More from my extended back yard (the Eastern Sierra) last May. While California continues to cry drought and dry up, it would appear my trip was rich in water presence. Night sky over ponds, melting ice in a high Sierra lake, wonderful clouds over Mono Lake. Even my beloved wild horses had water. I have been able to visit these wonderful creatures a few times over the last several years, but this was the first year water came into the picture. This time, the water seemed to be a barrier between me and them, and I thought I was looking at a shutout. I stuck with it, threaded a sometimes muddy route closer to them, and was graciously rewarded.
With lockdown in place it is against the rules for me to go to places I like to shoot, so I though I would try to create a series called Isolated creativity. The series is not intended to be a diary but a way of documenting thoughts and emotions via photography.
At points during this crisis I have found it both difficult and depressing to deal with the constant stream of often horrendous news and have therefore tried to limit myself to listening to the news just once a day.
My thanks go to my wonderful and patient model.
Thomas was just too good, and the Bruins are the NHL's best.
The Cup is headed back to the Hub of Hockey.
The Bruins are the first team in NHL history to win a Game 7 three times in the same postseason, and Thomas posted shutouts in the decisive game of the Eastern Conference finals and the Stanley Cup finals. The Bruins' postgame celebration centered around Thomas, who carried them through long stretches of a perilous postseason that began with two home losses to Montreal.

We lucked out again with the showing of Mt. Rainier on this early morning. We came out here the previous evening for sunset only to be shutout with a thick layer of cloud. We went back to the Paradise Lodge to sleep for the night and upon waking up, the clouds were as thick as it was the night before. Paradise would basically be centered on this picture sitting in the middle of the cloud layer. In fact we almost slept in this morning but decided to give it a try again. Luckily, after driving to the trailhead and hiking halfway up the trail, we emerged from the fog with a clear view of the mountain top. After hiking a little further up the trail, we settled here to enjoy the sunrise.

Well, tonight is it. Game 7 of the Pens - Lightning series. Who better to feature that Max Talbot, part of the heart and soul of the team. Talbot scored the only two Penguin goals in Game 7 of the 2009 Stanley Cup Finals en route to a Pens victory. It's going to be a great game tonight, and I've got a good feeling about the outcome!
I took this one a few months back in warmups with Max looking right down my lens! You can see the reflection of the person standing beihnd me across his face, but other than that, I like the shot! You can even see the gum sticking out of his mouth!
LET'S GO PENS!!!

Made for the 6th and last day of VignWeek (A RebelLUG hosted contest.) The category was 'Starwars plus another theme'.
I like to think this happened to Vader after the first death star blew up. Uninvited and hungry.
Also shutout to Full Plate, his trees helped inspire these ones. I couldn't for the life of me remember how to leaf weave at 2AM xD

Dodgers legendary pitcher Fernando Valenzuela has died today at age 63.
Fernando Valenzuela Jersey number 34 at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library.
In 1981 at the age of 18, Valenzuela joined the Dodgers. He had five shutouts in his first eight games. Deemed unstoppable, "Fernandomania" took hold of Dodger fans. He was named Rookie of the year in 1981. He also won the Cy Young Award making him the only player in history to win both awards in one season.
Caroline and I braved the elements yesterday so we coud catch some of that sweet light which can last for hours here during the winter months.......well we were not shutout....over the next several days I'm sure we'll both be posting shot from this little incursion into Lamont County
Early sunlight finally pierces the bottom of the canyon, and right on time, a westbound stack train winds through Rainbow Canyon. Maybe it's a Nevada thing, but after getting shutout a couple weekends in a row on the LA&SL, I reluctantly dragged myself out for another go...and everything clicked into place!
A departure from norm of what I’ve been posting, but there was a special celebration in New Jersey. Today March 8th, 2014 at the “Rock” otherwise known as the Prudential Center in Downtown Newark, the New Jersey Devils Franchise celebrated the twentieth anniversary of their first Stanley Cup in 1995 when they were still playing what at that time was called the Brendan Byrne Arena in the New Jersey Meadowlands Sports Complex by holding a ceremony prior to tonight’s game that I unfortunately could not get tickets to. They brought back much of that team including the victorious coach Jacques Lemaire and most of the players & heroes including recently retired goaltender Martin Broudeur, number 30 and the ‘captain’ Scott Stevens number 4. To commemorate that special memory, I’m posting this last image of Marty Broudeur that I took at the Prudential Center in March of 2012 at a game I went with son to where the Devils beat the visiting Philadelphia Flyers the last season that they made a Stanley Cup run losing to the Los Angeles Kings.
Martin Pierre Broudeur who will surely find his way to the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto Canada, is the National Hockey League all time leader in wins (691), losses (397), shutouts(125) and games played(1266) and led the New Jersey Devils Club to 3 Stanley Cups in 5 Stanley Cup Finals appearances, 2 Olympic Golds for Team Canada. Congrats to all those players who brought New Jersey it first title against the Detroit Redwings and now that the Nets are in Brooklyn, New Jersey’s only team.

