Harold SCHACKER Obituary
went to heaven on Oct. 2, 2015 at age 90, leaving behind his wife, Martha; and their three children, Kerri Atkins, Brian and Dale Schacker and their wives; and grandchildren, Kaila and Luke. He served his country in the military during World War II and then met Martha while playing professional baseball. Harold played throughout North and Central America and made it to the majors with the Boston Braves. Later he coached youth baseball teams in New York and Florida. Born in Brooklyn, NY, Harold moved his family to Florida where he secured a U.S. Post Office job until retirement. Harold loved his home and family and lived in Tampa for over 50 years. He was an avid supporter of the Rays, Lightning and the Buccaneers. His parents Rebecca and Samuel raised three boys in Brooklyn during the depression era, and now have relatives across the United States. We miss and love you and look forward to seeing you again and hope there's a baseball team in heaven.

Harold took over managing my pony league baseball team when I was 13. Our previous coaches had to quit when our team was 0-6, so Harold volunteered. We started his 1st game down 7-0 but at some point we started to hit. We won that game, our first, and went on to finish the season's 1st half respectably. Then we finished the 2nd half in 1st place! When I asked some forty years later, he told me he made us use lighter bats, and just made a few extra changes. Don't tell me the manager doesn't matter. Thanks, Dad

I'm emailing from Canada but wanted to say that I had contacted Hal over thirty years ago and at that time he answered questions regarding the time he'd spent in baseball. That year Hal had pitching for St. Petersburg in the Florida International League was a good one (20-7).
