1989 Albany-Colonie Yankees Yearbook Notes

New York Yankees AA Farm Club (Eastern League)

Greetings:
The 1988 season was one that will be long remembered by Albany baseball fans. New ownership, a mid-season managerial change, Dave Eiland to the majors, all-stars Stankiewicz, Maas, Azocar, and Albany's first Eastern League championship since 1954.
The 1989 season will be Albany's 30th in the Eastern League, and its seventh since the return of professional baseball to the capital region. Will there be another championship? Who will go from Heritage Park to Yankee Stadium? Will an Albany Yankee lead the league in hitting? These are just some of the questions fans can enjoy posing as the Yankees embark on another season of Eastern League competition.
There will be a great deal of excitement at Heritage Park this season whether the Yanks repeat as champs or not. High caliber play and exciting promotional nights at the park will keep things hopping and the many Yankee fans entertained.
In 30 years of Eastern League baseball in Albany, over four million fans have chosen to spend a night at the ballpark. In 1989 that number will surely grow.
I thank the fans for their support, and I wish the Albany Yankees players and management the best of luck in the league's 67th season.

Sincerely,
Charles Esbach
[Eastern League] President


MEET THE PRESIDENT OF THE ALBANY-COLONIE YANKEES
"1989 is Paul Keating's second year as President of the Albany-Colonie Yankees. Being a lifelong baseball fan, the 1988 season was a dream come true for Paul, as the A-C Yanks won the Eastern League championship during his first year with the team.
Paul is a native of Fitchburg, Mass., where he grew up developing an interest in baseball memorabilia and statistics. He was a first baseman for his high school's baseball team. At this time, he developed an interest in track and carried it over to college. He attended Worcester Polytechnic Institute, where he was a member of the track team and graduated with a degree in civil engineering.
In addition to being president of the Albany-Colonie Yankees, Keating is Treasurer and Chief Executive Officer of P.J. Keating Company and is president of the following companies: Norlite in Cohoes, Keating Materials Corp. of Dracut [Mass.], Roof Block Ltd., Keating Environmental Services and Keating Sports Group.
When speaking of the 1988 Albany-Colonie Yankees, Keating he said he was 'extremely proud of the team's championship season.' He also said that he was 'looking forward to another exciting season in 1989' and is 'glad to provide the Capital District with quality family entertainment.'
Paul lives in Massachusetts with his wife, Barbara Ann. They are the proud parents of sons Paul and Michael, and daughter Jennifer."

RALPH ACAMPORA (General Manager)
"Saying he was 'pleasantly surprised' and 'very happy with the 1988 championship season,' Ralph Acampora predicts that 'the 1989 season at Heritage Park will be even more fun and exciting for the fans than it was in 1988.' Ralph returns as the General Manager of the Albany-Colonie Yankees after a successful rookie year in 1988.
He graduated from Notre Dame High School in West Haven, Connecticut and went on to attend Providence College and Southern Connecticut University, where he received a degree in economics. He was previously associated with the construction industry, in various capacities, with the parent P.J. Keating Company before becoming Albany-Colonie's General Manager.
Ralph promises several scheduled changes and improvements at Heritage Park for the 1989 season. 'We will be managing our own concessions in an effort to keep prices more affordable and to improve services to our fans.' In addition, there will be a 'new, much-improved sound system and new musical equipment to give Heritage Park a more fan-involved, major league atmosphere.' Also new for the 1989 season will be the addition of 200 new field level seats, which have been installed along the first base line. These seats will provide fans with an excellent view of the game. 'Our goal is to make everyone's visit to Heritage Park in 1989 a pleasurable and affordable experience.'"

-1989 Albany Colonie Yankees Yearbook


TIM WESTON (Trainer)
"The trainer for the 1989 Albany-Colonie Yankees is 23-year-old Tim Weston, who begins his second year in the Yankee organization. Last season Tim was at Oneonta of the New York-Penn League.
Weston is a native of Waldoboro, Maine which is about 60 miles from Portland. He is a graduate of the University of Maine, majoring in physical education and sports medicine. At Maine, Tim was a trainer for the football and hockey teams.
He says his goal is to become a major league trainer and he has a 'very positive feeling coming to Albany and is very comfortable within the Yankee organization' and 'looks forward to the challenge.'
During the off-season, Tim works in the family-run business in Waldoboro."

MEET RICK: THE A-C YANKEES MUSIC MAN
"National award-winning musician and composer Rick Angerami is this season's Albany-Colonie Yankee music maker.
Rick has been using his talents in jazz and contemporary electronic music to entertain audiences throughout the northeast and he brings his unique style to Heritage Park to entertain our baseball fans using music and humor with a 'high tech' twist. Our new electronic music instruments will surely entertain you over the new sound system all season long.
Rick is the originator and creator of soundpainting stories which have been touring schools and institutions throughout New York State.
For his work in jazz and electronic music, Angerami has won awards and commissions from the National Endowment for the Arts, New York State Council on the Arts, New York Foundation for the Arts and Meet the Composer.
It will surely be an entertaining summer with Rick at the keyboard high atop Heritage Park."

