(USA). The exhibition was so successful that baseball, as an exhibition event, was repeated at the 1912 Olympic Games in Stockholm, Sweden. These two events laid the groundwork for the rise in popularity that the game saw internationally in the 1930s. In 1936, a baseball exhibition was held at the Olympic Games in Berlin. This exhibition was an enormous success as 92,565 spectators fi lled the Olympic Stadium to watch a game between two American teams. Following the success of Berlin, in August 1938, the fi rst Baseball World Cup was held in London. With the participation of just two teams, the United States and Great Britain, a series of fi ve games was played. The British team won four of the fi ve games. This was followed by the formation of the International Baseball Federation (IBF). For many years following, the Baseball World Cup hosted only two to four countries at a time, but in 1950, international baseball had a breakthrough – the 11th Annual Baseball World Cup took place in Managua, Nicaragua, with a record participation of 12 countries. In what was the largest Baseball World Cup to date, Cuba was proclaimed champions. Over the next 30 years, international baseball prospered throughout the world (highlighted by over 100,000 spectators taking in another baseball demonstration game at the 1956 Olympic Games in Melbourne). As time went on, continents formed their own baseball federations and countries began creating and hosting their very own global tournaments, such as the Pan American Games and the Asian Championships. The game of baseball was growing at a rapid rate. It was during this period of time that Cuba entrenched itself as an international baseball power. With countries all over the world striving to match their talent 6 YEARBOOK2011 level, baseball was being pushed further into the forefront of the worldwide sports scene and, by extension, into the minds of the International Olympic Committee. When it was announced in early 1978 that the 1984 Olympic Games were to take place in Los Angeles, LA. (USA), Peter O’Malley, President and Owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers, organized a meeting that was attended by virtually every IBAF HISTORY delegate from the 37 countries affi liated with the IBAF. The idea of baseball as a true fi xture in the Olympic Games was becoming a reality. Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles was the venue for the 1984 Olympic Baseball demonstration tournament, which was organized with the help of the big league club. The tournament, won by Japan, was watched by an average stadium crowd of 48,000, making baseball the third-most popular sport at the Olympic Games in terms of attendance. On October 13, 1986, the efforts put forth in Los Angeles came to fruition when, at the International Olympic Committee Session in Lausanne, Switzerland, baseball was included in the offi cial programme of the 1992 Olympic Games to be hosted by Barcelona, Spain. In 1988, the USA won the last Olympic demonstration tournament at the Olympic Games in Seoul, and Cuba won the fi rst-ever Olympic gold medal for baseball at the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona.The silvers went to Japan and Chinese Taipei and the bronze went to Puerto Rico respectively. In June 1993, at a Congress in Rome, Aldo Notari of Italy was unanimously elected as President of the international baseball organization. He immediately took steps towards making a crucial change: transferring the corporate headquarters to the Olympic capital in Lausanne, Switzerland. This was a key move, clearly integrating baseball into the Olympic Movement. Three years later, in 1996, the baseball tournament in the Atlanta Olympic Games topped its own record with 1,134,203 tickets sold. Cuba took home its second straight Olympic gold at the event, with Japan fi nishing with the silver and the USA with the bronze. 7 INTERNATIONAL BASEBALL FEDERATION FEDERACIÓN INTERNACIONAL DE BÉISBOL In 1999, following an agreement between Major League Baseball (MLB), the MLB Players Association (MLBPA) and the international federation to allow the participation of non-25-man roster professional players in the Sydney Games, the federation decided to return to its roots and changed its name to the International Baseball Federation (IBAF). IBAF HISTORY With the inclusion of professional players, the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games baseball tournament was a tremendous success as 97.44 percent of capacity was averaged over the event’s 32 games. There were two fi rsts in this Games – one, the Olympic gold medal went to the United States (Cuba garnered the silver and South Korea, the bronze) and two, the tournament featured teams from fi ve continents, illustrating the growth of baseball internationally. In the eight years since Sydney, baseball has seen many more positive changes. In 2002, the fi rst ever FISU World University Baseball Championships were played, and the IBAF approved the inception of the Women’s Baseball World Cup. Both events have gone on to see much success, and both were be played in 2008 in the Czech Republic and Japan, respectively. 