Journal of Sport History Vol. 19, No. 2 (Summer 1992)
Journal of Sport History, Vol. 19, No. 2 (Summer, 1992) “Them Dodgers is My Gallant Knights”: Fiction as History in The Natural (1952) Harley Henry Department of English Macalaster College Leave us go root for the Dodgers, Rodgers, They’re playing ball under lights. Leave us cut out all the juke jernts, Rodgers, Where we’ve been wastin’ our nights. Dancin’ the shag or the rumba is silly When we can be rooting for Adolf Camilli, So leave us go root for the Dodgers, Rodgers, Them Dodgers is my gallant knights.1 (Brooklyn Dodgers rooters’ song) Bernard Malamud’s first novel, The Natural (1952), is about a briefly great, but fatefully incomplete baseball player: Roy Hobbs of the New York Knights. “Baseball players were the ‘heroes’ of my childhood,” Malamud recalled in 1975,2 adding that “as a kid” he sometimes found entertainment in “the adventures of the Brooklyn Dodgers at Ebbets Field.”3 This essay describes the contemporaneous (1946-51) baseball events and written sources which influenced Malamud’s creation of a Cold War “American Adam”-Roy Hobbs-as this hero transformed “Them Dodgers” of Malamud’s youth into the somewhat-less-than-gallant New York Knights of his adult baseball fiction. Readers familiar with baseball have long recog- nized allusions to the game’s history and legends in the novel, but my research has uncovered a number of previously unidentified contemporary sources and events which shed considerable light on the genesis and thus on the historical significance of the novel. Malamud wrote about a baseball hero who sells out because recurring sports scandals of the forties and early fifties seemed both symptoms and apt symbols of wider-spread corruption in American life. -
