  • Konerko: Mr. White Sox for the New Millennium
    Konerko: Mr. White Sox for the new millennium By Dr. David J. Fletcher, CBM President Posted Monday, September 30th, 2013 Although it was a disaster for both the Cubs and Sox, the end of Chicago baseball season is always sad. The transition to October is a sorrowful moment even this year. Both teams finished in last place with a combined record of 129- 195. That mark sets all-time Chicago baseball record for futility with the most combined losses. This season is a far cry from 2008, when both teams advanced to Paul Konerko talks the postseason together for the first time since the 1906 World about possible re- Series. The first-ever Subway Series finally was a possibility. But tirement in his dug- both the Cubs and Sox quickly fizzled in the Division Series. Nei- out press conference ther has made the postseason since. on Sept. 27. For me as a Chicago baseball historian, the hardest thing about the season end is the fact that Sunday’s curtain-closer at U.S. Cellular Field might have been be the final time that Paul Konerko (“PK”) appeared in a Sox uniform. PK was pulled from the game, walking off from his first-base position, in a class move by Manager Robin Ventura. He left after one out in the 2nd inning to allow the Chicago faithful one more time to cheer for PK to shouts of “Paulie…Paulie…Paulie.” As is his custom, PK did not soak up the limelight and exited his as fast as possible to get to the dugout, acknowledging the fans with a brief curtain call and hugs/high fives from his teammates in the dugout.

The New York Yankees, Philadelphia/Oakland Athletics, and St. Louis Cardinals have won many. The Boston Red Sox, Chicago White Sox, and San Francisco Giants endured decades-long dry spells before they finally won the orldW Series. Even expansion teams like the New York Mets, Toronto Blue Jays, Kansas City Royals, and Florida Marlins have won multiple championships. Other expansion teams like the San Diego Padres and Texas Rangers have been to the Fall Classic multiple times, although they did not win. Then we have the Chicago Cubs. The Cubs have not been to a World Series since 1945, and have not won one since 1908.

  • Watching Baseball Games Remotely Before Television
    From the Fall 2012 issue of Sports Tech Journal - all rights reserved Watching Baseball Games Remotely Before Television by Mark Schubin The infamous 1919 “Black Sox” World Series began in Cincinnati on October 1. According to the book Eight Men Out by Eliot Asinof (Macmillan, 2000), gambler Arnold Rothstein, later accused but never indicted of paying to influence the results, headed to New York’s Ansonia Hotel, where he lived, to watch the opening of the game. He was reportedly looking for a signal that the fix was on. The paragraph above is true. It is also seemingly impossible. On what mechanism could Rothstein have been watching live a remote baseball game in 1919? In the U.S. baseball wasn’t televised until 1939. There were some earlier baseball television moments -- in Japan a 60-scanning-line electromechanical television system shot a baseball game in 1931, and, earlier, in 1928 a Bell Labs engineer hypothesized bringing a 50-line system to the Polo Grounds -- but 1919 is earlier still. Even the first baseball game broadcast merely on radio wasn’t until 1921. Nevertheless, Rothstein was able to watch the 1919 series opener, as it was happening, almost 600 miles away from where it was being played. According to Eight Men Out , other viewers of the image- display system he was watching at the Ansonia Hotel “would testify to its excitement. It was almost like being there, they said.” Although baseball has antecedents dating back at least to the 14 th century, the first newspaper account of a game and perhaps the first game with some recognizably modern elements (three strikes to an out, three outs to a team’s inning, fair & foul territory, an umpire, etc.) both date to the fall of 1845.

  • "Red" Faber (Chicago AL
    URBAN CLARENCE “RED” FABER RIGHT-HANDED PITCHER 1914-33 By Brian Cooper Cooper is the author of “Red Faber: A Biography of the Hall of Fame Spitball Pitcher,” published by McFarland & Co. in 2007. He is executive editor of the Telegraph Herald, a daily newspaper published in Dubuque, Iowa. The following article discusses Faber’s minor league career in Iowa. © 2007, Society for American Baseball Research 1 Before starting a major-league career that would earn him a place in the National Baseball Hall of Fame Urban Clarence "Red" Faber (Chicago AL, 1914-33) pitched four of his five minor-league seasons in his native Iowa. Faber was born to parents of Luxembourg descent on Sept. 6, 1888, on a farm outside the small northeast Iowa town of Cascade, in Dubuque County. Within a few years, the family lived in downtown Cascade, where his parents, Nicholas and Margaret, owned and operated the Hotel Faber. The earliest record of Urban Faber playing baseball is 1903, when the 14-year-old appears in the team photo of Sacred Heart Academy (Prairie du Chien, Wis.). After two years at Sacred Heart, the red-haired Faber transferred to the prep academy of St. Joseph’s College (now Loras College) in Dubuque, about 20 miles east of Cascade. About that time, the Faber family moved from Cascade to Dubuque, where they lived off Nicholas’ investments and real estate holdings. Urban played baseball at least one season (1906) at St. Joseph’s. He also pitched for the Tigers, a leading semi- pro team in Dubuque, and other squads at a rate of $2 to $5 a game.
