The final product, entitled the Ripken Report, focused on Engel Stadium’s potential as a sports stadium, but it did not recognize Engel Stadium’s value as a historic site. Janna Jahn, executive director of the Engel Foundation, consulted with the Tennessee Department of Tourism to find an organization that would produce a heritage development plan for Engel Stadium. The Tennessee Department of Tourism put Ms. Jahn in contact with Dr. Carroll Van West of Middle Tennessee State University’s Center for Historic Preservation (CHP) in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. In July of 2013, the CHP made an initial visit to Engel Stadium to evaluate the site’s needs and began the process of communicating with stakeholders. Based on a discussion with the Engel Foundation board, Chancellor Steve R. Angle of the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga (UTC), and community members, Dr. West determined that a heritage development plan would be a valuable planning document to guide the future work of the Engel Foundation and UTC in running Engel Stadium as a historic site. Dr. Rachel Martin, the new assistant director of the CHP, expressed an interest in the project and was appointed as the chief staff member. Under the leadership of Dr. Martin, a group of graduate students from the Spring 2014 Historic Preservation Seminar at MTSU spent the semester working on a heritage development plan for the stadium. A preliminary site visit occurred in February 2014. During the first visit, Dr. Martin and graduate students met with Ms. Jahn and interested stakeholders to assess the needs of the project. Students returned for a follow-up visit in mid-March to photograph the condition of the stadium, discuss Ms. Jahn’s vision for the site, and look through the Engel Foundation’s archival collection for pertinent information. Based on the needs expressed by the Engel Foundation, UTC, and the Chattanooga community, this project focuses on four major areas: Historic Interpretation, Exhibit Interpretation, Preservation Needs & Recommendations, and Marketing. It is our hope that this heritage development plan will guide both the short-term and long-term needs of the Engel Foundation and the surrounding community. This project is phase one of an ongoing relationship between the MTSU CHP, Engel Foundation, and UTC. 4 Why Engel Stadium Matters The University of Tennessee-Chattanooga’s Historic Engel Stadium stands as a monument to the past, it lives in the present as a ready-to-use venue, and it possesses a vibrant future. Constructed during the Great Depression, the ballpark embodies a new economy, where educational innovation, civic empowerment, and heritage tourism come together. It is a place with stories to tell, and memories to be found. These stories and memories begin with the ballpark’s namesake, a man who became one of the foremost promoters of Chattanooga and of baseball itself. Much like the structure that stands today, Joe Engel embodied tenacity and imagination. The son of immigrants, Engel worked his way up through the Washington Senators, first as a batboy, then as a mascot, later as a major league pitcher, and then a longtime scout. In 1929, Senator owners appointed Engel president of their farm team, the Chattanooga Lookouts. In this capacity, Engel founded and built the Lookouts’ state-of-the-art stadium. In an executive career that spanned from 1929 to 1965, he proceeded to become known as the Barnum of baseball, hosting major league exhibition games, a faux “elephant hunt,” a house raffle, and he tried to sign the female pitcher Jackie Mitchell. Twice he saved the team from being sold, rallying local support to secure funds. The only challenge he could not overcome was the advent of television, which drew more and more patrons away from his communal stadium and into the seclusion of their living rooms. Today, there is a public longing for a return to the tangible, original, and memorable. Engel Stadium can meet those needs. It holds stories of community, when the local ballpark worked as a sports venue, social center, and a source civic pride. It also recounts a time of racial and gender struggles, when the African American Chattanooga Choo-Choos played to segregated stands, and the female pitcher Jackie Mitchell could strike out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig in one inning but would not see equality in her lifetime. It is also the story of resilience. The old stadium’s very existence makes it a rare spectacle in an increasingly modernizing landscape. Over the last ten years, the Chattanooga community has committed itself to saving the stadium by repairing the roof, removing some of the modern structures and forming the Engel Foundation. The University of Chattanooga has taken ownership of the building, and at a recent meeting, their president proudly announced the school’s commitment to saving the structure. 5 Their combined efforts have returned the complex to Joe Engel’s original vision: it is once again a local gathering place and a monument to the glory days of baseball. Their efforts have opened new avenues for the stadium to function as an educational and historical venue. Through a growing network of public and private partnerships, UTC’s Engel Stadium can become a major center for a modern audience, an audience that includes the city, region, and country. For the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, who saved and owns the stadium, the structure is a concrete example of their commitment to the community and to heritage preservation. Of all the minor league baseball stadiums built before the Second World War, only two are currently owned by institutions of higher learning - Vermont University’s Centennial Field, and UTC’s Engel Stadium. With its off-campus location, the site also serves as an ideal, shared linking point between the university and its surrounding neighborhoods, a way for them to build upon “town and gown” relationships. For baseball purists, UTC’s Engel Stadium is a must-see destination, and it bears the footprints of legends. Willie Mays played here in his youth, as did Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig in their prime. At 471 feet, Engel’s straightaway center remains one of the longest in the history of professional baseball. Hall of famer Harmon Killebrew remains the only hitter ever to blast a home run over its centerfield wall. The major motion picture 42 was filmed here, and the real life Jackie Robinson indeed played at Engel in 1952. For the students of UTC, the stadium can provide invaluable internships, classroom fieldwork, and volunteer opportunities in historical research, architecture, marketing, community outreach, and event planning. The site could also be the setting for fall semester kickoffs, movie nights, intramurals, and concerts. For the Engel Foundation, they have brought life back to a once-dying park, and they are a model for how to save and invigorate historic sites in the twenty-first century. Rather than encasing its rooms in plexiglass and roping off its field, the Foundation rightfully sees UTC’s Engel Stadium as an artifact in motion, where visitors can come to recount old memories and to make new ones. For the community of Chattanooga, this is the place of memories. Engel not only housed the Lookouts, it also served as a soup kitchen during the Great Depression, a

