Baseball's Bisexuality
Adrienne Harris, Ph.D. BaSeBall’S BISexualIty1 Abstract: In this essay I explore the function of sports in general and baseball in particular as a powerful element in the social construction and maintenance of masculinity within American culture. Sport’s function as an element in ideology is explored. I suggest that some of the key elements in baseball as a mass-audience sport make masculinity a complex and ultimately unstable construction through the medium and media production of baseball. I explore baseball’s relation to time and to language as aspects of complex gender assembly. Keywords: ideology, time, masculinity, social construction, narrative, bisexuality. HIS ESSAY IS PART PSYCHOANALYSIS, part social theory, part femi- Tnism, and part autobiography. It is an attempt to look, very locally, at the production and interpenetration of gender in cultural and intrapsy- chic life, specifically, in the experience of watching and following base- ball. To write this paper, I had to remember and think about a lot of my history, but also about the history of how sports function in and comment on social life and culture. At this point, 20 years after I began to work on this project, how I think about “Women, Baseball, and Words,” (my origi- nal title) is the outcome of my history with psychoanalytic feminism, and with gender studies, and gender theory. But this essay is also an outcome of my history as a daughter, as a wife, as a buddy, and most recently as a grandmother, somehow always someone rooted and vitalized in the intense pleasures of baseball. Only recently have I had a psychoanalytic 1 An early version of this paper, “Woman, Baseball and Words,” was published in Psychcri- tique, 1985, and reprinted in the Norton Guide to Literature, 1988.

A Tribute to Jackie Robinson
A TRIBUTE TO JACKIE ROBINSON A MAN FOR ALL TIMES When most African Americans think of Jackie Robinson, they think of the ultimate symbol of racial pride and progress in the sports arena. Jackie Robinson represented that symbol when he was chosen as the first African American to play in modern times for the Major League Brooklyn Dodgers. Robinson was chosen to fill these shoes by Branch Rickey, president and general manager of the Dodgers. October 23, 1945 was the date that Robinson signed a contract to play with the Montreal Royals, a minor league affiliate of the Dodgers. This was Robinson's official first step to the majors, which came on April 15, 1947 when he entered Ebbets Field to play baseball with the Dodgers. This April 15, 1997 will be the 50th Anniversary of the celebrated date. Jack (Jackie) Roosevelt Robinson was born in Cairo, Georgia on January 31, 1919. He was the youngest of the five children of Jerry and Mallie Robinson. When Jackie's father Jerry, a sharecropper, left home seeking work, his mother, Mallie, decided to move west, seeking a better life with her children by her side. She was able to find a house in the suburbs of Pasadena, California. Life was not that easy for the Robinsons, being the only black family in this not so friendly area of California. Jackie and his older brother, Mack, took to sports early on in their school years. Mack became a world-class sprinter, and, by 1936, he was invited to compete in the 200 meter dash in the Olympics held in Berlin, Germany.
