Chairman’s Letter Thanks to all who attended the Business of Baseball Committee’s annual meeting during the Louisville convention. Some developments from the convention: New Co-Chair. A hearty welcome to Claudia Perry, new Co-Chair of the Business of Baseball Committee. Claudia, who also co-chairs the Women in Baseball Committee, has held numerous SABR offices and is our only four-time Jeopardy champion. In real life she’s a pop music critic at the Newark Star-Ledger. Claudia can be reached at 311 York Street, Jersey City, NJ 07302, or at [email protected]. Proposed Business of Baseball Award. At our annual meeting, Don Coffin proposed that the Committee establish an annual award for excellence in research into the business of baseball. The award -- a cash prize of approximately $200, raised through sponsorship or donations -- would be given annually at the SABR convention. Don and I believe that such an award could raise the Committee’s visibility among academics and other non-SABRites researching in our field, attracting new members and encouraging non- members to send copies of their work to the Committee. Some details of Don’s proposal: • All research published or completed during the previous calendar year would be eligible. • Candidates need not be SABR members, and may be nominated by others or nominate themselves.

  • (ISNU) Became the First State University in Illinois After Governor William Bissell Signed a Bill on February 18 to Create a Normal School
    Historic Moments For Illinois State University 1857 Illinois State Normal University (ISNU) became the first state university in Illinois after Governor William Bissell signed a bill on February 18 to create a Normal school. Founder Jesse Fell had led the campaign to locate the University in Bloomington, Illinois; Abraham Lincoln drafted the legal documents to establish this university. Charles Hovey was named the first principal of the University. Forty-three students enrolled for the University's first term, which began October 5, 1857. Enoch Gastman, Jr. of Hudson was the first student enrolled. Classes were held at Major's Hall (third floor) on the corner of Front and East Streets in Bloomington, Illinois. A model school affiliated with ISNU was opened in November, with an enrollment of seven. 1860 Old Main, the University's first official building opened its doors. Located in Normal, Illinois, on the site of the current campus, it served as the campus' major building for nearly 100 years. The first commencement ceremonies were held for a graduating class of ten with an alumni meeting following the ceremony. 1862 Richard Edwards became the second principal in June. 1863 Alumni Association was founded. 1867 Jesse Fell was appointed to the governing board for Illinois State Normal University. 1868 Jesse Fell developed a landscaping plan which included a campus nursery. He supervised the planting of 1,847 trees. He had planted 13,000 trees on this acreage prior to the University's establishment. 1877 Edwin Hewett was named the third president and brought as a priority the establishment of a university library.

  • Umpire Stories
    So, You Want to Be an Umpire? David Vincent Modern umpires like to be invisible on the field and consider it a good day when no one remembers them after a game. There have been days, though, that are memorable ones. Here are some of those days. *** In 1882, National League Umpire Dick Higham, a former player, was expelled from the game for colluding with gamblers. He had been the first umpire to wear a mask on the field. Higham umpired his last game on June 22, 1882 in Buffalo. *** On June 19, 1896, the Chicago Colts (now Cubs) were in Cleveland to play the Spiders. The latter team was well known around the league for acting in a rowdy manner. In the seventh inning, Umpire Tom Lynch fined and ejected Cleveland Captain Patsy Tebeau, who refused to leave. Tebeau instead rushed at Lynch to assault the umpire but the two were separated by other players. Lynch refused to work the rest of that game and left the field. After a long delay, the game resumed with Chicago player Con Daily calling the pitches and Cleveland player Cy Young making the calls on the bases. Tebeau remained in the game and Chicago’s Cap Anson protested the game because Tebeau remained in the contest even though he had been ejected. Chicago won the game, 8-3, so the protest was not lodged. After the game, Lynch told a reporter: “I suppose I should not have permitted my indignation to get the better of me, but after all there are things that pass human endurance, and one of them surely is to be called vile names.” Lynch refused to work in Cleveland after that and did not until 1898.