NJ Devils Happy 20th for 1995 Cup!
It's been a few days since I've posted anything so today is a make up day and i'm loading up, here's another: the tote board at Colonie shows a Sterzing, I mean sterling, safety record, pitching a shutout in June of 1980.
. . . I was pleasantly surprised today to find a Killdeer out in the fields yet! I suppose there are still bugs out here to find as a food source since we have had little snow.
I was searching for a much bigger white bird to tell the truth, and didn't find any, so this little guy prevented a shutout! It was difficult to focus on the Killdeer though, with so much of the tiny vegetation in the field!
Have a great Thanksgiving week Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!
Actualment la dona sahrauí utilitza diversos productes per embellir; el maquillatge, la henna, els perfums, però la major part de l'atenció femenina està dedicada a la cura de la seva pell. Les mascaretes per hidratar, però sobretot per aclarir, per blanquejar la pell constitueixen un dels signes que cal interpretar per entendre la concepció de la bellesa femenina que tenen les dones sahrauí.

The Fatumata shutout.
Currently Sahrawi women use several products to beautify; makeup, henna, perfume, but most of the female attention is devoted to the care of your skin. Masks to hydrate, but above all to clarify, skin whitening is one of the signs that should be interpreted to understand the concept of female beauty have Saharawi women.

EPCOT Future World
Mission Space Pavilion
This may look familiar, but is a slightly different composition than the last one I posted several months ago. That sky is just too beautiful to not post, even if it is a very similar shot.
I had a great time shooting EPCOT with Don Sullivan this particular night last August. The plan was for Don and I to join Cory Disbrow at the Magic Kingdom for extra magic hours after we shot Illuminations at EPCOT first. Hoping to do some sunset shooting before Illuminations over by the Imagination Pavilion, the sun was masked by grey skies all around us. Accepting a sunset shoot shutout, we gave up and decided to wander over toward Mission Space. Just as we arrived at that Pavilion a few minutes later, the sun broke through the clouds behind us just as it started to dip below the horizon and painted these beautiful yellow, magenta, and blue colors on the low clouds hanging over us. Knowing it would be gone by the time we headed back to the Imagination Pavilion, we quickly set up inside the Mission Space queue and used the sky as a backdrop for the rocket in the queue. The only lenses I was carrying at the time were the 24 and 50mm primes, and the 15mm fisheye. I shot a few with the 50mm, but quickly switched to the fisheye to gain the ultra-wide perspective that captured the beautiful transition of warm to cool colors in the sky. Hope you guys like this one as much as I do!
Congrats to the Minutewomen!
STORRS, CT. -- No. 14 Massachusetts (17-5, 7-0 A-10) claimed a historic 1-0 shutout victory over No. 10 Harvard (16-4, 6-1) in the NCAA Elite Eight on Sunday at Nancy Stevens Field. With the win, the Minutewomen advanced to their fifth Final Four and first since 1992.

2007 World Champions!!!!! Wooohoooo!!!!
I got this hat during the 2004 season, when they won the championship, so it's a lucky hat. Now it's been around for 2 championships! : )
World Series Game 1: Red Sox 13, Rockies 1. Woohooo! That was a fun one, very enjoyable from the get go! Memorables: Beckett's on a historic run, Pedroia Lead-off HR, 17 Hits, 13 Runs by 5th inning, etc.
World Series Game 2: Red Sox 2, Rockies 1. That was a nail biter with some solid pitching! Memorables: Pick-off in 8th of Holliday, Schill, Oki, Pap - buh-buy!
World Series Game 3: Red Sox 10, Rockies 5. Rockies make a late run, then Sox blow it open with an Ellsbury (4 hits) double in 8th. The rookies were the story (Ellsbury, Pedroia, Matsuzaka). Dice-K pitches well and drives in 2 with single. Pap closes the door again.
World Series Game 4: Red Sox 4, Rockies 3. Lester pitches shutout ball into the 6th, lead 4-1 in 8th, Hawpe homer makes it close. Lowell and Kielty HR's finish the deal. Pap in to close - WORLD CHAMPS!!!!!!
Those Rockies pitchers sure weren't facing the Diamondbacks hitters anymore! Lol!
I actually like the Rockies, too. I have rooted for the Rockies up until now, but that time is over. Been a fan of the Sox since 1979 when I started getting into baseball as an 8 year old growing up in Yankee country (Syracuse, New York). I rebelled against all the Yankee love and rooted for Yaz, F. Lynn, Rice, Fisk and company back then. Hated Reggie Jackson, Billy Martin, Bucky Dent, etc!!

