A very special day was celebrated and enjoyed by the NYGPS on Feb 25 at the annual Cactus League luncheon held in Peoria, AZ, as Ed Logan Sr., father of our own Ed Logan Jr., was inducted into the Cactus League HOF, Class of 2015. Ed Logan Sr. was recognized for his extraordinary contributions to the NY and SF Giants as clubhouse manager during spring training each year in AZ from 1947 to his retirement in 1979.
Mr. Logan’s HOF plaque was presented to Ed Logan Jr., the last bat boy of the NY Giants and NYGPS Member, who graciously offered an insightful and at times humorous acceptance speech on behalf of his dad.
In attendance at the induction were key members of the extended and close-knit Giants family: Chris Durocher, son of Leo Durocher; Jaime Rupert, granddaughter of long-time former owner Horace Stoneham; Roy McKercher, the Giants 1st batboy in 1958, the team’s first year in SF; Steve Rothschild, Co-President of the NYGPS as well as other members of the NYGPS based in the Phoenix area.
Also, as this date was the 96th birthday of NY Giants HOF outfielder Monte Irvin, the NYGPS members phoned Monte as a group to extend him our best wishes.
