COLLEGE BASEBALL HALL OF FAME - CLASS OF 2008

The 1974 Goldpanner season ended on Labor Day in Kamloops, B.C., Canada, as the team needed three wins to climb out of the loser's bracket to win the International Tournament.  Floyd Bannister won all three games that day and was named the most valuable player of the tourney to cap a brilliant season.

In his first Goldpanner season Floyd was 11-3 and had a nifty 2.84 ERA.  He also led the club in strikeouts with 98 in 95 innings.  This spring at Arizona State University Floyd became the nation's strikeout leader and took a 14-3 record with 175 strikeouts in 125 innings into the College World Series.   The 6-01 left-hander enjoyed a sensational high school career at Kennedy in Seattle where he went 15-0 and did not allow an earned run in 112 innings as a senior.  Floyd also played on two championship Senior Babe Ruth League teams, Stoen-Kassuba of Seattle, which won the national tournament one year and finished third his other season.   In the latter season Floyd was named the most valuable player in the national tournament.

SON BRIAN

"Every day, it seems, is Father's Day at the National Baseball Congress World Series. Jarek Krukow, the son of former Wichita Aeros pitcher Mike Krukow, who went on to a successful career with the Chicago Cubs and San Francisco Giants, played for the San Luis Obispo (Calif.) Blues, who have been eliminated.

Right-handed pitcher Brian Bannister of the Santa Barbara (Calif.) Foresters is the son of ex-big league pitcher Floyd Bannister, who pitched in the World Series for the Fairbanks (Alaska) Goldpanners in 1974.

Brian Bannister had appeared in two tournament games before Monday, pitching 4 2/3 innings and allowing one earned run." - Bob Lutz, Wichita Eagle, 8/14/01