Roan Mountain State Park, TN
Camped out this past weekend about 20 yards from this waterfall in Roan Mountain State Park. Started hiking up to Jane Bald on the Appalachian Trail late Friday afternoon, but had to turn back after about 25 minutes because a freak hail storm suddenly rolled over us (crazy weather is common up on Roan Mountain and things can change on a dime at that altitude). Saturday was also a photographic shutout with complete cloud cover all day… had to turn my attention to photographing waterfalls.
Thanks for looking!
Masuk's Julia Bacoulis delivers a pitch against Waterford during the CIAC Class L Softball final last week. Bacoulis tossed a three-hit shutout with 12 strikeouts to lead the Panthers to their seventh straight state title.

I went out shooting with Caroline yesterday, the sky was a solid light grey and we were shutout at first, but once we got into the Alliance-Forestburg corridor we struck gold!!
This is one of the last places we went to, the clouds parted a wee bit thankfully. The cows that live in the field that surround this house are constantly try to bust into it, as you can tell by the roughed up exterior and the heavily worn path around it, so far they've failed to pick the locks.....which means NO dead cow in the basement yet :^)
Supermoon and lunar eclipse from Martis Valley in Truckee, California. Almost shutout by clouds, but patience paid off...
On Wednesday 9th October 19, in their Southwest Conference opener, the Cerritos College wrestling team opened with a 34-10 home win over Santa Ana College.
125 Pounds - #1 Jonathan Prata (CERR) def. Hector Camarena (SA), 19-2 (technical fall)
Maintaining his undefeated record, freshman Jonathan Prata (Downey HS) got to work quickly against Hector Camarena. After getting a quick takedown, he followed it with a two-point near fall and after a second takedown in the period, added a four-point near fall before the end of the period. A pair of two-point near falls in the second period was followed by a four-pointer, which ended the match at the buzzer to end the second period.
133 Pounds - Jose Mata (SA) def. #5 (125 pounds) Jose Lozano (CERR), 12-0 (major decision)
Competing in his first match at 133 pounds this season, freshman Jose Lozano (North Torrance HS) had a solid first period, where the match remained scoreless. However, in the second period, Jose Mata got Lozano on his back and scored a pair of four-point near falls, with the second coming at the end of the period.

Ranked #3 in the state at 133 pounds, sophomore Andres Gonzales (Capistrano Valley HS) made a good impression in his first match at 141 pounds this season. Taking on #5-ranked Ali Kavez, Gonzales picked up a pair of points with a takedown with :38 seconds left in the first period. Kaveh earned an escape point before the end of the first and added another to start the second period, before Gonzalez produced another takedown with 1:24 left in the second period. Holding on to a 4-3 lead with 2:00 left, Gonzalez added an escape point and riding time to round out his victory.

In one of two matches that went into overtime, sophomore Jarrod Nunez (Mayfair HS) took a 4-0 lead over Danny Serrano in the first period after an aggressive takedown and two-point near fall. But Serrano started his comeback when he reversed Nunez before the end of the first period and added another early in the second period. Needing at least an escape to be in position to tie the match, Nunez received it with :57 seconds left in the third period, with Serrano earning a point due to riding time. The two completed their 1:00 overtime without scoring, as well as each of their :30 second periods where each wrestling tried to escape to earn a point and the win. In the second overtime, Serrano was able to score a takedown with :18 seconds left to pick up the win.
197 Pounds - #4 Hamzah Al-Saudi (CERR) def. Jean Karlos Navas (SA), 19-4 (technical fall)
Riding the momentum of winning the Santa Ana Tournament, #4-ranked Hamzah Al-Saudi (Palisades HS) got stronger and stronger as the match went on against Jean Karlos Navas. Al-Saudi led just 2-1 in the first period, but a pair of takedowns and a last-second four-point near fall put him in front, 10-2 after the first three minutes. Two more takedowns and subsequent near falls earned him a technical fall win with :14 seconds left on the clock in the second period.
285 Pounds - #3 Randy Arriaga (CERR) def. Joseph Nava (SA), 3-2 (OT)
The night was capped off with another overtime match, as #3-ranked Randy Arriaga (Capistrano Valley HS) was the beneficiary of two stall points, which aided him in his win. Trailing, 2-1 with time running out in the third period, Joseph Nava was penalized a point for stalling with :23 seconds left. Then, in overtime, another one-point stalling penalty with :48 seconds left gave Arriaga another point to secure the win.

