Earvin “Magic” Johnson - Co-Owner Dayton Dragons<br />

Earvin "Magic" Johnson was one of the greatest players in the National Basketball<br />

Association over the last half century. He contributed to five NBA championships, an<br />

NCAA championship, an Olympic gold medal team, and was named NBA Most Valuable<br />

Player and one of the 50 greatest players of all-time. He was inducted into the Basketball<br />

Hall-of-Fame in 2002.<br />

Born in Lansing, Michigan, the sixth of ten children, he led his Everett High School team to<br />

the Class A championship during his senior year of high school. After graduation, Johnson<br />

moved on to Michigan State University, and as a freshman, he helped the Spartans win the<br />

1977-78 Big Ten Championship. The following year, he led his team to the NCAA Championship game, a highlyanticipated<br />

matchup with College Player of the Year Larry Bird. Johnson's team won convincingly, and he was<br />

named Most Valuable Player in the NCAA Final Four. In 1979, after his sophomore championship year, Johnson<br />

made himself available for the professional draft and was the first player picked. He went to the Los Angeles<br />

Lakers, a mediocre team at the time. He was an all-star as a rookie and helped guide the Lakers to their first championship<br />

since 1972, honored as MVP of the NBA finals. During his 13-year career, he led the Lakers to five NBA<br />

championships and nine appearances in the finals. He was the NBA MVP in 1987, '89, and '90. He played in 11 allstar<br />

games, was named MVP of the finals three times, was a nine-time First Team all-league selection, and concluded<br />

his career as the NBA's all-time career assists leader.<br />

Following his retirement, Johnson became very active in causes outside of basketball, including the United States<br />

National AIDS Committee, the United Negro College Fund, the Muscular Dystrophy Association, the American<br />

Heart Association and the Urban <strong>League</strong>. Johnson has served as Vice President of the Lakers since 1994. He also<br />

serves as Chairman and CEO of Magic Johnson Enterprises and Chairman/Founder of the Magic Johnson<br />

Foundation, which has awarded more than $1.1 million to community organizations focused on AIDS prevention.<br />

Archie Griffin - Co-Owner Dayton Dragons<br />

Team Ownership<br />

Griffin, a member of the College National Football Foundation Hall of Fame, Rose Bowl<br />

Hall of Fame, the Ohio State University Sports Hall of Fame and the Columbus Public<br />

Schools Hall of Fame, has won virtually all the top honors any single athlete could win in<br />

college football. Griffin is the only two-time winner of the prestigious Heisman Trophy. He<br />

was a three-time All-American in 1973, 1974 and 1975. He was named Big Ten Most<br />

Valuable Player for two straight years, thereby becoming only the second athlete in history<br />

to accomplish this feat. He was named "College Football Player of the Year" by both United<br />

Press International and by the Sporting News. In 1975, Griffin was a recipient of the<br />

NCAA's Top Five Award. This award is the top honor an undergraduate can receive and is<br />

based on a combination of athletic skill, academic accomplishment, leadership and character. Griffin broke nearly<br />

all the Ohio State rushing records during his days as a Buckeye, and set national marks and Big Ten marks, both for<br />

a single season and for a career. He also holds another rare distinction; he was named captain of the 1974 Ohio State<br />

football team, and his teammates renamed him to captain of the 1975 Buckeyes. Graduating a quarter early, Griffin<br />

earned his college degree in industrial relations. In 1976, he was a first round draft choice of the Cincinnati Bengals,<br />

served as co-captain and played with that franchise for eight years. As a professional, Archie continued his illustrious<br />

football career by ranking among the top NFL rushers with a 4.1 yards per carry average. He also commanded<br />

respect throughout the league as a very adept pass receiver. Griffin returned to his alma mater in March 1984, and<br />

later accepted the position of Special Assistant to the Director of Athletics in June of 1985. In July of 1987, he was<br />

named Assistant Director of Athletics. In April of 1994, he was named Associate Director of Athletics. His duties<br />

included overseeing 14 sports. In October of 1999, his jersey, #45, was retired in front of a record crowd in Ohio<br />

