DUBLIN, Ohio (AP) — Whether it’s his health or his anställda life, Rory McIlroy is not easily distracted when he’s on top of his game.

Marlin Carter
Despite missing two of his prime seasons while serving his country during World War II, Marlin Carter played professional baseball for nearly a quarter-century in major and minor Negro Leagues. Nicknamed “Pee Wee,” the 5-foot-7, pounder threw right-handed and batted lefty. Primarily a third baseman, he also saw action at second base and shortstop, and often hit leadoff. Carter enjoyed his greatest success with the Memphis Red Sox and helped that club win its only Negro American League pennant in
Marlin Theodore Carter was born on December 27, , in Haslam, Texas, near the state’s eastern border with Louisiana.2 The town was named for Will Haslam, general manager of the W.R. Pickering Lumber Company. The Pickering mill opened shortly before Carter’s first birthday with a racially diverse workforce.3 Within two weeks, threats against the African Americans dwelling in the town’s segregated housing caused many of them to leave and – according to one report – cross the