Oh man, what a game last night. Double OT thriller between the Pens and the Lightning that the Pens prevailed 3-2 on James Neal's first goal in 21 games and the first playoff goal of this career. This is one that I took of him in warmups earlier this year. You can check out more shots of James Neal and other Penguins on my blog!

With the football season coming to an end yesterday the countdown to baseball season is officially underway!
Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Simeon Woods-Richardson getting in some warm up throws in center field at Target Field prior to a start against the Seattle Mariners on May 6th, 2024.
He would throw 6 shutout innings striking out 8 batters and only allowing 1 hit.
Harry Taylor Howell (November 14, 1876 – May 22, 1956) was an American professional baseball player who played as a pitcher for the Brooklyn Bridegrooms / Brooklyn Superbas (1898 and 1900), Baltimore Orioles (1899), Baltimore Orioles / New York Highlanders (1901–03) and St. Louis Browns (1904–10).
Howell helped the Superbas win the 1900 National League pennant. He led the American League in Complete Games (35) in 1905. He is the Baltimore Orioles career leader in ERA (2.06).
In 13 seasons Howell had a 131–146 Win-Loss record, 340 Games (282 Started), 244 Complete Games and 20 Shutouts.
1910 Chalmers Award Scandal - Howell, along with the Jack O'Connor, the Browns player-manager, was involved in the scandal surrounding efforts to help Cleveland's Nap Lajoie win the batting title and the associated 1910 Chalmers Award over Ty Cobb in the last two games of the season, a doubleheader at Sportsman's Park. Cobb was leading Lajoie .385 to .376 in the batting race going into that last day. O'Connor ordered rookie third baseman Red Corriden to station himself in shallow left field to allow what otherwise would be routine infield ground outs to be base hits. Lajoie bunted five straight times down the third base line and made it to first easily. On his last at-bat, Lajoie reached base on a fielding error, officially giving him a hitless at-bat and lowering his average. O'Connor and Howell tried to bribe the official scorer, a woman, to change the call to a hit, offering to buy her a new wardrobe. Cobb won the batting title by less than one point over Lajoie, .385069 to .384095. The resulting outcry triggered an investigation by American League president Ban Johnson, who declared Cobb the rightful winner of the batting title (though Chalmers awarded cars to both players). At his insistence, Browns' owner Robert Hedges fired both O'Connor and Howell, and released them as players; both men were informally banned from baseball for life.

The tobacco card set known as T206 was issued from 1909 to 1911 in cigarette and loose tobacco packs through 16 different brands owned by the American Tobacco Company. It is a landmark set in the history of baseball card collecting, due to its size, rarity, and the quality of its color lithographs. It is also known informally as the "White Border" set due to the distinctive white borders surrounding the lithographs on each card.
The T206 set consists of 524 cards. Over 100 of the cards picture minor league players. There are also multiple cards for the same player in different poses, different uniforms, or even with different teams after being traded (since the set was issued over a period of three years). The cards measure 1 7⁄16 by 2 5⁄8 inches (3.7 cm × 6.7 cm) which is considered by many collectors to be the standard tobacco card size.
The T206 Wagner is the most valuable baseball card in existence, and even damaged examples are valued at $100,000 or more. This is in part because of Wagner's place among baseball's immortals, as he was an original Hall of Fame inductee. More importantly, it is one of the scarcest cards from the most prominent of all vintage card sets.

