  • Castrovince | October 23Rd, 2016 CLEVELAND -- the Baseball Season Ends with Someone Else Celebrating
    C's the day before: Chicago, Cleveland ready By Anthony Castrovince / MLB.com | @castrovince | October 23rd, 2016 CLEVELAND -- The baseball season ends with someone else celebrating. That's just how it is for fans of the Indians and Cubs. And then winter begins, and, to paraphrase the great meteorologist Phil Connors from "Groundhog Day," it is cold, it is gray and it lasts the rest of your life. The city of Cleveland has had 68 of those salt-spreading, ice-chopping, snow-shoveling winters between Tribe titles, while Chicagoans with an affinity for the North Siders have all been biding their time in the wintry winds since, in all probability, well before birth. Remarkably, it's been 108 years since the Cubs were last on top of the baseball world. So if patience is a virtue, the Cubs and Tribe are as virtuous as they come. And the 2016 World Series that arrives with Monday's Media Day - - the pinch-us, we're-really-here appetizer to Tuesday's intensely anticipated Game 1 at Progressive Field -- is one pitting fan bases of shared circumstances and sentiments against each other. These are two cities, separated by just 350 miles, on the Great Lakes with no great shakes in the realm of baseball background, and that has instilled in their people a common and eventually unmet refrain of "Why not us?" But for one of them, the tide will soon turn and so, too, will the response: "Really? Us?" Yes, you. Imagine what that would feel like for Norman Rosen. He's 90 years old and wise to the patience required of Cubs fandom.

INTRODUCTION The Native American team name and mascot controversy has dismpted the world of American sports for more than six decades. In the 1940s, the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) began a campaign against a variety of negative and unfiattering stereotypes of Indians in American culture.' Over time, the campaign began to focus on the use of Native American team names—like Indians and Redskins—and mascots by college and professional sports teams.2 The NCAI's basic argument was that the use of such names, mascots, and logos was offensive and *J.

Nicholson* Introduction There seems to be a never ending debate over whether the use of the Indian as a team mascot is or is not racist, derogatory, offensive, and/or vulgar (or, as seen by some, all of the aforementioned). What some people view as a harmless representation of a team, others view as a mockery of American Indian culture. Supporters of teams that define themselves by the Indian mascot claim that its use is an honorable one. Opponents argue that the mascot fosters disparagement and insensitivity for a culture that plays an important part of American history. The hostility is mainly channeled to the five professional sports teams that, despite harsh public outcry, continue to be represented by American Indian names and symbols: the Atlanta Braves, Chicago Blackhawks, Cleveland Indians, Kansas City Chiefs, and Washington Redskins.

  • Wahoo, Chief of the Logos
    With the Cleveland Indians on the cusp of a World Series victory (or loss), I’ve dug out the letter the Indians’ manager Al Lopez sent me in May 1955, when I was most of the way through the 7th grade, not just a devoted Indian fan, but heading into my second year as an infielder with the Swampscott Little League’s version of the Indians. Imagine my excitement at seeing that logo on the envelope! And then at the letter from the great Al Lopez, with its incredible letterhead, thus held onto all these years. Holy mackerel. We were on! I didn’t keep a copy of the letter I’d written him, asking for an interview for a school publication that existed mostly in the imagination, mine & a budding sportswriter classmate. All it took was a little chutzpah & a stamp, though I’m sure I didn’t really expect a response, let alone one so personal. !1 Alas, I didn’t keep the schedule, or ticket stubs showing when my friend & I made the great adventure to Fenway to do the interview itself. I had never been there before. I kept no notes, never thought to get a ball signed or take a picture, and, as far as I recall, never wrote up the interview or experience—all part of a dream. The fall before, I’d raced the few miles home by bicycle rather than waiting for the bus in order to catch every possible second of the 1954 series games on tv—which the Indians lost in 4 straight, with many shining moments embedded in baseball history.

