Sacramento City College Panthers

Foundation & OrganizationFounded in 1916 as a Department of Sacramento High School, Sacramento City College is the seventh oldest

public community college in California and the oldest institution of higher learning in Sacramento.In 1922, the citizens of Sacramento organized a junior college district by severing the connections between

the college and Sacramento High School. This plan of organization remained in force until 1936 when the college became a part of the Sacramento City Unified School District.

Twenty-eight years later, as a result of a March 17, 1964 election, Sacramento City College separated from the Sacramento City Unified School District to join the newly organized Los Rios Junior College District which assumed the operation of American River College and Sacramento City College. In 1970 the newly renamed Los Rios Community College District opened a third campus, Cosumnes River College. Folsom Lake College became the fourth fully accredited college in the District in 2003.

California State Champions1951 State Champions

The Panthers of 1951 won the first baseball state cham-pionship in Sacramento Junior College history with a season record of 29-3. The team, which was coached by Jack Woerner, had a 19-game winning streak that included a 14-1 defeat of the University of California. Pete Vartanian was the team MVP, while catcher John McNamara was the team captain. McNamara became a major league manager for 16 years, his career high-lighted a World Series appearance in 1986 as manager of the Boston Red Sox. Pitcher Tony Stathos had a 12-0 record and won the title-clinching game by a score of 7-5 over El Camino Junior College.

1953 State Champions Jack Woerner led the Panthers to their second champi-onship in 3 years as the team posted a 25-5 record. J.C. Masters pitched the Panthers to a playoff victory for the league title to advance to the state playoffs. Grant Tech (now American River) fell to the Panthers 15-0 and 5-2 as Sacramento Junior College captured the Nor Cal championship, as Masters pitched a 2-hitter and hit a home run in the opener and the team stole 13 bases. After losing the opener of the state championship, the Panthers came from behind twice to defeat Long Beach City College in a doubleheader to win the final series. Center fielder Norman Coons led the team in RBI, runs scored, hits, home runs, triples, and stolen bases in being named the team MVP. Masters was 11-1 with 79 strikeouts in 78 innings.

1988 State ChampionsWeinstein’s Panthers captured the third state cham-pionship in school history after going through the loser’s bracket at the state tournament and defeating top-ranked Rancho Santiago twice to win the title. The Panthers finished 46-10 and were led by Camino Norte Conference Player of the Year F.P. Santangelo, who led the state with 45 stolen bases. On April 28, 1988, the Panthers won the first game played in partially com-pleted Union Stadium, clinching their eighth straight Camino Norte Conference championship. Weinstein was named National Community College Coach of the Year.

1998 State ChampionsThe 1998 Panther baseball team posted a dominating record of 44-2 in winning the second state champion-ship under Jerry Weinstein and the fourth in school his-tory. The team lost the second game of the season and didn’t lose again until the second game of the playoffs - a streak of 37 straight wins, including a 26-0 record in the Bay Valley Conference. They swept through the rest of the playoffs, defeating Saddleback in the final game. Pitcher Mike Neu posted a record of 15-0, the most wins in school history without a defeat. Matt Riley, a freshman who posted an 8-1 record, signed after the season with the Baltimore Orioles for a junior college record signing bonus of $790,000.

1999 State ChampionsThe 1999 baseball team became the first Panther team since the 1982 football team to repeat as state champi-ons. First year coach Andy McKay guided the Panthers after Coach Weinstein resigned his coaching position to take a job with the Los Angeles Dodgers organization. After sweeping through the playoffs, the team found itself needing to win the final 2 games on the final day to win the championship. The Panthers won the first and then found themselves trailing in the bottom of the ninth inning of the final. After telling McKay that he was going to win a championship, shortstop Joe Thur-ston delivered a 2 run double with 2 outs in the bottom of the ninth inning and the Panthers were able to dog pile for the second straight year.

is walking a batter intentionally in playoffs to bring up Cory Vaughn with the bases loaded and then striking him out. He chose to attend Sac City College because it is the best and he wants to be the best – if you can’t make it here then you can’t play at the next level, so why go somewhere else that is easier?

