    RODRRODOD DEDEAUXDDEDEAUXEDEAUX ˨˨ THETTHEHE ARCHITECTAARCHITECTRCHITECT OOFOFF UUSCUSCSC BBASEBALLBASEBALLASEBALL On January 5, 2006, the USC baseball program suff ered the loss of Rod Dedeaux, one of the greatest college coaches ever, who passed away at the age of 91. Not only was Dedeaux the main architect for the success of the USC baseball program, but also one of the great ambassadors for college baseball and amateur baseball in international competition. In his 45-year tenure at USC (1942-86), Dedeaux led the Trojans to 11 national championships and 28 conference titles. He posted an overall record of 1,332-571-11 for a superb .699 winning percentage. At his retirement, he had won more games than any other college baseball coach (he currently ranks seventh among Division I coaches). His teams from 1970-74 won fi ve straight NCAA championships, a record that may never be broken. No other school has won more than two in a row. Two personal honors for Dedeaux, which are quite fi tting considering his accomplishments, came in 1999 when he was named “Coach of the Century” by both Baseball America and Collegiate Baseball. As part of the 50th anniversary of the College World Series in 1996, Dedeaux was named the head coach of the All-Time CWS team by a panel of former World Series coaches, media and college baseball offi cials. In 1999, he was presented with keys to the city of Omaha (home to the College World Series). Dedeaux was named Coach of the Year six times by the American Baseball Coaches Association and was inducted into the organization’s Hall of Fame in 1970.

  • Fairmont Martins Baseball
    The Fairmont Martins Baseball is affectionately referred to as “America‟s National Pastime,” but how many of you recall what some might refer to as the “glory days” of baseball right here in Fairmont? After World War II, from the late 1940‟s to 1960, baseball might have been called “Fairmont‟s Pastime,” as the Fairmont Martins semi-pro baseball team was very popular, they played a very good brand of baseball, and they only carried about twelve to fifteen players on the team. They played at Martins Park, which was located in the vicinity of the current U.S. Post Office parking lot at Five Lakes Centre, with the 315 foot right field line aiming out toward Willow Street. So, who were these “Boys of Summer” of that bygone era of Fairmont Martins baseball, and how did these players happen to come to Fairmont? The Fairmont Martins were a semi-pro Class AA team, and were in Class A during the 1959 and 1960 seasons. They started in what was called the Western Minny League, and then joined the more prestigious Southern Minny League in 1955. Also, the Martins were the Class AA state champions in 1955 and 1957, and the Class A champs in 1959. The ball club was one of the biggest promotions Fairmont had during those years. The team would draw over 25,000 annually, averaging about 1,100 to 1,200 spectators per game. As the often quoted Yogi Berra, famed New York Yankee of that era, might have said regarding the attendance for Martins games during that time in local history, “If the people don‟t want to come out to the ballpark, nobody‟s going to stop them.” Many of the players at that point in time came to Fairmont by word of mouth, and they came from all over the U.

  • The New York Yankees As an American Cultural Icon, 1940-1970
    The New York Yankees as an American Cultural Icon, 1940-1970 By William C. Bishop Submitted to the graduate degree program in American Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. __________________________________ Chairperson James Carothers __________________________________ Co-Chairperson Jonathan Earle __________________________________ Ben Chappell __________________________________ Henry Bial __________________________________ Charles Marsh Date defended: April 18, 2014 ii The Dissertation Committee for William C. Bishop certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: The New York Yankees as an American Cultural Icon, 1940-1970 ____________________________ Chairperson James Carothers ____________________________ Co-Chairperson Jonathan Earle Date approved: April 18, 2014 iii Abstract The New York Yankees as an American Cultural Icon, 1940-1970 The New York Yankees baseball club, arguably the United States’ most successful and well-known sports franchise, have acquired many cultural connotations over the years, meanings transcending the immediate world of on-field sporting contest. This study argues that by the 1940s, the Yankee’s success in the previous decades and their representation in popular culture caused a coherent set of cultural meanings to crystallize around the club to create an American icon. This icon served as an emblem for a set of interrelated mid-century mainstream American values, namely the American dream of upward mobility, heroic masculinity, and a narrative of national success. The meanings, perspectives on, and uses of this mid-century Yankees cultural icon have not been homogeneous, but have shifted generally with the team’s on-field performance and broader historic changes, as well as with the perspectives of individual cultural producers and audiences.