  • Bay Rat Road Trips: Take Me out to the Ball Game
    Quick, Timely Reads On the Waterfront Bay Rat Road Trips: Take Me Out to the Ball Game By David Frew April 2021 Dr. David Frew, a prolific writer, author, and speaker, grew up on Erie's lower west side as a proud "Bay Rat," joining neighborhood kids playing and marauding along the west bayfront. He has written for years about his beloved Presque Isle and his adventures on the Great Lakes. In this series, the JES Scholar-in-Residence takes note of of life in and around the water. There were two kinds of kids in my neighborhood, Indians fans and Yankees fans. I’m not sure if the differences could be explained with modern DNA scoring. There were no Pittsburgh fans and I suspect that was because of the difficulty of getting there by car from Erie, Pennsylvania. Cleveland was a manageable road trip, even during those pre-Eisenhower Thruway days. But driving to Pittsburgh was way more difficult. That rationalization fails to explain Yankees fans, however, and there were lots of them. Driving to New York City? I did not know anyone who had done it when I was a kid, but lots of us had been to Cleveland Municipal Stadium. Families, including my own, made the trip from time to time, but my Yankee fan buddies had to be satisfied with seeing their team w hen they played the Indians. The 1954 Indians were awesome, and they played at the peak of my own baseball career. The summer of ’54 was the year I finally tried out for and made a Little League team.

  • Kluber Adds 18Th Win to Cy Young Resume by Jordan
    Kluber adds 18th win to Cy Young resume By Jordan Bastian / MLB.com | @MLBastian | September 24th, 2017 + 2 COMMENTS SEATTLE -- Corey Kluber cares about getting a ring, not another plaque. What the ace has been doing for the Indians this year is being driven by his desire to help the club finish what it could not a year ago. He wants to win the World Series and has been pitching like a man possessed by that mission. Kluber continued that pursuit on Sunday at Safeco Field, where he surrendered a two-run homer to Ben Gamel, but nothing else in a 4-2 victory for Cleveland. He has powered baseball's best pitching staff and set the tone for the Tribe's incredible run of 29 wins in 31 games. And, while Kluber shrugs off questions about a possible second American League Cy Young Award, his teammates will do the talking for him. "He's the Cy Young," Jason Kipnis said. "I think he's clearly the Cy Young. That doesn't take anything away from [Red Sox ace] Chris Sale. I think he's clearly the No. 2 and would be the Cy Young any other year that Corey Kluber's not pitching like this." There is still a debate to be had over whether Kluber or Sale -- Boston's overpowering left-hander -- should walk away with the season-end hardware, but the scale may have tilted in the Tribe ace's favor. Dating back to the All-Star break, the Indians have gone 51-18, clinched the AL Central and are now right behind the Dodgers for baseball's best record.

  • Implicit Religion and the Highly-Identified Sports Fan: an Ethnography of Cleveland Sports Fandom
    IMPLICIT RELIGION AND THE HIGHLY-IDENTIFIED SPORTS FAN: AN ETHNOGRAPHY OF CLEVELAND SPORTS FANDOM Edward T. Uszynski A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2013 Committee: Dr. Michael Butterworth, Advisor Dr. Kara Joyner Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Bruce Edwards Dr. Vikki Krane ii ABSTRACT Michael Butterworth, Advisor Scholarly writing on the conflation of “sport as a religion” regularly concentrates on the historical and institutional parallels with the religious dimensions of sport, focusing on ritual, community, sacred space, and other categories more traditionally associated with “religious” life. Instead, this study redirects focus toward the neo-religious nature of modern spirituality; that is, the fulfillment of Thomas Luckmann’s prediction that a significant aspect of modern spirituality would concern the need to construct a “self”the constantly shifting work of forming personal identity and enhancing self understanding. As such, internal commitments and intense devotion may perform as a de facto “invisible religion” in the lives of people. As popular culture provides useful texts toward satisfying this ongoing work, professional sports can act as a conduit of both personal and collective self understanding for “highly identified fans,” subsequently operating as an invisible religion within their lives. This study investigates the nature of fandom among a sample of Cleveland professional sports
