I hit big or I miss big. I like to live as big as I can” -Babe Ruth 4 Abstract Like no other athlete before or since, Babe Ruth’s popularity has endured long after his playing days ended. His name has entered the popular lexicon, where “Ruthian” is a synonym for a superhuman feat, and other greats are referred to as the “Babe Ruth” of their field. Ruth’s name has even been attached to modern players, such as Shohei Ohtani, the Angels rookie known as the “Japanese Babe Ruth”. Ruth’s on field records and off-field antics have entered the realm of legend, and as a result, Ruth is often looked at as a sort of folk-hero. This thesis explains why Ruth is seen this way, and what forces led to the creation of the mythic figure surrounding the man.

  • Babe Ruth: Religious Icon
    religions Article Babe Ruth: Religious Icon Rebecca Alpert Department of Religion, Temple University, Philadelphia, PA 19122, USA; [email protected] Received: 24 April 2019; Accepted: 17 May 2019; Published: 23 May 2019 Abstract: Babe Ruth is a mythic figure in American baseball history. His extraordinary skills and legendary exploits are central to the idea of baseball as America’s national pastime and are woven into the fabric of American history and iconography. Much has been written about Ruth’s life, his extraordinary physical powers, and the legends that grew up around him that made him a mythic figure. The story of Babe Ruth as it has been told, however, has not included its meaning from the perspective of the study of religion and sport. This paper explores the life and legends of Babe Ruth to illustrate the significance of Ruth’s identity as a Catholic in early twentieth-century America and the fundamental connections between Ruth’s story and the Christian myth and ritual that is foundational to American civil religion. Keywords: Baseball; Babe Ruth; American Catholicism 1. Introduction Baseball, America’s “national pastime,” was central to early twentieth-century American mythology. Even if it has been surpassed by football and basketball in the American consciousness and imagination in the contemporary era, baseball serves as a reminder of the virtues and values of the American past. Babe Ruth (1895–1948) was the dominant figure in that narrative. His unparalleled ability to hit home runs farther and with more frequency than anyone before him transformed the game from an institution marred by accusations of gambling and characterized by tough, aggressive play into a demonstration of awe-inspiring power and beauty.

  • Wedge 2019 Pinstripenation.Pdf (136.3Kb)
    pinstripe nation Reviewed by Philip Wedge, University of Kansas 26 march 2019 archive Since both my boys are left-handed, by the age of six or seven, they each knew by heart the plot of the movie The Pride of the Yankees (1942), since I wanted them to see what a lefty slugger could do to a baseball (even if Lou Gehrig was portrayed by right-handed Gary Cooper). What I didn't bargain for was that my youngest would become a Yankee fan to this day, rooting against his dad's Twins every time they played. Will Bishop's Pinstripe Nation shows how inevitable such fan allegiance is when it comes to the most iconic baseball team in popular culture. Beginning with Babe Ruth and the rise of the Yankee franchise in the 20s and tracing through the various iconic players to follow (Gehrig, DiMaggio, Mantle, Jackson, Jeter), Bishop's carefully researched tome explores particularly well how literary texts, auto-biographies, television, and film shaped the culture's sense of what it meant to be a Yankee. Significant space is given to how the portrayal of Gehrig in Pride of the Yankees represents a reshaping of the heroic model from the "legendary, semi-mythical" Ruth (34) to the "morally superior" Gehrig who was "more representative of 'American' values" (45). Bishop also suggests the participation of the Yankee franchise in the making of the Gehrig movie helped shape the franchise as an icon as well, conveying "an image of an elite organization giving special honor to one from among its storied ranks," as suggested as well by "[the Yankee franchise's] special 'days' given to the legends who would follow, notably Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle" (43).

On July 4, 1939, he stood before 60,000 fans at Yankee Stadium and confirmed what everyone seemed to know, that the “Pride of the Yankees” had been diagnosed with a deadly disease. Less than two years later, on June 2, 1941, he died in Riverdale, New York. Here is his famous farewell speech. Fans, for the past two weeks you have been reading about a bad break I got. Yet today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth. I have been in ballparks for seventeen years and have never received anything but kindness and encouragement from you fans.

  • The New York Yankees As an American Cultural Icon, 1940-1970
    The New York Yankees as an American Cultural Icon, 1940-1970 By William C. Bishop Submitted to the graduate degree program in American Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. __________________________________ Chairperson James Carothers __________________________________ Co-Chairperson Jonathan Earle __________________________________ Ben Chappell __________________________________ Henry Bial __________________________________ Charles Marsh Date defended: April 18, 2014 ii The Dissertation Committee for William C. Bishop certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: The New York Yankees as an American Cultural Icon, 1940-1970 ____________________________ Chairperson James Carothers ____________________________ Co-Chairperson Jonathan Earle Date approved: April 18, 2014 iii Abstract The New York Yankees as an American Cultural Icon, 1940-1970 The New York Yankees baseball club, arguably the United States’ most successful and well-known sports franchise, have acquired many cultural connotations over the years, meanings transcending the immediate world of on-field sporting contest. This study argues that by the 1940s, the Yankee’s success in the previous decades and their representation in popular culture caused a coherent set of cultural meanings to crystallize around the club to create an American icon. This icon served as an emblem for a set of interrelated mid-century mainstream American values, namely the American dream of upward mobility, heroic masculinity, and a narrative of national success. The meanings, perspectives on, and uses of this mid-century Yankees cultural icon have not been homogeneous, but have shifted generally with the team’s on-field performance and broader historic changes, as well as with the perspectives of individual cultural producers and audiences.
