Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>I just got a note from the Bruces.....They sent over a Burdick article on T206's that is very good and was supposed to be in the first post in this thread, I assume. I don't want to spoil this particluar eloquently stated thread so will start a new one this evening with what the Bruces sent. It does look to be a very good article. They do start some interesting threads and for that we are appreciative....*(though we could do without the condescending nature of most)....regards

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Is that Robby Krieger?

[Archive]

Posted By: <b>Jodi Birkholm</b><p>Yeah. Have you seen Krieger lately? He really "pulled a Garfunkel" with that hair of his. That curly, springy male pattern afro has to be stopped. Coifs like that should not be seen this side of Bozo the Clown (may he rest in peace).

[Archive]

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Bozo died a few weeks ago.<br /><br />Krieger is an underrated guitarist. Listen to his solo on "Light My Fire" (maybe the greatest song of the 60's). Very clean, very powerful.<br /><br />Haven't seen him lately, but he was born with a bad hair day. It was bad in 1967.

Posted By: <b>Jodi Birkholm</b><p>This place always turns into a "message board for two" whenever we veer off into one of our classic rock/jazz tangents!<br /><br />I agree that Krieger's abilities should have garnered more praise. I'm sure you are already aware that he was originally trained as a classical guitarist, picking up the electric a mere few months prior to the release of the Doors' self-titled debut album. He has really managed to stay out of the spotlight since the early 1970's. He always struck me as a half-casualty to the psychedelic times he lived through. Some of us don't come back--half of Robby did! When asked for a quote for this thread, Krieger sent the following: "Now where did I put the rest of my personality? Oh, it's over there with Syd and Janis! Guess I won't be getting <i>that</i> back anytime soon!" <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

[Archive]

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>I wasn't aware Krieger was classically trained.<br /><br />I was fortunate to see The Doors twice, the first time on June 11, 1967 at the Village Theatre (soon to be renamed the Fillmore East), but I only got to hear one song, "Soul Kitchen", when my parents came into the theatre and yanked me out. Very long story, won't bore you with it. But they were at the peak of their powers then, and the entire concert featured them along with the Blues Project, the Chambers Brothers, Janis Ian, and Richie Havens. I will never forget it even though I missed the best bands.<br /><br />Sean Connery: I'll take Anal Bum Cover, Alex.<br /><br />Alex: That's An Album Cover, Mr. Connery.

