Dresden Dukes Baseball Und Softball Dresden Dukes E.V Dresden Dukes Baseball und Softball Dresden Dukes e.V. Dresden, 08. August 2012 City Officials ban Baseball in Dresden Shortly after the city of Dresden closed the Ballpark Narzissenweg 9 for all baseball games in spring 2012, the Baseball- and Softballclub Dresden Dukes e.V. suffered a new setback. Officials of the sports facilities operations (Sportstätten- und Bäderbetrieb) have informed the Club that the only alternative site near the indoor swimming pool in Dresden-Klotzsche cannot be converted to a combined baseball and softball field, even though it offered sufficient space. In the budget of 2013, the City cannot afford the 36,000-40,000 Euros, necessary for the conversion of the former soccer field. In addition, the head of the sports facilities operations Sven Mania does not expect that the city can afford it in the near future. The decision hits the club extremely hard, since the four-time champion (2004, 2007, 2008, 2010) of the Central German Baseball League (MDLB) will not be able to compete in the league from 2013 on. It is in stark contrast to the regional development of baseball in eastern Germany, where a new ballpark opened in Magdeburg in 2010 and where the ballpark in Leipzig has been upgraded to support relegation to the higher Regionalliga. It also does not fit the increasing popularity of baseball in Germany and Europe. In 2009 up to 10,000 spectators watched the Baseball World Cup in Regensburg and the reigning World Champion is neither the USA nor Cuba, but Germany’s neighbor the Netherlands. Even the memberships in the Dresden Dukes e.V. have steadily increased since the founding of the club in 1998. But now the 35 members of the Dukes’ baseball team are left hanging. Furthermore, it is also a setback to the successful integration of foreigners and immigrants, of which the "open-minded” city of Dresden might not be aware. In the nearly 15 years since the founding of the club more than 25 players from around the world have played with the Dukes. Not only from the United States of America and Cuba, where baseball is very popular, but also from the Dominican Republic, Japan, Honduras, France, Russia, Mexico, China, Nicaragua, South Korea and Finland. The decision will also affect other sections of the club. Even though softball can still be played on the field at the Narzissenweg, the club might lose half of its members with the breakup of its baseball section. Whether the reduced member contributions can still finance the softball operations in 2013, needs to be seen. Even the good youth development in recent years will be destroyed without a baseball field. In 2011, five teenagers made the jump from the youth team to the second team. Now they lack any motivation to improve their baseball skills. In addition, the club will lose the volunteer youth coaches, which are currently active in the men’s teams.

Although the city had received complains of neighbors regarding foul balls by the end of the 2011 season, they only closed down the field two days before the first home game in April 2012. Despite the fact that the club filed more than ten proposals for alternative sites, the city only offered the sports field in Dresden-Klotzsche as an alternative. But even this site will still be in use by the city’s schools in 2013, a fact that was not communicated to the club until two months later. Only afterwards the Dresden Dukes e.V. received permission to play at the rugby/cricket field in Ostragehege, a site which the club already requested in April 2012. However, the offer was made without consultation with the two local clubs, the Rugby Club Dresden e.V. and the Dresden RV Cricket Club. Only after the Dresden Dukes e.V. had contacted both clubs, it became clear that by this time no free times were available and that the site did not support the necessary changes required for the baseball field. Despite all efforts on the part of the baseball club the decision to ban baseball in 2013 and the "subsequent” years disappoints even more.

    MIAMI UNIVERSITY The Graduate School Certificate for Approving the Dissertation We hereby approve the Dissertation of Aaron W. Miller Candidate for the Degree: Doctor of Philosophy ____________________________________________ Erik N. Jensen, Director ____________________________________________ Andrew Cayton, Reader ____________________________________________ Kimberly Hamlin, Reader ____________________________________________ Kevin Armitage, Graduate School Representative ABSTRACT GLORIOUS SUMMER: A CULTURAL HISTORY OF NINETEENTH-CENTURY BASEBALL, 1861-1920 by Aaron W. Miller In the decades after the Civil War, Americans turned baseball, a fad from New York City, into their national obsession. Baseball’s apostles used the game’s Civil War experience to infuse it with militaristic, nationalistic, and patriotic themes. They mythologized the history of the game. Baseball’s explosive growth across the nation came with profound implications. Baseball formed a mass, united culture. Although Civil War soldiers played baseball to escape the dreariness and terror of life during war, the process of militarizing and imbuing the game with patriotic themes started even before the guns fell silent. As the sport spread nationally, it advanced a northern, middle-class vision of masculinity. Baseball shaped gender roles in the late nineteenth century. In the early days of baseball, women were important as spectators, yet the sporting culture lambasted their play. Of course, baseball also excluded racial minorities. Baseball’s promoters saw the game as a restorer of white masculinity, which many believed was atrophying. By the end of the dead-ball era, Americans thought that baseball was essential for national strength. Baseball helped reunify the nation after the sectional crisis. As Americans remembered the war, and baseball, in glorious military terms, they ignored the racial and political issues which drove the nation apart.

