  • Clips for 7-12-10
    MEDIA CLIPS – Jan. 23, 2019 Walker short in next-to-last year on HOF ballot Former slugger receives 54.6 percent of vote; Helton gets 16.5 percent in first year of eligibility Thomas Harding | MLB.com | Jan. 22, 2019 DENVER -- Former Rockies star Larry Walker introduced himself under a different title during his conference call with Denver media on Tuesday: "Fifty-four-point-six here." That's the percentage of voters who checked Walker in his ninth year of 10 on the Baseball Writers' Association of America Hall of Fame ballot. It's a dramatic jump from his previous high, 34.1 percent last year -- an increase of 88 votes. However, he's going to need an 87-vote leap to reach the requisite 75 percent next year, his final season of eligibility. Jayson Stark of the Athletic noted during MLB Network's telecast that the only player to receive a jump of at least 80 votes in successive years was former Reds shortstop Barry Larkin, who was inducted in 2012. But when publicly revealed ballots had him approaching the mid-60s in percentage, Walker admitted feeling excitement he hadn't experienced in past years. "I haven't tuned in most years because there's been no chance of it really happening," Walker said. "It was nice to see this year, to watch and to have some excitement involved with it. "I was on Twitter and saw the percentages that were getting put out there for me. It made it more interesting. I'm thankful to be able to go as high as I was there before the final announcement." When discussing the vote, one must consider who else is on the ballot.

    Dud Branom, “Millionaire First Baseman” ©DiamondsintheDusk.com On April 12, 1927, the New York Yankees beat the Philadelphia Athletics 8-3 in the season opener for both teams. In a game that features 11 future Hall of Famers, Dud Branom Debut it’s a little known 29-year-old rookie first baseman making his major league debut April 12, 1927 with the Athletics who is the wealthiest player on the field. A native of Hartshorne, Oklahoma, Edgar Dudley (Dud) Branom is already indepen- dently wealthy as his father-in-law is one of the Sooner State’s richest oil barons. Five years earlier, at the ripe old age of 24, Branom buys the Enid Harvesters of the Western (C) Association club prior to the start of the 1922 season. In addition to his financial interest in the Harvesters, Branom is also the team president, business manager as well as the on-the-field captain. On February 18, 1922, The Sporting News reports that, “Dud Branom has finally secured possession of the Enid franchise, the deal being completed when Branom, who was the property of the Kansas City Blues, secured his release on condition that he become financially interested in the Enid club. He will act as field captain and business manager, playing his old position of first base.” Under Branom’s ownership, the Harvesters prove to be an artistic, if not a financial, success finishing the season with a 104-27 mark and setting two minor league marks: fewest losses by a 100-win team and the highest winning percentage (.794).

Summary: The purpose of this paper is to highlight the importance of the Spanish language and the remarkable contribution to Major League Baseball by Spanish- American players. Keywords: baseball, sports, Major League Baseball, Spanish, Latinos Introduction The purpose of this paper is to highlight the remarkable contribution made to Major League Baseball (MLB) by players from Spanish America both in terms of © Clara González Tosat Hispanic Digital Newspapers in the United States Informes del Observatorio / Observatorio Reports. 016-12/2015EN ISSN: 2373-874X (online) doi: 10.15427/OR016-12/2015EN Instituto Cervantes at FAS - Harvard University © Instituto Cervantes at the Faculty of Arts and Sciences of Harvard University quantity and quality.1 The central idea is that the significant and valuable Spanish-American presence in the sports arena has a very positive impact on the collective psyche of the immigrant community to which these athletes belong. Moreover, this impact extends beyond the limited context of sport since, in addition to the obvious economic benefits for many families, it enhances the image of the Spanish-speaking community in the United States. At the level of language, contact allows English to influence Spanish, especially in the area of vocabulary, which Spanish assimilates and adapts according to its own peculiar structures. Baseball, which was invented in the United States during the first half of the nineteenth century, was introduced into Spanish America about thirty or forty years later.