Stadium. He was the very first Buckeye to receive this honor. On January 1, 2004 Archie Griffin became President<br />

and CEO of the Ohio State University Alumni Association. In addition to that title in February of 2010 he was<br />

appointed OSU’s Senior Vice President for Alumni Relations.<br />

Delino DeShields- MANAGER<br />

DeShields returns for his second year as Dragons manager<br />

after leading the club to a franchise-record 83 wins (83-57)<br />

and a second half Eastern Division title in 2011. With the<br />

youngest team in Dragons history, the club improved dramatically<br />

over the course of the season, finishing the first half at<br />

35-35 before posting a 48-32 record in the second half. Their<br />

second half mark was the best ever in a half for a Dragons<br />

team and the top second half record in 2011 in all of <strong>Minor</strong><br />

<strong>League</strong> <strong>Baseball</strong> among teams playing a split-season format.<br />

The Dragons were the only minor league team to lead their<br />

league in batting average and earned run average in 2011,<br />

and the first Midwest <strong>League</strong> team to lead in both categories<br />

in 16 years. The Dragons were just the second MWL team since 1969 to lead the<br />

league in runs scored and fewest runs allowed. Under DeShields, they also led all<br />

of professional baseball in stolen bases in 2011. DeShields will enter his fourth season<br />

in the Reds organization in <strong>2012</strong>. He served as manager of the Billings Mustangs<br />

in 2010 and was the hitting coach at Billings in 2009.<br />

PLAYING CAREER - DeShields spent 13 years in the Major <strong>League</strong>s with the<br />

Montreal Expos, Los Angeles Dodgers, St. Louis Cardinals, Baltimore Orioles, and<br />

Chicago Cubs. He finished second in the National <strong>League</strong> Rookie of the Year voting<br />

with the Expos in 1990. His best season came in 1997 with the Cardinals when he<br />

batted .295 with 11 home runs, 55 stolen bases, and a league-leading 14 triples.<br />

DeShields finished in the top three in the league in stolen bases six times during his<br />

career (10 times in the top eight) and ranks among the top 50 all-time in career stolen<br />

bases with 463. He batted .290 or higher in five different seasons of his big league<br />

career. DeShields was originally signed as a first round draft pick in 1987 (12th overall<br />

selection) by the Expos out of Seaford High School in Delaware. He was slated to<br />

play college basketball at Villanova (point guard) before selecting a career in baseball.<br />

DeShields' oldest son, Delino DeShields, Jr. was the eighth overall selection of the first<br />

round in the 2010 draft and signed with the Houston Astros.<br />

<strong>2012</strong> Dayton Dragons


Tom Browning - Pitching Coach<br />

<strong>2012</strong> Dayton Dragons<br />

Browning joins the Dragons after spending the last five years<br />

as pitching coach with Reds’ short-season affiliates. Browning<br />

began his coaching career in 2007 as pitching coach with the<br />

Billings Mustangs of the Pioneer <strong>League</strong> and returned to<br />

Billings in 2008. In 2009, he was the pitching coach with the<br />

Gulf Coast <strong>League</strong> Reds in Sarasota and moved to the the<br />

Goodyear Reds in the Arizona <strong>League</strong> in 2010-’11.<br />

PLAYING CAREER: Browning is best known for firing the<br />

only perfect game in Reds history when he retired all 27<br />

Dodgers he faced in a 1-0 win on September 16, 1988. At the<br />

time, it was only the third perfect game<br />

of at least nine innings in modern<br />

National <strong>League</strong> history and no Reds<br />

pitcher has thrown a no-hitter since that<br />

night, 23 years ago. Browning spent 12<br />

years in the major leagues from 1984-<br />

'95, with 300 of his 302 career appearances<br />

coming with the Reds. He won at<br />

least 14 games six times in a sevenyear<br />

period from 1985-'91. His best<br />

year came in ‘85 when he went 20-9 to<br />

become the first rookie in 31 years to<br />

win 20 games. In 1988, Browning went<br />

18-5 for the Reds, finishing second in<br />

the National <strong>League</strong> in winning percentage.<br />

He was the starting and winning<br />

pitcher for the Reds in game three of the 1990 World Series against the Oakland A's,<br />

