elected clerk of the Pima County Superior
Court, a position he held for twenty years.
Jim Corbett was born in Los Angeles, California to
a Tucson pioneering family. His grandfather, W. J. Corbett, opened the first
hardware store in Arizona Territory in 1878. His great-uncle J. Knox Corbett was
mayor of Tucson from 1914 to 1917. Hi Corbett Field, the baseball park located at the largest
park in Tucson, Reid Park, was named after his uncle,

Alvin Ralph Dark (January 7, 1922
– November 13, 2014), nicknamed "Blackie" and "The
Swamp Fox", was an American professional baseball shortstop and manager. He played
fourteen years in Major League Baseball (MLB)
for five National League (NL)
teams, from 1946 through 1960. Dark was named the major leagues' 1948 Rookie of
the Year after batting .322 for
the Boston Braves. Dark
was an All-Star for
three seasons. He hit .300 or more three times while playing for the New York
Giants, and became the first NL shortstop to hit 20 home runs more than once. Dark’s .411 career slugging average was
the seventh-highest by an NL shortstop at the time of his retirement, and his
126 home runs placed him behind only Ernie Banks and Travis Jackson. After leading the NL in putouts and double plays three times each, he ended his career with
the seventh most double plays (933) and tenth highest fielding percentage (.960)
at shortstop in league history. Dark went on to become the third manager to win

have also achieved the feat.)
