    A Boy of Summer Andrew Paul Mele “Every man carries within himself a world made up of all that he has seen and loved, and it is to this world that he returns incessantly.” —Francois-Rene de Chateaubriand, French Author and Diplomat, 1768 - 1848 “Those fans in Brooklyn were something. They were just about on the roster!” —Kirby Higbe, Pitcher, Brooklyn Dodgers, 1941-1947 The summer passed swiftly. After the initial shock of his father’s heart at- tack in the spring, the boy and his family settled into an uneasy routine of medication and walks and having his father around the house all the time. Robert sometimes felt guilty about his own feelings. His father’s convalescence enabled them to spend more time together than had been possible before, and for that the boy was grateful. It was baseball and the Brooklyn Dodgers that established the link between father and son, and through that summer of 1955, both were able to revel in the successes of the ball club. They had gotten off to a rip-roaring start by win- ning the first ten games they played, then after losing two out of three to the Giants, they won another eleven to go 22 and 2 to open the season. Robert and his dad had gone to Ebbets Field for the second game of that Giant series.

  • Lewis R. Dorman, IV. Ghosts of Glory: a Bibliographic Essay Concerning Pre- 1941 Baseball Autobiography and Oral History
    Lewis R. Dorman, IV. Ghosts of Glory: a Bibliographic Essay Concerning Pre- 1941 Baseball Autobiography and Oral History. A Master’s Paper for the M.S. in L.S degree. April 2005. 93 pages. Advisor: Jerry Saye. This paper documents published sources related to autobiographies and oral histories of baseball players, pitchers, and managers who performed the preponderance of their professional career before the United States of America’s involvement with the Second World War. The paper separates the individual autobiographies into three sections based upon the era in which the player is most associated with: the Iron Age (1869-1902), the Silver Age (1903-1922), and the Golden Age (1904-1941). Each section arranges the players alphabetically by surname, and every player entry contains a photograph, brief biographical information, a quotation from the autobiography, and lists of anecdotal works, biographies, films, and museums correlating to the player, when available. The fourth section of the paper concerns oral history (1869-1941), arranging the monographs alphabetically, with each entry including information about the players interviewed similar to the first three sections, but arranged by the player’s occurrence in the monograph.

I crir ItE4L.A.&) Patriotism We have just passed through a period of holidays that were designed to stimulate pa- triotism and loyalty, Memorial Day, May 30; Flag Day, June 14, and Independence Day, July 4. Each of these days has its significance. The Declaration of Independence, by which the United States became a separate and distinct nation, was signed July 4, 1776. The first American flag was adopted by Congress on June 14, 1777. Memorial Day was set apart to commemorate those soldiers of the Civil War who sacrificed their lives that the country might stand undivided. It has assumed broader aspects, because soldiers of other wars and civilians, too, are honored on that day.
