Topic: Johnny Keane


  
  Mclane & Wong - Articles: Bob Keane
Johnny Crawford is probably best known as the Mark McCain character (Chuck Conner's son) on the TV show "The Rifleman" ('58-'63).
Keane's offices were next to a bank at Vine and Selma in the heart of Hollywood (Casey Kasem later occupied that same office!).
Keane put a group together to record the song, consisting mainly of singer Randy Pierson, an unknown, who Keane had "picked up in the rain one night hitchhiking on the freeway." Jimmie Haskell arranged the song and it was recorded at Goldstar Studios in Hollywood.

 CNN/SI - 1998 MLB Postseason - 1964 World Series
Keane was well aware that since August 24 Gibson had started 12 games for St. Louis, pitched nine complete ones and in two others went eight innings—ample evidence of his strength and courage.
There was even cynical speculation that Keane had been promised the job before he quit St. Louis, but Johnny was categorical: "No one on the Yankees has talked to me. Mayo Smith, who scouts for them, was in St. Louis near the end of the season, and it's possible he was looking me over.
More bizarre than Keane's quitting, however, was the firing of Yogi Berra for reasons given as "being best for everyone." Despite efforts to justify this on the ground that Berra had lost control of his players, it seems obvious that he was fired because the Yankees lost the World Series.

Johnny O’Leary was born in 1924 in Maulykeavane which is about half-way between Killarney and Ballydesmond, in the centre of Sliabh Luachra.
Johnnys version of this tune, which he learned from Jack Sweeney, is a great example of how a simple tune from one tradition can be so elaborated in another as to become almost unrecognisable.

Keane gave him tickets, he said, because the baseball man knew Henry's father had a brain tumor.

 The Kingdom - 2004/07/08: Soccer: Keane grabs Listowel a lifeline
Connolly Park were smarting from last week’s defeat at the hands of Rattoo Rovers in the Greyhound Bar KO Cup semi-final but they knew Listowel Celtic, who could field virtually all their A team, were going to be no pushover and so it transpired.
Instead of consolidating their lead, Connolly Park failed to put Listowel away as Celtic fought back and in the 72nd minute Johnny Keane was at the end of a cross from Rahilly to fire home.
Listowel continued to attack as Connolly Park lost their way and in the 80th minute the sides were level when Keane dived full length to direct a header beyond Moriarty, after the keeper had saved his initial effort.

 Red Smith on Pepper Martin | BaseballLibrary.com
-- Johnny Keane, a Cardinal from his first day in baseball until he managed the world champions 32 years later, was reminiscing about last year's struggle for the National League pennant when Joe Reichler, of The Associated Press, came into the Yankees' dugout.
In a baseball sense, the towns where Keane had played -- Globe, Ariz., Waynesboro in the Blue Ridge league, and Springfield, Mo. -- were a million light years from Sportsman's Park.
But as a kid in St. Louis Johnny had been a card-carrying member of the original Knothole Gang, sitting in left field and screeching, "We want a homerrr!" whenever Rogers Hornsby and Chick Hafey or Jim Bottomley went to bat.

 Plan 9 Music: 9x Online Review: Keane - Hopes & Fears
Falling somewhere between Chris Martin’s lush musicality and Travis’ playful melodies, the piano-based balladeers have emerged as the “next big thing” says the UK press, which seemingly makes such broad-stroke statements on a regular basis with impunity.
Invariably, the lynchpin of Keane is vocalist Tom Chaplin, who frequently draws comparisons to Gay Dad vocalist Cliff Jones with a smooth, theatrical and rich style that aurally entices on tales of lost love and personal despair.
Still, the Coldplay attention could work in Keane’s favor, similar to how the Stone Temple Pilots originally gained interest when listeners confused the band’s debut album material with that of Pearl Jam.

 The Kingdom - 2003/04/30: Soccer: Fenit and Listowel must meet again
Listowel lost Johnny Keane in the first half through injury, which did not help their cause, and with Declan Leahy looking rusty at midfield after a long lay off it was left to Tommy Sweeney, Kevin Beasley and Alan Keane to keep Fenit at bay when they applied the pressure in both halves.
Fenit began well with Moloney and McCarthy raiding down the flanks while Johnny McCarthy and Terence Crean were not afraid to attack from the full-back positions, and this meant that Listowel were under pressure from the start.
Straight from the kick-off, play swung to the other end as Mike Moloney sent in a cross and as Kieran O'Sullivan attempted to head the ball back to his 'keeper Ray Curley intercepted it and his shot was brilliantly saved and turned behind by Carey for a corner.

Yogi was fired, and replaced by Johnny Keane who managed the St. Louis Cardinals during the 1964 World Series.
The Yankees were also purchased by CBS, who would only serve to fail the Yankees championship legacy during their period of ownership, as the Yankees 40-year streak of winning seasons came to an end with a disappointing 77-85 record that landed them in 6th Place.