On July 16th, 1972 my Grandpa took me to my first Major League Baseball game in Detroit vs the Kansas City Royals.
At a hurried pace from the bus on our way to Tiger Stadium, all the Coney Island had left was as pictured. We gobbled it down & got inside just in time to see the opening pitch sitting in our front row box seats on the first base line. He would never dream I now celebrate this every July 16th.
Rookie Bill Slayback pitched a five-hit shutout as the Tigers beat the Royals, 2-0. Norm Cash and Aurelio Rodríguez both hit home runs.
That's what lifetime memories are made of!
Thanks Sue for cooking this up for me once again this year!
Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Roy Halladay (34) in action against the New York Mets at Citizens Bank Park in the South Philadelphia neighborhood of Philadelphia.
The Phillies defeated the Mets 10-0 with Halladay pitching a three hit complete game shutout, striking out six and improving his record for the season to 5-1.
A few weeks later, Halladay pitched a perfect game May 29, 2010, against the Florida Marlins retiring 27 consecutive batters and later in the year, on October 6, 2010, in his first postseason appearance, Halladay pitched a no-hitter (his second of the season), against the Cincinnati Reds in the first game of the National League Division Series
Halladay would go on to win his second Cy Young award that season (his first was in 2003 with the Toronto Blue Jays) and became only the fifth pitcher in major league history to win the award in both the American and National leagues.
Halladay was inducted in the National Baseball Hall of Fame posthumously in 2019 having been killed in a plane crash in 2017 at the age of forty.
The Toronto Blue Jays retired his uniform number 32 in his honor, and the Phillies retired his number 34 on May 29, 2020, the 10th anniversary of his perfect game

The Los Angeles Angels were a Minor League Baseball team based in Los Angeles that played in the "near-major league" Pacific Coast League from 1903 through 1957. From 1903 through 1957, the Los Angeles Angels, a PCL team, were one of the mainstays of the Pacific Coast League, winning the PCL pennant 12 times. From 1903 through 1925, the team played at 15,000-seat Washington Park (also known as Chutes Park), just south of downtown Los Angeles. Both the team and the park were founded by James Furlong "Jim" Morley (1869–1940). During this time, the Angels (or Looloos or Seraphs as they were sometimes called), won pennants in 1903, 1905, 1907, 1908, 1916, 1918, and 1921.

Jimmy "Toots" Agnew was a pitcher on the 1907 Seattle High School team. He was born in Portland and moved to Seattle when he was a year old. The son of P.J. Agnew, an early-day King County auditor, “Toots” launched his pro career in 1911 when he joined Los Angeles of the Pacific Coast League. He had such a poor debut season, going 5-20, that Los Angeles sold him in 1912 to Vancouver of the Northwestern League. A year later, Vancouver traded him to Portland, where he injured his arm and never pitched again. Agnew finished his pro career with a 19-34 record and served as a lieutenant with the 20th Engineers Regiment in France during World War I (where he met his wife, Jano). He spent the 30 years following World War I as a pharmaceutical sales representative, and then went to work for the King County engineer’s office. Jimmy Agnew died on Feb. 26, 1953, in Seattle at the age of 63 following a short illness.
In 1912, Tacoma traded Schmutz, now nicknamed King, to Vancouver for five players, including former Seattle High teammate Jimmy Agnew.
From Bob Lemke's Blog (10 December 2009) - Jimmy "Toots" Agnew was born in Portland, Ore., in 1890, and never left the West Coast during his injury-shortened career in professional baseball. When the sporting press first took notice of him, he was described as a "college pitcher from Seattle." According to the SABR Minor League Database, Agnew's first pro gig was in the Pacific Coast League, with Los Angeles, in 1911. However, he appears in the 1910 Obak cigarette card set with L.A., so either SABR dropped a stitch or Obak jumped the gun. Considering that his 1911 Obak card says his pitching record for 1910 was "unavailable," it's more than likely that Agnew was Angels' property in 1910, but never actually played. In 1911, Agnew lost 20 games, winning only five. That caused him to be sold to Vancouver (Class B, Northwestern League) for the 1912 season. He was reported traded to Tacoma (without any record that he actually pitched for them), then to Portland (NWL). With Portland again in 1913, he injured his arm in May. According to the baseball custom of that era, he was paid for two weeks at his regular salary ($200 per month), then for another two weeks at half-pay, per the standard injury clause of the day's contracts. The team then put him on as a gatekeeper, and we hear no more of Jimmy Agnew. Besides his 1910 and 1911 Obak cards, Agnew appeared in 1911 sets from Pacific Coast Biscuit and Zeenuts candy.
This is the reason why Jimmy "Toots" Agnew appeared in the 1910 T212 OBAK Baseball card set. (Clipped from - The San Francisco Examiner newspaper - San Francisco, California - 17 April 1910) - Jimmy Agnew, the young Santa Clara College pitcher, was In uniform on the Angel bench Friday, and Captain Dillon planned to take him south for a tryout, but James Agnew, the former owner of the Seattle club, the boy's father, telegraphed from the north that he didn't want Jimmy to play professional baseball.

