  • After One of the Worst Starts Ever to a Baseball Career, John J. Mcgraw Became a Sports Legend As a Champion Player and Manager in the Early 20Th Century
    After one of the worst starts ever to a baseball career, John J. McGraw became a sports legend as a champion player and manager in the early 20th century. John Joseph McGraw was born in Truxton, Cortland County, on April 7, 1873. His relationship with his father grew strained after John’s mother and four siblings died during an epidemic in the winter of 1884-5. John left home while still in school, where he starred on the baseball team. Obsessed with the game, he spent the money he earned from odd jobs on baseball equipment and rulebooks. In 1890, John decided to make a career of baseball. He started out earning $5 a game for the Truxton Grays. When the Grays’ manager took over the Olean franchise of the New York-Penn League, John became his third baseman. He committed eight Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division [reproduction errors in his rst game with Olean. After six games, he number LC-DIG-ggbain-34093] was cut from the team. McGraw kept trying. He played shortstop for Wellsville in the Western New York League and showed skill as a hitter and baserunner. After the 1890 season, McGraw joined the American All-Stars, a team that toured the southern states and Cuba during the winter. In 1891, a team of All-Stars and Florida players challenged the Cleveland Spiders of the American Association, one of the era’s two major leagues, to a spring-training exhibition game. Cleveland won, but McGraw got three hits in ve at-bats. Coverage of the game in The Sporting News inspired several teams to offer McGraw contracts.

Although the concept of an All-Star game dates back to 1858 and a game between all- star teams from Brooklyn and New York, it was sixty-two years ago that the first modern all-star game was held, July 6, 1933. In six decades this game has become a marvelous showcase for the best baseball talent, the marking point for mid-season, and a great promotional event for baseball. The game itself was the creation of Arch Ward sports editor of the Chicago Tribune who was able to persuade the owners to hold a game between the American and National League All-Stars in Chicago in conjunction with the Century of Progress Exhibition of 1933.

  • A Remembrance of John Tortes Meyers (1880-1971) HENRY G
    Journal of California and Great Basin Anthropology Vol. 24, No. 1, pp. 21-40 (2004) 21 The Catcher Was a Gahuilla: A Remembrance of John Tortes Meyers (1880-1971) HENRY G. KOERPER Dept. of Anthropology, Cypress College, Cypress, CA 90630 NATIVE American athletes achieved their greatest recognition in modern sports during the period from the turn of the century through the 1920s (Oxendine 1988). Among the notables were several Californians. For instance, Antonio Lubo, Elmer Busch, and Peter Calac all served as gridiron captains under Coach "Pop" Warner at Carlisle Indian Industrial School (Koerper 2000), where at various times they were teammates of the legendary Jim Thorpe (Peterson n.d.; Steckbeck 1951). Calac was Luiseno, Busch was Pomo, and Lubo was a Santa Rosa Mountain Cahuilla. Another athlete with ties to the Santa Rosa reservation, John Tortes Meyers (Fig. 1), developed into one of the best baseball catchers of his era. A roommate of Thorpe when the two played for the New York Nationals (Giants) (Fig. 2), then managed by John McGraw, "Chief" Meyers counted as battery mates at New York and elsewhere. Baseball Hall of Fame pitchers Christy Mathewson (see Robinson 1993), Rube Marquard (see Hynd 1996), and Walter "Big Train" Johnson (see Kavanagh 1995). For his many accomplishments, Meyers became the first Californian inducted into the American Indian Sports Hall of Fame, presently housed at Haskell Indian Nations University in Kansas. This biographical overview chronicles the life of this gifted and courageous athlete who tenaciously embraced his Indian identity while operating mostly in a white world.' autionary notes attend the childhood biography of John Tortes Meyers.

  • The Dream Deferred, but Not Denied: the Josh
    The Dream Deferred, but Not Denied: The Josh Hamilton Send off of The House that Ruth Built Appropriately enough, Josh Hamilton set a new home run derby record (28 in round 1) in The House known for glorious home runs from the immortals of the big fly. His is a story of triumph over tragedy, a dream finally realized, and making a mark on the biggest stage in the last throes of the dynastic setting of The Bronx Zoo . Are you Josh-ing? Hamilton was a #1 overall pick with the Tampa Devil Rays back in the last millennium. He spent several seasons as an immature young man with a huge signing bonus, but lost as actual baseball player. He struggled with a heroin addiction; he sat out of baseball for 3 seasons (2003-2005), taking batting practice sometimes at the local coin-op cage. He was pulled out of the ball hopper of baseball talent – a rule 5 draft pick – eventually signed by the Reds big league club, traded for pitcher Edinson Volquez (an all-star himself), and finally, touched down in Texas in 2008. All he’s done since is hit. He had a dream of hitting home runs in Yankee Stadium, long ago, before he could imagine being clean and sober. He brought along Clayvon Counsil, a 71- year old North Carolinian, his American Legion batting practice pitcher, to throw BP to this born-from-the-ashes baseball player. Counsil saw a perfect game in his only other Yankee Stadium visit – Don Larsen’s – and now, he makes history with Hamilton.

