We feature a look at two more legends, college baseball coach Rod Dedeaux and filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock.
On June 16, 1951, the 37-year-old Dedeaux and the University of Southern California Trojans baseball team was in Omaha, Nebraska playing the Tennessee Volunteers in the College World Series. It was USC’s first trip to Omaha for the College World Series.
In 1951, Hitchcock turned 52 years old. As “The Master of Suspense,” Hitchcock would have been the ideal director for the 1951 National League pennant race. His latest success, “Strangers on a Train,” had its Hollywood premier on June 30.
Stories feature “Alfred Hitchcock: The Art of Making Movies” at Universal Studios Florida, Hitchcock’s “The White Shadow”, Eva Marie Saint, the National Recording Preservation Board of the Library of Congress, Stan Freberg, and Death of a Salesman.
