  • Kash Beauchamp Was Born Into Baseball. His Father Jim
    Kash Beauchamp was born into baseball. His father Jim Beauchamp spent 50 years in professional baseball, playing 10 in the Major Leagues for five different teams, was Bobby Cox's bench coach for 9 years where the Atlanta Braves won 9 division titles, a world championship, and three pennants. Jim spent the remainder of his career with the Braves as the supervisor for minor league field operations until his passing on Christmas day in 2008. The experience of growing up in the game obviously impacted Kash Beauchamp's career. After a stellar high school career as a three sport athlete, Kash accepted a scholarship to Bacone College in Muskogee, Oklahoma where he was immediately drafted as the first overall pick in the January, 1982 Major League Baseball Draft ahead of such future stars as Kirby Puckett and Randy Meyers. Beauchamp began his pro career in Medicine Hat where he was a member of the 1982 Pioneer League Champion Medicine Hat Blue Jays. Kash garnered all-star honors after hitting .320 and playing terrific defense in center field. Beauchamp was promoted to the South Atlantic League in 1983 where he played on a star studded team that included, Cecil Fielder, Jose Mesa, Pat Borders, Fred McGriff and David Wells. In 1984 Beauchamp was again promoted to the Carolina League where while playing for the Kinston Blue Jays, he was the MVP of the Carolina League All-Star game by going 5-6 with two triples and a HR with 5 RBI. The same year Beauchamp was voted by Baseball America as the Best Defensive Outfielder and Outfielder with the Best Arm.

  • Baseball, Modernization, and Identity in Oaxaca, México by David James Wysocki Master of Arts in Latin American Studies San Diego State University, 2011
    ANCIENT GAMES: BASEBALL, MODERNIZATION, AND IDENTITY IN OAXACA, MÉXICO _______________ A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of San Diego State University _______________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Latin American Studies _______________ by David James Wysocki Summer 2011 iii Copyright © 2011 by David James Wysocki All Rights Reserved iv DEDICATION This thesis is dedicated to those that work to think from scratch and understand the value of meaning and complexity within us. v ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Ancient Games: Baseball, Modernization, and Identity in Oaxaca, México by David James Wysocki Master of Arts in Latin American Studies San Diego State University, 2011 From the mid-nineteenth century to 1910, Oaxaca, México went through many changes in order to bring stability and grow its stagnated economy. This effort was realized through modernization projects by President Porfirio Díaz, a Oaxacan, that encouraged the building of infrastructure to boost foreign investment while bandwagoning foreign culture. Perceived as civilized and ultra-modern, baseball was adopted by Oaxacan elites to counter- balance the embarrassment they had of their own indigenous population considered backwards. Baseball served primarily an exclusionary function but during the Revolution mass participation began to be seen as a way to reform and socialize the Indian masses. The professional game that emerged in México was powerful but didn’t reach Oaxaca until the 1990s, the local team owned by one of México’s great business moguls. The game abounds with modern and consumerist symbolism but remains tied to Mesoamerican spirituality and mysticism. The stadium itself serves as an international spectacle of baseball exoticisms yet represents a negotiation with the rooted local.

  • Hey Blue! Hey Newsletter Midget AAA July 30-Aug
    Volume 6, Issue 1 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING NEWS AND NOTES Fall 2014 The BCBUA AGM was held in Victoria November 17. Area 1 Representative Eric Ras- mussen hosted our group for the weekend and put on an excellent show. The hotel was first class and we thank Chateau Victoria for providing us with excellent hotel and meeting rooms and top notch service and hospitality. A good local turnout oc- curred and so Victoria area umpires are to be commended for coming out and sup- porting your association. The AGM itself was concluded in good time and was chaired by Vice President Rhonda Pauls as President Berry was absent. There was only 1 item that was voted on by membership – The people in attendance also raised $200 for the Ron Boutang Memorial Umpire Scholarship through a raffle for donated items. The meeting allowed BCBUA to recognize many individuals through our longstanding Awards Program, including the Induction of Ian Lamplugh, Brian Cargnelli, and Don Hass into Life Membership in our association. They are in rare company indeed as the total Life Members now number just 18 in the 40 year existence of the associa- tion. Our members elected the following individuals to the Board of Directors for 2 year terms. John Berry – President (acclaimed through our new nomination system) Sean Sullivan – Treasurer (acclaimed through our new nomination system) Eric Rasmussen – Vancouver Island South (acclaimed at meeting) Gary Webber – Lower Mainland East (acclaimed at meeting) Rick Antoniak – Lower Mainland South (acclaimed at meeting) Darcy Rysz – Okanagan South (acclaimed at meeting) Matt Lowndes– Northern BC (acclaimed at meeting) There were no resignations at the meeting from any current standing members so the remainder of the board remains status quo for 2014.

    . "". SOWENIR PROGRAM 206 www.l donm ~or om www.maJorsstore.com Photos Courtesy of Brown's Photos A LONDON TRADITION SINCE 1925 I President's Message Welcome to the Majors' 2016 Season! Thank you for supporting the Majors in our 92nd season in the Intercounty Baseball League (IBL). Each year I like to reflect on the seasons past that have brought us to where we are today. It's amazing at how many stories I have heard from our fans about how the Majors in some way shape or form had an impact on their lives. This may sound dramatic, but it also may have just been from a passing memory from when they attended a ball game that stuck in their memory. In this edition you will get to read about how the Majors experience had an amazing, life changing impact for one of our past players - Chris Chambers. There are many other stories about player experiences that have radically changed their lives for the better. Hearing these stories makes all of the long hours of preparing for the season well worth it. I think as I get older I feel in my own life that it truly is about the experiences that I get to be a part of. Hearing stories from players that have travelled a great distance for the chance to play for the love of the game is truly phenomenal. This is grassroots baseball at its finest. Thank you to our fans, sponsors, volunteers, game day staff, coaching staff, grounds crew, and City of London administrators who make this experience for me an exciting one each year.

  • General Manager's Message
    North Delta Blue Jays 2014 Building Champions General Manager’s Message Have you ever noticed how disappointed and dejected professional athletes are when they lose a championship game? Has the thought ever crossed your mind that they shouldn’t be so upset since they are so well paid? Does it make you wonder what it is about someone who is financially secure that could cause them to so fervently desire to be the champion of their sport? This says a lot about champions and teams that embody a championship culture. Jeff Janssen of the Janssen Sports Leadership Center has spent considerable time looking at college and professional teams to determine just what makes champions. His work shows that players and programs that have championship cultures place a premium on both results and relationships and have a strong sense of mission and purpose. They know exactly what they want to achieve and have a burning desire to achieve it. They are fully designed and aligned to achieve their goals and are focused on them like a laser beam. They have very high standards and expect everyone to honor those standards. Being a champion requires commitment and discipline to hard work and a focus on improving performance. Professional athletes who experience the disappointment of losing do so in part because they are acutely aware of the sacrifice and work needed to compete at the highest levels. Players who are committed to their goals and their team, find it extremely disappointing to let down themselves and their teammates. Unfortunately the idea of competition has been degraded by many in our society.
