La Temporada De 1915 Culminó Con Otro Enfrentamiento Boston-Philadelphia. Esta Vez Fueron Los Sorprendentes Filis Quienes Hicie 1915 La temporada de 1915 culminó con otro enfrentamiento Boston-Philadelphia. Esta vez fueron los sorprendentes Filis quienes hicieron la hazaña de brincar del sexto lugar un año antes hasta el obtener el banderín. Los poderosos Medias Rojas con su pitcheo profundo dominaron a los bateadores de Philadelphia, permitiendo sólo dos hits al estrella Gavvy Cravath dejando a los filis con un pobre 0.182 de promedio de bateo en la Serie Mundial. Harry Hooper y Duffy Lewis brillaron por Boston que ganó 4 juegos a 1. Los Filis de Philadelphia fueron líderes de bateo en la Liga Nacional gracias a Cravath y Luderus. Cravath impuso un nuevo récord al conectar 24 jonrones con 115 carreras impulsadas y 89 anotadas con 86 bases por bolas. Luderus fue segundo en la liga con 0.315. Pete Alexander’s obtuvo un récord de 31-10 en ganados y perdidos y 1.22 de PCL, el más bajo de la liga y de su carrera de 20 años en las Grandes Ligas; Erskine Mayer ganó 21 y junto a sus compañeros Al Demaree y Eppa Rixey diron al equipo un porcentaje de carreras limpias de 2.17. Los Gigantes de Nueva York quedaron en el sótano de la liga a 21 juegos del primer lugar y sólo brilló con ellos Larry Doyle, que ganó la corona de bateo con un porcentaje de 0.320 siendo líder en hits con 189 y en dobles con 40. En la liga Americana la pelea estuvo cerrada entre los brazos de los Medias Rojas y el bateo de los Tigres, quedando los primeros de líderes con 21/2 juegos de ventaja. Cinco inicialistas de los Medias Rojas tuvieron victorias de dos dígitos: los derechos Rube Foster (19-8) y Ernie Shore (19-8), y los zurdos Babe Ruth (19- 8), Dutch Leonard (15-7) y Joe Wood (15-5), quien obtuvo el liderato de carreras limpias permitidas con 1.49 aventajando al estrella Walter Johnson que ganó 27 partidos y quedó con 1.55 de CLP. Los Tigres de Detroit carecieron de un staff de pitcheo seguro, en el que destacaron únicamente Harry Coveleski (22-13,2.45 PCL) y Hooks Dauss (24- 13,2.50 PCL); los lanzadores de Detroit soportaron 788 carreras, el más alto de la liga. El bat estuvo caliente en Detroit, pues Bobby Veach y Sam Crawford empujaron 112 carreras cada uno; el primero conectó 40 dobletes mientras que el segundo fue líder con 19 triples; y por si eso fuera poco, Ty Cobb bateó para 0.369 obteniendo el título con 208 hits, 118 bases por bolas y 96 bases robadas, un récord de liga que se mantuvo hasta 1962 cuando Maury Wills se estafó 104. 1 En su primera temporada completa para los Medias Rojas de Boston, Baby Ruth bateó para 0.315 con 4 cuadrangulares en 92 turnos al bat. De pitcher inició 28 juegos y terminó 16 con un porcentaje de carreras limpias de 2.44. Conectó su primer jonrón en Grandes Ligas el 5 de mayo sobre los lanzamientos del pitcher Jack Warhop..¡de los Yankees!. La última vez que alguien bateó por Ruth de emergente sucedió el 24 de abril cuando Hack Cady le quitó el bat de las manos. NOTAS CORTAS: Cleveland cambia a Joe Jackson a Chicago por Braggo Roth y cierta cantidad de dinero. Rube Marquard lanza un sin hit contra los Dodgers el 31 de Agosto. Jimmy Lavender de Chicago lanza un sin hit contra Gigantes el 15 de abril. Los Atléticos caen al sótano con un récord de 43-109 después de acumular 99-53 un año antes. Antes de iniciar la temporada de 1915, los Medias Blancas adquieren a Eddie Collins de los Atléticos por $50,000 dólares. George Sisler debuta para los Cafés de San Luis como un pitcher y vence a Johnson 2-1. La “Liga Federal”, inaugurada un año antes como competencia de la Americana y de la Nacional se suspende el 22 de diciembre de 1915. En su debut en Grandes Ligas, Bruno Haas de los Atléticos otorga 16 bases por bolas y pierde 15-7. Solo participó en 6 partidos y jamás regresó a Grandes Ligas.