Sports Information Director - Steve Gill Steve Gill is entering his 11th year with the SCC Athletic Department, and is currently the school’s Sports Information Director (SID), entering his 4th year in this role. His primary responsibilities include designing and maintaining all of the athletic web pages (and updating results to provide the most cur-rent information), and serving as the “Voice of the Panthers” as the P.A. Announcer for all home contests for football, women’s soccer, volleyball, men’s and women’s basketball, baseball and softball. Steve’s passion for sports announcing began in his senior year at Christian Brothers High School, where he announced the men’s basketball games for fun and that carried over to his

first year at Sac City (while red-shirting for baseball) when he announced all of the home baseball games for the Panthers. After his career ended at SCC, he decided to pursue his degree at Sac State and give up playing baseball so that he could announce here at Sac City, and he has been doing it ever since. His voice eventually would carry over to the hardwood as he was recruited to do the basketball games and finally he has become the “Voice of the Panthers.” Gill was a member of the 1998 Sac City Panthers National Championship baseball team that went 44-2 and was undefeated (26-0) in the Bay Valley Conference. After receiving his A.A. Degree from SCC, he went on to earn a B.A. Degree in Communications from CSU, Sacramento (2000). In addition to his SID duties, Steve finds time to have a full-time job at HP in Roseville, where he is currently a manger of a TSG Services Sales Team. Gill still plays baseball (from February to October) in the Sacramento Men’s Senior Baseball League (SMSBL) and during the summer he manages the Sacramento Legends, a wood bat baseball team in the Sacramento Premier Baseball League. In just their 5th season, he led the Legends to the 2006 Stan Musial World Series at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas. In October 2007 “Gilly” won a World Series Championship (his 2nd - the 1st coming with the Sacramento Braves in 2004) with the Sacramento Cardinals in Phoenix, AZ - earning co-MVP honors having tossed 3 consecutive complete games (the Quarterfinal, Semi-final and Championship games - 27 straight innings).

It was then we knew that by hook or by crook we could get the materials.

“The camaraderie that has grown around this proj-ect has been amazing, and the people involved have not been boisterous about their contributions.”

Although the project has been two years in plan-ning and is nearing completion after six months of construction, Weinstein sounds as though even he can’t believe it.

With a joyful bounce in his stride as he tours the construction site, Weinstein gleefully points out the location of the twin locker rooms, equipment storage, the laundry facilities, umpires’ room and what will be the plexiglass-enclosed “VIP” room behind home plate.

Seating comes next, Weinstein said, noting the possibility that some local baseball history may be enshrined in the new park with the installation of light towers that once illuminated old Edmunds Field, the Broadway home of the revered Sacramento Solons.

Listed among the firms that have donated time and materials for the 1,500-seat grandstand are Barsteel, Vela Steel, Golden State Erectors, Camblin Steel Ser-vice, Gayle Manufacturing, and Sacramento builder

Greg Lukenbill contributed much of the structural steel and rein-forcing iron.

The acknowledged driver behind the project is Mickey Mynsted, the easygoing business agent for the Iron Workers Union Local 118, who rallied the unions and others to the cause.

Brought on the scene at the behest of “a friend from one of the (American) Legion teams,” who asked him to help raise money, Mynsted said, “None of us realized this was going to grow

as big as it has.”The unions have used it to advantage as an ap-

prentice training program, and Mynsted said, “hun-dreds” of journeymen from the 12 unions involved have volunteered their services.

“Most of the work has been done on Saturday, but a lot of the guys are down here working every day in their spare time or between jobs,” he said.

Union Stadium“BALLPARK RISES ON LEAVEN OF FREE LABOR, MATERIALS”By Max MillerSacramento Bee Staff Writer

While Major League Baseball may be somewhere in the city’s future, a drive by Sacramento’s construc-tion industry, headed by 12 building-craft unions, is humming in concert toward completion of a $2 million community baseball stadium at Sacramento City Col-lege.

On the construction site, one could stand in the shade provided by the imposing physique of big Bill Meehan, as he recounts how the craft unions, from bricklayers and ironworkers to electricians and plumbers, have put out free-of-charge sweat, muscle and know-how to build the “miniature, big league” ballpark on the SCC campus.

Between well-aimed streams of tobacco juice, Meehan, the head of the Sacramento Building Trades Council, recounted recently how the unions “just want everybody to know that we’re not the bleep-bleeps a lot of people think we are.”

“It’s mind-boggling, what’s been done,” he said. There’s nobody in town that hasn’t contributed in some small way.

“We (the trade unions) came on board as soon as we were satisfied that this was going to be a community stadium that wouldn’t be used for profes-sional baseball.”

It’s description as “miniature major league” comes from Jerry Weinstein, the SCC Panther’s winningest baseball coach, who forecasts that the new, 1,500-seat facility on the campus at Free-port Boulevard and 12th Avenue will be the envy of every college - and some small cities across the country.

And Weinstein credits the backing of the Building Trades Council and the gener-osity of Sacramento building contractors and suppliers for the realization of his dream of a baseball stadium at SCC.

“Originally we figured that a $200-a-seat donation would have raised $300,000,” Weinstein said as he watched his vision transformed into what is estimated now to be nearly $2 million worth of skilled labor, concrete and steel.

“The key element was the labor unions who said, ‘We’ll come in and build it for you,’” the coach said.
