Emrick A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY June 1976 Approved by Doctoral Committee DUm,s¡ir<y »»itti». UNIVERSITY LIBRARY 11 ABSTRACT From the very early days of radio broadcasting, the descriptions of major league baseball games have been among the more popular types of programs. The relationship between the ball clubs and broadcast stations has developed through experimentation, skepticism, and eventual acceptance. The broadcasts have become financially important to the teams as well as the advertisers and stations. The central person responsible for pleasing the fans as well as satisfying the economic goals of the stations, advertisers, and teams—the principal play- by-play announcer—had not been the subject of intensive study. Contentions were made in the available literature about his objectivity, partiality, and the influence exerted on his description of the games by outside parties. To test these contentions, and to learn more about the overall atmosphere in which this focal person worked, a study was conducted of principal play-by-play announcers who broadcasted games on a day-to-day basis, covering one team for a local audience. With the assistance of some of the announcers, a survey was prepared and distributed to both announcers who were employed in the play-by-play capacity during the 1975 season and those who had been involved in the occupation in past seasons.

More information of knowledge, faster speed, more technology across the board Jack Welch, former General Electric CEO Most of the attention and adulation regarding sports flows toward the most visible participants – players and coaches. Few “executives” have extensive histories written about their exploits or philosophies. An exception to this rule is Branch Rickey, who helped to build the St. Louis Cardinals during the 1920s and 1930s and later the Brooklyn Dodgers during the 1940s into consistent winners as their general manager. Rickey has been called part entrepreneur, part scout, part philosopher, part preacher, and part snake-oil salesman for his wide-ranging activities and thoughts regarding baseball and business. These have been well-documented in anecdotes, biographies, and personal notes. In both his basic outlook on players as well as within the organizational frameworks that 30 30 he established for the Cardinals and Dodgers, Rickey stressed the importance of fundamentals. By fundamentals or synonymous terms, he was talking about the skills or characteristics from which the basic elements of performance could be built. Rather than just looking at a young player‟s hitting statistics, Rickey looked at the components of the young players swing to see if he thought the mechanics present would lead to future success with development or whether the player, even with impressive statistics might use unsound elements in their swing.

Abstract The First Fifty Years of Professional Baseball in Richmond, Virginia: 1883-1932 Scott Patrick Mayer Master of Arts in History ,University ofRichmond, May 2001 Advisor: Dr. W. Harrison Daniel A detailed history of Richmond, Virginia's relationship with professional baseball has never been chronicled, especially the turbulent, early years of its development. This study explores Richmond's relationship with baseball from 1883-1932. It includes information about the men who played on the field, the team owners, and also comments on the relationship shared by the team and the city. The most reliable source of information regarding early baseball is the local newspaper. A detailed reading of the Richmond Daily Dispatch, and the successive Richmond Dispatch and Richmond Times-Dispatch, was undertaken for this project. While several newspapers have existed in Richmond's history, often competing for readership during the same period, the Dispatch was selected for its continuity in publication and for its support and consistent reporting ofbaseball.

  • Bill Werber and the First Televised Game
    Bill Werber and the first televised game ©DiamondsintheDusk.com By AL FEATHERSTON Bill Werber is a pretty obscure guy for a player Ed Barrow once called “the best player in the American League.” He was also the first basketball All-American at Duke University and became the last living teammate of Babe Ruth before his death at the age of 100 in 2009. But Werber should be recognized for another piece of history – he is the first player in Major League history to come to the plate in a televised game. “It was August 26, 1939 — I was lead- ing off for Cincinnati against the Dodg- ers,” he said in a 2008 interview. The game was tele- vised from Ebbets Field on station W2XBS (later to become WNBC-TV) as an experiment at the New York World’s Fair. Cincinnati Reds at Brooklyn Dodgers There were just 400 TV August 26, 1939 sets in the New York area at the time, but the television display at the Fair drew a large crowd. The inaugural telecast featured two cameras – one high above home plate and the other along the third base line. Dodger radio broadcaster Red Barber did the commentary. Werber led off against Brooklyn’s Luke Hamlin to become the first televised batter in baseball history. Werber didn’t recall the outcome of that first plate appearance, but he contributed a single and an RBI to the Reds’ 5-2 victory in that historic game. That was the first game of a doubleheader. The second game was also televised and Werber again led off for the Reds.
