10-A Webster-Kirkwood Times January 22 - 28, 2010

by Dennis HannonThe St. Louis Cardinals were in a

sorry state in mid-summer 1980. Over the course of a decade, a combination of athletic old age and front office mismanagement had stripped the team of its star players, leaving a residue of talented but self-absorbed brats and one large albatross (Bobby Bonds). The team was rudderless, spiritless and gutless; its fans were in despair.

Enter Dorrel Norman Elvert “Whitey” Herzog.

Whitey Herzog took command of the Cardinals, first as field manager, and then as general manager. He quickly invoked the Branch Rickey principle of addition by subtraction, dis-inviting Bobby Bonds to spring training. Then, with panache that stills holds seam-heads in thrall, he set about redirecting the course of the Cardinal franchise, bringing change more profound than any field manager (who was not also an owner) ever had achieved in the history of baseball. In belated recognition of this remarkable accomplishment, Herzog was elected Dec. 7 to the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Looking back on all of this now, over a Reuben sandwich at Schneithorst’s, Herzog is understandably sanguine. Fresh from his morning workout, he is trim, jovial and just as cocky as he was

when he hit town nearly 30 years ago. The details of the myriad transactions he used to rebuild the Cardinals into a winner (and then rebuild them when players left for higher paychecks) are perfectly fresh.

For example, he recalls perfectly the names and the sequence in which he acquired and dispatched two

dozen players (one of them, Rollie Fingers, now in the Hall of Fame, was both acquired and dispatched) in his legendary frenzy of wheeling and dealing at baseball’s winter meetings of December 1980.

He also recalls how, with guts, guile and a gambler’s luck, he took those players, along with sundry other

fauna in Cardinals uniforms, and turned them into Lonnie Smith, Ozzie Smith, Willie McGee and Jack Clark – the stuff of three pennants.

If time and official adulation have made any change in Herzog, it might be a newly conspicuous mellowness that has not necessarily always been part of his public persona. For example, Herzog recalls Don Denkinger – the man who fans say wrecked the Cardinals’ chance to win the 1985 World Series with a horrendous call in the 9th inning of Game 6 – as “a very good young umpire” when Herzog knew him when managing the Kansas City Royals in the 1970s. Herzog even gave Denkinger a gold watch. He gave the watch in appreciation of the now-retired umpire speaking at a dinner function (though the numbers on face of the time piece were etched in Braille).

Likewise, no word of criticism is elicited from Herzog at the mention of Billy Martin, despite his being one of the most abrasive figures in baseball history, and the man who purloined Herzog’s job as manager of the Texas Rangers in 1973. Martin also led Yankee teams that stymied Herzog’s Royals in the 1976, 1977 and (under Bob Lemon) 1978 American League playoffs.

Nevertheless, the memory now is that “Billy and I were pretty good friends,” said Herzog. “I think I managed 139 games against him, and his teams beat us 70 times and my teams beat his 69 times.”

Feb. 13 Event Educates Women On Heart Disease


by Marty HarrisFive years ago Kirkwood resident

Loretta Seltzer, a retired Affton High School teacher, decided to join an exercise class.

“I wanted to exercise my left knee. It was going arthritic and the doctor said the best thing for it was exercise,” said Seltzer, who is in her early 70s.

Seltzer found a class at Concordia Lutheran Church, conveniently located across the street from her home. The class, now called Fit and Be Fit, is sponsored by Martha Rounds and meets on Monday and Wednesday mornings from 10 to 11 a.m.

“God must have sent this – an exercise class less than a block away,” she said. But she admitted she did have a few reservations.

“My first thought was that I was in my 60s and I thought all the women were much older – what would we have in common?” she said. “I’m up for anything so I thought I’d try the class for a year and see what the doctor said.

After that first year, Seltzer not only got a good report from the doctor but she got to know the “girls” in the class, most of whom are in their 70s, 80s and even a few in their 90s.

“When people exercise, they talk about their husbands, their aches and pains,” Seltzer said. “Pretty soon

we began to get together outside of exercise class.”

Now the ladies not only exercise together, but they celebrate each other’s birthdays, go out to dinner and do seasonal events such as a Christmas and spring luncheon.

They also look out for one another. “If somebody doesn’t show up

for class, we normally know ahead of time, but if we don’t they worry about it during class,” said Alane Frankenfield, the class instructor for about eight years.

When Kirkwood resident Joyce Carlson, 84, had a heart valve replaced three years ago, Seltzer was at the hospital sitting with her.

Last week Seltzer’s husband fell and broke his hip. Seltzer received phone calls from classmates plus daily calls from classmate Conchi Dominguez to find out how her husband was doing.

“It means a lot to me,” Seltzer said. Other participants feel the same

way. “This class has such a camaraderie

and love for one another,” said Carlson, who has been exercising for 40 years.

“I really like the class,” said Marilee Steger, who has been in the class since about 2003. “I come more for the socializing. “It’s like another

group of friends. You see the each week and keep track of each other.”

“Lifestyle Exercise”Frankenfield also enjoys the class

and its activities. But she takes her role as an instructor for these senior ladies seriously.

