Representative Upchurch, fellow sponsors: Representatives Brent, Cera, Crossman, Romanchuk, Sheehy, Holmes, G., West, Miller, A., Strahorn, Crawley, Skindell, Seitz, Weinstein, Sweeney, Sobecki, Smith, R., Miller, J., Smith, K. and members of the General Assembly of the State of Ohio; we thank you for this opportunity to provide testimony toward House Bill No. 117 to enact Section 5.52 of the Revised Code. This past February Major League Baseball lost a legend with the passing of Frank Robinson. Few players in Major League Baseball history can match the accomplishments of Frank Robinson. In 21 seasons, Frank earned a Rookie of the Year Award, hit for the Triple Crown, was a 14-time All-Star, a World Series MVP and the only player to be named MVP in both the American and National Leagues. The hard-nosed Robinson, who grew up playing on asphalt baseball fields in Oakland, CA was one of baseball’s all-time greats. Late in his playing career, Mr. Robinson arrived in Cleveland, OH midway through the 1974 season, adding a veteran presence to the Cleveland team. Following the season, on October 3, 1974, Frank Robinson’s history-making career took another giant step forward when Indians ownership announced him as the team’s player-manager for the 1975 season. Mr. Robinson would be the first African-American manager in baseball history. On May 27, 2017 the Cleveland Indians were proud to honor Mr. Robinson unveiling a statue in Heritage Park to commemorate the moment, Opening Day 1975, when another significant barrier was broken in Cleveland. On that date in 2017 we also retired Mr. Robinson’s uniform number 20. The Cleveland Indians organization is proud to honor the remarkable and historic career of Frank Robinson, and are fully supportive of H.B. No. 117, Section 5.52 designating Mr. Robinson’s birthdate – August 31 – as Frank Robinson Day in the State of Ohio. Sincerely, Bob DiBiasio Sr VP Public Affairs Cleveland Indians .

Almost a Pelican
Almost A Pelican By S. Derby Gisclair The winningest pitcher in Cleveland Indians history, in 1962 Feller became the first pitcher since charter member Walter Johnson to be elected to the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility. Though regarded as the fastest pitcher of his day, he himself attributed his strikeout records to his curve and slider. Blessed with a strong arm and an encouraging father, young Feller pitched to a makeshift backstop on the family farm near Van Meter, Iowa. Cleveland scout Cy Slapnicka signed him for one dollar and an autographed baseball. His velocity became an immediate legend when he struck out eight Cardinals in a three-inning exhibition stint. He came up as a 17- year-old at the end of 1936 and fanned 15 Browns in his first ML start and 17 Athletics shortly thereafter. But he was extremely wild. In 1938 he became a regular starter for the Indians. He won 17 and led the AL in strikeouts with 240. He also set a ML record with 208 walks. Although he led the AL in walks three more times, his control progressively improved. Meanwhile, he led the AL in both strikeouts and wins from 1939 to 1941. In 1940, he won his personal high with 27, including an Opening Day no-hitter against the White Sox. Yet the year was tarnished, first when Cleveland veterans, including Feller, earned the nickname Crybabies by asking Cleveland owner Alva Bradley to replace stern manager Ossie Vitt. Then Feller lost the season's climactic game and the pennant to Tigers unknown Floyd Giebell, despite pitching a three-hitter.

Abrams [Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Temple University Press 1998] xi / 226 pages ISBN: 1-56639-599-2 In spite of the greater popularity of football and basketball, baseball remains the sport of greatest interest to writers, artists, and historians. The same appears to be true for law professors as well. Recent years have seen the publication Spencer Waller, Neil Cohen, & Paul Finkelman's, Baseball and the American Legal Mind (1995) and G. Ed- ward White's, Creating the National Pastime: Baseball Transforms Itself, 1903-1953 (1996). Now noted labor law expert and Rutgers-Newark Law School Dean Roger Abrams has entered the field with Legal Bases: Baseball and the Law. Unlike the Waller, Cohen, Finkelman anthology of documents and White's history, Abrams does not attempt the survey the full range of intersections between the baseball industry and the legal system. In- stead, he focuses upon the history of labor-management relations.

