    Crafting Your Father's Idol

    CRAFTING ―YOUR FATHER‘S IDOL‖: THE SPORTING PRESS AND THE PROMOTION OF BASEBALL‘S STARS, 1900-1928 by LORI AMBER ROESSNER (Under the Direction of Janice Hume) ABSTRACT Heralded as America‘s national pastime, baseball was one of the country‘s preeminent cultural activities referenced in popular fiction, vaudeville shows, black-and-white films, sheet music, radio, and the press in the early twentieth century. Sports journalists touted its cast of stars on the covers of newspapers and magazines. Historians have argued that these mythmakers of the Golden Age of Sports Writing (1920-1930) manufactured mass heroes from white ball players for mainstream media; however, they have neglected to fully examine the practice of herocrafting. This dissertation seeks to further explore the production of cultural sports heroes by investigating the journalistic conventions and working associations involved in the process through a combination of textual and archival analysis. Doing so not only reveals insights into the practices of early twentieth-century sports journalists, it also provides a unique lens into the cultural implications of hero construction. It affords a prism through which to explore the interaction between sports journalism and mainstream American culture. Press and archival sources surrounding the lives of baseball icons Ty Cobb and Christy Mathewson and well-known sports journalists Grantland Rice, F.C. Lane, and John N. Wheeler were culled and analyzed. Following the cue of cultural studies theorists Raymond Williams and James Carey, this manuscript treats the study of communication as the examination of historic ritual. Overall, it involved analysis of 297 articles and columns from more than thirty general and specialty, mass- circulating newspapers and magazines and four memoirs, as well as archival documents from the University of Georgia‘s Richard B.

    Outside the Lines Vol. II, No. 3 SABR Business of Baseball Committee Newsletter Summer 1996 Copyright © 1996 Society for American Baseball Research Editor: Doug Pappas, 100 E. Hartsdale Ave., #6EE, Hartsdale, NY 10530-3244, 914-472-7954. E-mail: [email protected] or [email protected]. Annual Meeting Report The Business of Baseball Committee held its second annual meeting at SABR 26 in Kansas City. Our thoughtful hosts scheduled the meeting for 7:30 AM Friday, June 7 -- opposite the trivia preliminaries and three research presentations, and before many attendees had even registered. I know most fans wish the economic and labor issues would just go away, but this is ridiculous... Nonetheless the meeting attracted a large, enthusiastic group of SABRites, including about a dozen new Committee members. Andy McCue wanted to know if the newsletter would run more historical articles; Jerry Wachs thought the newsletter too sympathetic to the Players’ Association on labor issues. Andy should enjoy pp. 2-6, while Jerry should turn to pp. 6-7. “Give the readers what they want,” I say... Labor Peace At Last? As this issue went to press, the players and owners had agreed on virtually all details of a new labor agreement except the players’ entitlement to service credit for the period of the strike. The players received service time in past strikes, but a small group of hard-line owners, led of course by Jerry Reinsdorf, would prefer to blow apart the entire settlement rather than yield on the issue. Acting Commissioner for Life Selig is believed to have the 21 votes necessary to approve the agreement, but one should never under-estimate the owners’ capacity for self-destructive behavior.
