    owel Crosley Jr 8CR-W8GM *1886-1961* Another Buckeye – The Henry Ford of Radio! A P list of firsts too long to mention - truly a wealthy pioneer. Our subject born in Cincy to Charlotte and Powel Crosley, an attorney. Educated locally, at College Hill then to Ohio Military Institute upon graduating in 1905. Attending U of Cincinnati, being obsessed with mechanics of automobiles. The mass production of autos employed by Henry Ford caught his attention and implemented by his brother, Lewis, when the two began manufacturing quality affordable radios in 1921. Crosley an industrialist repeatedly played “Song of India” phonograph record over 8CR, his experimental 20 watt station at his College Hill home. He asked anyone who heard his broadcast to mail (QSL) a postcard and heard from people as far away as Troy, Ohio. In 1921 Local auto parts producer Powel Crosley, moves his ham radio station 8CR transmitter from his home to the factory location and has same licensed under the letters WLW. - Crosley will organize his radio Corporation in 1923 and the station becomes the Voice of the Midwest’s pork and corn belt. He was issued W8GM in 1934. Unfortunately, many people have never heard of Crosley, he developed many inventions that have changed our lives today. We haven’t mentioned the Crosley Family influence and far reaching roll they played in WW II War effort, also the Cincinnati Reds baseball team, Crosley Field and Crosley appliances and the automobile, over 30 MPG. It’s all there on Wikipedia.com give it a look. Below we post the winter home Powel built for his wife Gwendolyn in 1929 on a 63 acre Florida parcel called Seagate, a Sarasota Bay retreat.

Airy resident, James Denier, offers to sell 133 acres he owns at Compton and Pippin Roads in Groesbeck, to use as a site for a new stadium for the Reds. Eventually the Reds move from Crosley Field to Riverfront Stadium in 1970. MLB.COM Reds can't hang on to early lead, fall in extras By Mark Sheldon and Andrew Call / MLB.com | 12:04 AM ET + 82 COMMENTS CINCINNATI -- Trying to hang on to their quickly fading postseason hopes, the Cardinals needed an early comeback then some late clutch hitting. It added up to an 8-7 victory over the Reds in 10 innings on Tuesday night at Great American Ball Park. Dexter Fowler was responsible for two big St. Louis runs with a solo home run in the eighth inning and an RBI double in the 10th. Reds reliever Tim Adleman began the extra frame by hitting Kolten Wong with a pitch. Wong stole second base and scored the go- ahead run on Fowler's RBI double to right field. An RBI single by Paul DeJong provided insurance. Full Game Coverage Scooter Gennett tightened the game when he led off the bottom of the 10th with a homer to right-center field, his 26th of the season. But lefty Tyler Lyons got the last two outs for the save. Victories by the first-place Cubs and second-place Brewers meant no ground was gained in the National League Central standings. St. Louis remains in third place, six games out of first, with an elimination number of seven.

  • The Cincinnati Reds
    The Cincinnati Reds: A History, an Era of Greatness, and Recollections of a Fan Dr. Anthony o. Edmonds Advisor Dirk D. Haire LD. 499 May 4, 1990 ;,,- - ) cincinnati. To most baseball fans this city represents the beginning of spring and the start of a new season. For being the nation's first professional baseball team and a charter member of the National League, the Cincinnati Reds are given the honor of hosting the opening game of each new National League season. since the original Red Stockings took the nation by storm, winning sixty-eight games against no defeats in 1869, cincinnati's baseball fortunes have vacillated between the best of times and the worst of times. Growing up in the middle Ohio Valley region, I, like many other children of the area, became a cincinnati Reds fan. This interest, for me, has grown into a passion. Over the years I have learned many things about the Reds and their history from my parents, my grandparents, friends, books, broadcasts, and other sources. In this thesis I will construct a brief history of the Reds and their importance to the city of Cincinnati. Then I will discuss the rise of the Big Red Machine and the powerful Reds teams of the 1970's, followed by a description of the dismantling of the Machine in the 1980's. The final section of this paper will reflect my own experiences of growing up in Reds' country. The origins of the present day Reds can be traced to July 23, 1866. On this date at the law office of Tilden, Sherman, and Moulton, the Cincinnati Baseball Club was established by local attorneys Alfred T.

