  • By Kimberly Parkhurst Thesis
    America’s Pastime: How Baseball Went from Hoboken to the World Series An Honors Thesis (HONR 499) by Kimberly Parkhurst Thesis Advisor Dr. Bruce Geelhoed Ball State University Muncie, Indiana April 2020 Expected Date of Graduation July 2020 Abstract Baseball is known as “America’s Pastime.” Any sports aficionado can spout off facts about the National or American League based on who they support. It is much more difficult to talk about the early days of baseball. Baseball is one of the oldest sports in America, and the 1800s were especially crucial in creating and developing modern baseball. This paper looks at the first sixty years of baseball history, focusing especially on how the World Series came about in 1903 and was set as an annual event by 1905. Acknowledgments I would like to thank Carlos Rodriguez, a good personal friend, for loaning me his copy of Ken Burns’ Baseball documentary, which got me interested in this early period of baseball history. I would like to thank Dr. Bruce Geelhoed for being my advisor in this process. His work, enthusiasm, and advice has been helpful throughout this entire process. I would also like to thank Dr. Geri Strecker for providing me a strong list of sources that served as a starting point for my research. Her knowledge and guidance were immeasurably helpful. I would next like to thank my friends for encouraging the work I do and supporting me. They listen when I share things that excite me about the topic and encourage me to work better. Finally, I would like to thank my family for pushing me to do my best in everything I do, whether academic or extracurricular.

The Strat-O-Matic Game Co. won't be putting out six Old-Timer baseball teams from the period 1920-1939. Now the good news. Instead, it will be putting out eight Old-Timer teams From that period! Because the recent poll conducted in the Review showed a heavy concentrat- ion of votes for two New York Yankee teams (1921 and 1936) and because, after the first three teams, the voting was extremely close, S-O-M creator Harold Richman has decided on eight teams instead of the planned six. When the Review editors last talked with the game company, Richman was researching the eight teams and prepar.ing Fielding and running ratings. The newest set of Old-Timer teams will be available when the 1976 baseball cards come out in the early spring. Now, which eight teams will be added to the growing list of Old-Timer card sets already available? Here are the eight that the readers picked via the poll and the percentage (out of 90 votes) that each received: 1. 1934 Detroit Tigers - 72.2%. 2. 1927 Pittsburgh Pirates - 55.6%. 5.

  • Michael Joseph "King" Kelly Years
    Name: Michael Joseph "King" Kelly Years: December 31, 1857 – November 8, 1894 Residence: Boston, Massachusetts Brief Biography: "King" Mike Kelly was born on December 31, 1857 in Troy. Mike learned to play baseball living with his mother in Washington D.C. while his father fought in the Union Army during the Civil War. After the war, his father moved the family to Paterson, New Jersey. Unfortunately for Mike, both his parents died within a year and was forced to support himself by taking a job in the textile mills of Paterson at the age of thirteen. By 1873, the fifteen-year-old Kelly was good enough to be invited to play baseball on Blondie Purcell's amateur team in Paterson. Kelly's friend, Jim McCormick, was signed to play for Columbus Buckeyes, an international team, and Jim helped Kelly become his catcher. A year later, Mike signed with the Cincinnati Reds. Kelly played as an outfielder and backup catcher for the Cincinnati Reds for two years. Kelly signed with the White Stockings for the 1880 season and played there until 1886. During his time in Chicago, he was among the league leaders in most offensive categories, including leading the league in runs from 1884 through 1886 (120, 124 and 155 respectively), and batting in 1884 and 1886 (.354 and .388). Kelly was also thought to be one of the best defensive catchers at the time, and was one of the first to wear a catcher's glove and chest protector. Kelly's Chicago White Stockings won National league championship in 1880, 1881, 1882, 1885 and 1886.
