Oklahoma City is completing its first century of minor league baseball. Since 1904, organized professional teams called the Mets, Indians, Senators, Boosters, 89ers, and now the RedHawks have thrilled fans of all ages. Several fan-favorites who have graced the diamond for Oklahoma City have gone on to stardom in "The Big Show," including major league all-stars Lonnie Smith and Juan Gonzales. Legendary names like Rogers Hornsby and Bill Veeck have also played a part in Oklahoma City's baseball history. As the second century of baseball in Oklahoma City begins, the Oklahoma RedHawks continue the tradition of playing superb baseball in the "The Little Show," with perhaps another future major league all-star or two honing his skills before a capacity crowd at the Brick.

Oklahoma's influence on baseball in America is phenomenal. One of every ten of the 14,000 men who have played major league baseball since 1876 have come through Oklahoma. Many of the diamond heroes were born in or died in Oklahoma while others played sandlot, college, or minor league baseball in the Sooner State. Some of the names of the Oklahoma baseball players are legendary ... Mickey Mantle, Warren Spahn, Carl Hubbell, Lloyd and Paul Waner, and Dizzy and Daffy Dean. Others are more obscure ... Cat Clanton of Antlers struck out in his only major league at-bat. Lefty Goodell of Muskogee pitched three innings for the 1928 White Sox. Cal Browning of Burns Flat pitched two-thirds of an inning for the 1960 Cardinals. Some of baseball's most intriguing personalities with colorful nicknames such as Allie "Super Chief" Reynolds, Harry "The Cat" Brecheen, Joe "Burrhead" Dobson, Pepper "Wild Horse of the Osage" Martin, Roy "Peaches" Davis, Dorrell "Whitey" Herzog, and "Bullet Joe" Rogan, cut their baseball teeth in Oklahoma. The baseball immortality of Oklahoma players is preserved on the pages of the official record books: Mike Marshall's 106 appearances in 1974; Joe McGinnity's 44 complete games in 1903; Jim Gentile's five grand slams in 1961; Jake Beckley's 23,696 putouts; and Gus Weyhing's 286 hit batsmen, a record that has stood for 97 years and is likely to endure through the next millennium. Oklahoma and baseball are inseparable. The players and their stories are woven permanently into the fabric of American life.

Throughout life, most of us have the privilege of coming in contact with certain people who live exceptionally and set inspiring examples in everyday life. This spiritual journal is dedicated to the memory of a young man named Justin Sullivan who did exactly that: He lived an exceptional life and set an incredible example for other people. Justin graduated third in his class at Yukon High School in Yukon, Oklahoma, where he was not only an honor student, but also an honor athlete. Justin had a strong desire to bring glory to the Lord in every aspect of his life. He was named Baseball Player of the Year for the State of Oklahoma on June 2, 2002, and was tragically killed in a freak car accident the following day on his way home from work. Even though his life was short, Justin taught people what it meant to walk with God. The truth is that he lived a life worth following, and his legacy will carry on for generations to come. His example in life, his impact on people and his personal discipline together created a life that truly made a difference to all those who crossed his path.
