Life in the earliest civilizations included festivals involving sports contests. Following the death of Alexander the Great, sports became a professional entertainment for Greek spectators who would pay entrance fees to watch the contests.2 Undoubtedly, the spectators who filled the tiered stadia suffered injuries. A runaway chariot or wayward spear thrown in the Roman Coliseum likely impaled an onlooker sitting on the platforms (called spectacula, based on their similarity to the deck of the ship and the basis for the English word "spectator").

  • 1. Who Was the First Black Player for the Pirates? D. Curt Roberts Major
    1. Who was the first black player for the Pirates? D. Curt Roberts Major League Baseball recognizes Curt Roberts as the Pirates' first black player; however, Carlos Bernier of Puerto Rico, also a black man, debuted on April 22, 1953. 2. The Pirates played in the 1903 World Series which was the first modern World Series to be played in Major League Baseball. Who was their opponent? C. Boston Americans In 1903, Boston participated in the first modern World Series, going up against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Pirates were heavily favored as they had won the NL pennant by six and a half games. Aided by the modified chants of "Tessie" by the Royal Rooters fan club and by its stronger pitching staff, the Americans managed to overcome the odds, and win the best-of-nine series five games to three. 3. What was the original name of the Pirates? B. Pittsburgh Alleghenies The Alleghenies entered the National League on April 30, 1887 with their first game at Recreation Park, located at the corners of Grant and Pennsylvania Avenues along the Fort Wayne railroad tracks on the North Side. In 1890 the Alleghenies were renamed the Pittsburgh Pirates after "pirating" second baseman Louis Bierbauer away from the Philadelphia Athletics American Association team. 4. What year did Roberto Clemente make his debut with the Pirates? A. 1955 He debuted in the first game of a double-header against the Brooklyn Dodgers on April 17, 1955, wearing the uniform number 21. 5. How many homes have the Pirates had since 1887? B.

  • Wdam Radio's Greatest Baseball Hits
    THE MUSIC FAN'S SCORECARD TO WDAM RADIO'S GREATEST BASEBALL HITS It's a hit! WDAM Radio's "Greatest Baseball Hits" is the greatest roster of songs about baseball of ever assembled on one team of MP3 files! The WDAM Sports Department has scouted our famous Groove Yard (one of the largest collections of recorded music this side...or any side...of Cooperstown) to find the most major and minor league melodies you could ever imagine – from "America's Greatest Imaginary Station." In addition to these diamond discs and all-star anthems, our lineup also includes memorable play-by-play moments, just as you might have heard them on the radio. And in between innings, we pinch hit some selected baseball movie themes. You'll need a scorecard to truly enjoy this collection, so we have provided one, along with important stats about the songs, on the pages that follow.” These stats include the year, and for those recordings that actually made Billboard magazine's pop music charts, the highest position reached is designated by "#." Many of these selections are particularly rare (and they are labeled as such), so you won't find them at your favorite music source or sports store. Obviously, WDAM Radio's "Greatest Baseball Hits" is in a league of its own. All of us at the station hope you'll have as much fun with this collection as we did assembling it! Play ball!
