  • Ritual in the “Church of Baseball”: Suppressing the Discourse of Democracy After 9/11 Michael L
    Communication and Critical/Cultural Studies Vol. 2, No. 2, June 2005, pp. 107–129 Ritual in the “Church of Baseball”: Suppressing the Discourse of Democracy after 9/11 Michael L. Butterworth Baseball was among the most prominent American institutions to respond to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Tributes at ballparks across the country promised comfort to millions in shock but soon developed into rituals of victimization that affirmed the Bush administration’s politics of war, discouraged the expression of dissenting opinions, and burdened the nation with yet another disincentive to reflect constructively on its response to terrorism. This essay views the aftermath of 9/11 as a quasi-religious social drama in which ballpark tributes became a ritualized vehicle for a belligerent patriotism that sought unity at the expense of democratic discourse. Keywords: Baseball; Democracy; Patriotism; War on Terrorism; Rituals of Victimization On October 12, 2003, the Chicago Cubs and Florida Marlins played in the fifth game of baseball’s National League Championship Series. Thousands of Chicago fans, hoping to see their team end a 58-year World Series drought, made their way to Miami’s Pro Player Stadium and provided loyal and raucous support for the visiting Cubs. When the game reached the seventh-inning stretch, Cubs fans enthusiastically began singing “Take Me Out to the Ballgame,” but they were quickly silenced by the stadium’s public address system and the remaining fans who belted out “God Bless America” instead. One fan in a Cubs hat and jersey lamented, “Come on, it’s a baseball game!” Only after the public display of patriotism had subsided were Cubs fans able to perform their song.1 Michael L.

  • Reinventing a Once Fallen Hero By: Austin Rader
    Reinventing A Once Fallen Hero By: Austin Rader July 19, 2019 — In the late 20th century, America’s pastime had hit a low point. The 1994 strike was still on everyone’s mind. Attendance was down; TV ratings were dipping. And fan bases were leaving for faster paced sports. Major League Baseball was desperately hoping for a generational talent to help re-invigorate its fans similar to Michael Jordan in basketball. The Beginning In 1996, a 21 year old Alex Rodriguez from Tampa, Florida, the greatest prospect the game has ever seen, took center stage as the shortstop for the Seattle Mariners. And boy did he provide the spark that baseball needed. The smooth shortstop could hit for power effortlessly sending balls into the seats. He could also make jaw-dropping plays in the field. A cool part of the A-Rod story in the MLB is who he played the game with; in Seattle his teammates included future hall of famers Ken Griffey Jr., Edgar Martinez, and Randy Johnson. The young A-Rod was able to learn from all of these greats. Especially Edgar Martinez who taught him the mental side of hitting and what his approach should be on each pitch. “One of the toughest phone calls I ever made was calling Edgar to tell him I was signing with the Texas Rangers,” Rodriguez once stated. Fall From Grace We all know what happened next. After an NLCS loss to the Yankees in 2000, A-Rod signed the biggest contract in sports history at the time (10 year $252 million) with the Texas Rangers.