2004 was a year of ups and downs for the sport. The year was highlighted by Cuba’s gold medal in the Olympic Games in Athens, Greece. Australia took home the silver for its fi rst Olympic baseball medal and Japan earned the bronze. Prior to the Olympic Games, however, baseball had learned that by the narrowest of margins, it had been voted off the Olympic Programme for the London Games of 2012 and 2016 games. Since then, as part of a global effort to return baseball to the program, Major League Baseball has created a new event, the World Baseball Classic (sanctioned by the IBAF), that features professional players from all over the world in a truly international event held prior to the start of the regular season. In 2006 the fi rst World Baseball Classic was held in the United States, with Japan winning the gold medal. 8 YEARBOOK2011 The Second edition of the World Baseball Classic was held in 2009. The tournament grew in size in both commercially and in terms of its global fan base and featured a multi country, multi city tournament setup, with the fi rst round of the classic being entirely held outside the United States. Japan emerged the winner over South Korea, with the United States and Venezuela the other semi fi nalists. IBAF HISTORY 2009 also featured the IBAF 2009 Baseball World Cup. The event being played across seven European countries, rather than in Cuba where it was originally scheduled to be played. The tournament saw the United States emerge victorious over Cuba, however equally as important demonstrated the fan-base for the game in Europe. The conclusion of the 2009 tournament schedule also heralded a new era for the International Baseball Federation with the election of Riccardo Fraccari as President. Fraccari and his executive through new initiatives, including outreach, multimedia efforts and a new Web site (IBAF.org), look to greatly increase the relevance of the organisation to the global sports community and the global baseball community.

  • Pioneering E-Sport: the Experience Economy and the Marketing of Early 1980S Arcade Gaming Contests
    International Journal of Communication 7 (2013), 2254-2274 1932–8036/20130005 Pioneering E-Sport: The Experience Economy and the Marketing of Early 1980s Arcade Gaming Contests MICHAEL BOROWY DAL YONG JIN Simon Fraser University This article sets out to historicize the development of e-sport (organized competitive digital gaming) in the early 1980s using three new conceptual frameworks. We identify e-sport as an accompaniment of the broader embryonic gamer culture, a hallmark of the “experience economy” concept, and as a succession of consumer practices whose development was coterminous with the rise of event marketing as a leading promotional business strategy. By examining the origins of e-sport as both a marketized event and experiential commodity, we see this period as a transitory era bridging different phases in the areas of sports, marketing, and technology, resulting in the expansion of competitive cyberathleticism. Keywords: e-sport, professional gamer, arcade, experience economy, event marketing, video games, public events Introduction In the early 2000s, competitive player-versus-player digital game play (henceforth e-sports) has been a heavily promoted feature of overall gamer culture. Although e-sport—known as an electronic sport and the leagues in which players compete through networked games and related activities (Jin, 2010)— has existed since the early 1980s, the increased attention toward the activity in the 21st century has signaled that the gaming industry is adopting more flexible avenues of public event consumption with the goal of generating higher profit margins. While stand-alone e-sports events are common, their use as adjuncts of other industry events, including major trade shows, press conferences, and even traveling orchestras, demonstrates that competitive gaming continues to play a major role in the machinery of game industry event marketing.

White, Interim Dean of The Graduate School. ABSTRACT In 1908, a Special Base Ball Commission determined that baseball was invented by Abner Doubleday in 1839. The Commission, established to resolve a long-standing debate regarding the origins of baseball, relied on evidence provided by James Sullivan, a secretary working at Spalding Sporting Goods, owned by former player Albert Spalding. Sullivan solicited information from former players and fans, edited the information, and presented it to the Commission. One person’s allegation stood out above the rest; Abner Graves claimed that Abner Doubleday “invented” baseball sometime around 1839 in Cooperstown, New York. It was not true; baseball did not have an “inventor” and if it did, it was not Doubleday, who was at West Point during the time in question.
