Biographical / Historical Lou Newman, a retired New York City businessman originally from Baltimore, is a third-generation baseball fan and collector of baseball memorabilia. He continued the tradition started by his grandfather and his father, of anything connected to baseball. Before he donated portions of it, Mr. Newman's massive collection filled an entire room in his home, and included baseball books numbering in the thousands, baseball games and toys, coin banks, watches and charms, pennants, uniforms, advertising, baseball art, bats, balls, baseball cards, products with player endorsements, buttons, pins, and numerous other types of items. Mr. Newman, in his travels throughout the U.S., expanded on the collection by gathering souvenirs and memorabilia from games and stadiums in the many places he visited, collecting not just on the major leagues but the minor leagues and spring training. Scope and Contents The archival collection is divided into seven series: Series 1: Team Programs, 1895-1999, mostly minor leagues; Series 2: Postcards, most undated but many go back to the turn of the 20th century, in addition to some before that date which are reproductions; Series 3: Sheet Music, 1908-1984, entirely on the subject of baseball; Series 4: Advertising, with baseball images, including advertising for newspapers, soft drinks, beer, tobacco and other products, and many posters, including one movie poster for a 1928 silent film Warming Up; Series 5: Photographs, mostly black and white portraits of major league players; Series 6: Miscellaneous Publications, undated and 1903, 1950, including a comic book, a short story magazine and a theater program; and Series 7: Ephemera, consisting entirely of ticket stubs. Names and Subject Terms This collection is indexed in the online catalog of the Smithsonian Institution under the following terms: Subjects: Baseball Types of Materials: Advertisements -- 20th century Ephemera -- 1890-2000 Photographs -- 19th century Posters -- 20th century Programs Sheet music Tickets Page 2 of 27 Series 1: Team Programs Lou Newman Collection of Baseball Memorabilia NMAH.AC.0696 Container Listing Series 1: Team Programs, 1895-1999 Subseries 1.1: Minor League Programs, 1895-1975 Box 1, Folder 1 Minor League Programs, 1895: Box 1, Folder 1 Bridgeton, New Jersey, 1895 Box 1, Folder 2 Minor League Programs, 1931-1939: Box 1, Folder 2 San Jose vs. Santa Cruz, 1931 Box 1, Folder 2 Syracuse Chiefs, 1937 Box 1, Folder 2 Syracuse Chiefs, 1939 Box 1, Folder 3 Minor League Programs, 1944-1949: Box 1, Folder 3 Hollywood Stars, 1944 Box 1, Folder 3 Syracuse Chiefs, 1945 Box 1, Folder 3 San Diego Padres, 1945 Box 1, Folder 3 Rochester Red Wings, 1945 Box 1, Folder 3 Trenton Giants, 1947 Box 1, Folder 3 Batavia (New York) Clippers, 1947 Box 1, Folder 3 Bristol Twins, 1947 Box 1, Folder 3 Allentown Cardinals, 1947 Box 1, Folder 3 Newport News Dodgers, 1947 Box 1, Folder 3 Anniston (Alabama) Rams, 1948 Box 1, Folder 3 Indianapolis Indians, 1947 Page 3 of 27 Series 1: Team Programs Lou Newman Collection of Baseball Memorabilia NMAH.AC.0696 Box 1, Folder 3 Milwaukee Brewers, 1949 Box 1, Folder 4 Minor League Programs, 1950-1959: Image(s) Box 1, Folder 4 Anniston Rams, 1950 Box 1, Folder 4 Birmingham Barons, 1951 Box 1, Folder 4 San Francisco Seals, 1951 Box 1, Folder 4 Decatur Commodores, 1952 Box 1, Folder 4 Lewiston (Idaho) Broncs, 1954 Box 1, Folder 4 Allentown (Pennsylvania) Cardinals, 1955 Box 1, Folder 4 Seattle Rainiers, 1955 Box 1, Folder 4 San Jose Red Sox, 1955 Box 1, Folder 4 Topeka Hawks, 1956 Box 1, Folder 4 Schenectady Blue Jays, 1958 Box 1, Folder 4 Austin Senators, 1958 Box 1, Folder 4 Alamance (North Carolina) Indians, 1959 Box 1, Folder 4 Topeka Reds, 1959 Box 1, Folder 4 Savannah Reds, 1959 Image(s) Box 1, Folder 5 Minor League Programs, 1960: Box 1, Folder 5 Billings (Montana) Mustangs Box 1, Folder 5 Saint Paul Saints Box 1, Folder 5 Austin Senators Box 1, Folder 5 Durham Bulls Page 4 of 27 Series 1: Team Programs Lou Newman Collection of Baseball Memorabilia NMAH.AC.0696 Box 1, Folder 5 St. Cloud (Minnesota) Rox Box 1, Folder 5 Sacramento Solons Box 1, Folder 6 Minor League Programs, 1961: Box 1, Folder 6 Shreveport Sports Box 1, Folder 6 Binghamton Triplets Box 1, Folder 6 Hawaii Islanders Box 1, Folder 7 Minor League Programs, 1962: Box 1, Folder 7 Fox Cities (Wisconsin) Foxes Box 1, Folder 7 Springfield (Massachusetts) Giants Box 1, Folder 7 Boise Braves Box 1, Folder 8 Minor League Programs, 1963: Box 1, Folder 8 Santa Barbara Rancheros Box 1, Folder 8 Fox Cities Foxes Box 1, Folder 8 San Jose Bees Box 1, Folder 9 Minor League Programs, 1964: Box 1, Folder 9 Charlotte Hornets Box 1, Folder 9 Bakersfield Bears Box 1, Folder 10 Minor League Programs, 1965: Box 1, Folder 10 Salisbury (North Carolina) Astros Box 1, Folder 11 Minor League Programs, 1967: Box 1, Folder 11 Santa Barbara Dodgers Page 5 of 27 Series 1: Team Programs Lou Newman Collection of Baseball Memorabilia NMAH.AC.0696 Box 1, Folder 11 Spartanburg (South Carolina) Phillies Box 1, Folder 11 Bakersfield Bears Box 1, Folder 11 San Diego Padres Box 1, Folder 11 Macon Peaches Box 1, Folder 12 Minor League Programs, 1968: Box 1, Folder 12 Salem Rebels Box 1, Folder 12 Buffalo Bisons Box 1, Folder 12 Seattle Angels Box 1, Folder 12 Savannah Senators Image(s) Box 1, Folder 13 Minor League Programs, 1969: Box 1, Folder 13 St. Petersburg Cardinals Box 1, Folder 13 Salem (Virginia) Rebels Box 1, Folder 13 Hawaii Islanders Box 1, Folder 13 Albuquerque Dodgers Box 1, Folder 14 Minor League Programs, 1970: Box 1, Folder 14 Indianapolis Indians Box 1, Folder 14 Aberdeen (South Dakota) Pheasants Box 1, Folder 14 Birmingham

