  • An Introduction to Baseball in Austin and Marcusen Park
    An introduction to Baseball in Austin and Marcusen Park. From 1937 to 1953, the Southern Minny League largely dominated in the state baseball tournament. During those years, the Southern Minny’s post-season tournament champion1 won the state tournament at either the A or AA level twelve times. Only once did the Southern Minny’s representative fail to place first or second when Austin dropped a first round game in the tournament in 1939. Despite the phenomenal success of Austin’s program particularly in the post-World War II era, baseball in Austin did lead a bit of a vagabond life. At times, there simply was no home for baseball at all and others no dedicated home. Even so, Austin has hosted many historic moments, players and teams. The first of which is reflected on the back of this Ted Williams baseball card. The referenced no-hitter in Austin triggered much of my interest in researching baseball in Southern Minnesota. John Donaldson actually lost the game with the no-hitter intact due to an error (or two). This game is believed to have taken place in Lafayette Park. If elected to the Hall of Fame in 2020, Donaldson will join Burleigh Grimes, Jose Mendez and Satchel Paige as the known Hall of Fame members to have played in Austin. 1. The Southern Minny held a post-season tournament to determine the state representative. Speaking of Burleigh Grimes: Became available when Minnesota-Wisconsin League disbanded on July 1, 1912. “Grimes, a new recruit, was on the rubber and won himself a berth with us.

Abstract The First Fifty Years of Professional Baseball in Richmond, Virginia: 1883-1932 Scott Patrick Mayer Master of Arts in History ,University ofRichmond, May 2001 Advisor: Dr. W. Harrison Daniel A detailed history of Richmond, Virginia's relationship with professional baseball has never been chronicled, especially the turbulent, early years of its development. This study explores Richmond's relationship with baseball from 1883-1932. It includes information about the men who played on the field, the team owners, and also comments on the relationship shared by the team and the city. The most reliable source of information regarding early baseball is the local newspaper. A detailed reading of the Richmond Daily Dispatch, and the successive Richmond Dispatch and Richmond Times-Dispatch, was undertaken for this project. While several newspapers have existed in Richmond's history, often competing for readership during the same period, the Dispatch was selected for its continuity in publication and for its support and consistent reporting ofbaseball.
