Saskatchewan Baseball Hall of Fame honours Sherman Cottingham
For Sherman Cottingham, the road to induction into the Saskatchewan Baseball Hall of Fame started with a foul ball. He first fell in love with the game after picking up a wayward ball that flew outside the boundary of a ball park in Louisiana, where he grew up. He traded the ball for admission to the park, where he started watching the pitcher, Cottingham told Saskatoon Morning host Stephanie Massicotte. "And what fascinated me was that the ball would come up to the batter and it appeared to just, like, fall off a table, go straight down," he said. After the game, that pitcher agreed to show Cottingham how the trick was done. The rest is baseball history. Cottingham eventually became a teacher, but spent his summers playing baseball. He made it onto the legendary Kansas City Monarchs in the final years of the Negro American League (1961-1962), then was recruited by the great Satchel Paige to play for his All-Star team in 1963. The All-Star tour brought him up to Canada, where the owner of the North Battleford Beavers made an offer that turned Cottingham into a Saskatchewan treasure. He told CBC he only recalls encountering overt racism once during his time in the province, when a man called him the N-word while he was eating breakfast at a restaurant, and "it was squished right away by the owner of the restaurant and I had no further issues." The owner escorted the man out and apologized, Cottingham recalled. "I really enjoyed my stay in Canada. It was quite an experience, just lovely." Cottingham's time with the Beavers "not only showcased his exceptional athleticism but also highlighted his role fostering inclusivity, sportsmanship and community engagement," the Saskatchewan Baseball Hall of Fame said in a news release about his induction. "His talent drew admiration from fans, and his sportsmanship made him a beloved figure in North Battleford." Cottingham, who now lives in Michigan, was the guest speaker at the Hall of Fame induction dinner in Battleford on Aug. 16. People who reach this level of recognition leave a legacy behind them, and baseball teaches them valuable lessons, he told CBC, "because even the most gifted individual cannot carry a team alone. And it reminds us of the beauty of hope, that no matter the score, until the last out, the game is never over."
