He is stern ana rocklike in face and bearing umpire really has to be. Nevertheless, Henry is successful many just and equitable, nor does he fly off the handle as too umpires do when tie nagging gets too tropical. In fact, there are times when you can call Henry anything or almost ever- ythingand he won't penalize you but there are a few things that are his limit past them you must not go. Two or three years ago, on a burning, broiling August afternoon the Cubs were eneaeed in redhot battle with the 13 in Giants. Close plays and consequently close decisions were thick as leaves autumn; tempers were being badly frayed, ana the atmosphere was surcharged with trouble. After two or three innings of this stuff, the players on both sides began to take out their spite upon the umpires. They gave special attention to Hank O'Day, who was behind the plate. The batters averred that Henry gave the pitchers an area eight feet square to pitch in, everything within that distance being called a strike, ana the pitchers asserted that Henry wouldn't call a strike even if the batter swung upon it.

ABRAMS* "I want to thank you for making this day necessary" -Yogi Berra on Yogi Berra Fan Appreciation Day in St. Louis (1947) As we celebrate the enactment of the Curt Flood Act of 1998 in this festschrift, we should not forget the lessons to be learned from the legal events which made this watershed legislation necessary. Baseball is a game for the ages, and the Supreme Court's decisions exempting the baseball business from the nation's antitrust laws are archaic reminders of judicial decision making at its arthritic worst. However, the opinions are marvelous teaching tools for inchoate lawyers who will administer the justice system for many legal seasons to come. The new federal stat- ute does nothing to erase this judicial embarrassment, except, of course, to overrule a remarkable line of cases: Federal Baseball,' Toolson,2 and Flood? I.

  • Troy Baseball Legend, Evers
    Baseball Across New York Troy Baseball Legend, Evers By Craig Muder At 5-foot-9 and 125 pounds, Johnny Evers might seem out of place with the 200-pound infielders on today’s big league baseball diamonds. But in the first years of the 20th Century, the acrobatic Evers excelled at the “Inside Baseball” style of play that domi- nated the time – featuring bunting, stolen bases and hit-and- runs – and led his teams to four National League pennants and three World Series titles. Born in Troy, on July 21, 1881, Evers – a name that rhymed with “beavers” though he came to also accept the pro- nunciation that rhymed with “feathers” – made his big league debut at the age of 21 in 1902 with the Chicago Cubs. Evers established himself as the Cubs’ starting second baseman in 1903 – teaming with shortstop Joe Tinker and first baseman Frank Chance to form one of the best infield combinations of the era. In 1906, the Cubs dominated the NL from start to finish, winning 116 games against only 36 losses. The 116 wins have been matched since only by the 2001 Seattle Mariners, and no team has matched the Cubs’ .763 winning percentage of 1906. Evers hit .255 that season, but drove in 51 runs and stole 49 bases. His spectacular infield defense – combined with that of Tinker, Chance and the other members of the Cubs – resulted in Chicago allowing just 381 runs for the entire season. The Cubs lost the 1906 World Series to the White Sox but Johnny Evers won the Fall Classic in 1907 and 1908.

  • Baseball Actor Visits the 1940 Commodores
    Baseball actor visits the 1940 Commodores By Bill Traughber April 15, 2009 Joe E. Brown with the 1940 Vanderbilt baseball team Over the years I have written about many great non-Vanderbilt athletes to appear on the University’s campus. Athletes as Red Grange, Gale Sayers, George Halas, Dick Butkus, Jim Thorpe, Tris Speaker and the baseball Hall of Fame trio Frank Chance, Joe Tinker and Johnny Evers have recorded visits. During a spring workout in 1940, Joe E. Brown, a comedic actor, dropped by to visit the Commodores baseball team. It might not seem a big deal, but Brown would make a small contribution to “America’s Pastime” by attending ball games as a devoted fan while making movies about baseball. Brown was best-known in the early part of the 20th century for his baseball film trilogy Fireman, Save My Child (1932), Elmer the Great (1933) and Alibi Ike (1935). It was widely known in Hollywood of Brown’s enthusiasm for the game of baseball. He was persistently seen in the company of baseball players. The high school in his birthplace (Holgate, Ohio) dedicated a corner stone to its stadium. In the movie Fireman, Save My Child, Brown is cast as “Smokey” Joe Grant a small town fireman with a girlfriend, Sally (Evalyn Knapp). Grant’s pitching proficiency has earned him a spot on the St. Louis Cardinals roster. His character has invented a fire extinguisher that he says, “lets loose chemicals that’ll smother the blaze like a wet blanket.” While trying to sell his invention, Grant forgets that he is pitching in the seventh game of the World Series.

  • Advanced Rules (Pdf)
    Many gamers like to use more advanced game rules beyond what is often found in Official Instructions. These alternative rules are often referred to as “house rules.” Generally speaking, house rules are unofficial modifications to official game rules adopted by individual groups of players. House rules may include the removal or alteration of existing rules, or the addition of new rules. Such modifications are common in board games such as the Hughie Jennings EE-YAH! Baseball Game. Below are a few house rules for our game. We caution that these rules should only be attempted by someone who has an excellent understanding of the basic intricacies of the game. House rules also tend to increase the amount of time it takes to play a game so be mindful of that result. Moreover, if you are playing the game in competition with others, all parties must agree to any house rule modifications of the existing Official Rules. Finally, if you have additional house rules to suggest for inclusion please email us at [email protected] 1. PITCHER FATIGUE Some advanced game players like to factor in fatigue for a starting pitcher. In other words, the more innings a pitcher throws, the less his effectiveness. If you choose to use Pitcher Fatigue it is suggested you increase a Pitcher’s RANK by one in the 6th inning and by two in the 9th innings. For example, a pitcher RANK 7 would become a RANK 8 in the 6th inning and a RANK 10 in the 9th inning (if he is still pitching).

    http://www.MSCNews.net/news/index.cfm?nk=26044 Vintage Baseball Planned In Muscotah It's a trip back in time planned for later this month, as the Atchison County community of Muscotha commemorates its famous native son, Joe Tinker. The Major League Baseball great was born on July 27th, 1880 in Muscotah, and will be commemorated on his birthday, in his native community, during a game of old time baseball. Proclaimed “Joe Tinker Day” by the Kansas Legislature, July 27th will include a visit to Muscotah by Tinker's Grandson, Jay, the last living relative to have known Joe. He will bring along his two sons, Chris and Jon, traveling from their home in Baltimore, Maryland. They planned the trip after they were contacted by artists Erika Nelson and Matthew Farley who were seeking permission to use Tinker's image in a Muscotah baseball mural. A question and answer session with the Tinkers will be held at 1:00 that afternoon. That will be followed at 4:00 with the vintage baseball game between the Old Cowtown Base Ball Club and the Hodgeman Nine under the Muscotah water tower. The two teams will be dressed in old-time uniforms and use the baseball equipment and rules of 1870. Muscotah residents, with the assistance from volunteers organized by the Kansas Sampler Foundation, have been moving forward with plans for year round recognition of Tinker. That include the recent conversion of the former water tower tank into what's billed as the World's Largest Baseball. It will house a rural baseball and community museum.