helping the Reds to a four-game sweep. That same post-season, he had also started<br />

and won game two of the N.L. Championship Series against the Pittsburgh Pirates.<br />

Browning represented the Reds in the 1991 all-star game. His 298 starts with the<br />

Reds are the most for any Cincinnati pitcher over the last 70 years and fourth most in<br />

club history. He was elected to the Reds hall-of-fame in 2006.<br />

BATTERS ATTERS<br />

20<br />

The Dragons enjoyed a milestone season in 2011.<br />

They garned national attention when they broke the<br />

all-time sports record for consecutive sold-out dates<br />

on July 9, registering their 815th straight sell-out.<br />

The event was covered by CNN, ESPN, the New<br />

York Times, Sports Illustrated, the Wall Street<br />

Journal, and hundreds of other media outlets.<br />

Dragons owners Magic Johnson and Archie Griffin<br />

and former Dragons (current Reds) Drew Stubbs,<br />

Chris Heisey, and Logan Ondrusek were part of a<br />

special celebration on July 23.<br />

On the field, the Dragons set a franchise record with<br />

83 wins and won the second half division title by<br />

going 48-22. They lost in the first round of the playoffs<br />

to Lansing, two-games-to-one. The Dragons<br />

became the first Midwest <strong>League</strong> team in 16 years<br />

to lead the league in both team batting and team<br />

pitching, setting club records in both categories.<br />

They were just the second MWL since 1969 to lead<br />

the league in both runs scored and fewest runs<br />

allowed. Dragons pitchers broke the league record in strikeouts.<br />

Perhaps the most memorable element of the Dragons 2011 season was the base stealing exploits of shortstop<br />

Billy Hamilton, who swiped 103 bags on the year to break the Reds organizational record. Hamilton<br />

and relief pitcher Drew Hayes were selected as full-season Midwest <strong>League</strong> All-Stars. Starting pitchers<br />

Josh Smith and Daniel Corcino and first baseman Dominic D’Anna represented the Dragons in the MWL<br />

All-Star Game and Smith led the league in both victories and strikeouts.<br />

Billy Hamilton - The Dragons electrifying switch-hitting shortstop<br />

led all of professional baseball in stolen bases and became the first<br />

minor league or major leaguer to top the century mark in 10 years<br />

when he finished with 103. Hamilton broke the all-time Cincinnati<br />

Reds organizational record for single-season steals and broke the<br />

Dragons team mark before the end of May. He was selected as a<br />

Midwest <strong>League</strong> full-season all-star. Hamilton hit just .233 in the first<br />

half but improved to .318 in the second half to finish at .278. He also<br />

led the league in runs scored and finished second in base hits. Despite<br />

committing 39 errors, he made dozens of spectacular plays in the field<br />

that left fans in amazement. <strong>Baseball</strong> America named him the # 2<br />

prospect in the league following the season.<br />

Ronald Torreyes - Standing just 5’7” and weighing just 145 lbs.,<br />

Torreyes became a fan-favorite at Fifth Third Field, finishing the year<br />

with a batting average of .356. He tied the club record with five hits<br />

in a game on July 21 after picking up four hits the night before, going<br />

9 for 10 in consecutive games. Defensively, he was spectacular at second<br />

base and committed just three errors in 67 games. His arrival<br />

from extended spring training coincided with the team’s improvement<br />

to become the top second half club in <strong>Minor</strong> <strong>League</strong> <strong>Baseball</strong>.<br />

