  • Base Ball’ in Kalamazoo (Before 1890)
    All About Kalamazoo History – Kalamazoo Public Library ‘Base Ball’ in Kalamazoo (Before 1890) “Hip, Hip... Huzzah!” If you’re under the impression that Kalamazoo has only recently become involved in the sport of professional and semi-professional baseball, think again. Our community’s love affair with America’s favorite pastime dates back to the days before the Civil War when the town itself was little more than a frontier village, and the passion of local fans has seldom wavered since. America’s Game The game of Base Ball (then two words) originated in the 1840s, and was (and still is) a uniquely American sport. In its infancy, baseball was very much a gentleman’s game, where runs were called “tallies,” outs were “kills,” and the batter (“striker”) had the right to say how the ball (then tossed underhand) should be pitched. According to author and MLB historian John Thorn, “It was thought unmanly to not catch with bare hands,” so no gloves were worn, and if a ball was Kalamazoo Telegraph, 2 October 1867 hit into the grandstand, it was to be thrown back onto the playing field. Umpires (then “referees”) enforced strict rules of conduct, and players (“base ballists”) could be fined for such ungentlemanly conduct as swearing, spitting, disputing a referee’s decision, or failing to tip one’s hat to a feminine spectator. Admission prices were inflated to keep out the “undesirables,” and the use of alcohol and tobacco was strictly prohibited. The “New Game” Comes to Kalamazoo Legend has it that the sport of baseball as we know it was first introduced in Kalamazoo during the late 1850s by one John McCord, who, after seeing the game played while attending school in New York, was finally able to persuade his friends back home in Kalamazoo to try it.

  • Baseball in Kalamazoo (Since 1890)
    All About Kalamazoo History – Kalamazoo Public Library Baseball in Kalamazoo (Since 1890) The Dead Ball Era A Rough and Rowdy Sport By the late 1800s, baseball had become America’s favorite pastime—perhaps the most widely played sport in the country—and it had changed considerably. No longer a casual game reserved for the country club elite, baseball had become a rough and rowdy sport of the working class, where beer and cigars were seemingly required equipment, and ardent rivalries among local and regional teams were Kalamazoo College Men's Baseball Team, c.1896 Kalamazoo College CACHE: College Academic and Historical Experience commonplace. It was during this era that the American Association (1882 to 1891) earned its nickname “Beer and Whiskey League” for selling beer at games (four of the league’s owners were brewmasters), playing on Sundays (a 19th century taboo), and opening the sport to working-class spectators.

Clubs composed of businessowners and others who could enjoy leisure activities on workday afternoons soon gave way to town teams, and in some instances, amateur teams gave way to semipro teams.1 Twenty years after the Frontiers participated in the first intercity matches with clubs in Kansas City, the first professional minor league teams represented cities in Kansas when Leavenworth and Topeka became members of the Western League in 1886 (Table 1).

  • Baseball in Wartime Newsletter Spring 2016
    Somewhere in England Baseball in the European Theater during 1943 Baseball European in the Baseball in Wartime Newsletter—Special Edition Vol. 8 No. 42 Spring 2016 Introduction I’m sure you’ve already noticed that this newsletter is a little different from previous editions. For some time now I’ve been planning on compiling a detailed history of the baseball season played by the US military in Britain in 1943. Why 1943? Well, apart from featuring two major events – an all-professional game in London and the 20-team ETO World Series - it was the only “stable” year for American servicemen in Europe. American military personnel began arriving in 1942, but their numbers were limited, movement was regular and no formal baseball leagues were in operation. In 1944, there were more servicemen in Britain than any other year, but with the invasion of mainland Europe in June, many units were either there for only a brief period of time or on the move to Europe in support of advancing troops. In 1945, the war in Europe came to an end in May, and while it’s true thousands of servicemen remained until at least the end of the summer, many units were shipping back home or to the Pacific immediately after the Nazi surrender. Therefore, 1943, was the only year in which a large number of units had arrived during the preceding winter or spring months and remained until at least the following year. One thing I should point out is that this is not a complete account of every game played by American servicemen during 1943.
