    Win, Lose, or Draw Tribe By FRANCIS E. STANN latsWip KncfgMg Oooooh-Day for the Autograph Hounds Probably the first toumairient at which the genuine, bug-bitten golf fan* were outnumbered turned out to be one of the bigger and more democratic social events of the season. Mingling with Secre- tary of the Navy Porrestal, Gens. Eisenhower, Grove and Bradley, Admiral Nlmitz, Senator Taft and Attorney Gen- eral Clark, among others, were upward of 7,000 other guests of the Columbia Country Club, com- posed chiefly of autograph hounds and camera fiends. And who do you suppose most of the guests came to see? Der Bingle. Harry Lillis Crosby. As far as the people were concerned Bing was the biggest celebrity in the Celebrities Tournament. Bing Crosby is owner of a major league baseball team and there were two other baseball owners on hand, Clark Griffith and Del Webb. But neither owns a set of pipes like Crosby. That was the difference. That was the difference between Bing and Jack Dempsey, Gene Tunney, Bobby PMaeb BUnn Jones, Gene Sarazen, Babe Didrikson and even Baseball Commissioner Happy Chandler, a well-known tenor. It was the star-gazer’s dream come true. It was manna from Heaven for the camera shop*, whose cupboards must be empty of film. It was Oooooh-Day for the bobby soxers and autograph hounds. And for the comparatively small number of old-time golf fans the glorious pages of time were turned back when Jones, Sarazen, Bobby Cruick- shank and Walter Hagen played in the same foursome.

  • Minor League Presidents
    MINOR LEAGUE PRESIDENTS compiled by Tony Baseballs www.minorleaguebaseballs.com This document deals only with professional minor leagues (both independent and those affiliated with Major League Baseball) since the foundation of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues (popularly known as Minor League Baseball, or MiLB) in 1902. Collegiate Summer leagues, semi-pro leagues, and all other non-professional leagues are excluded, but encouraged! The information herein was compiled from several sources including the Encyclopedia of Minor League Baseball (2nd Ed.), Baseball Reference.com, Wikipedia, official league websites (most of which can be found under the umbrella of milb.com), and a great source for defunct leagues, Indy League Graveyard. I have no copyright on anything here, it's all public information, but it's never all been in one place before, in this layout. Copyrights belong to their respective owners, including but not limited to MLB, MiLB, and the independent leagues. The first section will list active leagues. Some have historical predecessors that will be found in the next section. LEAGUE ASSOCIATIONS The modern minor league system traces its roots to the formation of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues (NAPBL) in 1902, an umbrella organization that established league classifications and a salary structure in an agreement with Major League Baseball. The group simplified the name to “Minor League Baseball” in 1999. MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL Patrick Powers, 1901 – 1909 Michael Sexton, 1910 – 1932

  • 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.
