  • Baseball: a U.S. Sport with a Spanish- American Stamp
    ISSN 2373–874X (online) 017-01/2016EN Baseball: a U.S. Sport with a Spanish- American Stamp Orlando Alba 1 Topic: Spanish language and participation of Spanish-American players in Major League Baseball. Summary: The purpose of this paper is to highlight the importance of the Spanish language and the remarkable contribution to Major League Baseball by Spanish- American players. Keywords: baseball, sports, Major League Baseball, Spanish, Latinos Introduction The purpose of this paper is to highlight the remarkable contribution made to Major League Baseball (MLB) by players from Spanish America both in terms of © Clara González Tosat Hispanic Digital Newspapers in the United States Informes del Observatorio / Observatorio Reports. 016-12/2015EN ISSN: 2373-874X (online) doi: 10.15427/OR016-12/2015EN Instituto Cervantes at FAS - Harvard University © Instituto Cervantes at the Faculty of Arts and Sciences of Harvard University quantity and quality.1 The central idea is that the significant and valuable Spanish-American presence in the sports arena has a very positive impact on the collective psyche of the immigrant community to which these athletes belong. Moreover, this impact extends beyond the limited context of sport since, in addition to the obvious economic benefits for many families, it enhances the image of the Spanish-speaking community in the United States. At the level of language, contact allows English to influence Spanish, especially in the area of vocabulary, which Spanish assimilates and adapts according to its own peculiar structures. Baseball, which was invented in the United States during the first half of the nineteenth century, was introduced into Spanish America about thirty or forty years later.

  • Basketball, Universal Pictures, and the 1936 Berlin Olympics
    Alex Kupfer Sporting Labor in the Hollywood Studio System: Basketball, Universal Pictures, and the 1936 Berlin Olympics Abstract This paper examines basketball teams sponsored by motion picture exhibitors and studios between the 1910s and 1930s. Basketball teams were a popular means for employees to partake in physical exercise and a way for theater owners to bolster their theatrical programs. In 1934, Universal Pictures was the first studio to establish a “varsity” team of elite former collegiate stars. Their positions in the company combined elements of labor and public performance, as the basketball players were also hired as workers in areas such as the electrical or camera departments. The distinction between compensated and uncompensated labor was blurred far more frequently for these player-laborers than other studio employees. Most notably, to promote Universal’s The Bride of Frankenstein (1935), the team’s center would come out before games dressed as the monster and perform for the crowd. Top-level basketball in the film industry was only supported for a limited period. After the team was selected to represent the United States at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, what should have been the culmination of the team’s success turned into controversy. Instead, studio founder Carl Laemmle withdrew his financial support for the team and disbanded the team. The history of Hollywood basketball teams serves as an important reminder of the long history of convergence between sport and cinema as well as the prominent role that athletics played in defining the cultural experience of working in the film industry for many below-the-line workers.
