POWER OF PLACE 05/23/15 The beatification of Archbishop Óscar Romero brought half a million peo- ple to the Plaza Divino Salvador del Mundo. Among them: dozens of alumni from Santa Clara’s Casa de la Solidaridad in El Salvador, as well as Ana María Pineda, RSM, an associate professor of religious studies who this year taught a course at SCU on Romero and the Salvadoran martyrs. In February, days after Pope Francis officially declared Romero a martyr, Sister Pineda and colleague Juan Velasco hosted “A Legacy of Love and Jus- tice,” honoring Romero and Rutilio Grande, S.J., a Salvadoran Jesuit killed by soldiers in 1977. Grande was Romero’s friend; his assassination was a catalyst for Romero taking the cause of El Salvador’s poor as his own. That in turn cost Archbishop Romero his life; in March 1980, he was shot while saying Mass. The Church has also begun the process of sainthood for Fr. Grande—an uncle to Sister Pineda. Born in San Salvador, she lived in the United States; in 1979 she traveled to meet Archbishop Romero. “His beatification recognizes what he was in the life of the Church in El Salvador—and also beyond those borders,” she says.

SPRING/SUMMER 2015 21 Barcelona Siesta On a Fulbright to Spain, in pursuit of the meaning of sleep. In the 21st century, it’s not

what it used to be. BY MAYA KROTH ’01

The truth is, I didn’t even particularly like naps. All those daylight hours, wasted. Even as an infant I protested, lobbing baby bottles from my crib whenever my parents tried to put me down for the afternoon. So I was as surprised as anyone when I landed in Madrid in the fall of 2012 with a Fulbright fellow- ship to write a book about the Spanish siesta. Orientation was held in a fancy hotel in the Chamberí district. When I told my fellow grantees about my research, the reaction was always the same: stunned silence for a beat, then a peal of laughter, then back to a straight-faced expression: “No, really, what are you studying?” Despite sounding like a punch line, my project was meant to delve into serious questions about time, sleep, and leisure in a 21st-century globalized world. In my lifetime, technology has upped the tempo of life so much that time itself seems to have dissolved. Thanks to instantaneous communications, we inhabit what sociologist Manuel Castells calls “timeless time,” a perpetual now. With busyness a cherished value, sleep seems like a relic from another century, and those who prioritize it are deemed frivolous at best, morally defective at worst. Where did these ideas about sleep originate? Have people always associated napping with sloth—or only recently? Which forces contributed to develop- ment of the siesta as an institution? Which are lobbying for its demise?

SIESTA AND STEREOTYPES “You’re studying siesta?” asked María Bajo de la Fuente, an English teacher at a school in suburban Barcelona. I’d come to survey students about their sleep habits. She grimaced. “Well … it’s a topic.” Later I realized she was mistranslating the Spanish word tópico, meaning cliché. She chided me that siesta was an outdated stereotype perpetuated by foreigners. To an extent, she’s right: For most people, commuting home to nap is no more possible in Barcelona or Madrid than in New York or London. There’s Daydreams: This also been a generational shift as young workers shake off their parents’ customs. piece of Barcelona As a result, studies find only 7 to 16 percent of Spaniards take a daily siesta—far by architect Gaudí fewer than in Germany, the UK, and even the United States, where a 2009 Pew still enchants. So poll found that more than a third of us reported having napped in the last day. does the notion of a daily siesta. At the end of my class visit, another teacher offered some advice. “Siesta, it’s not so important in Catalunya,” she said, shaking a finger at me. (Barcelona is the capital of Catalunya.) “You need to go to the south.” She meant the largely agricultural region of Andalusía, where, the logic goes, the hotter weather keeps people idle during the afternoon hours. That also plays into deep-seated regional stereotypes—for example, the hard-working Catalans toiling to pay for the welfare of those siesta-taking slackers in the south, where unemployment had recently hit 40 percent. Few Barcelona students I surveyed said they thought siesta was an important Spanish tradition. Yet a 2009 study by Spain’s Health Education Foundation found Catalans to be, in fact, slightly more somnolent than their southern brethren, with 17.1 percent admitting to taking a daily nap, compared to 16.6 percent in Andalusía. When it comes to the siesta, maybe stereotypes aren’t just for foreigners.

