    MIAMI UNIVERSITY The Graduate School Certificate for Approving the Dissertation We hereby approve the Dissertation of Aaron W. Miller Candidate for the Degree: Doctor of Philosophy ____________________________________________ Erik N. Jensen, Director ____________________________________________ Andrew Cayton, Reader ____________________________________________ Kimberly Hamlin, Reader ____________________________________________ Kevin Armitage, Graduate School Representative ABSTRACT GLORIOUS SUMMER: A CULTURAL HISTORY OF NINETEENTH-CENTURY BASEBALL, 1861-1920 by Aaron W. Miller In the decades after the Civil War, Americans turned baseball, a fad from New York City, into their national obsession. Baseball’s apostles used the game’s Civil War experience to infuse it with militaristic, nationalistic, and patriotic themes. They mythologized the history of the game. Baseball’s explosive growth across the nation came with profound implications. Baseball formed a mass, united culture. Although Civil War soldiers played baseball to escape the dreariness and terror of life during war, the process of militarizing and imbuing the game with patriotic themes started even before the guns fell silent. As the sport spread nationally, it advanced a northern, middle-class vision of masculinity. Baseball shaped gender roles in the late nineteenth century. In the early days of baseball, women were important as spectators, yet the sporting culture lambasted their play. Of course, baseball also excluded racial minorities. Baseball’s promoters saw the game as a restorer of white masculinity, which many believed was atrophying. By the end of the dead-ball era, Americans thought that baseball was essential for national strength. Baseball helped reunify the nation after the sectional crisis. As Americans remembered the war, and baseball, in glorious military terms, they ignored the racial and political issues which drove the nation apart.

  • Big Leaguers in the ETO
    Welcome to the first edition of the Baseball in Wartime Newsletter for 2015. We’re starting the year with a rather over ambitious project—a record of major leaguers who served in the European Theater during World War II. The list includes 147 major league players, one manager, three coaches, four umpires, a broadcaster and 18 Negro League players. For the majority of these, I have included brief biographical sketches of their time in Europe which I hope you will enjoy. Future issues of the newsletter will look at players who served in the Pacific, the Mediterranean, the Atlantic and the United States. Researching WWII baseball is, and always will be, an ongoing project for me. If you can add any names to this list of players who served in Europe I would be very pleased to hear from you. I’d like to thank Ken Sulik for his assistance with information for this project. Big Leaguers in the ETO ore than 500 major league players Infantry Regiment, along with the 422nd, were swapped flannels for military uniforms encircled by enemy forces and cut off from the during World War II, and stars like Joe remainder of the 106th Infantry Division in the vicinity DiMaggio, Ted Williams and Stan Musial of Schonberg, Belgium. The two Regiments (6,000 M troops) surrendered to the Germans on December served their nation off the diamond. This issue of the Baseball in Wartime Newsletter looks at those who 19, 1944, in one of the largest mass surrenders in served in the European Theater, including no less American military history.

  • A History of the Presentation of American Football in England and Germany
    FROM VIOLENCE TO PARTY: A HISTORY OF THE PRESENTATION OF AMERICAN FOOTBALL IN ENGLAND AND GERMANY DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Lars Dzikus, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Melvin L. Adelman, Adviser Professor Sarah K. Fields Adviser Professor William J. Morgan College of Education ABSTRACT While scholars have widely discussed the cultural, economic, and political influence of the United States on Europe in general and Germany in particular, the realm of sports has received surprisingly little attention. This study ties in with the scholarly debate about Americanization and / or globalization that started in the first half the 1990s. It examines the presentation of American football in England from the 1890s through World War II as well as in Germany following the war to the present day. The study discusses what non-Americans wrote about football and what their countrymen and –women read about it. The study draws on English and German newspapers and magazines, particularly the London Times and the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. It also examines the role American military, radio, television, and movies played in the diffusion of American football. In the case of Germany, the researcher draws on extensive qualitative interviews with several of the “founding fathers” of American football in Germany as well as his own experiences in the sport. The work demonstrates that American football arrived in Germany on a field that had been prepared by a three-hundred-year process of imagining Amerika.

  • Baseball in the Olympics
    BASEBALL IN THE OLYMPICS by Pete Cava ©1991 This summer in Barcelona, baseball makes it official debut as an Olympic sport, four years short of a century since Baron Pierre de Coubertin revived the Games in Athens in 1896. Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear: As the good Baron pondered the possibilities of an Olympics with no cable television revenue, across the waves the National League was preparing for its 21st season as America’s top baseball circuit. While some 311 athletes from 13 nations convened for the Games, Ned Hanlon and the Baltimore Orioles were embarking on a third straight drive to the pennant. That year, Greece’s Spiridon Loues raced to the Olympic marathon title and Cleveland’s Jess Burkett took the N. L. batting crown. Baseball and the Olympics were as far apart as Tippecanoe and Timbuktu. For the next four score and seven seasons, that, for the most part, remained the status quo. Baseball was added as a demonstration sport at the Los Angeles games in 1984 and again at Seoul four years later. This was a prelude to baseball’s current status as a medal sport. Between Athens and Los Angeles, however, baseball has provided some of the more fascinating and underexplored corridors of Olympic history. Some historians include baseball as an exhibition or demonstration sport in the St. Louis Olympics of 1904. The Games were part of that year’s Louisiana Purchase Exposition, and virtually every amateur sporting contest in St. Louis from May to November was packaged as part of the fair or the Olympics.