“My goal is to work with them as far as lifestyle to keep them in their homes,” said Frankenfield. She called the class more of a “lifestyle exercise.” The class starts off in chairs with stretching, using weights for osteoporosis, working on balance, lower body strength and coordination, plus slow aerobics.

About 18 women are enrolled in the class – some come only on Monday or Wednesday. On a recent Monday, 10 ladies did the chair exercises, lifted their weights and then stood beside the chairs doing lunges and squats. Throughout the class could be heard a few comments: “You’re really working us today,” “It’s like you’re relentless,” a few students commented to the instructor.

But when Frankenfield asked if they wanted aerobics, the ladies said “yes.”

Alice Clark of Kirkwood, who’s in her 90s, however, decided to sit out the aerobics, saying it made her heart beat too fast.

“I think it’s good exercise and there’s a lot of pretty interesting women,” Clark said, taking a break while others did aerobics. She said she also enjoys the outings.

“You’re not sitting around at home. That’s deadly,” she added.

A Social NetworkWith some of the participants

getting older – in the mid to upper 90s, they aren’t able to come to class any more, but still enjoy the social activities, noted Marilyn Keil. At 71 she’s one of the youngest in the class. She started exercising with the class about 12 years ago when she had a

knee done and the class met at St. Joseph Hospital.

Keil of Valley Park, also praised the teacher.

“We feel lucky to have her,” Keil said.

Frankenfield, who has been teaching exercise for 19 years, would welcome new participants.

“It’s (exercise) important – something older people need to do for health and well being,” said Frankenfield, whose mother Carol Fisher attends the class. Frankenfield grew up in Kirkwood and now lives in Ballwin.

“As people get older their group of friends gets smaller. This is one way to get them out and in an environment where they can socialize and don’t end up homebound,” Frankenfield said.

NORCSeltzer would like to see the social

and caring network she has found through this class expand to what she called a “naturally occurring retirement community” (NORC). Her mother-in-law, 97, is involved in such a program in Creve Coeur where she lives. NORCs are organized groups of seniors and others who enable seniors to stay in their homes. Some groups even receive some government help, Seltzer said.

For now, Seltzer finds inspiration from the women.

“It’s a very uplifting to see women in this stage of their lives exercising physically and moving the way they should be,” Seltzer said. She said people think when someone is in their 80s or 90s, they should almost be in a wheelchair.

“I feel very good when I leave (class),” Seltzer added.

Anyone interested in joining the Fit and Be Fit class can come to class located on the first floor at Concordia Lutheran Church, 505 S. Kirkwood Road.

Alane Frankenfield leads participants in the Fit and Be Fit class as they stand beside their chairs doing lunges. The women’s ages range from 70s to 90s.

He does point out, however, that “I didn’t have the payrolls Billy had” under George Steinbrenner, the Daddy Warbucks of baseball.

Ironically, Herzog will be inducted into the Hall of Fame in July alongside another nemesis, umpire Doug Harvey, with whom he frequently staged pyrotechnical arguments at home plate.

Harvey, who never has acknowledged seeing any irony in the nickname Cardinals players gave him (“God”), was in the habit of forming his own weather reports, often in contradiction to those promulgated by the National Weather Service, Herzog recalled.

On one memorable occasion at Shea Stadium in 1987, with the Cardinals and Mets fighting for the division flag, Cardinals pitcher Joe Magrane threw a wild pitch to give the Mets the lead. Herzog implored Harvey to stop play until a cold, drenching rain abated, “and he had the nerve to tell me that I wouldn’t be complaining if we weren’t behind,” said Herzog. “Can you imagine that? I told him we wouldn’t be behind if my pitcher hadn’t slipped on a wet mound and thrown the ball into the screen.”

Pressing his point too far, Herzog was instructed by Harvey to avail himself of the indoor shower facilities while his team continued to play (and ultimately win) in the shower outdoors.

Herzog’s only comment on the formerly rancorous relationship was that “Doug was a good umpire, but the lousiest weatherman I’ve ever seen.”

Herzog did not always object to

being tossed from a game. Retired umpire Bruce Froemming tells a story of a game at Busch Stadium on a sunny day preceding an open date, in which the Cardinals’ manager persistently yipped from the dugout about calls on balls and strikes – an offense that brings automatic ejection. When Herzog ignored warnings to button his lip, Froemming ran him out of the game.

After the game, Froemming says Cardinals announcer Jack Buck informed him that the bass were biting in western Missouri, and Herzog was half way to the lake before the game had ended.

As he signed the lunch tab at Schneithorst’s, Herzog acknowledged the truth of Froemming’s story.

“We were losing the game, I think 6-2, and I told him, why don’t you kick me out so I can go fishing,” Herzog recalled. Froemming obliged.

Herzog says he retired to St. Louis after living for decades in the Kansas City area, in large part, because of the good quail hunting nearby and proximity to the strip pits he loves to fish in his native southern Illinois. His Kansas City hunting buddies seemed to be losing interest in shooting, “so I just said to my wife (Mary Lou), if you don’t mind, I think we ought to move to St. Louis.”

Mary Lou agreed, on the condition they move to Sunset Hills.

“She’s the one who picked it,” Herzog said. “And you know you can’t build a home some place your wife doesn’t want to live.”

We will say amen to that, and thanks for lunch, Whitey.
