  • By Kimberly Parkhurst Thesis
    America’s Pastime: How Baseball Went from Hoboken to the World Series An Honors Thesis (HONR 499) by Kimberly Parkhurst Thesis Advisor Dr. Bruce Geelhoed Ball State University Muncie, Indiana April 2020 Expected Date of Graduation July 2020 Abstract Baseball is known as “America’s Pastime.” Any sports aficionado can spout off facts about the National or American League based on who they support. It is much more difficult to talk about the early days of baseball. Baseball is one of the oldest sports in America, and the 1800s were especially crucial in creating and developing modern baseball. This paper looks at the first sixty years of baseball history, focusing especially on how the World Series came about in 1903 and was set as an annual event by 1905. Acknowledgments I would like to thank Carlos Rodriguez, a good personal friend, for loaning me his copy of Ken Burns’ Baseball documentary, which got me interested in this early period of baseball history. I would like to thank Dr. Bruce Geelhoed for being my advisor in this process. His work, enthusiasm, and advice has been helpful throughout this entire process. I would also like to thank Dr. Geri Strecker for providing me a strong list of sources that served as a starting point for my research. Her knowledge and guidance were immeasurably helpful. I would next like to thank my friends for encouraging the work I do and supporting me. They listen when I share things that excite me about the topic and encourage me to work better. Finally, I would like to thank my family for pushing me to do my best in everything I do, whether academic or extracurricular.

  • All In: Cleveland Rocks As Title Drought Ends with NBA Crown by Tom Withers, Associated Press on 06.23.16 Word Count 828
    All in: Cleveland rocks as title drought ends with NBA crown By Tom Withers, Associated Press on 06.23.16 Word Count 828 Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James (bottom) dunks past Golden State Warriors forward Harrison Barnes during the second half of Game 5 of basketball's NBA Finals in Oakland, California, June 13, 2016. The Cavaliers won 112-97. They went on to win the championship. Photo: John G. Mabanglo, European Pressphoto Agency via AP, Pool CLEVELAND — More tears — only this time, tears of joy. Cleveland's championship drought, crossing 52 years, generations and noted by a long list of near misses, is over at last. On Father's Day, LeBron James, the kid from nearby Akron raised by a single mother, brought the title home. As the final seconds of Cleveland's 93-89 victory at Golden State in Game 7 ticked off on the giant scoreboard inside Quicken Loans Arena, 18,000 fans, some of them strangers when Sunday night began, cried, hugged, screamed and shared a moment many of them have spent a lifetime dreaming of. They then linked arms and shouted the words to Queen's "We Are The Champions," a song that seemed reserved only for others. For the first time since 1964, when the Browns ruled the NFL, Cleveland is a title town again. With James leading the way and winning MVP honors, the Cavs became the first team in NBA Finals history to overcome a 3-1 deficit. Call it The Comeback. At 10:37 p.m., Cleveland finally exorcised decades of sports demons — the painful losses given nicknames like "The Drive" and "The Fumble" and "The Shot" — and became a title town for the first time since Dec.

  • Baseball, Jews and the American Dream by Jared Sichel, Posted on Apr
    Baseball, Jews and the American dream by Jared Sichel, posted on Apr. 7, 2016 at 11:08 am In 1903, the Yiddish-language Forverts published a letter from a Russian immigrant, who’d written to say he didn’t understand the point of the game of baseball, the sport so beloved by all Americans. “What is the point of a crazy game like baseball?” the perplexed reader asked. “I want my boy to grow up to be a mensh, not a wild American runner.” “Let your boys play baseball and play it well,” Forverts publisher Abraham Cahan wrote back. “Let us not raise the children that they grow up foreigners in their own birthplace.” Six years later, the Forverts published a column that attempted to explain this strange game to its readers, many of them recent immigrants from Europe eager to leave behind the Old Country to become American. The piece was illustrated with a baseball diamond with Yiddish notations, including detailed explanations of the “defense party” and the “enemy party” — meaning the team in the field and the team at bat. “To us immigrants, this all seems crazy, however, it’s worthwhile to understand what kind of craziness it is,” the Forverts said. “If an entire nation is crazy over something, it’s not too much to ask to try and understand what it means.” More than a century later, Americans are still crazy about baseball. Major League Baseball is the second- largest professional sports league in the world by annual revenue ($9.5 billion in 2015), second only to the National Football League.