    Collection Number BA MSS 17 Title American League Base Ball Club of New York Records Inclusive Dates 1913-1950 Abstract Records of the American League Base Ball Club of New York and its minor league affiliates, consists almost exclusively of business and financial records, some of which date back to the earliest days of the Yankees organization. This unique collection provides information about the business and financial practices of a highly successful professional sports organization over a period of almost forty years. The collection consists of bound volumes including ledgers, cash books, trial balances, insurance policies, contract record books, contract record file cards, vouchers and invoices, journals, and other business records. The teams with the strongest coverage in the collection are the New York Yankees, Newark Bears, and Norfolk Tars. The collection also includes Yankee Stadium diaries from 1936, 1938, and 1940, which document fan injuries, ejections, and arrests at the stadium. Among the topics covered in the collection are: player salaries, including major players such as Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and Joe DiMaggio; player transactions, including payments on the purchase of Babe Ruth’s contract from the Boston Red Sox in 1919; gate receipts, both home and away; general business practices; advertising and promotions; concessions; scouting expenses; and travel expenses. Also of interest in the collection is a small amount of material on the Negro Leagues.

  • Baseball in Wartime
    Gary Bedingfield’s Baseball Volume 3, Issue 27 in Wartime Baseball December 2009 www.baseballinwartime.com [email protected] www.baseballinwartime.com in Wartime baseballinwartime.blogspot.com Merry Christmas from Baseball in Wartime Greetings to you all! Yes, it’s that time of year again and I really can’t believe how we got here so quickly. I also can’t believe that this is the 27th issue of the Baseball in Wartime Newsletter. It was in September 2007 that I put together the first two- page edition of this newsletter as a way of sharing information that did generally fit within the scope of the Baseball in Wartime website. Things have certainly grown since those humble beginnings and in October I launched the Baseball in Wartime Blog. The issue I am now pondering over is whether there is still a need for the newsletter in light of the existence of the blog? Do the newsletter and blog serve the same purpose? The advantage of the blog is that it is updated daily, providing you with a constant update on WWII baseball news together with regular features. The newsletter on the other hand, is a monthly release but has the advantage of being printable and is delivered right to your email inbox. I guess, at this stage, I’m looking for feedback. If I get enough positive response for the newsletter then I’ll gladly keep producing it on a monthly basis. If, however, you would rather access this type of information via the blog, then I’ll phase out the newsletter over the next few months.

    Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings February 23, 2017 THIS DAY IN REDS HISTORY 1995 - Kevin Mitchell signs a contract to play for the Daiei Hawks in Japan. Mitchell spent three seasons with the Reds, batting .332 with 50 doubles, 55 home runs and 167 RBI MLB.COM 'Breaking' news: Cingrani develops cutter Reds lefty works in offseason to add another pitch offering By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com | @m_sheldon | February 22nd, 2017 + 50 COMMENTS GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Reds left-hander Tony Cingrani can throw his four-seam fastball 95 mph, and consistent with his career, he used it often in 2016. It was so often that PITCHf/x data showed he threw his fastball more than 87 percent of the time. Cingrani started using a split-fingered fastball sometime in the second half, but he realized it was time to diversify the repertoire even more. He needed a breaking ball and used the offseason to develop a cut fastball. "It's just another way to get guys out," Cingrani said. "It gets hitters off thinking it's just going to be a fastball. I'm still trying to work on how I want that ball to move, but it's good and feels comfortable." At the suggestion of teammate and fellow reliever Caleb Cotham, Cingrani traveled to Kent, Wash., in the fall and worked out at Driveline Baseball. The facility, owned by Kyle Boddy, has gained a reputation for providing data-driven pitch training and also encourages building arm strength by playing catch with weighted balls. "Caleb is a pretty smart cat," Cingrani said.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Document: [Re]Integrating the Stadium
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: [Re]integrating the Stadium Within the City: A Ballpark for Downtown Tampa Justin Allen Cullen Master of Architecture, 2012 Directed By: Professor Garth C. Rockcastle, FAIA Architecture With little exception, Major League Baseball stadiums across the country deprive their cities of valuable space when not in use. These stadiums are especially wasteful if their resource demands are measured against their utilization. Baseball stadiums are currently utilized for only 13% of the total hours of each month during a regular season. Even though these stadiums provide additional uses for their audiences (meeting spaces, weddings, birthdays, etc.) rarely do these events aid the facility’s overall usage during a year. This thesis explores and redevelops the stadium’s interstitial zone between the street and the field. The primary objective is to redefine this zone as a space that functions for both a ballpark and as part of the urban fabric throughout the year.

  • An Analysis of the American Outdoor Sport Facility: Developing an Ideal Type on the Evolution of Professional Baseball and Football Structures
    AN ANALYSIS OF THE AMERICAN OUTDOOR SPORT FACILITY: DEVELOPING AN IDEAL TYPE ON THE EVOLUTION OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL AND FOOTBALL STRUCTURES DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Chad S. Seifried, B.S., M.Ed. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Donna Pastore, Advisor Professor Melvin Adelman _________________________________ Professor Janet Fink Advisor College of Education Copyright by Chad Seifried 2005 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to analyze the physical layout of the American baseball and football professional sport facility from 1850 to present and design an ideal-type appropriate for its evolution. Specifically, this study attempts to establish a logical expansion and adaptation of Bale’s Four-Stage Ideal-type on the Evolution of the Modern English Soccer Stadium appropriate for the history of professional baseball and football and that predicts future changes in American sport facilities. In essence, it is the author’s intention to provide a more coherent and comprehensive account of the evolving professional baseball and football sport facility and where it appears to be headed. This investigation concludes eight stages exist concerning the evolution of the professional baseball and football sport facility. Stages one through four primarily appeared before the beginning of the 20th century and existed as temporary structures which were small and cheaply built. Stages five and six materialize as the first permanent professional baseball and football facilities. Stage seven surfaces as a multi-purpose facility which attempted to accommodate both professional football and baseball equally.

  • Wrigley Field
    Jordan, J. The Origination of Baseball and Its Stadiums 1 Running header: THE ORIGINATION OF BASEBALL AND ITS STADIUMS The Origination of Baseball and Its Stadiums: Wrigley Field Justin A. Jordan North Carolina State University Landscape Architecture 444 Prof. Fernando Magallanes December 7, 2012 Jordan, J. The Origination of Baseball and Its Stadiums 2 Abstract Baseball is America’s Pastime and is home for some of the most influential people and places in the USA. Since the origination of baseball itself, fields and ball parks have had emotional effects on Americans beginning long before the creation of the USA. In this paper, one will find the background of the sport and how it became as well as the first ball parks and their effects on people in the USA leading up to the discussion about Wrigley Field in Chicago, Illinois. Jordan, J. The Origination of Baseball and Its Stadiums 3 Baseball. This one word could represent the American pastime and culture. Many believe it to be as old as dirt. Peter Morris in his book, Level Playing Fields, explains “Baseball is sometimes said to be older than dirt. It is one of those metaphors that sounds silly on its face but that still resonates because it hints at a deeper truth. In this case, the deeper truth is that neither baseball nor dirt is quite complete without the other” (Morris, 2007). Morris practically says that baseball cannot thrive without proper fields to play on or parks to play in. Before describing early playing fields and stadiums in baseball, one must know where the sport and idea originated from in the first place.

(“HFF”) is pleased to present the exciting opportunity to acquire The Commons (the “Property”), an attractive 200-unit community with the largest floor plans in its submarket and centrally located in Tampa, Florida. The Commons offers investors both strong cash flow, as well as tremendous upside potential through the implementation of a targeted value-add strategy.
