GOING TO A METS GAME! The New York Mets play baseball at Citi Field in Queens, NY. I am excited to go to the game. I can either take the train or drive to Citi Field. When I arrive, I will see fans walking towards the ballpark. When I get to the gate, there might be a line to get in, I can be patient and wait my turn. When I get to the front of the line, I will go through security and go through a metal detector. The security guards are here to keep everyone safe. Now I get to scan my ticket to enter the ballpark! There will be lots of things to see, smell and hear when I walk through the ballpark. There are lots of signs that can help me find my way. I can take an escalator, elevator, stairs or ramp to get to different levels of the ballpark. I can ask anyone who wears a Citi Field ID for help. When I get to my section an usher will check my ticket and help me find my seat. My seat will look like this Once the game begins, I will hear music and cheering. Sometimes baseballs are hit into the stands. Keep an eye out. Whoever catches the ball can keep it! If I get hungry or thirsty, I can get food and a drink from a concession stand. There may be a line, but I can be patient. If a Mets player hits a home run, the Home Run Apple will pop up! I will see the Home Run Apple during the 7th inning stretch when everyone stands and sings “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” and “Lazy Mary”. I might see Mr. and Mrs. Met around the ballpark, I can wave or say hello! When I am ready to leave the game, I will go back through the gate and head home. .

Baseball's Bisexuality
Adrienne Harris, Ph.D. BaSeBall’S BISexualIty1 Abstract: In this essay I explore the function of sports in general and baseball in particular as a powerful element in the social construction and maintenance of masculinity within American culture. Sport’s function as an element in ideology is explored. I suggest that some of the key elements in baseball as a mass-audience sport make masculinity a complex and ultimately unstable construction through the medium and media production of baseball. I explore baseball’s relation to time and to language as aspects of complex gender assembly. Keywords: ideology, time, masculinity, social construction, narrative, bisexuality. HIS ESSAY IS PART PSYCHOANALYSIS, part social theory, part femi- Tnism, and part autobiography. It is an attempt to look, very locally, at the production and interpenetration of gender in cultural and intrapsy- chic life, specifically, in the experience of watching and following base- ball. To write this paper, I had to remember and think about a lot of my history, but also about the history of how sports function in and comment on social life and culture. At this point, 20 years after I began to work on this project, how I think about “Women, Baseball, and Words,” (my origi- nal title) is the outcome of my history with psychoanalytic feminism, and with gender studies, and gender theory. But this essay is also an outcome of my history as a daughter, as a wife, as a buddy, and most recently as a grandmother, somehow always someone rooted and vitalized in the intense pleasures of baseball. Only recently have I had a psychoanalytic 1 An early version of this paper, “Woman, Baseball and Words,” was published in Psychcri- tique, 1985, and reprinted in the Norton Guide to Literature, 1988.

Atlanta Braves Clippings Thursday, May 21, 2020 Braves.Com
Atlanta Braves Clippings Thursday, May 21, 2020 Braves.com Braves' 1957, '95 WS teams in Dream Bracket 2 By Mark Bowman ATLANTA -- The Braves’ two most recent World Series-winning teams will represent the organization in MLB Dream Bracket 2: Dream Seasons, which begins on Thursday. Major League Baseball, in conjunction with the makers of Out of the Park Baseball 21, have created this best-of-seven series simulation tournament, which includes some of the most successful clubs in each franchise’s history. Hank Aaron and Eddie Mathews will match up against Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling when the 1957 Milwaukee Braves meet the 2001 D-backs in the first round of the National League’s Region 1. As you may remember, this is the same Arizona squad that needed just five games to eliminate Atlanta from the ‘01 NL Championship Series. Chipper Jones and Atlanta’s Cy Young Award-winning trio of Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and John Smoltz will battle Ryan Braun and Zack Greinke when the 1995 Braves face off against the 2011 Brewers in the other first-round matchup in the NL’s Region 2. Twenty-five years later, this remains the only Braves team to win a World Series since the franchise moved from Milwaukee to Atlanta in 1966. Aaron, Mathews, Red Schoendienst and Warren Spahn were the Hall of Famers that highlighted the 1957 Braves roster. Aaron hit 44 homers and won his only NL Most Valuable Player Award at the end of this memorable season. Spahn also won his only Cy Young Award that year.

Sports and the Rhetorical Construction of the Citizen-Consumer
THE SPORTS MALL OF AMERICA: SPORTS AND THE RHETORICAL CONSTRUCTION OF THE CITIZEN-CONSUMER Cory Hillman A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2012 Committee: Dr. Michael Butterworth, Advisor Dr. David Tobar Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Clayton Rosati Dr. Joshua Atkinson © 2010 Cory Hillman All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Michael Butterworth, Advisor The purpose of this dissertation was to investigate from a rhetorical perspective how contemporary sports both reflect and influence a preferred definition of democracy that has been narrowly conflated with consumption in the cultural imaginary. I argue that the relationship between fans and sports has become mediated by rituals of consumption in order to affirm a particular identity, similar to the ways that citizenship in America has become defined by one’s ability to consume under conditions of neoliberal capitalism. In this study, I examine how new sports stadiums are architecturally designed to attract upper income fans through the mobilization of spectacle and surveillance-based strategies such as Fan Code of Conducts. I also investigate the “sports gaming culture” that addresses advertising in sports video games and fantasy sports participation that both reinforce the burgeoning commercialism of sports while normalizing capitalism’s worldview. I also explore the area of licensed merchandise which is often used to seduce fans into consuming the sports brand by speaking the terms of consumer capitalism often naturalized in fan’s expectations in their engagement with sports. Finally, I address potential strategies of resistance that rely on a reassessment of the value of sports in American culture, predicated upon restoring citizens’ faith in public institutions that would simultaneously reclaim control of the sporting landscape from commercial entities exploiting them for profit.

List of New York's Baseball Sites
LIST OF NEW YORK’S BASEBALL SITES Major League Stadiums and related sites The New York metropolitan area is the scene of some of the most legendary events and home of the greatest figures in baseball history. From the first recorded baseball game at Elysian Fields in 1846, New York has been the “Capitol of Baseball” for 171 years. New York’s baseball history is written in many places – legendary stadiums, distinctive hotels, ordinary homes. Some of these sites are well-marked and internationally- known – others are marked with small plaques, tiny reminders, or even nothing at all. But every one of these sites listed played a major role in the history of baseball, is worth a visit, and deserves to be known and remembered. Enjoy! 1. Yankee Stadium (161st Street and River Avenue, The Bronx) Accessible by the No. 4, D, and B trains from Manhattan. The new Yankee Stadium, opened in April 2009. Costing $2.3 billion, it stands one block north of the original, on the 24-acre former site of Macombs Dam Park, and incorporates reproductions of many features from the original Yankee Stadium across the street, including the frieze, the Indiana limestone exterior, hand-operated scoreboards, the section numbering, and the unusually-shaped outfield dimensions. New features include a museum of Yankee history that displays Thurman Munson’s locker, a Great Hall on 161st Street, and an accessible Monument Park. Home plate was brought from the original Stadium, and Yankee relief pitcher and future Hall of Famer requested that the team reposition the home bullpen and provide it with a door to link it with Monument Park.
