  • Lewis R. Dorman, IV. Ghosts of Glory: a Bibliographic Essay Concerning Pre- 1941 Baseball Autobiography and Oral History
    Lewis R. Dorman, IV. Ghosts of Glory: a Bibliographic Essay Concerning Pre- 1941 Baseball Autobiography and Oral History. A Master’s Paper for the M.S. in L.S degree. April 2005. 93 pages. Advisor: Jerry Saye. This paper documents published sources related to autobiographies and oral histories of baseball players, pitchers, and managers who performed the preponderance of their professional career before the United States of America’s involvement with the Second World War. The paper separates the individual autobiographies into three sections based upon the era in which the player is most associated with: the Iron Age (1869-1902), the Silver Age (1903-1922), and the Golden Age (1904-1941). Each section arranges the players alphabetically by surname, and every player entry contains a photograph, brief biographical information, a quotation from the autobiography, and lists of anecdotal works, biographies, films, and museums correlating to the player, when available. The fourth section of the paper concerns oral history (1869-1941), arranging the monographs alphabetically, with each entry including information about the players interviewed similar to the first three sections, but arranged by the player’s occurrence in the monograph.

    LINE DRIVES THE NATIONAL COLLEGIATE BASEBALL WRITERS NEWSLETTER (Volume 44, No. 6, Dec. 16, 2005) The President’s Message By NCBWA President Todd Lamb Holiday Greetings to everyone! Did the holidays sneak up on you this year? Somehow, I was able to find time to write this before I start my holiday shopping. Of course, don’t tell my wife. We still have a while before the season starts. Thank goodness because as I write this, Columbus is getting between two and four inches of snow. Forgive me if I have a difficult time thinking about college baseball right now. I keep trying to remind myself I’ll be traveling with our baseball team to Florida four times in February and March so my winter won’t be quite as long. By now you should have received the NCBWA Preseason All-America teams we announced Tuesday, Dec. 13. Congratulations to everyone who had a student-athlete named to one of our three teams. We released the preseason All-America teams early so SIDs have time to include them in media guide bios and media members can include the information in stories. The teams are included in this newsletter. I know I’m plugging away at our media guide this week and next before we head off to our bowl game against Notre Dame. In the near future, we’ll be sending out information about how to make nominations for the second annual NCBWA Stopper of the Year. Dave Fanucchi with USA Baseball will be heading up the award this year.

  • Clipse More Than 500 Games Played for Triple-A Pawtucket, Putting Him Only Behind Chico Walker (665) and Sam Bowen (609)
    The Boston Red Sox Thursday, July 2, 2020 * The Boston Globe Baseball is coming back — but it’s going to be very different Dan Shaughnessy Red Sox players, who scattered to the four winds when JetBlue Park shut down in mid-March, were scheduled to be tested for the coronavirus at Fenway Park Wednesday. There’s a loose plan to start staggered workouts at the ballpark Friday, with a goal of opening a 60-game season at the end of July. But like everything else in our COVID-19 spring, no one really knows anything. The sports world is very different now. Prepare for anything. Prepare for nothing. If Major League Baseball is played this summer, it's going to look very different with no fans and goofy new rules. Just think of how some of these new ideas would have changed history if they’d applied back in the good old days. For example, let’s consider the notion of placing a base runner on second base to start any extra inning. If that had applied in the 1975 postseason, Carl Yastrzemski would have been standing on second in the bottom of the 12th when Carlton Fisk walked to the plate to lead off the inning after midnight. Fisk’s blast off the left-field foul pole would have been a two-run shot. Yaz would be the guy crossing home plate with the winning run, and no one from the media would talk to Fisk or Yaz in the Sox clubhouse after the game. Fast-forward to 2020.

  • Walter Dandy and the Batter's Helmet
    NEUROSURGICAL FOCUS Neurosurg Focus 39 (1):E9, 2015 The neurosurgeon as baseball fan and inventor: Walter Dandy and the batter’s helmet Ryan Brewster, BA, Wenya Linda Bi, MD, PhD, Timothy R. Smith, MD, PhD, MPH, William B. Gormley, MD, MPH, Ian F. Dunn, MD, and Edward R. Laws Jr., MD Department of Neurosurgery, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts Baseball maintains one of the highest impact injury rates in all athletics. A principal causative factor is the “beanball,” referring to a pitch thrown directly at a batter’s head. Frequent morbidities elicited demand for the development of protec- tive gear development in the 20th century. In this setting, Dr. Walter Dandy was commissioned to design a “protective cap” in 1941. His invention became widely adopted by professional baseball and inspired subsequent generations of bat- ting helmets. As a baseball aficionado since his youth, Walter Dandy identified a natural partnership between baseball and medical practice for the reduction of beaning-related brain injuries. This history further supports the unique position of neurosurgeons to leverage clinical insights, inform innovation, and expand service to society. http://thejns.org/doi/abs/10.3171/2015.3.FOCUS1552 KEY WORDS Walter Dandy; baseball helmet; head trauma; traumatic brain injury; protective gear; innovation N June 1, 1940, the division-leading Brooklyn Initial efforts to devise protective headgear were mod- Dodgers took the field against the Chicago Cubs est, despite the obvious hazards posed by the beanball.

  • Wdam Radio's Greatest Baseball Hits
    THE MUSIC FAN'S SCORECARD TO WDAM RADIO'S GREATEST BASEBALL HITS It's a hit! WDAM Radio's "Greatest Baseball Hits" is the greatest roster of songs about baseball of ever assembled on one team of MP3 files! The WDAM Sports Department has scouted our famous Groove Yard (one of the largest collections of recorded music this side...or any side...of Cooperstown) to find the most major and minor league melodies you could ever imagine – from "America's Greatest Imaginary Station." In addition to these diamond discs and all-star anthems, our lineup also includes memorable play-by-play moments, just as you might have heard them on the radio. And in between innings, we pinch hit some selected baseball movie themes. You'll need a scorecard to truly enjoy this collection, so we have provided one, along with important stats about the songs, on the pages that follow.” These stats include the year, and for those recordings that actually made Billboard magazine's pop music charts, the highest position reached is designated by "#." Many of these selections are particularly rare (and they are labeled as such), so you won't find them at your favorite music source or sports store. Obviously, WDAM Radio's "Greatest Baseball Hits" is in a league of its own. All of us at the station hope you'll have as much fun with this collection as we did assembling it! Play ball!
