  • First Annual West Coast Sports Collectors Convention
    THE CLASSIC CORNER April/May 2013 Price-List & Guide First Annual West Coast Sports Collectors Convention Date: August 23, 1969 Venue: Brea, California Co-Promoters: Edward Broder & James Nowell First Convention Attendees: (L to R) – John Thom (Partial), Don Ortolani, Ray Medeiros, Carlos Hernandez, Dennis Graye, Jim McConnell, Bill Kink, Jim Nowell, John J. Smith, John England. Front Row: Dale Brittan (Seated). Missing from Picture: Ed Broder (Took Photo) and Bill Johnson. Long before The National Sports Collectors Convention burst onto the scene in 1980, a small group (The Lucky 13 as they were referred to) of dedicated collectors gathered at James Nowell’s House in Brea, California to set precedent and make Hobby History as the very 1st Sports Collectors Convention. James Nowell, a Purchasing Administrator for Hunt Wesson Foods, along with Co-Promoter Ed Broder, brought together many of that era’s elite collectors for a one day affair that emphasized trading (and small scale selling) rather than the Big Business atmosphere that would permeate the Hobby in the decades to come. The impetus for the 1st Sports Collectors Convention was borne out of the growing fascination with Regional Baseball Card Sets on the West Coast that had actually been around since the 1950’s (Mother’s Cookies, Union Oil, Milwaukie Meats out of Portland, Oregon, etc.). Many of the (13) attendees that day were already in contact with one another through Hobby Ads in Trade Papers like: The Trader Speaks, Sports Collectors News, Ball Card Collector, etc. Thus, it was a natural progression of Things to forge ahead and pioneer the 1st Gathering of Cardboard Collectors.

    State of Tennessee Department of State Tennessee State Library and Archives JOHN B. GOOCH BASEBALL COLLECTION 1897-1993 COLLECTION SUMMARY Creator: Gooch, John Beverley, 1897-1975 Inclusive Dates: 1897-2020 Scope & Content: Consists of photocopied and original materials: photographs, membership cards, baseball game passes, souvenir programs, team schedules, newspaper clippings, and birth and death certificates. The photographs consist mainly of photocopies, though there are some fine originals including a Thuss portrait of the Gooches’ first son, John Claiborne, called “Skippy.” Others (excluding photocopies) include Johnny in the catcher’s position, wearing his Talladega uniform, sitting with Governor Winfield Dunn at the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame (TSHF) induction banquet, posing with wife Mary Virginia Omohundro on their 1922 wedding day, some reproduction picture postcards, a three-part panorama of Pittsburgh’s Forbes Field, and a hand-colored portrait of Mary. The remaining images and photocopies include one of Honus Wagner and Pie Traynor standing with the Gooch family. The photocopies and some negatives represent images sold at auction in 1993. The oversize boxes and folders (OV) feature mostly newspaper clippings, particularly sportswriter Fred Russell’s columns. Newspaper clippings follow Johnny’s career and, along with the photographs, track the life of a substantial major league baseball player. Additional items—two metal branding plates (“Genuine Airized 35” and “Official Softball”), one wooden stamp handle labeled “Gooch TV Service” and its rubber 1 address cushion, correspondence, clippings, photographs, photocopies, copy prints, and an obituary—round out the collection. Sports enthusiasts, scholars, and teachers should recognize the value of this collection as a contribution to the baseball literature.

Mr. Oden was born and raised in Brent- - wood and as such is armed with an intimate knowledge of Brentwood’s early years. He 0788 shared with me many of the topics that are covered in the book as well as some personal his- tory about the Oden family. In 1815, the Oden family first shows up on the tax records in Williamson County in Thomp- son’s Station. The family migrated to Brent- wood a few years later and bought a large tract of land containing 404 acres. The Oden farm encompassed all of what is now Carondelet ex- tending west over to Franklin Road. The small family cemetery at the Carondelet entrance on Wilson Pike remains deeded to the family today.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. ARTICLES THE JURISPRUDENCE OF JUDGE KENESAW MOUNTAIN LANDIS SHAYNA M. SIGMAN" This article debunks the conventional view of Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, a man who served as district court judge in the Northern District of Il- linois (1905-1922) and as the first commissioner of Organized Baseball (1921- 1944).' Relying on a realist lens of analysis, this novel work of legal history examines decisions from both halves of Landis's career to demonstrate that the "Benevolent Despot" was neither arbitrary nor unprincipled, as biographers have portrayed him to be. By exploring the rhetoric and content of the Landis opinions, letters, and pronouncements, this article reveals the common meth- odologies that Landis employed to legitimize the outcomes stemming from his focus on pragmatism, economic analysis of transactions, and Progressive era principles of moral justice. This article is relevant beyond its ability to utilize tools of jurisprudential analysis to correct an errant account of a legendary fig- ure; it also provides a useful framework for exploring the benevolent dictator model within private ordering.

  • Professional Baseball in Pittsburgh William E
    “AN INFORMAL GAME” William E. Benswanger, an insurance executive and patron of the arts, never want- ed to be involved with the Pittsburgh baseball club, though he was an avid Pi- rate fan growing up. Pirate owner Barney Dreyfuss had trained his son Sammy to take over the ownership of the Pirates. But when Sammy died of pneumonia on February 19, 1931, at the age of thirty-six, a grief-stricken Dreyfuss turned to Ben- swanger, his son-in-law, for help. After Dreyfuss’s death in 1932, his widow asked Benswanger to become president of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Despite his earlier reti- cence, Benswanger became a popular Pirate off-the-field leader and a repository for the history of baseball’s earliest days. The Dreyfuss family owned the Pirates for forty-six years, until, in 1946, it sold the club to a group of owners headed by Bing Crosby, Tom Johnson, Frank McKin- ney, and John Galbreath. Four months after the sale, Bill Benswanger talked about the early history of baseball in Pittsburgh with clarity and detail at a meeting of the Historical Society of Western Pennsylvania. He is not correct, however, in one detail of how the Pirates got their team name. The Philadelphia Athletics of the American Association had not disbanded after the Brotherhood of Players revolted against the reserve clause and formed the Players League in 1890. They were still alive in 1891 when they fought Pittsburgh for the rights to Louis Bierbauer after the collapse of the Players League. Professional Baseball in Pittsburgh WILLIAM E.