Trumpbour © 2001 Robert C. Trumpbour Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2001 We approve the thesis of Robert C. Trumpbour. Date of Signature _____________________________ _____________________ Richard L. Barton Professor of Communications Associate Dean of Graduate Studies and Research Thesis Adviser Chair of Committee _____________________________ ______________________ Suzanna DeBoef Associate Professor of Political Science _____________________________ ______________________ Patrick Parsons Associate Professor of Communications _____________________________ ______________________ Ronald A. Smith Professor Emeritus of Exercise and Sport Science iii Abstract Stadium construction has occurred at record-breaking level in major metropolitan areas of the United States in the last decade. This dissertation traces media coverage of stadium construction policy throughout the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first century, focusing specifically on newspaper coverage of this issue. The hypothesis that media practitioners in smaller metropolitan areas will be more likely to privilege voices supporting new stadium construction is examined. The case study method is utilized and content analysis is employed to determine media coverage trends in major American metropolitan areas. Cincinnati and Pittsburgh are examined as small market cities, while Boston and New York are explored as larger market cities. Evidence is provided that larger markets adopt a more critical position than small market cities regarding new stadium construction in newspaper opinion content. Large market publications are similar to smaller market counterparts in providing greater opportunity for expression to pro-stadium voices.

    Ball i es: THE STORY OF FORBES FIELD bv Daniel L.Bonk Pirates baseball fans, between the 1991 and 1992 seasons, were subjected to a tease. The administration of Mayor PITTSBURGHSophie Masloff proposed building a new publicly financed base- ball-only stadium to be called Roberto Clcmente Field, inhonor of the late Pirates Hall of Fame outfielder. The proposal came as a shock to media and citizenry alike and was quickly embraced, surely, by every true baseball fan who ever bought a ticket at Three Rivers Stadium farther from the field than a box seat. Due to a variety of reasons, including a lukewarm reception from the general public asked to finance it,Masloff'quietly but quickly withdrew the proposal. Nevertheless, the city, 22 years after the opening ofThree Riv- ers, effectively admitted that itinadequately serves its most rou- tine function as the baseball home of the Pirates Clemente Field would have been both a step forward and back- ward — forward because itwas conceived along lines pioneered inBuffalo in 1988 with the opening ofPilot Field, home of the Pirates's minor league franchise, and backward because such neo- classic design tries to recreate the ambiance, intimacy, and reduced scale of baseball's classic old parks in Chicago, Detroit, Boston and New York. Most ironic ofall,Clemente Field would invari- — ably have been compared to the Pirates's home for five decades Forbes Field, thought by many to have been the most classic of all. It was demolished in 1972 in the Oakland neighborhood, to bring Dan Bonk is acivilengineer at the Michael Baker Corp.

  • Brother Powel Crosley, Jr
    Brother Powel Crosley, Jr. Queen City Entrepreneur, Industrialist, and Sportsman by Dr. Ivan M. Tribe, KCT, KYCH, 330 Some people are born innovatorsalthough it may take some time for them to find their proper niche, so to speak. The subject of this sketch made his mark in life as an inventor, a businessman, a radio pioneer, and as owner of a major league baseball team, all in the city of Cincinnati, Ohio. Brother Powel Crosley wore a number of hats in his varied career, and while he had his share of disappointments, by and large he demonstrated a considerable degree of success. Today, his name is probably best remembered for the ball park that bore his name during what many consider the Golden Age of the National Game, but he was much more than that. Powel Crosley, Jr., was born in Cincinnati on September 18, 1886, the son of Charlotte Utz and Powel Crosley, Sr., an attorney who had moved his practice to the Queen City area of Cincinnati, Ohio, from Warren County. As a youth, he attended public schools in the College Hill section and then attended the Ohio Military Institute from which he was graduated in 1905. From childhood, he demonstrated a great deal of energy in gadgets and new technological developments. At the age of twelve, he built a four-wheeled wagon powered with an electric motor and sold it to his father, who had promised him he would buy it for ten dollars if it worked. To his father's surprise it did work! The proud youngster repaid his eight dollar expense, gave his investor-brother Lewis a dollar, and "gloatingly pocketed" a ten percent profit.