THE SLEEP DOCTOR The idea that climate is the cause of daytime sleepiness “is a total lie,” says Dr. Eduard Estivill. “Americans need a nap as much as the Spanish.” An avuncular man of about 65 with a broad smile and a twinkle in his eye, Estivill is one of Spain’s foremost sleep doctors. I met him at his elegant home in Barcelona’s chic Sant Gervasi neighborhood (singer Shakira lives nearby)

SPRING/SUMMER 2015 29 THE CUP OF COFFEE There’s an alternate universe where the story of Charlie Graham is appearing not in these pages but in Boston Col- lege Magazine. Maybe a street around Fenway even bears his name in this parallel baseball timeline. The movement of the Pacific and North American Plates made sure this never happened. Charlie Graham arrived in Boston with his wife following a cross-country train trip. The couple had left their young daughter, Mary Claire, with a family member at their home near St. Dominic’s Catholic Church in San Francisco. The season began with an inauspicious start, Boston dropping its first three games. Then on April 18, 1906, the Americans and New York Highlanders (now Yankees) played 11 innings that ended in a 3–3 tie. The New York Times isn’t specific as to why the game was called, but it could have been outright fatigue. New York had burned through three pitchers and the team had already played a few extra-inning tilts in the season’s opening week. Graham didn’t do much at the plate on April 18 and made a wild throw that led to New York’s first run. That same day, the Great Quake struck San Francisco. One of Mary Claire’s first memories is standing outside and holding one of her aunt’s fingers, surrounded by the con- fused and displaced people of the city. In Mike and Fran’s estimation, there are three possible explanations for why Charlie Graham left Boston to return Opening day, 1937: home. The first would be: He just couldn’t make it against in major league competition. Yet Boston had already invested San Francisco— a decent salary in their new catcher. Charlie Graham’s .233 considered the park of parks in its day. batting average doesn’t look so bad as a catcher on a team This was the Giants’ that hit .237. The second possibility is that Tacoma had of- first home by the fered Charlie Graham an even higher salary to return to bay, too. the team as a player/manager. The third is that Charlie Graham returned to San Francisco to reunite his family. “It’s always been something of a mystery,” Fran says.

THE SEALS “Your father is dead.” There was no way for Mike Smith’s mother to sugarcoat the news. Mike and Fran’s father, Francis Smith ’26, a gradu- ate of Santa Clara and a lawyer, had an aneurysm during the night. Mike and Fran were ages 7 and 5 at the time. Mike remembers leaving immediately for their grandparents’ house, about a mile away in St. Cecilia’s parish in San Fran- cisco, where they had dinner the night before. The next day he got in the only fight from his childhood, punching a classmate in the street when they returned home the next day to pick up some things. He doesn’t recall why he threw the punch, just that he only swung once and ran like hell. From then on, Mike, Fran, and their mother Mary Claire lived with Charlie. When Fran and Michael talk about their grandfather, there is still a certain awe, as he was very much a father to them. The first thing they remember are his hands— the twisted knuckles and broken fingers, “the scars of catching,” as Fran puts it. Neither of them remembers their grandfather ever cursing or losing his temper. If you let him down you were “a chump.” Fran wonders aloud whether Michael had ever been busted by their grandfather for smoking in the house. The older brother’s eyes widen for a second. “Never,” Mike says. “I would remember that.” By the time Mike and Fran had moved in with their grand- father in the late 1930s, Charlie Graham was a longtime owner of the beloved San Francisco Seals, one of the Pa- cific Coast League’s more successful franchises.

The baseball busi- ness boomed as well. Strub and Graham negotiated the sale of players to the majors to keep the team’s coffers full. Their biggest deal came when third baseman Willie Kamm was purchased for a record $100,000 by the Chicago White Sox in 1922. The check for the transaction was framed in the Seals’ front office until the team was disbanded in 1957. Fans came in droves; the Seals regularly led the league in attendance, drawing as many as 365,000 fans some years. And the minor leagues were wild. Consider epic tales like “the longest home run in baseball history,” a supposed 618- foot moonshot off the bat of the Oakland Oaks’ Roy Car- lyle that cleared the fence, a street, and two houses before landing in a rain gutter. Or the time that Paul “Big Poison” Waner, the 5-foot-8, 140-pound Seals outfielder became the first player in PCL history to bat .400. He nearly missed this feat when he succumbed to a mysterious illness late in the season. His batting average plunged until the source of his weakness was found: He had been playing the entire season with buckshot lodged in his jaw from an offseason hunting accident.

