Base Ball’ in Kalamazoo (Before 1890)
All About Kalamazoo History – Kalamazoo Public Library ‘Base Ball’ in Kalamazoo (Before 1890) “Hip, Hip... Huzzah!” If you’re under the impression that Kalamazoo has only recently become involved in the sport of professional and semi-professional baseball, think again. Our community’s love affair with America’s favorite pastime dates back to the days before the Civil War when the town itself was little more than a frontier village, and the passion of local fans has seldom wavered since. America’s Game The game of Base Ball (then two words) originated in the 1840s, and was (and still is) a uniquely American sport. In its infancy, baseball was very much a gentleman’s game, where runs were called “tallies,” outs were “kills,” and the batter (“striker”) had the right to say how the ball (then tossed underhand) should be pitched. According to author and MLB historian John Thorn, “It was thought unmanly to not catch with bare hands,” so no gloves were worn, and if a ball was Kalamazoo Telegraph, 2 October 1867 hit into the grandstand, it was to be thrown back onto the playing field. Umpires (then “referees”) enforced strict rules of conduct, and players (“base ballists”) could be fined for such ungentlemanly conduct as swearing, spitting, disputing a referee’s decision, or failing to tip one’s hat to a feminine spectator. Admission prices were inflated to keep out the “undesirables,” and the use of alcohol and tobacco was strictly prohibited. The “New Game” Comes to Kalamazoo Legend has it that the sport of baseball as we know it was first introduced in Kalamazoo during the late 1850s by one John McCord, who, after seeing the game played while attending school in New York, was finally able to persuade his friends back home in Kalamazoo to try it. -
Minor League Presidents
MINOR LEAGUE PRESIDENTS compiled by Tony Baseballs www.minorleaguebaseballs.com This document deals only with professional minor leagues (both independent and those affiliated with Major League Baseball) since the foundation of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues (popularly known as Minor League Baseball, or MiLB) in 1902. Collegiate Summer leagues, semi-pro leagues, and all other non-professional leagues are excluded, but encouraged! The information herein was compiled from several sources including the Encyclopedia of Minor League Baseball (2nd Ed.), Baseball Reference.com, Wikipedia, official league websites (most of which can be found under the umbrella of milb.com), and a great source for defunct leagues, Indy League Graveyard. I have no copyright on anything here, it's all public information, but it's never all been in one place before, in this layout. Copyrights belong to their respective owners, including but not limited to MLB, MiLB, and the independent leagues. The first section will list active leagues. Some have historical predecessors that will be found in the next section. LEAGUE ASSOCIATIONS The modern minor league system traces its roots to the formation of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues (NAPBL) in 1902, an umbrella organization that established league classifications and a salary structure in an agreement with Major League Baseball. The group simplified the name to “Minor League Baseball” in 1999. MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL Patrick Powers, 1901 – 1909 Michael Sexton, 1910 – 1932 -
Baseball in Kalamazoo (Since 1890)
All About Kalamazoo History – Kalamazoo Public Library Baseball in Kalamazoo (Since 1890) The Dead Ball Era A Rough and Rowdy Sport By the late 1800s, baseball had become America’s favorite pastime—perhaps the most widely played sport in the country—and it had changed considerably. No longer a casual game reserved for the country club elite, baseball had become a rough and rowdy sport of the working class, where beer and cigars were seemingly required equipment, and ardent rivalries among local and regional teams were Kalamazoo College Men's Baseball Team, c.1896 Kalamazoo College CACHE: College Academic and Historical Experience commonplace. It was during this era that the American Association (1882 to 1891) earned its nickname “Beer and Whiskey League” for selling beer at games (four of the league’s owners were brewmasters), playing on Sundays (a 19th century taboo), and opening the sport to working-class spectators. Stories were told of competition between some teams becoming so intense at times that umpires were ©1998-2015 Kalamazoo Public Library Page | 1 All About Kalamazoo History – Kalamazoo Public Library compelled to bear arms, and the ultimate outcome of a hotly contested battle might well be decided with fists at the local watering hole after the game. “Baseball was a rough game,” recalled one veteran player, “we played hurt, we played hard, and even if a fight broke out no one was ejected.” Baseball in Kalamazoo During the ‘Gay Nineties’ A significant number of early independent teams existed in Kalamazoo during the years around the dawn of the 20th century. -
