    CCIINNCCIINNNNAATTII RREEDDSS PPRREESSSS CCLLIIPPPPIINNGGSS JULY 16, 2014 THIS DAY IN REDS HISTORY: JULY 16, 1954 – REDS CF GUS BELL LED CINCINNATI TO A 9-4 VICTORY OVER THE PHILLIES BY DRIVING IN SIX RUNS. BELL WENT 3-FOR-5 WITH TWO HOME RUNS, A DOUBLE AND TWO RUNS SCORED. CINCINNATI ENQUIRER All-Star Game 2015 countdown begins Josh Pichler The first thing to understand about next year's All-Star Game is that it's not a game. It's a five-day convention and sports sensation that will overtake Downtown. Concerts, block parties and a parade will complement Major League Baseball's FanFest, Futures Game, Home Run Derby and the 86th All-Star Game. The event is expected to bring well over 100,000 people to the region – including hundreds of journalists – and beam Cincinnati onto television sets and media platforms across the world. For locals whose only frame of reference is the 1988 All-Star Game, next year's festivities will bear little resemblance to the event that hit town when Marge Schott owned the Cincinnati Reds and Pete Rose was her manager. Players that year came to town on Sunday night, missed a skills competition due to weather and played the game Tuesday. Contrast that with the modern, five-day, fan-driven spectacle. Already, MLB has booked 16,165 hotel room nights for next year from July 11-15 for its contingent of executives, corporate sponsors and guests. That's just a fraction of the expected out-of-town guests. Minneapolis anticipated 160,000 visitors for this year's game, the Minneapolis StarTribune reported.

Stephen Barefoot • 919.614.1235 • [email protected] • www.goingbarefoot.com Artist Bio/Mike Wiley Mike Wiley Productions “A marvel to watch...” Robert McDowell, Triangle Theatre Reviews “More than mere versatility... It’s virtuosity.” American Theatre Magazine Mike Wiley is the NC-based playwright and actor whose distinctive original works in documentary theatre, film, educational residencies and performances for student audiences has been acclaimed across America and abroad. His dramas relay the stories of fugitive slaves, civil rights game changers, sports heroes and freedom fighters. Dynamic multi- character portrayals offer penetrating views into parallel lives whose roles within African American history have shaped a richer total American experience. Wiley’s impressive one-man “casts” sometimes introduce dozens of characters during the course of a single play. Morphing from young to old, man to woman, African American to white, his gripping stories enlighten and inspire audiences of every age to apply history’s lessons to events and situations of the present. An M.F.A. graduate of the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, Wiley’s catalog as playwright now includes more than a dozen original theatrical works, including eight docu-drama one-person plays that Wiley tours throughout the US, along with a growing number of full-cast ensemble plays available for professional licensing and production. His most recent work, LEAVING EDEN, with music composed by Laurelyn Dossett, was the largest inception-to-production project ever undertaken by the 100-year-old Carolina Playmakers/Playmakers Repertory Company in Chapel Hill, NC and enjoyed a record-breaking run in its premiere multi-week production in spring of 2018.

INTRODUCTION On August 26, 2008, Bradford Campeau-Laurion was simply heading to the restroom when everything changed. ' Taking in a Yankees game with his friend, Campeau-Laurion figured the seventh-inning stretch was a good time to head to the restroom. 2 The only problem was that the seventh-inning at Yankee Stadium was reserved for the song "God Bless America." 3 Based on a policy instituted in October 2001, the Yankees restricted fan movement at certain exits during the airing of the song by using New York Police Department (NYPD) officers, ushers, stadium security, and chains to keep fans 5 in their seats. 4 This policy was created to encourage patriotism. When Campeau-Laurion, who does not participate in religious activities and objects to being required to participate in them, refused to return to his seat, he was forcibly ejected by two uniformed NYPD officers.

  • Past and Present Converge As Sox Host MLB's Civil Rights Game Aug. 24
    Past and present converge as Sox host MLB’s Civil Rights Game Aug. 24 By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Friday, April 5, 2013 The White Sox would finally host Major League Baseball's seventh annual Civil Rights Game once two motivated gentlemen put their heads and passions together. Kenny Williams, now White Sox executive vice president, believes the game and the surrounding Major League Baseball's Civil Rights Game has been events and roundtable panel discus- a success in Atlanta and Cincinnati. sions should strike a balance between history and the never-ending struggle for civil rights. Williams had an easy sell to Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf, one of the top backers of di- versity in sports. Reinsdorf, 77, a living witness to Jackie Robinson’s break-in to the ma- jors in Brooklyn, envisions a world where everyone has equal opportunity. Such a soci- ety does not yet exist, making the athletics and events involved in the multi-day, All Star -style Civil Rights game program necessary into the foreseeable future. The Chicago Baseball Museum supports the goals of the Civil Rights Game and will publicize all events as they are conceptualized and scheduled. The timing for the game in Chicago is never better, and not just because of Reinsdorf’s and Williams’ active involvement. The biopic movie, “42,” on Robinson’s break-in, will no doubt be the talk of the summer among both baseball fans and history The biopic movie "42" on Jackie Robin- buffs, and will further draw attention to the time- son should heighten interest in civil line the Civil Rights Game commemorates.
