Podemski, Ph.D., Dean, Graduate School Date ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank the members of my committee, Dr. John Worth, Dr. Amy Mitchell-Cook, and Ms. Margo Stringfield. This project would not have been possible without their guidance and assistance. Their tolerance of and cooperation with my extremely long commute and frequent e-mails were a vital part of my actually finishing this thesis. Dr. Worth was immeasurably helpful with puzzling through all of my numbers, Dr. Mitchell-Cook helped me tie everything together and kicked my grammar into much better shape, and Ms. Stringfield assisted my efforts in figuring out how to use the St. Michael’s Cemetery database to learn about immigration and migration. I would not have been able to finish this project without them. Of course, thank you to the University of West Florida Anthropology Department, the Archaeology Institute, and the St. Michael’s Cemetery Foundation. These organizations made my education as well as my research possible. I would also like to thank my mother for accompanying me on many long drives from my home in Knoxville, Tennessee to Pensacola for research and meetings. Her assistance and support helped keep me going during the lengthy process. My little brother was also very helpful during this process. He double-checked my data and read through my thesis after I had worked on it so long that I could no longer tell where the problems were. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ............................................................................................................. iv LIST OF TABLES......................................................................................................................... vi LIST OF FIGURES ....................................................................................................................... ix LIST OF PHOTOGRAPHS......................................................................................................... xiii ABSTRACT................................................................................................................................. xiv INTRODUCTION ...........................................................................................................................1 CHAPTER I.

  • War Me Baseball in Hawaii
    Wounded in Combat in Hawaii in Warme Baseball Warme 1941: Calm Before the Storm the Calm Before 1941: Baseball in Wartime Newsletter Vol. 12 No. 50 June 2020 Wartime Baseball in Hawaii For more than a quarter of a century I’ve been researching and writing about wartime baseball. It’s a subject that continues to fascinate me and one that unlocks new discoveries on an almost daily basis. Recently, I’ve turned my attention to baseball in Hawaii during World War II. I’ve always been aware that many big league players were stationed in Hawaii but what about the structure of military baseball? The teams? The leagues? I decided it was time to put the pieces together, especially because I could find no definitive source that had actually done so. So, here it is, the first of five newsletters covering the war years in Hawaii, 1941 to 1945. This issue – 1941: Calm Before the Storm – deals with the year of the infamous Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor that thrust the United States into war. As you will see, there was plenty of baseball in Hawaii in 1941 – a lack of major league names, obviously – Jim Helton (19th Inf. Regt) threw a no-hitter th but still an interesting introduction to against the 8 Field Artillery July 23, 1941 what was to come. I hope you enjoy this first issue. The others will follow in the coming Gary Bedingfield weeks and months, and if you have Don’t forget to visit my websites! anything you’d care to add for the www.baseballinwartime.com years 1942 to 1945, then you know www.baseballsgreatestsacrifice.com where to find me.
