Through my research I have found that both entities follow a very similar timeline with highs and lows coming around the same time in the same province; although, I have not found any direct linkage between the two. My analysis begins around 1837 and continues through present day, and by analyzing the histories of each movement demonstrates clearly that both movements followed a unique and similar timeline.

    By Tony Parker 2005 Baseball Canada Senior Championship- August 28-28th, 2005 Welcome to the web site of the 2005 Baseball Canada Senior Baseball Championship. Baseball history doesn’t always have to be boring statistical analysis. This is a game that began somewhere in the early 1800’s and was increasingly documented after the first major professional league was founded in the United States in 1876 and Canada has been very much a part of that game as you will find below. In addition to this section we have also created a series of baseball trivia and informationals that will allow you to learn more about the game in what we hope is an entertaining fashion. As few boring stats as possible , because few of us are bookkeepers or accountants. Foxy & Tip Marchildon Too Canadian Baseball is alive and well and has contributed greatly to the Major League game, even if Ferguson Jenkins remains the only Canadian born player enshrined at Cooperstown. You may think that Larry Walker is the lone Canadian to win a Major League batting crown and if so, you would be wrong, but if you weren’t alive in 1887 then you didn’t see a Canadian lad named Tip O’Neill become the first ever triple crown winner in professional baseball history or that legendary U.S. Speaker of the House Tip O’Neill was named after that same Canadian triple crown winner. And did you know that the first player to use a padded glove (Foxy Irwin), the first retired player to start broadcasting games on radio (Jack Graney) and the first no-hitter recorded after the top players returned from service in WW II (Dick Fowler) were also Canadians? Graney also played in the same starting outfield with baseball legend Shoeless Joe Jackson as well as Hall of Fame player Tris Speaker and batted behind Cy Young in his final big league season when Cy was wrapping up his career record of 51 1 wins (Unquestionably baseball’s most unbreakable Major League mark).

    Sport Parent Sideline Behavior in Youth Baseball and Ice Hockey A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Julia Kathryn Dutove IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Dr. Mary Jo Kane, Dr. Nicole LaVoi April 2016 © Julia Kathryn Dutove 2016 i Acknowledgements This dissertation would not have been possible without the help of many people. Thank you to my parents, family, and friends for their support throughout this process. Thank you also to my advisors, Dr. Nicole LaVoi and Dr. Mary Jo Kane for their feedback and guidance through all the steps along the way, as well as to my committee members, Dr. Diane Wiese-Bjornstal and Dr. Jen Bhalla for their help in developing this project and providing feedback. Thank you as well to the expert panel who provided feedback on the survey: Dr. Jessica Albers, Dr. Alison Phillips, Dr. Megan Babkes Stellino, Dr. Jen Bhalla, Kari Ornes, Dr. Josh Lupinek, and Dr. Joel Krentz. And finally, a huge thank you to Baseball Alberta and Hockey Alberta for agreeing to participate in this project and to all the parents in these organizations who took the time to fill out survey and be part of this research. ii Abstract Over 75% of children in Canada participate in organized sport (Active Healthy Kids Canada, 2015) and parents are an important source of support in youth sport participation (Omli & Wiese-Bjornstal, 2011). While many parents display good behavior on youth sport sidelines, some poor sideline behavior still exists and can detract from the positive environment desired for youth sport participants (Bowker et al., 2009).

  • Made in America the Blue Jays Land in Toronto, April 1977
    EMMA PLATOFF MADE IN AMERICA THE BLUE JAYS LAND IN TORONTO, APRIL 1977 In 1977, Toronto embarked on the ambitious project of bringing baseball to the Great White North. So eager was Hogtown to host baseball, that, having settled for a subpar stadium, city leaders took care to spell out the game’s rules, lingo, and mathematics to the newspaper-reading public, hoping to convert thousands of Torontonians into baseball’s first Canadian fanbase. The trappings of baseball culture in the States were an integral part of the move—from the songs to the drinks in the stands—all of which became incor- porated into a new synthesis of baseball and Canadian culture. Graham Ambrose, BR ’18, colorfully captures the Toronto Blue Jays’ thrilling first season and popular success. Visiting the machinators behind baseball’s rise to success as well as public’s reactions, the follow- ing pages are an immersive look into the pastime’s often-surprising first years in Canada. By Graham Ambrose, JE ’18 Written for “Quebec and Canada, 1791-Present” Professor Jay Gitlin Faculty Advisor: Jay Gitlin Edited by Christine Wang, Gillian Page, and Heidi Katter 29 MADE IN AMERICA Toronto alderman George Ben had earned a reputation for sternness. A veteran of the Royal Canadian Air Force during the Second World War,1 Ben exhibited little patience for the more frivolous ventures of the Toronto City Council. Across fifteen years in public ser- vice, few such ventures proved more frivolous to the Spartan, Slovakian-born lawyer2 than the arrival of Major League Baseball in Toronto.

I am looking forward to growing the sport in Alberta and strongly believe in investing in our players, our coaches and our umpires. It goes without saying that 2020 was a year of many challenges on a variety of levels. We witnessed how a global pandemic changed our daily routines, severely impacted our economy and the way businesses operate, and shifted our focus from simply living a healthy and happy lifestyle to strictly obeying new and changing health and safety protocols. Baseball, and sport in general, was not immune to these effects. However Baseball Alberta, as a result of strong leadership and stewardship by past Boards of Directors, was able to weather this storm and will continue to be a leader in developing and furthering the sport in Alberta for years to come.
