  • An Analysis of the American Outdoor Sport Facility: Developing an Ideal Type on the Evolution of Professional Baseball and Football Structures
    AN ANALYSIS OF THE AMERICAN OUTDOOR SPORT FACILITY: DEVELOPING AN IDEAL TYPE ON THE EVOLUTION OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL AND FOOTBALL STRUCTURES DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Chad S. Seifried, B.S., M.Ed. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Donna Pastore, Advisor Professor Melvin Adelman _________________________________ Professor Janet Fink Advisor College of Education Copyright by Chad Seifried 2005 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to analyze the physical layout of the American baseball and football professional sport facility from 1850 to present and design an ideal-type appropriate for its evolution. Specifically, this study attempts to establish a logical expansion and adaptation of Bale’s Four-Stage Ideal-type on the Evolution of the Modern English Soccer Stadium appropriate for the history of professional baseball and football and that predicts future changes in American sport facilities. In essence, it is the author’s intention to provide a more coherent and comprehensive account of the evolving professional baseball and football sport facility and where it appears to be headed. This investigation concludes eight stages exist concerning the evolution of the professional baseball and football sport facility. Stages one through four primarily appeared before the beginning of the 20th century and existed as temporary structures which were small and cheaply built. Stages five and six materialize as the first permanent professional baseball and football facilities. Stage seven surfaces as a multi-purpose facility which attempted to accommodate both professional football and baseball equally.

  • The Norman J. Hubner Athletic Hall of Fame
    THE NORMAN J. HUBNER ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME Ron “Doc” Reed was one of the finest three-sport athletes ever produced at LaPorte High School. Standing 6-6, he made a great target as a football end, was an excellent scorer and rebounder in basketball and a power pitcher in baseball. After graduating from LPHS in 1961, he attended the University of Notre Dame to play basketball and baseball and had a particularly outstanding career on the hardwood. In 1965 Reed signed a contract with the Milwaukee Braves - who later moved to Atlanta, Ga. - as a free agent and had a brief minor league career. From 1965-67 he also filled the key sixth-man role for the Detroit Pistons and could have had a successful NBA career had he not chosen to concentrate on baseball. He made his debut for the Braves on Sept. 26, 1966. In 1968 he made the National League All-Star team and in 1969 he had his best-ever record (18-10), helping Atlanta win its first division title. On April 8, 1974 he was the winning pitcher as Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruth’s record with his 715th career home run. He spent part of 1975 with the St. Louis Cardinals. He then had eight very successful years as a relief pitcher with the Philadelphia Phillies. A fierce competitor, he had 17 saves and a brilliant 2.23 ERA in 1978. One year later he led the majors with 13 wins in relief. He was a key member of the Phillies’ 1980 World Series champions and the 1983 World Series runner-up.