-1989 Albany Colonie Yankees Yearbook


A-C GOOD LUCK CHARM
"The story on how the Albany-Colonie Yankees surged to finish in fourth place to make the Eastern League playoffs is pretty well known. They parlayed that finish into an Eastern League championship, beating Glens Falls and Vermont and laying claim to the Balfour trophy for a year.
In every championship situation no matter what the sport, luck plays a part and A-C had its good luck charm during that stretch run of good fortune. The good luck charm turned out to be a rather large and very lost dog that wandered into Heritage Park one day about the middle of August. True, the animal looked like it had had a couple of bad days, but it looked well fed and was friendly and smart as she could be. We scanned the area newspapers to see if someone had reported the dog lost. A-C General Manager Ralph Acampora and wife Isabelle, who live in the county, took the dog home. The Acamporas conducted an exhaustive search for the dog's owner and when it was realized one was not coming forth, the dog had a permanent home.
The dog was named 'Yankee' and after subsequent visits to the vet, it was learned the dog is a pure bread Labrador Retriever about a year and a half old, who now lives the good life.
With the arrival of Yankee at Heritage Park, the Albany-Colonie Yanks went ten and one at home including four playoff victories and the E.L. Championship. Yankee turned out to be the good luck charm for A-C as the team turned it around in late August and took home the bacon. Good luck charms come from all kinds of situations and our Yankee certainly brought some good fortune to Heritage Park. Don't be surprised to see Yankee around the park a lot in '89."

"The Eastern League umpire staff will include seven returnees and five arbiters making their season debut.
The umpires are much like the players in regards to their effort to work their way to the major leagues. Baseball's Umpire Development Program recruits the top students from various umpire schools and assigns them to the rookie leagues and short-season Class A Leagues. As the umpires refine their skills, they move up through the system- rookie, A, AA, AAA- and for the most talented, the major leagues."

"On a warm summer night in June of '88, the Albany-Colonie Yankees staged their first annual event for an area charity. When the dust had cleared, the junior Yanks presented a check to the Big Brothers-Big Sisters organizations for $27,725.00, the result of a charity softball game held at Heritage Park. It featured Lou Piniella, who the next day was named New York Yankee manager again, Boston Celtic basketball great John Havlicek, and hockey Hall of Famer Bobby Orr.
What transpired that night was a group of businessmen from the Capital District and the Boston, Massachusetts area playing against each other in a softball game, the Yankees vs. the Red Sox, so to speak. Through the generous efforts of these businessmen, the results speak for themselves. The softball game, plus a mid-winter event attended by Piniella, raised over $30,000 on behalf of the Big Brothers-Sisters organization.
There will be another charity event at Heritage Park this summer that will be every bit as exciting a night as was held last year. Watch for our announcements."

1989 New York Yankees Program and Scorecard Notes

WELCOME
"Welcome to another exciting year of Yankees baseball.
This is the 86th anniversary of the most dominant team in the history of professional sports. The Yankees have won 22 World Championships and 33 American League pennants in 86 years.
While most teams are still looking for their first championship or can only point to one standout period in their history, the Yankees can boast several distinct eras within their overall dominance of major league baseball.
Yankee greatness was sprouted by the combined talents of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. From Ruth's arrival in New York in 1920 to his departure from the Yankees in 1935, the Pinstripers won four World Championships and seven American League pennants.
Joe DiMaggio's arrival in 1936 started the tradition of great Yankee center fielders, and with his retirement in 1951, the Yankees had added 10 more World Series victories and 11 more pennants.
Mickey Mantle picked up the torch from there, contributing to six additional World Championships and another 11 league pennants that were won before he retired in 1969.
After a dry spell of several years, Thurman Munson and Reggie Jackson had the Yankees back on track in the late '70s, winning two more World Championships and three AL titles.
Now the team has been reshaped and regrouped and is ready to add to the Yankees' rich tradition. We don't know which Yankees in today's lineup will become legends. But already names like Don Mattingly, Rickey Henderson, Ron Guidry, Dave Righetti, Dave Winfield and a host of others are beginning to leave their mark in the Yankee record book.
The Yankees originally joined the American League in 1903 and were known as the 'Highlanders.' Around 1913 the nickname 'Yankees' was adopted and a couple of years later pinstripes appeared on their uniforms. Their first American League pennant was won in 1921 and they claimed their first World Championship in 1923. In 1929, the Yankees were the first team to add numbers to the backs of their uniforms. The Yankee Pride and Tradition was on its way.
Now in 1989 the Yankees proudly wear the same uniforms, play in the same ballpark, in the same great city and carry on the same traditions established when they won their first World Championship.
We take great pride in welcoming you to the 87th season of Yankee baseball ... be a part of it ... as the Bronx Bombers and their fans strive for yet another world title."

YANKEES ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
"With the goal of saluting the men who made the Yankees the most talked about athletic team in the land, George Steinbrenner organized the Yankee Alumni Association as one of the first orders of business after his group purchased the club in 1973. The organization was the first of its kind in professional sports. The association is open to all former Yankee players with a minimum of a full year of service and currently boasts more than 300 members.
Members and their wives will receive a copy of the association's quarterly publication aptly named 'Pinstripes,' a set of alumni pins and a directory that is updated every two or three years as needed. As a result of the directory, many former teammates have rediscovered each other and reopened communication lines. Another interesting adjunct is that widows of former Yankees retain their membership and are in contact quite frequently.
Another benefit of membership in the Y.A.A. is Mr. Steinbrenner's standing invitation to all members to attend Yankee games in whichever city the club is playing.
Jim Ogle, former New York sportswriter, was named director of the association in the summer of 1976 and moved headquarters to Ft. Lauderdale, FL, the winter home of the Bronx Bombers. He is continually tracking down former Yankees not yet enrolled and who have slipped from sight.
Old Timers Day, which the Yankees originated, has more or less become Alumni Reunion Day, especially since Ogle became the coordinator of the annual affair.
This year's affair will be held July 15 and will feature a tribute to the 50th anniversary of Lou Gehrig Appreciation Day, recognized as the start of Old Timers Day. Those in attendance will include former Yankees Tom Tresh, Catfish Hunter, Ed Figueroa, Bucky Dent, Bobby Murcer and Joe Pepitone among others.
Seeing past Yankee heroes is always a special day for those in attendance. The 1989 Old Timers Day game is sure to another memorable experience. See you there."
