  • Ryan King-White Dissertation
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: BASEBALL, CITIZENSHIP, AND NATIONAL IDENTITY IN GEORGE W. BUSH’S AMERICA Ryan Edward King‐White, Doctor of Philosophy, 2008 Dissertation directed by: Professor David L. Andrews Department of Kinesiology The four separate, but related, studies within this research project seek to offer a critical understanding for how American national identit(ies), and particular forms of (cultural) citizenship are discursively constructed and performed in and through the sport of baseball. More specifically, this dissertation will utilize and expand upon critical theories of neoliberalism, citizenship, whiteness, and (physical) cultural studies to engage various empirical sites, which help provide the context for everyday life in contemporary America. Each chapter looks at various empirical aspects of the Little League World Series and the fans of the Boston Red Sox (popularly referred to as Red Sox Nation) that have historically privileged particular performances and behaviors often associated with white, American, heterosexual, upper‐middle class, masculine subject‐positions. In the first instance this project also attempts to describe how ‘normalized’ American citizenship is being (re)shaped in and through the sport of baseball. Secondly, I aim to critically evaluate claims made by both Little League Baseball, and the Boston Red Sox organization, in response to (popular) criticisms (Bryant, 20002; Mosher, 2001a, 2001b, 2001c) of regressive activity and behavior historically related to their organizations, that they

This celebration will be observed by the Boston Red 5 Sox, their millions of fans, and by traditional baseball and architecture lovers across the country 6 and globe; and 7 WHEREAS, Fenway Park opened in 1912 and is the oldest Major League Baseball Park 8 still in use. Built for the then-princely sum of $650,000, its asymmetrical design stemmed from 9 the need to position the park against the contours of the bustling and dense “Fenway-Kenmore” 10 neighborhood of Boston. Its architecture resulted in a small capacity for a major league baseball 11 park and its many endearing features, such as the short Pesky Pole down the right field line and 12 the “Triangle” in deep Center Field. Fenway Park’s lack of much foul territory brings the 13 spectators very close to the action and helps give it its reputation as a “hitters park,” because most 14 foul balls hit by a batter land in the stands, out of the grasp of the fielders, thus affording hitters 15 extra swings at the plate; and 16 WHEREAS, Fenway Park’s most prominent, famous, and beloved feature is the Green 17 Monster in the left field.

The New York Yankees, Philadelphia/Oakland Athletics, and St. Louis Cardinals have won many. The Boston Red Sox, Chicago White Sox, and San Francisco Giants endured decades-long dry spells before they finally won the orldW Series. Even expansion teams like the New York Mets, Toronto Blue Jays, Kansas City Royals, and Florida Marlins have won multiple championships. Other expansion teams like the San Diego Padres and Texas Rangers have been to the Fall Classic multiple times, although they did not win. Then we have the Chicago Cubs. The Cubs have not been to a World Series since 1945, and have not won one since 1908.

  • 2007 NBC World Series Report
    2007 NBC World Series Report INTRODUCTION This document contains the 2007 World Series Report, including Scorer’s Essay, the Tournament Brackets, line scores for each game, statistics for each team, trophy winners, the breakdown for tournament compensation and the media summaries. THE 73 RD ANNUAL NBC WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT The 2007 NBC World Series witnessed another first-time Champion, just as it did in 2006. The Havasu (AZ) Heat of the Pacific Southwest League won their first NBC title by defeating the Hays (KS) Larks in a 14-2 victory. Just as with the previous tournament, the Champion went undefeated with a 7-0 record. The Heat became the first team from Arizona to win the Championship. The Heat was an offensive juggernaut throughout the tournament, leading all teams with a .345 Batting Average and cranking out 11 Home Runs, more than doubling the previous team high of five. Havasu outscored its seven tournament opponents by a score of 71-20 with 40 of those runs coming in the first four innings of their games. The 2006 Champion and Runner-Up gave the Heat their closest games of the tournament. Havasu came from behind in the top of the ninth inning to defeat the Derby (KS) Twins by a score of 6-4 (12 innings); then the next night defeated the defending Champion, the Santa Barbara (CA) Foresters, by a score of 7-6. The Hays (KS) Larks played Havasu twice in the tournament and lost 11 - 7 (11 Innings) and 14 - 2 respectively. In the Championship Game, Hays shortstop Mike Brownstein hit a double down the right field line and was in scoring position with one out and advanced to third on a fielder’s choice.
