Luke Sewell

James Luther Sewell (January 5, 1901 – May 14, 1987) was an American professional baseball player, coach and manager. He played in Major League Baseball as a catcher for the Cleveland Indians (1921–1932, 1939), Washington Senators (1933–1934), Chicago White Sox (1935–1938) and the St. Louis Browns (1942). Sewell batted and threw right-handed. He was regarded as one of the best defensive catchers of his era.

Baseball career

Born in the rural town of Titus, Alabama, Sewell grew up wanting to play baseball, and graduated from the University of Alabama where, he played for the Alabama Crimson Tide baseball team as an infielder. He was linked to the Cleveland Indians because his brother Joe Sewell became their starting shortstop in 1920. When Indians scout Patsy Flaherty signed Sewell, he insisted that he play as a catcher. He began the 1921 season with the Columbus Senators in the American Association but, after only 17 minor league games, Sewell made his major league debut with the Cleveland Indians on June 30, 1921.

One look was all it took and everything was said my darlin'
One look was all it took and you were in my head my darlin'
I stood there like an open book waiting to be read my darlin'
One look was all it took and you were in my head my darlin'
It's something so surreal
The stupid way you make me feel
When everything is said and done
Somehow you are still the one
Don't make me wait so long
To hesitate would be wrong
Don't make me wait so long
One day I think we may settle down together baby
One day I'll bet you'll say, there is nothing better baby
That day when you won't stay, some day becomes never baby
That day is far away, so I won't think about the maybes
It's something so surreal
The stupid way you make me feel
When everything is said and done
Somehow you are still the one
Don't make me wait so long
To hesitate would be wrong
Don't make me wait so long
Would you like a city by the sea
You could build a life with me
Don't think twice, I think it would be nice
A life of over-flattery
It's something so surreal
The stupid way you make me feel
When everything is said and done
Somehow you are still the one
Don't make me wait so long
To hesitate would be wrong
