  • Early Pioneers of the Negro Leagues
    Early Pioneers of the Negro Leagues: Walter “Slick” Schlichter by Center for Negro League Baseball Research Dr. Layton Revel and Luis Munoz Copyright 2016 Philadelphia Giants (1902) Formed before the start of the 1902 season by Walter Schlichter, Harry Smith and Sol White, the Philadelphia Giants were a force to be reckoned with in black baseball in the East from their very first season. They ended the 1902 season with an impressive won-loss record of 81-43-1 (.653). Philadelphia Giants (1902) (Back row left to right – Farrell, John Nelson, Sol White, Charles “Kid” Carter and William Warwick. Middle row left to right – W. Smith, Frank Grant, Walter Schlichter, William Bell, Harry Smith and Andrew “Jap” Payne. Front row left to right – Day and Peter Burns) Henry Walter “Slick” Schlichter Henry Walter “Slick” Schlichter (1866-1944) was the co-founder and owner of the “original” Philadelphia Giants baseball team that played from 1902-1911. From 1904 to 1909 the Philadelphia Giants were one of the best if not the best black baseball team in America. They won four straight “Colored World’s Championships” from 1904-1907. Schlichter started his professional career in journalism. Eventually he became the sports editor and a featured sports writer for the Philadelphia Evening Item in Philadelphia, PA. Walter was not only a journalist but also an avid sportsman. He participated and excelled in swimming, running, boxing and rowing. In his landmark book, Sol White’s History of Colored Baseball with Other Documents on the Early Black Game 1886-1936, White presented a copy of a newspaper article that he had written for the Amsterdam News (New York City) on December 18, 1930.

  • Baseball Diplomacy, Baseball Deployment: the National
    BASEBALL DIPLOMACY, BASEBALL DEPLOYMENT: THE NATIONAL PASTIME IN U.S.-CUBA RELATIONS by JUSTIN W. R. TURNER HOWARD JONES, COMMITTEE CHAIR STEVEN BUNKER LAWRENCE CLAYTON LISA LINDQUIST-DORR RICHARD MEGRAW A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2012 Copyright Justin W. R. Turner 2012 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT The game of baseball, a shared cultural affinity linking Cuba and the United States, has played a significant part in the relationship between those nations. Having arrived in Cuba as a symbol of growing American influence during the late nineteenth century, baseball would come to reflect the political and economic connections that developed into the 1900s. By the middle of the twentieth century, a significant baseball exchange saw talented Cuban players channeled into Major League Baseball, and American professionals compete in Cuba’s Winter League. The 1959 Cuban Revolution permanently changed this relationship. Baseball’s politicization as a symbol of the Revolution, coupled with political antagonism, an economic embargo, and an end to diplomatic ties between the Washington and Havana governments largely destroyed the U.S.-Cuba baseball exchange. By the end of the 1960s, Cuban and American baseball interactions were limited to a few international amateur competitions, and political hardball nearly ended some of these. During the 1970s, Cold War détente and the success of Ping Pong Diplomacy with China sparked American efforts to use baseball’s common ground as a basis for improving U.S.-Cuba relations.

Data compiled in the seamheads.com Negro League Database, launched in September 2011, was analyzed and compared to data from Major League Baseball, via baseball- reference.com, over the same time period. Despite incomplete data from the Negro Leagues, the results do show some interesting similarities and significant differences in the two data sets. The data shows that both leagues’ batting production progressed similarly throughout the era, with a similar spike in power production at the end of the “Dead Ball Era” in 1920. Results indicate that the primary difference between the leagues was that Negro League teams produced poorer fielding averages. The result of this was higher run production in the Negro Leagues in every year examined in the study, despite the fact that Major League teams often produced better in batting statistics such as batting average, on base percentage and slugging percentage. Introduction The Major League Baseball color line ended in 1947 with the debut of Jackie Robinson.

DESCRIPTORS *Acculturation; *Cubans; Cultural Awareness; *Cultural Differences; Economic Factors; *Hispanic Americans; *Immigrants; Limited English Speaking; *Refugees; Relocation; United States History IDENTIFIERS *Cuba ABSTRACT This fact sheet is designed to give those working with newly arrived Cubans in the United States a brief refresher on Cuban geography and history, especially the history of Cuba's relations with the United States. It reviews events that have brought Cubans to the United States, and discusses the values newcomers are likely to have brought with them and the repercussions these values might have for resettlement in this country. In discussions about Cubans coming to the United States, it is important to distinguish between immigrants who have come as a result of normal immigration visas and those who have left their native country without permission of their government. There are well over a million Cubans in the United States, with the majority in Florida. The most recent wave of Cuban arrivals peaked in the summer of 1994 after the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the economic changes it brought to Cuba.

  • Introduction
    Introduction I FIRST LEARNED that there were black people living someplace in the Western Hemisphere other than the United States when my father told me the fi rst thing that he had wanted to be when he grew up. When he was a boy about my age, he said, he had wanted to be an Episcopal priest, because he so admired his priest at St. Philip’s Episcopal Church in Cumberland, Maryland, a black man from someplace called Haiti. I knew by this time that there were black people in Africa, of course, because of movies such as Tarzan and TV shows such as Shena, Queen of the Jungle and Ramar of the Jungle. And then, in 1960, when I was ten years old, our fi fth-grade class studied “Current Aff airs,” and we learned about the seventeen African nations that gained their independence that year. I did my best to memorize the names of these countries and their leaders, though I wasn’t quite sure why I found these facts so very appealing. But my father’s revelation about his earliest childhood am- bition introduced me to the fact that there were black people living in other parts of the New World, a fact that I found quite surprising. It wasn’t until my sophomore year at Yale, as a student auditing Robert Farris Th ompson’s art history class “Th e Trans-Atlantic Tradi- tion: From Africa to the Black Americas,” that I began to understand how “black” the New World really was. Professor Th ompson used a methodology that he called the “Tri-Continental Approach” — com- plete with three slide projectors — to trace visual leitmotifs that re- curred among African, African American, and Afro-descended artistic traditions and artifacts in the Caribbean and Latin America, to show, à la Melville Herskovits, the retention of what he called “Africanisms” in the New World.

  • Adrian Burgos Jr
    Baseball Should Follow the Flag: Latinos, the Color Line, and Major League Baseball’s Globalization Strategies Presented to the Conference on Globalization and Sport in Historical Context University of California, San Diego March 2005 Adrian Burgos Jr. That Base Ball follows the flag is abundantly proven by facts set forth in these pages. It has been played by our soldiers and sailors where[ever] they have carried the stars and stripes. A.G. Spalding, America’s National Game (1911) Indeed, why may we not look forward to a succession of visits from ‘colonial’ players, from Cuba and Porto Rico, from Hawaii and the Philippines? Someone has said that in the British military expeditions to the four corners of the earth, the Cricket bat goes with the cannon, and while the United States has no lands of tribes to conquer, it is only to be expected that Base Ball, along with Boston beans and beefsteaks, will invade our new possessions. New York Sun, Quoted in America’s National Game (1911) More than a Game In 1911, sporting goods mogul A.G. Spaulding and his alleged ghostwriter sports journalist Henry Chadwick authored a history of baseball that celebrated America’s “national game.” Several of the chapters ventured outside the continental United States to discuss baseball’s spread in the “American colonies.” Described as a positive development, Spalding noted that baseball had already begun its formal development at several of the outposts of the new American empire. “Throughout 1 Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii regularly scheduled league games are played, exciting deep interest and attracting great throngs of spectators.