Obit from Seattle PI <br /><br /><a href="http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/archives/1996/9611270008.asp" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/archives/1996/9611270008.asp</a><br /><br />SEATTLE RAINIERS' `OLD BAGGY PANTS' DIES<br />OUTFIELDER WAS TREND-SETTER; 11,000 AT BALLPARK WEDDING<br />BY ANGELO BRUSCAS P-I Reporter<br />Wednesday, November 27, 1996<br />Section: Sports, Page: D1<br /><br />Seattle baseball historians still remember the 1937 wedding when Arthur L. ``Mike" Hunt was married at home plate at old Civic Field in a ceremony witnessed by 11,000 fans of the then-Seattle Indians.<br /><br />Gov. Clarence D. Martin gave the bride away to the left fielder, who went on to lead the league in home runs and runs batted in.<br /><br />Next Monday, Hunt, 89, will be buried near the Ephrata home where he also was known as an easy-going, 28-year veteran of the Washington State Patrol. He died Monday in Federal Way.<br /><br />The popular cleanup hitter for the Indians and Rainiers of the Pacific Coast League also was nicknamed``Old Baggy Pants" and set a fashion trend ahead of its time in the 1930s when he wore his uniform down to his ankles.<br /><br />``He was the first ballplayer I ever knew who wore his pants down below his ankles," remembers former teammate Edo Vanni, who broke into baseball with the Seattle Rainiers when Hunt was in his 30s. ``That was his nature. He was a low-ball hitter, so he tried to get everyone to throw the ball down to him."<br /><br />Friends, fans and former teammates forever remember him as one of Seattle's most colorful athletes.<br /><br />On July 9, 1937, he married Charlotte ``Pat" Axelson in a wedding that was reported by former P-I Sports Editor Royal Brougham on the front page of the newspaper.<br /><br />``Arthur `Mike' Hunt, home run king of the league, took unto himself a wife last night, and 11,000 guests made it one of the most unusual and spectacular weddings in Seattle's history," Brougham wrote of the ceremony. `` . . . Women in sables rubbed elbows with their sisters in cotton prints, and all of them smiled, clapped hands and maybe cried a little as the pretty brunette took the square-shouldered six-foot-two slugger until death do us part."<br /><br />As a ballplayer, Hunt led the PCL in home runs in 1937 with 39 and tied for first with 30 in 1936. He also twice led the league in RBIs and batted .331 over 10 years in the PCL. During the 1937 season, the Indians were purchased by Emil Sick, who changed the name of the team to the Rainiers.<br /><br />Former Tacoma sports writer Jack Sareault, now a spokesman for the State Patrol, documented Hunt's career in 1992 for a special monthly newsletter. He noted that Hunt was known as one of the longest hitters of his time and most popular because of his appearance.<br /><br />``High school players started emulating him with those droopy pants," Sareault said. ``Of course, him being so tall made it look even droopier."<br /><br />Born in Santa Clara, Calif., Hunt started playing pro ball in 1927, and was with the San Francisco Seals in 1932 when the team's centerfielder was Joe DiMaggio. He was traded to Seattle in 1934 and quickly became one of the key hitters for the Indians, often batting fourth.<br /><br />In Hunt's last season with the Rainiers, the team won the first of three straight Coast League championships, but his average slipped to .259 and he hit only 15 home runs. When told he was being sold to Portland for the next season, Hunt refused to report and retired from baseball.<br /><br />``Some looked at Mike as one from the school of the highly individualist players," Sareault wrote.<br /><br />He that when Hunt went to work for the State Patrol in 1940, the former ballplayer had trouble adjusting to work without chewing tobacco.<br /><br />``The Patrol made me quit chewing tobacco," Hunt told Sareault. ``They didn't like it when I spit out the window and the wind splattered it on the side of the white truck."<br /><br />Before becoming a trooper, Hunt worked for the Patrol as a license examiner, and was stationed in Ephrata in 1952 after 12 years in the north Seattle bureau. He retired in 1968, and the couple lived in Ephrata until Charlotte died in 1989.<br /><br />He is survived by his son, Arthur Thomas Hunt, a daughter-in-law, Sandy Hunt, and three grandchildren.<br /><br />``He was really a personable guy," said Vanni, who was a rookie rightfielder in 1938 when Hunt already was a fixture in left. ``He never bothered anybody and he was a great hitter. He not only hit them out of Seattle's ballpark, he hit quite a few of them out of just about every ballpark he played in."<br /><br />``He was way ahead of his time," added Dave Eskenazi, a family friend.<br /><br />The Indians beat the Sacramento Senators 3-1 on the night Hunt was married. The best man, pitcher Clarence Pickerel, got the win and hit a home run to cap the celebration.<br /><br />``It was one of Seattle's most dramatic diamond spectacles," wrote reporter-broadcaster Leo Lassen.<br /><br />Graveside services will be 1:30 p.m. Monday at Ephrata City Cemetery.

Posted By: <b>Frank Wakefield</b><p>what a thread....<br /><br />Below is a card of the 1939 Seattle Rainiers. Mike Hunt is in the middle of the top row, hands on his hips, glaring at you guys for the comments you've made.<br /><br /><img src="http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j106/greatwake/1939Seattle.jpg"><br /><br />I sought this card after I interviewed George Archie for the oral history project. He was one fine gentleman. A really nice guy. Can't say enough about how nice he was. Interesting career he had. But for WW II and being jammed down in the Tigers system contrary to baseball rules, Mr. Archie would have had a memorable career.

Posted By: <b>Jodi Birkholm</b><p>Frank,<br /><br />I called up the Archie residence around March of 2001. I was passing through Nashville at the time. His wife picked up and gave me an excuse as to why George couldn't come to the phone...then Mr. Archie himself picked up. It was a really sad outcome. I had to politely hang up the phone in the midst of his incoherent babbling. I felt really terrible for calling.<br /><br />Jodi