That said, among the many people who knew Charlie Graham and respected him for his character, friendship, and leadership was Vara Strub, the widow of his old team- mate and business partner. When Santa Clara University admitted women in 1961, the first all-female dorms were to be named after SCU’s greatest female benefactors, one of whom happened to be Strub. As it turned out, there was a bit more money in horseracing than baseball. When Vara Strub was approached by SCU President Pat- rick Donohoe, S.J., about this distinction, she demurred; she didn’t want a building named for her. But she had some- one in mind whom she considered worthy of the honor. “After all that time, she selected our grandfather,” Fran Smith says. Some years after that, Fran approached Fr. Donohoe and asked him about the decision. The president replied, “Charlie Graham was the kind of person we hope to pro- duce at Santa Clara.”

Sure, we’ll miss having men’s pro soccer play on campus. But their new home is pretty spectacular.

BY SAM SCOTT ’96

You might not expect , the president of the , to feel stadium nostalgia. But Kaval offers up nothing but good things about the home turf where, last fall, the Quakes wrapped up a seven-year run: SCU’s Buck Shaw Stadium, which provided a home when the team came back to Silicon Valley in 2008. Last season, teams averaged attendance nearing 20,000 fans a game. So Buck Shaw’s 10,500 capacity might seem quaint. But that very size—and the crowd pressing in—helped make it one of the league’s most for- midable destinations for visitors. In 2012, no team had a better home record than the Quakes. “It was a fortress,” Kaval says of Buck Shaw. “We were so grateful to be able to play there.” At SCU, the Quakes gathered energy and resources for their push for a new stadium. They also brought upgrades to SCU’s field, scoreboard, sound system, and lighting—not to mention some first-rate media exposure. Safe to say David Beckham hadn’t played in this small a stadium in quite some time. The new $100 million Avaya Stadium is on San Jose’s Coleman Avenue. A permanent home was always part of the plans—just ask SCU grads Mike Turco ’87 and Colin McCarthy J.D. ’97, who co-founded Soccer Silicon Val- ley more than a decade ago to bring the Quakes back and help them build a home. Now McCarthy heads the SSV Community Foundation, engaged in soccer outreach. Buck Shaw Stadium’s storied soccer history includes hosting 1994 World Cup champions Brazil, Women’s Professional Soccer team FC Gold Pride, and of course SCU’s NCAA championship teams. “So many more soccer fans have been on our campus because of the Earth- quakes, and that only adds to the soccer buzz on our campus,” says Eric Yama- moto ’90, associate head coach of Santa Clara men’s soccer. “For our teams to see professional players, coaches, and staff on a daily basis gave them something Earthquakes mascot to look to for their future.” “Q” (for Quakes) at The departure of the Quakes closes a chapter.

Avaya Stadium’s steeply banked European-style seating puts fans close to the action—with room for nearly 8,000 more of them. It also boasts what is pur- ported to be the largest outdoor bar in North America.

With a heavily obstructed view and barely an Internet connection so deep in the sta- ful, distinct, and sometimes troubling. dium, they had only a fuzzy idea of the drama unfolding on the field, as the Royals came within a hairbreadth of snatching the title. The one player they could see was third baseman Pablo Sandoval. He made the final out. Then it was onto the field and into the locker room. The third title relieved Srabian—father of three boys— of a looming Solomonic dilemma: How to split two rings with three sons? As the title neared, the chance for a way out became a running joke, says Srabian. “Needless to say, there is pressure to have a fourth child, mostly from my Giants friends.” The run of glory stands in contrast to the years just prior, says David Fujito ’86, an app developer who helps Shelley and others in baseball operations get a technical leg up. His first five years, the team didn’t get a whiff of the playoffs. Now Fujito—who kept his status as die-hard season-ticket holder to himself when he interviewed for the position— has his dream job and the jewels to show for it. (Not that he wears them much.