    Roy Sievers “A Hero may die, but his memory lives on” ©DiamondsintheDusk.com By BILL HASS I had missed it in the sports section and on the internet. A friend of my mentioned it to me and sent me a link to the story. On April 3 – ironically, right at the start of the 2017 baseball season – Roy Sievers died at age 90. I felt a pang of deep sadness. After all, no matter how old you get, the little kid in you expects your heroes to live for- ever. As the years passed and I didn’t see any kind of obitu- ary on Sievers, I thought perhaps he might actually do that. I knew better, of course. Sometimes reality has a way of intruding on your impossible dreams, and maybe it’s just as well. I have never been much for having heroes. Oh, there are plenty of people I have admired and some of them have done heroic things. But a hero is someone who stays constant, someone you root for no matter what, and people in sports lend themselves to that. Roy Sievers was a genuine hero for me, and, really, the only athlete I ever put in that category. Let me explain why. In the early 1950s, when I first became aware of baseball, my family lived in the northern Virginia suburbs of Wash- ington, D.C. I rooted for the Washington Senators (known to their fans as the “Nats”), to whom the adjective “downtrod- den” was constantly applied, if not invented. Prior to the 1954 season, the Nats obtained Sievers in a trade with the Baltimore Orioles, formerly the St.

  • Dad's Eulogy Rev2
    Dad’s Eulogy Intro by Priest: Francis (Bud) J. Offermann III, eldest son of the late Francis (Frank) J. Offermann Jr. First and most of all I want to thank all of you – friends, family, and work colleagues for coming today to my father’s memorial service. I especially want to reach out and thank my sister Barbara Townsend, who has been an amazing tour de force organizing all of Dad’s affairs, including all of his legal cases that he was still working on, and this wonderful memorial service. Barbara thanks for your tireless work. Also, a big thanks to my brother Geoff for helping me prepare these remarks of remembrance. Finally, I also want to thank my Mom, for reminding me several times this last week, that there is no such thing as a bad short speech. Thanks Mom. Francis J. Offermann Jr. was otherwise known as Buddy by his siblings, Frank by his professional 1 colleagues, Banka by his grandchildren, and the Big O by his children. And personally for me, he was my Papa Bear. First I want to say a few words about my Dad’s upbringing. My Dad was born on August 11, 1926 to Isabelle Cole and Frank J. Offermann Sr., who was the first Democratic Sheriff in Erie County, owner of Frank J. Offermann Art Works, and one of the owners of the Buffalo Bisons baseball team. Frank and Isabelle raised three sons, Francis Jr., Paul, and Carl and one daughter, Jeanne. When my Dad was 9, his father suddenly passed away, and the boys went off to boarding school at Stella Niagara Cadet School, and then onto La Salle Military Academy.

  • Baseball Day Two Oct 1, 2009 775
    766. Wyatt Earp 1870 Signed Subpoena Resourceful, to say the very least, Wyatt Earp wore the hat of farmer, buffalo hunter, miner and boxing referee (among other endeavors) long before embrac- ing his role at the O.K. Corral. The offered display is an incredibly scarce “Wild West” find: a legal docu- ment signed by Earp. To begin with, Earp’s penning is among the most rare of men of his ilk. Sweetening the pot further is the fact that this bold signature was exe- cuted in a lawman’s capacity. All of 21 years old with volumes of lawless activity still years ahead, Earp, acting as the Barton County, Missouri local constable, penned this subpoena to be served to one Mr. Thomas G. Harvey, informing said party that he would have to testify within a fortnight in the case of Missouri vs. Thomas Brown. Arranged in a handsome 25-3/4 x 17- 1/2” wooden frame, the 7-3/4 x 4-3/4” original docu- ment (shown on the reverse, penned entirely in Earp’s hand) is displayed below a photocopy of the front so that both sides can be viewed simultaneously. On the reverse, Earp has inscribed: “I have served the within summons upon the within named Thomas G. Harvey by reading the same to him this Feb 28, 1870 - W.S. Earp, Const.” The black-ink fountain pen content is crisply executed with Earp’s endorsement projecting (“9-10”) quality. The piece is affected by a small tear at the far left, (3) tiny slashes near the upper portion and a horizontal compacting fold.

  • 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.

  • Mighty Jackie, the Strikeout Queen by Marla Lewis and Les Julian ©2006
    Mighty Jackie, The Strikeout Queen by Marla Lewis and Les Julian ©2006 The year was nineteen thirty one, and exhibition baseball game. The Yankees played an unknown team, Chattanooga Lookouts was its name. Babe Ruth stepped up to bat. To the pitcher, he tipped his hat. What happened next will sound absurd. But it’s the truth, every word! Strike one caught the corner. Babe watched that ball whiz by. Strike two: sinking slider. Babe swung and missed this time. He scowled at the pitcher, that puny thing. The crowd was on its feet. And before Babe knew what was happening, Strike three! Down the middle. The greatest batter in the world stormed back to the dugout; He’s just been struck out by a girl! Mighty Jackie, the Strike-out Queen. Struck ‘em out at seventeen. Ev’ry paper and magazine cheered For Jackie Mitchell, the Strike-out Queen! Up next: Lou Gehrig, well know as Iron Horse. First pitch: wicked sinker; he slammed the air with might force. He glared at the pitcher; he checked his swing. The crowd went crazy now, And before Lou knew what was happening, Strike three! It was over. Witnessed by the whole wide world, Lou stormed to the dug-out He’d just been struck out by a girl! (Chorus) Commissioner decided that Jackie should be fired ‘Cause baseball’s not a woman’s game. But we know the truth: She struck out Babe Ruth And now she’s in the Hall of Fame!