(Morning Oregonian, June 12, 1907) - SCHOOL TEAM TO GO EAST - Baseball Nine of Seattle High School Will Play Games in New York. SEATTLE, Wash., June 11. (Special.) Though none of the commercial bodies of Seattle considered the venture profitable, Seattle business men have advanced money enough to enable the Seattle High School baseball team to make a tour of Eastern cities this Summer and fill a schedule of 45 games that has been arranged for the team. Harold Stewart, the son of Assistant Chief Engineer Alexander Stewart of the Great Northern, who raised the funds to bring the Chicago High School and Lick school of San Francisco football teams here last Winter, financed the Eastern tour of the local school boys. Jimmy Agnew, son of County Auditor James P. Agnew, a figure in Coast League baseball up to this year, and young Charley Schmutz, the high school lad who shut out Dugdale's league team in a practice game, will do all the pitching. Others in the team are: Charley Mullen, first base; Smith, second; Hilton, third; McGuire, shortstop; Hickingbotham, left field; William Jennings “Wee” Coyle, center; Ten Million, right, and Hemingway, captain and catcher. The first game will be played In St. Paul, where new uniforms advertising the 1909 fair will meet the team. The boys have games scheduled with high schools as far east as New York. They are to leave Friday.
(Lewiston Evening Teller, July 16, 1907) - HIGH TEAM LOSES AGAIN - WASHINGTON, D. C., July 16.— Because "Toots" Agnew was over worked, the Seattle High school baseball team went down to defeat Friday by a score of 9 to 3. The Westerners have gained a host of friends here who were disappointed at their defeat. Both teams were blanked until the fifth session when Agnew became affected with the heat and the All-Stars gathered five tallies. "Toots" Agnew was spiked in the ankle, which proved a severe handicap to the tourists.
(Lewiston Evening Teller, July 20, 1907) - SEATTLE HIGH WINS AGAIN - CHARLOTTSVILLE, Va,, July 20.— The Seattle High School baseball team played an errorless game and, aided by the masterly pitching of "Toots” Agnew, defeated Charlottsvllle by a score of 5 to 1 yesterday. The locals escaped a shutout because a long foul was called fair and it counted for a triple. A single scored the runner. Thirty men faced Agnew. He fanned 10, hit one, walked one and allowed but five hits.
(San Francisco Call, 22 January 1910) - SANTA CLARA. Jan. 21. — Santa Clara opens its college baseball schedule for 1910 tomorrow afternoon with the Stanford team at Palo Alto. All eyes will be focused on the competing teams, as the result will be a "feeler" of the relative strength of Stanford and Santa Clara. The beginning of this season show a bunch of players here who can meet the bait on the nose, something Kelly or any other coach rejoices in. One of the best, if not the best batters Santa Clara can boast this year is first baseman Thornton, formerly with the Barney Frankels of San Francisco. The boy has surely shown his worth with the stick and as an all around Good player. The thinning down going on here the last few days has been carried on with these words in mind. The pitchers for this years team are Barry, "Toots" Agnew and Allegaert.
(San Francisco Call, 9 March 1910) - COLLEGE TWIRLER HAS GOOD RECORD - Santa Clara Slab Artist Has Won All But Two of the Games Played (Special Dispatch to The Call) SANTA CLARA, March 8.— "Toots" Agnew, the former Seattle high school player, has more than made good in the Santa Clara varsity, nine this season. Agnew has pitched two-thirds of the games and came out with a record of only two defeats. Sunday he held the Barney Frankels of San Francisco down to two hits and did not allow a man to reach first base before the seventh inning. Agnew is one of those pitchers who never lose their heads, even with the bases full and the bleachers "hollering" themselves hoarse.