Torre (MLB) Testimony
Office of the Commissioner MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL STATEMENT OF JOE TORRE, EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT OF MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL, BEFORE THE SENATE COMMERCE, SCIENCE, AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE DECEMBER 2, 2014 Chairman Rockefeller, Senator Thune, and members of the Committee, I am Joe Torre, Executive Vice President of Baseball Operations for Major League Baseball. On behalf of Major League Baseball, I thank you for the opportunity to discuss the efforts that we are undertaking to address the issues of domestic violence and sexual assault. The subject matter of this hearing is personally important to me. As a person whose childhood was touched by domestic violence, I have come to understand that discussing the issue publicly has the potential to help millions of victims who believe that they must suffer in silence. In 2002, my wife Ali and I formed the “Safe at Home” Foundation to create educational programs aimed at ending the cycle of domestic violence. I consider it one of my proudest accomplishments in my career. Through my work in this area, including co-chairing the Attorney General’s Task Force on Children Exposed to Violence, I have had the opportunity to work with some truly outstanding individuals who have devoted their lives to working toward solving the issue of domestic violence in this country. Commissioner Selig has instilled in our sport the understanding that Major League Baseball is a social institution, and as our national pastime, has an obligation to set a positive example. The Commissioner and I deplore domestic violence and crimes against women and families. We recognize the very clear public expectation for 245 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10167 (212) 931-7800 www.mlb.com Statement of Joe Torre December 2, 2014 Page 2 professional sports leagues to be leaders in addressing this social ill.

Indians Party Like It's 1997 After Winning Pennant
Indians party like it's 1997 after winning pennant Cleveland will host Game 1 of the World Series for first time in its history By Jordan Bastian / MLB.com | @MLBastian | 12:38 AM ET TORONTO -- They took turns passing the trophy around. A bottle in one hand and the hardware in the other, one by one, Cleveland's players savored their moment. They would stare at it, champagne dripping from the gold eagle that sits atop the black base, pausing for a moment before posing for photos. In that brief personal moment, the players probably thought about all that had to happen for the Indians to reach this stage, for that trophy to be placed in their arms. Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Blue Jays in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series, a victory that clinched the franchise's sixth AL pennant, gave the world a look at what has defined this Indians team all season long, and why it is now going to the World Series. "I'm just really happy that we're standing here today," said Indians president Chris Antonetti, as his players partied on the other side of Rogers Centre's visitors' clubhouse. "However we got here, I'm not sure I've reflected back on. But this team, the resiliency, the grit, the perseverance to overcome all that they've gone through over the course of the season ..." More champagne bottles popped behind him. "The guys we have are not focused on who's not here," he continued, "but focused on the guys that are here and [they] try to find a way to help them win.

Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3 | Chapter 4 | Chapter 5 | Chapter 6 | Chapter 7 "If They Could Only Get Over The Idea That They Owned Us"12 A look at sports pages during the past year reveals that the seemingly endless argument between the owners of major league baseball teams and their players is once more taking attention away from the game on the field. At the heart of the trouble between players and management is the fact that baseball, by fiat of antitrust exemption, is a http://www.empire.net/~lewisec/Players_League_web2.html Page 1 of 7 Players' League-Chapter 2 7/19/2001 12:12 PM monopolistic, monopsonistic cartel, whose leaders want to operate in the style of Gilded Age magnates.13 This desire is easily understood, when one considers that the business of major league baseball assumed its current structure in the 1880's--the heart of the robber baron era. Professional baseball as we know it today began with the formation of the National League of Professional Baseball Clubs in 1876. The National League (NL) was a departure from the professional organization which had existed previously: the National Association of Professional Base Ball Players. The main difference between the leagues can be discerned by their full titles; where the National Association considered itself to be by and for the players, the NL was a league of ball club owners, to whom the players were only employees.