  • 1St Connection Between Baseball and Opera
    Baseball & Opera (compiled by Mark Schubin, this version posted 2014 April 14) 1849 : 1 st connection between baseball and opera: Fans of American actor Edwin Forrest, who is playing Macbeth in New York, hire thugs from among ballplayers at Elysian Fields in Hoboken, New Jersey (1 st famous ball field) to disrupt performances of British actor William Macready, also playing Macbeth in New York at what had been Astor Opera House. Deadly riot ensues; Macready is rescued by ex-Astor Opera House impresario Edward Fry, who later (1880) invents electronic home entertainment (and probably headphones) by listening to live opera by phone. 1852: Opera-house exclusivity dispute with composer’s niece Johanna Wagner forms legal basis of baseball’s reserve clause. 1870 : Tony Pastor’s Opera House baseball team is covered by The New York Times (they won). 1875 : San Francisco Chronicle reports on that city’s opera-house baseball team. 1879 : Pirate King role created for Signor Brocolini, who, as John Clark, played first base for the Detroit Base Ball Club. 1881 : Dartmouth College opera group performs to raise money for college’s baseball team. 1884 : Three telegraph operators, James U. Rust, E. W. Morgan, and A. H. Stewart, present live games remotely. One sends plays from ballpark, second receives and announces, third moves cards with players’ names around backdrop. Starting in Nashville’s 900-seat Masonic Theater, they soon move to 2,500-seat Grand Opera House, beginning half-century of remote baseball game viewing at opera houses (also Augusta, GA Grand Opera House starting 1885). 1885 : The Black Hussar is probably 1 st opera with baseball mentioned in its libretto (in “Read the answer in the stars”).

From 1920 into the 1950s, summer Sundays in parts of Kansas City revolved around Black baseball games. Families dressed in their best. Crowds by the thousands gravitated to the stadium. Fans watched their Kansas City Monarchs play the Chicago American Giants, the Homestead Grays, or the Newark Eagles. It was more than a joyful day out at the ballgame. It was a celebration. That scene captures the excitement of the "Negro Leagues," as they were known at the time. In that era, segregation policies blocked Black citizens from enjoying many aspects of American life. This included Major League Photo Credit: AP Photo/Matty Baseball. Black baseball teams were a source of fun and community pride. Zimmerman, File In this photo from 1942, Kansas City Chicago-based Andrew "Rube" Foster had the grand vision to launch the Monarchs pitcher Leroy Satchel Negro National League. It started in 1920 with eight teams. In 1933, the Paige warms up before a Negro League game. New Negro National League was founded, followed by the Negro American League. The financial fortunes of the Negro Leagues would ebb and flow over the next three decades. But their popularity and high-level of play stayed strong. Between World War I (1914–1918) and World War II (1939–1945), baseball's place as America's national pastime was indisputable. The segregated Major Leagues fielded Hall of Fame legends like Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and Dazzy Vance.

I got SOM’s baseball game a year later and I was hooked. I would get the new card set each year and attempt to play the in-progress season by moving the traded players around and turning ‘nameless player cards” into that year’s key rookies. I switched to APBA in the late ‘70’s because they started releasing some complete old season sets and the idea of playing with those really caught my fancy. Between then and the mid-nineties, I collected a lot of card sets.

    The First Boys of Spring A film by Larry Foley DVDs: uapress.com Contact: [email protected] 479-841-0662 Website: thefirstboysofspring.weebly.com Beginning in 1886, baseball spring training was held for the first time in a southern city, not in Florida or Arizona, but in the Arkansas resort town of Hot Springs, and that’s where the annual rite caught on. For parts of eight decades, many of the best who ever played the game, came to Hot Springs to shake off the rust from winters of sedentary indulgence to prepare for long seasons ahead, with such teams as the Red Sox, Dodgers, and Pirates—and the Negro League’s Monarchs, Crawfords and Grays. Winner of Mid-America Emmy Awards for Writing and Cultural Documentary, The First Boys of Spring is a one-hour documentary by filmmaker Larry Foley, Professor and Chair of Lemke Journalism Department at the University of Arkansas. Narrated by Academy Award winning actor Billy Bob Thornton, the film tells stories of baseball Hall of Famers who worked out, gambled and partied in Hot Springs, including Rube Foster, Cy Young, Satchel Paige, Honus Wagner and baseball’s first superstar, Mike “King” Kelly. The film aired twice in February 2016 on MLB Network, with multiple broadcasts on Fox sports networks in summer 2016. It was screened at two separate venues at National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY--11th Baseball Film Festival and 28th Cooperstown Symposium on Baseball and American Culture. It was presented at 21st Baseball in Culture and Literature Conference, Ottawa (Kansas) University and at the Black Archives of Mid America in Kansas City.
