. The Senate subsequently attempted to add provisions exempting women from the draft, effectively preventing the bill from passing Congress that session.