  • Big Leaguers in the ETO
    Welcome to the first edition of the Baseball in Wartime Newsletter for 2015. We’re starting the year with a rather over ambitious project—a record of major leaguers who served in the European Theater during World War II. The list includes 147 major league players, one manager, three coaches, four umpires, a broadcaster and 18 Negro League players. For the majority of these, I have included brief biographical sketches of their time in Europe which I hope you will enjoy. Future issues of the newsletter will look at players who served in the Pacific, the Mediterranean, the Atlantic and the United States. Researching WWII baseball is, and always will be, an ongoing project for me. If you can add any names to this list of players who served in Europe I would be very pleased to hear from you. I’d like to thank Ken Sulik for his assistance with information for this project. Big Leaguers in the ETO ore than 500 major league players Infantry Regiment, along with the 422nd, were swapped flannels for military uniforms encircled by enemy forces and cut off from the during World War II, and stars like Joe remainder of the 106th Infantry Division in the vicinity DiMaggio, Ted Williams and Stan Musial of Schonberg, Belgium. The two Regiments (6,000 M troops) surrendered to the Germans on December served their nation off the diamond. This issue of the Baseball in Wartime Newsletter looks at those who 19, 1944, in one of the largest mass surrenders in served in the European Theater, including no less American military history.

  • A History of the Presentation of American Football in England and Germany
    FROM VIOLENCE TO PARTY: A HISTORY OF THE PRESENTATION OF AMERICAN FOOTBALL IN ENGLAND AND GERMANY DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Lars Dzikus, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Melvin L. Adelman, Adviser Professor Sarah K. Fields Adviser Professor William J. Morgan College of Education ABSTRACT While scholars have widely discussed the cultural, economic, and political influence of the United States on Europe in general and Germany in particular, the realm of sports has received surprisingly little attention. This study ties in with the scholarly debate about Americanization and / or globalization that started in the first half the 1990s. It examines the presentation of American football in England from the 1890s through World War II as well as in Germany following the war to the present day. The study discusses what non-Americans wrote about football and what their countrymen and –women read about it. The study draws on English and German newspapers and magazines, particularly the London Times and the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. It also examines the role American military, radio, television, and movies played in the diffusion of American football. In the case of Germany, the researcher draws on extensive qualitative interviews with several of the “founding fathers” of American football in Germany as well as his own experiences in the sport. The work demonstrates that American football arrived in Germany on a field that had been prepared by a three-hundred-year process of imagining Amerika.

  • Baseball in the Olympics
    BASEBALL IN THE OLYMPICS by Pete Cava ©1991 This summer in Barcelona, baseball makes it official debut as an Olympic sport, four years short of a century since Baron Pierre de Coubertin revived the Games in Athens in 1896. Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear: As the good Baron pondered the possibilities of an Olympics with no cable television revenue, across the waves the National League was preparing for its 21st season as America’s top baseball circuit. While some 311 athletes from 13 nations convened for the Games, Ned Hanlon and the Baltimore Orioles were embarking on a third straight drive to the pennant. That year, Greece’s Spiridon Loues raced to the Olympic marathon title and Cleveland’s Jess Burkett took the N. L. batting crown. Baseball and the Olympics were as far apart as Tippecanoe and Timbuktu. For the next four score and seven seasons, that, for the most part, remained the status quo. Baseball was added as a demonstration sport at the Los Angeles games in 1984 and again at Seoul four years later. This was a prelude to baseball’s current status as a medal sport. Between Athens and Los Angeles, however, baseball has provided some of the more fascinating and underexplored corridors of Olympic history. Some historians include baseball as an exhibition or demonstration sport in the St. Louis Olympics of 1904. The Games were part of that year’s Louisiana Purchase Exposition, and virtually every amateur sporting contest in St. Louis from May to November was packaged as part of the fair or the Olympics.