Donald Lutz - Raised in Germany with a limited baseball background,<br />

Lutz emerged as one of the most improved players in the<br />

league and finished the year with one of the best offensive seasons in<br />

Dragons history. He joined 2000 Dragons outfielder Austin Kearns as<br />

the only Dayton players ever to hit at least .300 and belt at least 20<br />

home runs in a season. Lutz finished at .301 with 20 HR and 75 runs<br />

batted in. He hit .340 in the second half after finishing the first half<br />

at .257. On the July 21, he became the first Dragons player ever to hit<br />

for the cycle. His 16-game hitting streak was the team’s longest on<br />

the year and he also belted the Dragons only grand slam in 2011.<br />

2011 Season Review


BATTERS ATTERS CONT ONT’D<br />

PITCHERS ITCHERS<br />

Drew Hayes - One of the top quarterbacks in Tennessee high school<br />

football history, Hayes enjoyed a dominant year as the Dragons closer.<br />

He was rewarded by being selected as the right-handed relief<br />

pitcher on the Midwest <strong>League</strong>’s Full-Season All-Star Team. He was<br />

also selected by <strong>Minor</strong> <strong>League</strong> <strong>Baseball</strong> as the Relief Pitcher of the<br />

Year for the Single-A level. Hayes appeared in 51 games for the<br />

Dragons, notching a league-leading 22 saves in 23 opportunities. He<br />

went 2-2 with a 1.35 earned run average and held opposing batters to<br />

a combined average of .141. In 60 innings, he allowed only 29 hits<br />

while striking out 89. In both May and August, Hayes was selected<br />

as the Dragons Pitcher of the Month.<br />

2011 Season Review<br />

David Vidal – The Dragons slick-fielding third baseman put<br />

together an outstanding all-around season. He led the team in<br />

runs batted in with 85 and tied for the team lead in home runs<br />

with 20 while batting a solid .280. Vidal also led the league in<br />

fielding percentage at third base. Vidal’s best day came on June<br />

18 when he tied a club record by driving in seven runs at Fort<br />

Wayne. Twice, Vidal hit two home runs in the same game (both<br />

also against Fort Wayne). He started 126 of the Dragons 140<br />

games, second only to Billy Hamilton on the club.<br />

Josh Smith - As an unheralded 21st round draft pick in 2010 out of<br />

Lipscomb (Tenn.) University, Smith enjoyed a record-breaking year<br />

for the Dragons in 2011. He established a club record for single-season<br />

strikeouts, notching 166 in 142 innings. Smith led the Midwest<br />

<strong>League</strong> in victories, going 14-7 with a 2.97 ERA. He was the starting<br />

pitcher for the Eastern Division team in the MWL All-Star Game in<br />

June. Smith had a dominant first half, going 7-3 with a 1.59 ERA in<br />

13 starts, allowing more than two earned runs in only one of the 13.<br />

On May 21, Smith struck out 13 batters in a game, one short of the<br />

club record. He struck out 12 over six innings on April 29. For the<br />

year, Smith made 26 starts, walking two batters or less in 23.<br />

Daniel Corcino - Compared by many to former Dragons pitcher<br />

Johnny Cueto, Corcino joined Smith in the Dragons starting rotation<br />

and the Midwest <strong>League</strong> All-Star Game. He went 11-7 with a 3.42<br />

ERA for the year and his 156 strikeouts would have broken the club<br />

record if not for Smith’s total of 166. Corcino was great at home,<br />

going 10-2 with a 2.05 ERA in 16 starts at Fifth Third Field. His best<br />

start of the year came on May 18 vs. Great Lakes when he allowed<br />

only one hit over six scoreless innings and struck out 11. Nine times<br />

in 26 starts, Corcino did not allow an earned run. Corcino started and<br />

won the Dragons playoff opener against Lansing on September 8,<br />

allowing two runs in six innings.<br />