(San Francisco Call, 10 April 1910) - ST. MARY'S TAKES THE CHAMPIONSHIP - Oaklanders Down Santa Clara in Big League Exhibition of Baseball - by WILL SCARLET - St. Mary's college won the intercollegiate baseball championship from Santa Clara yesterday afternoon at Freeman's park, Oakland, by taking the second game in this year's series by the score of 1 to 0. The biggest surprise to the fans who have been following the work of the Catholic college boys was the fine showing made by the southern twirler, "Toots" Agnew. For seven and a half innings the spectators of yesterday's diamond conflict were treated to the sort of ball we get when the Seals and the Beavers start one of those 15 inning rackets that result in a no score game. The St. Mary's men connected with Agnew a trifle more frequently than the southerners hit Leonard, but there seemed little prospect of anybody scoring unless something unexpected should happen. But something did happen. Wilkinson, St. Mary's first baseman, connected with one of Agnew's benders and sent the ball soaring skyward. The bleachers woke up and the rooters on both sides yelled. Little Zarick, the Santa Clara left fielder, dug madly after the fly, but the ball cleared the left field fence and Wilkie serenely trotted home. That homer was the first and only run of the game.
(The Seattle Star, January 12, 1911) - Toots Agnew, baseball player, son of the former county auditor, is being sought by Angeles.
(The Seattle Star, January 19, 1911) - Toots Agnew will go with Los Angeles for 1911.
(Los Angeles Herald, 23 January 1911) - Agnew, a rah-rah twirler from Seattle, is one of the late additions to the ranks of the Angels, and although he has had little, if any, experience in the professional line his rating in the amateur ranks shows exceptional promise.
(San Francisco Call, 16 February 1911) - AGNEW AT SANTA CLARA - SANTA CLARA, Feb.. 15.—James "Toots" Agnew, last years star slabster of the Santa Clara varsity, is visiting the college. Agnew has signed a contract with Hen Berry's Los Angeles club. But for parental objection, Agnew would have been In the coast league last season. "Toots" as he was popularly known on the campus during his college days will remain at college until February 20, when he will depart for the south to report to the Los Angeles team.
(Los Angeles Herald, 28 March 1911) - Agnew is not to be dropped from the Angel roster merely because he has a sore arm and has been unable to show himself in the practice games. Berry said last night that he had a lot of confidence in the ability of Agnew to pitch winning ball for the Angels this season and will keep him until he recovers from the sore arm affliction, and send him in to make good, as he believes the Northwestern leaguer surely will do.
(Los Angeles Herald, 9 April 1911) - Agnew, a new recruit for the mound department, has had little or no experience in the line of professional ball, but is a Santa Clara college twirler. His home is in Seattle. He comes highly recommended and will probably be held for a year or two before given any great leeway in regular work.
(Los Angeles Herald, 20 April 1911) - Agnew is so good that he is afraid he will be heaving no-hit games and get drafted. He wants to stay on the coast.
(San Francisco Call, 30 April 1911) - VERNON TRIMS ANGELS AGAIN - Pitcher Agnew Makes Professional Debut and Impresses Fans Favorably - LOS ANGELES, April 29, Jimmy Agnew, a former Santa Clara college boy, pitched his first professional game of baseball today and made an impressive debut, even though Vernon again trimmed the Angels 5 to 3. He held the Villagers to six hits and really outpitched Brackenridge, but poor support in the field, especially by his battery partner, Hughey Smith, turned these six hits into five runs. Brackenridge was especially effective with men on bases, and killed off several rallying efforts by the Angels. The latter got away poorly in the ninth, but put up a rattling finish and got to the point where a hit would have tied the score, but Wheeler was not equal to the occasion and retired the side with his easy poke to Patterson.
(Los Angeles Herald, 30 April 1911) - Hogan says that Agnew is a wonder and will make a winner for Dillon. Nearly 5000 fans who saw him work yesterday think the same way. Few youngsters can show as much in their first professional game. This is the second season he has tried to catch on with the Angels, and it looks like he had made a permanent place on regular call for himself.
(Los Angeles Herald, 21 May 1911) - JIMMY AGNEW, the Santa Clara boy, who has been kept on the Angels’ bench for several days while the other heavers were getting the everlasting stuffing thumped out of them by the Villagers, went onto the hill for Cap Dillon’s rickety old Angel machine yesterday afternoon and pitched such dandy ball that the Hogans had to take the short end of the 9 to 6 count. Agnew had one bad inning, the second, before he settled down to the job ahead of him, and the Villagers piled up four runs before he could pull himself together. After that round he was so effective that the suburban outfit could make the circuit of the bags only twice more, while the Angels seemed to have some sort of a hunch that Agnew could hold the enemy down the balance of the time and gave him winning support In the field and at bat.