  • The Sad Story of Shufflin' Phil Douglas
    The Sad Story of Shufflin’ Phil Douglas By Edwin Burnett Author’s note: A special recognition goes out to Mike Lynch, whose article on the website http://sabr.org/bioproj/person/3db5329e was a major source for this article. A special thanks goes to James “Jimmy” Bell, a 1961 graduate of Grundy County High School, for also doing research on Phil Douglas. The story of Phil Douglas, who grew up in Cowan, Tennessee, is a source of both pride and sadness. Phil was born in 1890 in Cedartown, Georgia. He was the son of John and Lucy Hawkins Douglas. John and Lucy were married in Cowan, TN but moved briefly to Cedartown. Phil was a long, lanky hard throwing kid growing up in the first half of the 20th century. For the first 50 years of the 20th century, baseball was truly America’s pastime. Towns in the south and mid-west with as few as 100 people would field baseball teams to compete against neighboring towns. In larger towns, companies would hire talented baseball players who would “work” at some make work job during the week and play baseball on Sunday. The author can remember as many as 1,000 spectators showing up for a game in 1950 in Pelham, TN, whose population was less than 200. The coming of television in the mid 1950s offered a wide variety of entertainment and the era of small town baseball teams began a 10 year decline. Shufflin’ Phil Douglas, who was given the nickname by an early team manager, most certainly played for a home town team while he was a teenager.

  • Ejection Patterns
    Ejections Through the Years and the Impact of Expanded Replay Ejections are a fascinating part of baseball and some have led to memorable confrontations, several of which are readily accessible in various electronic archives. Perhaps surprisingly, reliable information on ejections has been available only sporadically and there are many conflicting numbers in both print and on-line for even the most basic data such as the number of times a given player, manager or umpire was involved. The first comprehensive compilation of ejection data was carried out over many years by the late Doug Pappas, a tireless researcher in many areas of baseball, including economic analyses of the game. He not only amassed the details of over 11,000 ejections, he also lobbied intensely to have ejection information become a standard part of the daily box scores. He was successful in that effort and we have him to thank for something we now take for granted. After Doug’s passing, his ejection files made their way to Retrosheet where they were maintained and updated by the late David Vincent who expanded the database to over 15,000 events. In 2015, David used the expanded data in the Retrosheet files as the basis for an article which provided some fine background on the history of ejections along with many interesting anecdotes about especially unusual occurrences ((https://www.retrosheet.org/Research/VincentD/EjectionsHistory.pdf). Among other things, David noted that ejections only began in 1889 after a rule change giving umpires the authority to remove players, managers, and coaches as necessary. Prior to that time, offensive actions could only be punished by monetary fines.

  • John Joseph Mcgraw (1873-1934) John Mcgraw Was Born in Truxton to Irish Immigrant Parents
    John Joseph McGraw (1873-1934) John McGraw was born in Truxton to Irish immigrant parents. He was the second oldest of nine children and his childhood became very difficult after the death of his mother, older half-sister and three younger siblings in 1883 of a contagious fever. He ran away from his abusive father in 1885 and was raised by a neighbor, Mary Goddard. He developed his passion for baseball young, playing on his school team and then joining the “Truxton Grays” when he was 16. McGraw played on teams in Olean and Wellsville, New York; Gainesville, Florida and Cedar Rapids, Iowa in rapid succession in 1890-1891, greatly improving his fielding skills along the way. McGraw received his call to join the Baltimore Orioles in 1891, while he was still 18. He played baseball for the Baltimore Orioles through 1899, while also becoming the manager in 1899. He continued playing for several more years, moving to the St. Louis Cardinals (1900), back to the Orioles (1901-1902), then to the New York Giants during the 1902 season. He became a player-manager for the NY Giants in 1902 and served as the Giants Manager 1907-1932. He was so successful because he always played to win. By learning the rules thoroughly, he was able to develop “strategy and guile”, both as a player and manager, to make more opportunities to steal bases, tire pitchers and generally harass the opposing team, forcing errors or poor decisions. He was one of the first to develop the “hit and run”, use of relief pictures to “save games, and his teams usually led in base stealing.

  • Required Recommended but Optional
    WOOSTER HIGH SCHOOL HONORS ENGLISH II SUMMER READING ASSIGNMENT Welcome to Honors English II. Honors English II is an intensive course for the serious, mature, and capable student that builds upon the language skills learned in previous grades by providing instruction and practice in various areas of the English curriculum: grammar, study skills, vocabulary, reading, writing, listening, and oral communication. Summer Reading Rationale Summer reading helps students to: • Improve vocabulary and other language skills • Maintain reading skills over summer break • Develop fluency and independent reading skills • Become lifelong readers You have two (2) reading assignments to complete over the summer. One, you must complete the reading of Mitch Albom’s book Tuesdays With Morrie and, two, you must read one other book of your choosing from the attached list that contains one of the themes you will find in To Kill A Mockingbird (a book we will read in class when you return). You will be expected to annotate the books since you will be using the information you gather to write an essay about both books when you return to school in the fall. Since you are expected to take notes in the books, you are encouraged to buy your own copies, though you may use post-it notes for the annotating if you wish. You should carefully notice the following elements as you read and use them for the basis of your annotating: character, settings, conflicts, themes, plot development, and literary techniques. Complete this entire process for both books, as well as the starred steps for Morrie. GUIDELINES FOR TAKING NOTES DURING YOUR READING: Required INSIDE FRONT COVER: Character list with small space for character summary and for page references for key scenes, moments of character development, etc.
