History

[edit]

Early minor league teams

[edit]

Waterbury first hosted minor league baseball in 1884, when the "Waterbury" team began a tenure of Waterbury teams that played primarily in the Connecticut State League between 1884 and 1912. The team was first named the "Indians" for the 1897 season. The 1897 Indians were managed for part of the season by Baseball Hall of Fame member Roger Connor who continued as the manager of the 1898 Waterbury Pirates.

The Waterbury Brasscos and Waterbury Nattatucks teams played as members of the Eastern League from 1918 to 1928. The Nattatucks immediately preceded the Colonial League Waterbury Timers teams in minor league play.[1]

Waterbury Timers

[edit]

Waterbury resumed minor league play in 1947, when the Waterbury "Timers" began play in the reformed six-team, Class B level Colonial League, hosting home games at Municipal Stadium.[2][3] In the era, Class B was the equivalent of today's Class AA level minor leagues.[4][1] The Bridgeport Bees, New London Raiders, Port Chester Clippers, Poughkeepsie Giants and Stamford Bombers teams joined with Waterbury to begin league play in the Class B level league on May 7, 1947.[5]

(2018) Former Waterbury Clock Company complex. Waterbury, Connecticut. National Register of Historic Places.

The Waterbury "Timers" nickname corresponds to local history and industry. The Waterbury Clock Company was based in Waterbury from 1894 to 1944.[6] The company was purchased and moved to Middlebury, Connecticut and evolved to become the Timex Corporation.[7]

1947 83–38 record first place manager James Acton Waterbury. 14.5 games ahead of second place Poughkeepsie.[8] Won League the pennant and lost in first round 4 games to 3 to eventual champion Samford.[1] Frank Lamanna led the Colonial League with both 21 home runs and 123 RBI. Waterbury pitcher Mike Kash won 20 games to lead the league.[1]

1948 season 65–68 record third place under player/manager Mike Kash. 18.0 games behind first place Port Chester in the regular season standings.[9] Lost in first round of the playoffs 4 games to 1 to eventual champion Port Chester.[1] Waterbury's Aldo Casadei led the Colonial League with 157 total hits.[1]

Bert Shepard was named as the Waterbury manager in 1949. Shepard took the position, stating he wanted to manage because, "Always before I’ve had a manager who was afraid to take a chance on me. Now, it’s up to me. Every fourth day when I make up the lineups, that ninth man is going to be B. Shepard, pitcher."[10]

A rising minor league player, Shepard returned to baseball after having been injured in combat while serving as a pilot for the US Army 55th Fighter Group during World War II.[11] Shephard was piloting a Lockheed P-38 Lightning fighter returning from a mission over Hamburg, Germany on May 21, 1944, when his plane was shot down by enemy gunfire. The gunfire hit and pierced Shephard's right leg and foot and also his chin, rendering him unconscious as his plane crashed. Shephard was captured by German troops who held off German citizens intent on killing Shepard. Doctors at the Meiningen Prisoner of War camp amputated his injured right leg.[12] In February 1945, Shephard was returned after a prisoner exchange and was sent to Walter Reed Army Medical Center where he fitted with a new prosthesis. Shephard began pitching again. On July 10, 1945, was the first the starting pitcher for the Washington Senators against the Brooklyn Dodgers in an exhibition in his only major league appearance. On August 4, 1945, Shepard became the only major league player to play with a prosthetic leg when he pithed a perfect inning of relief for the Senators in a game against the Boston Red Sox/[13]

Shepard was at Walter Reed Hospital in the winter of 1949, where his leg had been re-amputated for the fifth time. There he saw an ad in The Sporting News for the managerial position with the Waterbury Timers. He submitted his application in the mail from the hospital.[14]

1949. Record of 62–63. Fourth place. Playing under manager Bert Shepard the team had compiled a record of 42–46 when a managerial situation became an issue. Upon joining Waterbury as player/manager, Shepard had suggested to be paid a salary of $1 for the entire season, with the stipulation he receive $400 for each pitching victory he earned as a pitcher. He eventually agreed to a salary of between $4,000 and $4,500 for the season. In August, the franchise claimed it could no longer afford his salary and Shepard was removed as manager. Player Leo Eastham compiled a record of 5–4 in his absence. The Waterbury players threatened to go on strike after Shepard's removal and wanted him reinstated. The situation was settled when a player’s committee raised enough money from local merchants to pay Shepard to return as manager for the rest of the season.[15][16]

Bert Shepard then returned for a (15–13) record. 18.0 games behind first place Bristol in the final regular season standings.[17] as a pitcher, Bert Shepard compiled a 5-6 record with a 6.16 ERA.[18] Qualified for the four team playoffs. The Timers lost in first round 4 games to 1 to eventual champion Bristol.[1] Player and briefly manager Leo Eastham led the Colonial League with 26 home runs.[1]

Shepard worked for IBM Typewriters in 1950 and 1951, before returning to pitching in 1952, playing through 1955.[19][20] Shepard married, became an engieer and won the national amputee golf championship twice.[21]

1950 season was short, as the Class B level Colonial League disbanded on July 16, 1950. Record of 23–39 fifth place under managers John Morris (13-16), John McKenna and Charlie Bowles. At the time the Colonial League folded, the Timers were 16.5 games behind Poughkeepsie.[22] The Colonial League never reformed.[1]
