Baseball in Kalamazoo (Since 1890)
All About Kalamazoo History – Kalamazoo Public Library Baseball in Kalamazoo (Since 1890) The Dead Ball Era A Rough and Rowdy Sport By the late 1800s, baseball had become America’s favorite pastime—perhaps the most widely played sport in the country—and it had changed considerably. No longer a casual game reserved for the country club elite, baseball had become a rough and rowdy sport of the working class, where beer and cigars were seemingly required equipment, and ardent rivalries among local and regional teams were Kalamazoo College Men's Baseball Team, c.1896 Kalamazoo College CACHE: College Academic and Historical Experience commonplace. It was during this era that the American Association (1882 to 1891) earned its nickname “Beer and Whiskey League” for selling beer at games (four of the league’s owners were brewmasters), playing on Sundays (a 19th century taboo), and opening the sport to working-class spectators. Stories were told of competition between some teams becoming so intense at times that umpires were ©1998-2015 Kalamazoo Public Library Page | 1 All About Kalamazoo History – Kalamazoo Public Library compelled to bear arms, and the ultimate outcome of a hotly contested battle might well be decided with fists at the local watering hole after the game. “Baseball was a rough game,” recalled one veteran player, “we played hurt, we played hard, and even if a fight broke out no one was ejected.” Baseball in Kalamazoo During the ‘Gay Nineties’ A significant number of early independent teams existed in Kalamazoo during the years around the dawn of the 20th century.

The Mirage of SAPA & Minor League Baseball Wages
BRUCKER (DO NOT DELETE) 11/5/2020 10:25 PM [SCREW] AMERICA’S PASTIME ACT: THE MIRAGE OF SAPA & MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WAGES John Brucker* I. INTRODUCTION The dream of becoming a professional baseball player is an aspiration as all-American as the sport itself. And while baseball and hot dogs are a timeless duo, it is unsurprising that few young people are as enchanted by the prospect of becoming a professional hot dog vendor. Curiously, though, in all but a select few professional ballparks, the hot dog vendor actually makes more money than the ballplayer.1 Jeremy Wolf, a minor league baseball player formerly in the New York Mets organization, attests, “I was paid $45 per game . $3 [per] hour for 70 hours a week . I played in front of 8,000 people [each] night and went to bed hungry. [A]fter seven months of work, I left with less money than I started . .”2 Be that as it may, Major League Baseball (MLB), for its part, presides over this puzzling reality as puppeteer.3 Players at the MLB level earn astounding wealth; however, members of a major league team’s minor leagues—the multi-tiered system below it that employs thousands of Minor League Baseball (MiLB) players who form the lifeblood of an organization’s future—fight to pay rent and eat a decent meal, all while vying rigorously for a promotion to MLB. Because of the inherent symbiosis between MLB and MiLB, the wage disparity between the two entities defies common sense, but not logic: MLB is a business and a good one at that.

Jefferson Report
Jefferson Report Facts and Friction: Assessing the Impact of Major League Baseball’s Proposal to Reduce Minor League Franchises By Alan Swigonski The Jefferson Educational Society will periodically publish reports on issues important to the Erie region. This report was written by Alan Swigonski. Swigonski, a retired auditor, is the former managing director of the Waldron Campus Center at Gannon University. He was the founding co-director and president of Team Erie, the citizens action group that from 1990 to 1995 helped galvanize public opinion to build Jerry Uht Park, now UPMC Park. Editor’s Note: Reports on the unfolding baseball controversy will be updated on the Jefferson’s website, jeserie.org, and in emails to the Jefferson Report’s list of supporters. – Pat Cuneo, Publications Coordinator 3 ‘Baseball, it is said, is only a game. True. And the Grand Canyon is only a hole in Arizona.’ – George Will, columnist and author Erie May Lose Pro Baseball Facts and Friction: Assessing the Impact of Major League Baseball’s Proposal to Reduce Minor League Franchises By Alan Swigonski Major League Baseball is suddenly considering a radical proposal to eliminate the player development agreements for 42 of its 162 minor league teams at the end of the 2020 season – and the future of MLB-affiliated professional baseball in Erie is squarely on the target list. That development, which continues to unfold, and the alarm expressed by community, government, and business interests – locally, across the state, and nationally – has been swift and Erie SeaWolves President Greg Coleman presents jersey to sweeping. SeaWolves owner Fernando Aguirre Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred is the force behind the proposal, for which most baseball watchers suspect is one way for Manfred to bolster his tough guy image in advance of negotiations with the Major League Baseball Players Association as the current Collective Bargaining Agreement is due to expire in 2022.

Independent Professional Baseball Education Atlantic League
Independent Professional Baseball Education Atlantic League The Atlantic League was founded in 1998 and consists of 8 teams, primarily on the East Coast of the United States. The league is a popular landing spot for former Major League baseball players who are looking to get back to affiliated baseball quickly. Typically, Atlantic League players are a little older and have previous professional playing experience. American Association / Can-Am League The American Association was founded in 2005 and consists of 12 teams in the Midwest and East Coast of the United States. The Association plays an integrated schedule with Can-Am League teams as both league share a commissioner and various front office staff. Typically, the American Association is made up of players with previous professional experience with a handful of rookies on each team. Frontier League The Frontier League was founded in 1993 and consists of 12 teams. It is the longest, continually operational independent league in professional baseball. Most teams in the Frontier League are located in the Midwest of the United States. The Frontier League is viewed as an ideal place to play for younger players with little or no professional experience. Frontier League bylaws state that each team may only have under contract a limited number of experienced players. Because of this, the Frontier League typically sends more players to affiliated baseball than any other independent professional league. The Frontier League also makes a point of signing young, exciting players with bright futures in the game as evidenced by their agreement with the California Winter League to sign players every year during the CWL season.
