1981 HILLSBOROUGH HIGH SCHOOL YEARBOOK WITH SEVERAL NOTABLES
Another nice collectible for your consideration. You are looking on a 1981 Hillsborough High School Yearbook with future MLB pitchers Dwight Gooden, Floyd Youmans and Vance Lovelace, plus teacher Ann Cook, who is now a noted author.. This product is for a 1981 Hillsborough High School Yearbook (Tampa, Florida), titled "Hillsborean." Several future notables are found in this yearbook. Dwight Gooden is a Junior and Vance Lovelace is a Senior. I am unsure what class Yeoman is in, although he is likely a Junior. Ann Turner Cook is a Writing and Literature teacher. There is a student index in the back, but it for the most part lacks page number reference. So the page reference below only refers to photos I could identify. Gooden is shown in his High School uniform throwing the baseball (page 146), in a small baseball group photo...I think the team's pitchers (page 146), in another small baseball group photo...maybe the starters? (page 146), and another small baseball group photo (page 146), in the Varsity Baseball Team group photo (page 147). Youmans in the Varsity Baseball Team group photo where his name is misspelled "F. Yeoman" (page 147). (There is no Yeoman in the student directory). Vance Lovelace (Senior) is shown in his High School uniform throwing the baseball (page 146), in a small baseball group photo...I think the team's pitchers (page 146), in the Varsity Baseball Team group photo (page 147). Ann Turner Cook is shown in a portrait on page 148 and a behind the desk photo on page 149. This is a class photo of a girl cut out on page 289. The other side of this photo of the school, so nothing else was bothered. There are no student or staff signatures in the book. The spine seems a little loose but binding seems fine. All pages are present and the like. See my other products for more high school yearbooks featuring future sport legends, political stars, celebrities (or pre-celeb's) and notables.
Former professional baseball pitcher Dwight Eugene Gooden was born November 16, 1964 in Tampa, Florida. The New York Mets selected Dwight Gooden in the 1st round (5th pick overall) in the 1982 MLB Draft out of Hillsborough High School (Tampa, Florida). After one season in the minors, where he led the Class-A Carolina League in wins, strikeouts and ERA, Gooden made his Major League debut on April 7, 1984. Gooden exploded into the Majors at age 19 with a 98 MPH fastball and sweeping curveball. Nicknamed "Dr. K" ( in reference to the letter "K" being the standard abbreviation for strikeout), which became shortened to "Doc". Gooden won 17 games his '84 rookie season and earned the NL Rookie of the Year. He won eight of his last nine starts; in his final three starts of the 1984 season, he had 41 strikeouts and 1 walk. Gooden led the league with a rookie record 276 strikeouts and set the MLB record for most strikeouts in three consecutive starts with 43. In 1985, Gooden pitched one of the most statistically dominating single seasons in baseball history. With 24 wins, 268 strikeouts, and a 1.53 ERA (the second lowest in the live ball era) Gooden earned the major leagues' pitching Triple Crown. From his second start in 1984, through the end of the 1985 season, Gooden's ERA never rose above 2.00. For his efforts, Gooden was named the 1985 NL Cy Young Award winner and the 1985 TSN Picher of the Year. Gooden played for the New York Mets (1984-1994), the New York Yankees (1996-1997, 2000), the Cleveland Indians (1998-1999), the Houston Astros (2000), and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays (2000). He was a 4-time All-Star selection (1984-1986, 2000), a 1992 Silver Slugger and a 3-time World Series Champion (1986, 1996 & 2000).
Former professional baseball pitcher Vance Odell Lovelace was born August 9, 1963 in Tampa, Florida. The Chicago Cubs selected Vance Lovelace in the 1st round (16th pick overall) in the 1981 MLB Amateur Draft. Lovelace made his Major League debut on September 10, 1988 with the California Angeles and played for the Angels in 1988 and 1989 and the Seattle Mariners in 1990. Lovelace is currently the Director of pro scouting and special adviser to the general manager for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Former professional baseball pitcher Floyd Everett Youmans was born May 11, 1964 in Tampa, Florida. The New York Mets selected Floyd Youmans in the 2nd round of the 1982 MLB Amateur Draft. Youmans made his Major League debut on July 1, 1985 and played for the Montreal Expos from 1985 to 1988 and the Philadelphia Phillies in 1989. Youmans pitched one-hitters on June 8 and July 8, 1986 and finished third in the National League in strikeouts.
Mystery Author and childhood model Ann Turner Cook was born in 1926. The daughter of cartoonist Leslie Turner, a five-month-old Ann was used as the model for a charcoal drawing by neighbor Dorothy Hope Smith. In 1928, when Gerber announced it was looking for baby images for its upcoming line of baby food, Smith's drawing was submitted and subsequently chosen. The drawing of Ann Turner Cook has been used on all Gerber baby food packaging since. Cook attended the University of South Florida and other post-secondary schools, where, studying education and English journalism, she earned several degrees, including a master's degree in English Education. She taught at one of Florida's several elementary schools named Oak Hill, and then at Madison Junior High School, in Tampa, Florida. In 1966, she joined the English Department of Hillsborough High School, also in Tampa. After retiring from teaching, Cook became a mystery author. Her books include Trace Their Shadows, Shadow over Cedar Key, and Homosassa Shadows.