(Los Angeles Herald, 28 August 1911) - Jimmy Agnew out pitched Pernoll yesterday morning, winning his game by a 6 to 4 score. The Santa Clara boy is going to be some classy twirler next year and when Berry gets a stronger team behind him it looks like he might be one of the Angels’ winning regulars.
(The Seattle Star, April 26, 1912) - Toots Agnew pitched the Vancouver champions to victory yesterday, beating Spokane 5 to 3. Agnew allowed only 5 hits.
(The Tacoma Times, May 30, 1912) - Morning Game Lost By Tacoma Tigers - The Tigers lost to Vancouver in the first game today at Seattle, scoring but 1 against the Beavers' 8. Hunt and Crittenden worked well but the Vancouver batters found Hunt for 10 hits. The Tigers got seven scattered hits off Toots Agnew.
(The Tacoma Times, July 27, 1912) - "Toots" Agnew Is expected to show up for tomorrow's game. He was still fiddling yesterday with that job with Twohy Bros., but his father wants him to finish out the season at least, with the Tigers.
(Morning Oregonian, August 22, 1912) - Tacoma has sold Jimmy Agnew to the Portland Colts. Agnew was pitching swell ball for Vancouver when traded to Tacoma In the Schmutz deal, but he refused to report to Watkins. Tacoma Is said to have owed McCredie some money on the La Longe sale, hence the dicker for Agnew. He Is a Seattle boy.
(The Seattle Star, August 23, 1912) - PORTLAND COLTS GET AGNEW - Toots Agnew, the former Seattle high school twirler, traded to Tacoma along with Butch Belford and Outfielder Persons by Vancouver in exchange for Charley Schmutz and who refused to join the Tigers, has picked up with Portland. Portland is here with Victoria this week. Agnew will probably pitch today.
(The Tacoma Times, June 14, 1913) - Probably Toots Agnew will
never pitch again. He has been here taking treatment for his sore arm from Dr. Barritt, and the latter declares he has pitched his last game. Toots has been troubled with a lame wing most of this season, and apparently it is permanent. Agnew is well liked around the circuit and has always been a good pitcher. Fans all along the coast will sympathize with him. He was formerly with Broadway High school, and later with the Los Angeles team in the Coast league.
(Morning Oregonian, November 14, 1913) - Jimmy Agnew is a grateful sort of chap. When his arm failed him, Nick Williams gave him full pay for two weeks and half pay for two weeks more and sent Jim home to Seattle to rest. Agnew laid low until the close of the season and then slipped a bill for $650 into the minor leagues arbitration board. Jimmy got turned down good and hard.
(The Sunday Oregonian, May 10, 1914) - Another game that is entitled to a place in Pacific Northwest Marathon battles, but which appears to have been overlooked, is that 21 inning affair in which Fort Casey defeated Joe Schlumpf's Websters, of Seattle, 1 to 0. The game was played at Fort Casey about five years ago. "Toots Agnew, formerly of the Portland Colts, pitched for Schlumpf's team and Johnny McManus, the oldtime University of Washington sprinter and ballplayer, did the catching. Byrd and Clark were the battery for the soldiers. Each pitcher struck out 21 and each issued three bases on balls. The Websters got eight hits off Byrd and the Soldiers got seven hits off Agnew.
(The Seattle Star, May 22, 1917) - "Toots" Agnew pitched good
ball, only allowing three hits, two of them counting for runs,
which lost the game, and Skinner & Eddy won, 2 to 0.
(The Tacoma Times, August 2, 1917) - SEATTLE TO SEND FAST
SEMI-PROS - "Toots" Agnew, former Northwestern league pitcher, who is managing the Ames team in the Seattle Shipbuilding league, agreed to bring his classy club to Tacoma for the first Sunday game with Hall's Tacoma All-Stars. The Ames team is one of the best semi-pro clubs In Seattle, and is really composed chiefly of former professionals.
(Morning Oregonian, August 12, 1919) - "Toots" Agnew Home From France. SEATTLE. Wash. Aug. 11. Lieutenant James W. (Toots) Agnew, former baseball player in the Pacific northwest,
arrived here today after two years service with the American army in Franco. With him was his bride, who is Mademoiselle Jeanne J. Ballency of Dix, Landes, France.
