The National Cancer Institute states that chewing tobacco and snuff contain 28 cancer­causing agents and the U.S. National Toxicology Program has established smokeless tobacco as a "known human carcinogen."

    University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Department of History The Triple Play Twentieth Century Representation of Baseball in Wisconsin Jacqueline McKay Advising Professor: Jane Pederson Spring 2013 Copyright for this work is owned by the author. This digital version in published by McIntyre Library, University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire with the consent of the author. i Abstract Wisconsin has a rich history rooted in immigrants, industry, and sporting culture, all of which played a role in the history of baseball. Baseball's history throughout the state has changed because of major historic events but also with the guided assistance of three memorable men. The role Raymond Gillette, Henry Aaron, and Allen Selig played in the history of Wisconsin's story in the sport of baseball gives it a unique past, and rare evolution of the game unmatched by other states. Following the story of these men and the shift in baseball's importance during World War II, Wisconsin's story of baseball has changed from being a part of industrial worker culture, to the sport as a major industry itself. Each of these men has provided a different aspect of the sport and their importance is equal, yet unmatched. ii Acknowledgment I would like to thank my professor Dr. Jane Pederson as well as Erin Devlin, my mentor on the project. Without their guidance and support with the paper I would have had a much more difficult, and less enjoyable experience. I would also like to thank Raymond Gillette, Henry Aaron, and Allen Selig for the tremendous effect that have had on baseball in the state of Wisconsin, and although I do not have the resources or connections to thank them personally, their impact is what made this project possible.

  • Chicago Tribune: Baseball World Lauds Jerome
    Baseball world lauds Jerome Holtzman -- chicagotribune.com Page 1 of 3 www.chicagotribune.com/sports/chi-22-holtzman-baseballjul22,0,5941045.story chicagotribune.com Baseball world lauds Jerome Holtzman Ex-players, managers, officials laud Holtzman By Dave van Dyck Chicago Tribune reporter July 22, 2008 Chicago lost its most celebrated chronicler of the national pastime with the passing of Jerome Holtzman, and all of baseball lost an icon who so graciously linked its generations. Holtzman, the former Tribune and Sun-Times writer and later MLB's official historian, indeed belonged to the entire baseball world. He seemed to know everyone in the game while simultaneously knowing everything about the game. Praise poured in from around the country for the Hall of Famer, from management and union, managers and players. "Those of us who knew him and worked with him will always remember his good humor, his fairness and his love for baseball," Commissioner Bud Selig said. "He was a very good friend of mine throughout my career in the game and I will miss his friendship and counsel. I extend my deepest sympathies to his wife, Marilyn, to his children and to his many friends." The men who sat across from Selig during labor negotiations—a fairly new wrinkle in the game that Holtzman became an expert at covering—remembered him just as fondly. "I saw Jerry at Cooperstown a few years ago and we talked old times well into the night," said Marvin Miller, the first executive director of the Players Association. "We always had a good relationship. He was a careful writer and, covering a subject matter he was not familiar with, he did a remarkably good job." "You don't develop the reputation he had by accident," said present-day union boss Donald Fehr.

Now Smith is remanded to whatever latter-day name the old Veterans Committee takes. And that panel only meets every three years to consider the late 20th century period group in which Smith pitched. “Maybe if the veterans thing comes around, but I don’t Lee Smith knew he'd fall short think I’ll be paying too much attention,” said a philo- in Hall of Fame voting. sophical Smith. One man’s meat always is another man’s poison in Hall of Fame voting. Tim Raines, with two distinguished tenures as a White Sox player and coach, is going in with Jeff Bagwell and Ivan Rodriguez. Meanwhile, Smith has to take his proverbial glove and ball, and go home even after ranking as the all-time saves leader not long ago. Smith, working for many years as the Giants’ roving minor-league pitching instructor, has long stopped rationalizing the voting process in which he started off relatively strong, then lost ground through recent years.

Make plans to attend SABR’s 29th annual convention, June 24-27, at the Radisson Resort in sunny Scottsdale, Arizona. And try to get there early: the Busienss of Baseball Committee’s annual meeting will be held Thursday afternoon, June 24, from 3:00-4:00 p.m. We’re scheduled opposite Baseball Records and just before Ballparks and Retrosheet.) Last issue’s discussion of the large market/small market issue ran so long that I’ve got six months of news updates to present...so on with the show! MLB News Luxury tax bills paid. After posting a 79-83 record with the majors’ highest payroll, the Baltimore Orioles were hit with a $3,138,621 luxury tax bill for the 1998 season. Other taxpayers included the Red Sox ($2,184,734), Yankees ($684,390), Braves ($495,625) and Dodgers ($49,593). The tax threshold, originally expected to reach $55 million in 1998, actually leaped to $70,501,185, including $5,576,415 per team in benefits. This figure represents the midpoint between the fifth- and sixth-highest payrolls. The luxury tax rate falls from 35% to 34% in 1999, then disappears entirely in 2000. Owners go 9-2 in arbitration. Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera of the Yankees were the only players to win their arbitration hearings, although 51 of the 62 cases settled before a ruling.

I lusted after the various sports games advertised in the magazines until my mom finally relented and bought Strat-O-Matic Football for me in 1972. I got SOM’s baseball game a year later and I was hooked. I would get the new card set each year and attempt to play the in-progress season by moving the traded players around and turning ‘nameless player cards” into that year’s key rookies. I switched to APBA in the late ‘70’s because they started releasing some complete old season sets and the idea of playing with those really caught my fancy. Between then and the mid-nineties, I collected a lot of card sets.
