  • 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.

  • 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.

    scranton/wilkes-barre railriders game notes scranton/wilkes-barre railriders (71-62) @ pawtucket red sox (56-76) RHP Michael King (1-1, 4.97) vs. RHP Ryan Weber (1-4, 4.60) | Game No. 134 | McCoy Stadium | Pawtucket, RI | August 27, 2019 | First Pitch 7:05 p.m. | last time out... upcoming schedule / results date opponent result PAWTUCKET (August 26, 2019) -- For the second time in just over a week, Ryan McBroom belted a go-ahead home run in extra August 19 vs. Pawtucket W 11-1 innings – this time, a three-run blast that put the RailRiders on top 7-4 Monday night in a 10-inning win over the Pawtucket Red Sox. August 20 vs. Pawtucket L 7-4 The game moved to extra innings to set up the McBroom heroics when the RailRiders plated a go-ahead run in the top of the August 21 vs. Pawtucket W 4-2 ninth on a double by Wendell Rijo. The next man up was Billy Burns who sacrificed him to third base, but the throw to first base August 22 vs. Pawtucket W 4-3 by Tanner Houck sailed away down the line into foul territory and allowed Rijo to score to put the RailRiders on top 4-3. The August 23 @ Lehigh Valley W 11-4 bottom of the ninth inning featured Josh Ockimey’s game-tying solo homer to make it 4-4 and set the scene for McBroom’s blast. August 24 @ Lehigh Valley L 7-3 August 25 @ Lehigh Valley L 6-2 Scranton/Wilkes-Barre got the best Triple-A start to date for starting pitcher Nick Nelson, who was overpowering at times, not August 26 @ Pawtucket 7:05 PM allowing a hit until the fifth inning.
