It is with great sadness that we must announce the passing of our oldest and longest standing member, Russ Bower. Russ was a member of the club for more than 50 years. He was a long-time employee of the Howe News Bureau, which was the official statistics service for Major League Baseball during Russ' tenure. Russ rarely missed a meeting or an annual banquet and was, for many years, found behind the badge table handing out membership badges at every banquet. Services for Russ will be held at the Drechsler, Brown & Williams Funeral Home at 203 S. Marion St., Oak Park, IL (708) 383-3191 on Monday, May 20, 2013 with the viewing from 1-3 PM and funeral service at 3 PM.
 
Good luck to all on a successful 2013 baseball season. Check back here for our Club outing Joliet Slammer details. Our 2013 meetings will resume in August or September.
 

Learn more about Tony La Russa's new book One Last Strike.

"I wanted to write this book because there’s a story that answers the question I got asked at the end of last season: How did you club win the world championship, especially when you had to come from so far behind?" La Russa said. "This is the first time I went back and realized everything the club went through and overcame to be the champion -- big, big difference looking back instead of looking forward."
