  • An Introduction to Baseball in Austin and Marcusen Park
    An introduction to Baseball in Austin and Marcusen Park. From 1937 to 1953, the Southern Minny League largely dominated in the state baseball tournament. During those years, the Southern Minny’s post-season tournament champion1 won the state tournament at either the A or AA level twelve times. Only once did the Southern Minny’s representative fail to place first or second when Austin dropped a first round game in the tournament in 1939. Despite the phenomenal success of Austin’s program particularly in the post-World War II era, baseball in Austin did lead a bit of a vagabond life. At times, there simply was no home for baseball at all and others no dedicated home. Even so, Austin has hosted many historic moments, players and teams. The first of which is reflected on the back of this Ted Williams baseball card. The referenced no-hitter in Austin triggered much of my interest in researching baseball in Southern Minnesota. John Donaldson actually lost the game with the no-hitter intact due to an error (or two). This game is believed to have taken place in Lafayette Park. If elected to the Hall of Fame in 2020, Donaldson will join Burleigh Grimes, Jose Mendez and Satchel Paige as the known Hall of Fame members to have played in Austin. 1. The Southern Minny held a post-season tournament to determine the state representative. Speaking of Burleigh Grimes: Became available when Minnesota-Wisconsin League disbanded on July 1, 1912. “Grimes, a new recruit, was on the rubber and won himself a berth with us.

There is no woman whom I love more than my mother, I am light enough so that baseball men told me before I became known that I could be passed off as a Cuban. One prominent baseball man in fact offered me a nice sum [$10,000 in 1917] if I would go to Cuba, change my name and let him take me into this country as a Cuban. It would have meant renouncing my family. One of the agreements was that I was never again to visit my mother or to have anything to do with colored people, I refused, I am clean morally and physically. I go to my church and contribute my share. I keep my body and mind clean. And yet when I go out there to play baseball it is not unusual to hear some fan cry out: ‘Hit the dirty nigger.’ That hurts. For I have no recourse. I am getting paid, I suppose, to take that. But why should fans become personal? If I act the part of a gentleman, am I not entitled to a little respect?” - John Donaldson • Donaldson’s career spanned from 1908 to 1941 (33-years) he played for at least 25 different teams, including influential barnstorming clubs like the All Nations multi-racial team operated by Hall of Fame owner J.L.

  • African American Heritage Challenge One Cannot Understand Missouri
    African American Heritage Challenge One cannot understand Missouri history, life, and culture without looking to the state’s African American history. York, enslaved to William Clark, helped chart the course through Missouri for the Corps of Discovery. Debates about the institution of slavery and the future of enslaved and free Blacks shaped the Missouri statehood process, the resulting Missouri Compromise, and the landmark freedom suit of Dred and Harriet Scott set national policy. Missouri’s rich African American heritage is shaped by educators and entrepreneurs, artists and scientists, laborers and business leaders, athletes and musicians who lived, worked or grew up in Missouri’s borders. The African American Heritage Challenge is sponsored by The State Historical Society of Missouri, the premiere center for the study of Missouri history. The mission of The State Historical Society of Missouri is to collect, preserve, publish, exhibit, and make available material related to all aspects and periods of Missouri history. The Society also seeks to generate interest in and appreciation of the rich cultural heritage of the state and its people through education and outreach.

Deep rivalries were created among these teams and towns. These rival- ries were not spawned by greed for prize money, but by something even more basic — regional bragging rights. Typical of these town ball rivalries were two Iowa communities: Fort Dodge and Lehigh. Fort Dodge called itself a “baseball town.” Every Sunday, fans in this rural In addition to being one of the greatest southpaw pitchers of his era, Donaldson could swing the Iowa community plunked down two bat well enough to play outfield when he was unable to pitch.

  • Negro League No-Hitters
    Negro League Owners The following list identifies individuals who owned a Negro League team or high level black baseball team. It is important to note that in some cases the years listed may only be an approximation. Some individuals may have managed the team or been an officer for the team during the period listed, but at one time during the years listed they did actually own the team. In addition transfer of ownership of a team was not always well documented. This is especially true in the early years of black baseball. This list is no way to be considered complete. As research continues new names will be added to the list. Owner Team Year (s) W.R.

    DONALDSON NETWORK NEWSLETTER$ FEBRUARY 2011 The Donaldson Network It!s that time again when the Donaldson Network would like to update you on the latest news in the quest to uncover the lost career of John Wesley Donaldson. We were hard at work in 2010 and anxiously await the discoveries in 2011, which marks one hundred years since John Donaldson stepped away from his hometown of Glasgow, Missouri on a journey that would change baseball history. In this issue we will focus on the 1913 All Nations team that continues to provide astounding information. That season the All Nations were sponsored by P. Goldsmith!s Sons, a sporting"goods supplier from Cincinnati, Ohio. This issue includes breakthrough research on images surrounding this historically signi#cant ball club. Also within this issue an update to johndonaldson.bravehost.com, as well as our research update and a photo of a musical group that traveled with the All Nations. The Donaldson Network continues to uncover information on John Donaldson that once was thought to be lost forever.
