Career
1936-37 Indianapolis Kautskys (MBC)



Pro Basketball Encyclopedia has him listed as George Butler (1920-1994), but it doesn't fit. That George Butler went to Decatur HS, graduating in 1938. I doubt he played professionally for Kautskys at age 16 while still in high school. That George Butler went to Butler after World War 2, but played baseball and not basketball.

1938-39 Hilgemeier Packers - Indianapolis (Independent) 


Player is listed on some encyclopedias as Ray Bottema (1920-1980) of Indianapolis. Although Ray did play basketball for a year at Butler after World War 2, he would have only been 15 years old when he signed with the Kautskys in 1935, so I found it highly unlikely this is the correct player. (He would have been a sophomore in high school at the time, and that makes little sense.) Ray wound being a dairy farmer, and died of a heart attack in 1980.

So who is this Bottema player?

An article in the December 19, 1938, issue of the Indianapolis Star mention a basketball player named Herm Bottema playing for the Hilgemeier Packers. The article also mentions his teammates included Cy Proffitt, who also played on the MBC's Kautskys, as well as Leo Crowe, who played for the Kautskys when they joined the NBL in 1937-38. Another box score from a different game mentions Harlan Wilson, who also played for the Kautskys in the MBC. All the evidence leads to this player being Herm Bottema and not Ray Bottema.

Grate was a star athlete in high school, playing basketball, baseball and football. He went to Ohio State, playing basketball and baseball there. After graduating, he signed with the Philadelphia Phillies and was called up to the club by the end of the season. After two brief stints in the major leagues, he suffered an arm injury that ended his time as a pitcher. Always a decent hitter, he tried his hand as an outfielder. He did well, but not well enough to return to the major leagues, and quit baseball in 1957.
Grate used basketball as a way to stay in shape in baseball's off-season. In October of 1946, he signed with Chicago of the BAA, but apparently did not play. A year later, he joined up with Indianapolis in the NBL, but was released by the club in December of 1947. Later played with Sheboygan in the NBA.

Grate held the record for the longest throw of a baseball, with a 445 foot throw that stood as the record for 50 years.

He was married to Marjorie Hanner and they had a son and a daughter.
