Forty-six years at an institution leads to such character- izations. Joe joined the SMU law faculty in 1955, when I was seven years old, and he has been here ever since, contributing mightily to the legal education of most living SMU law graduates. I personally have had the good fortune to be Joe's colleague and friend for the last 21, years but I have to say that I have always been in awe of Joe because of his accomplishments and stature in both the academic and practicing legal communities. This was particularly so when I was named the law school's dean and was thus to administer to a faculty which included the likes of Joe McKnight, Alan Bromberg and Bill Dorsaneo.

  • Sample Chapter: Cy Is Perfect
    EIGHT CY IS PERFECT Nothing like swinging an ax or working the crosscut saw on trees to keep in condition during the winter. —Cy Young (Cy Young files, National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum) y came back home, this time to Peoli, a small village next to CGilmore where he and Bobby had bought their own farm, a large one of 160 acres. With his World Series check, Cy had a lot of money to invest in the farm and plenty left over. It surely was a happy time for Mr. and Mrs. Young, as Cy was still the best pitcher in baseball and had earned a good living for many years. Everywhere he went, people rec- ognized him and wanted to shake his hand. There were few places Cy could go without someone yelling, “That’s Cy Young!” While Cy was home in Peoli, a Cleveland newspaper published an article on why he had been able to have such a long baseball career and such a happy life: “He is a gentleman. He is never guilty of rowdyism. He hasn’t found it necessary to accumulate a stock of bad habits in order to have a good time.”1 The story mentioned that Cy never drank 82 much alcohol and made sure that he lived a clean, healthy life. Sports- writers and baseball fans thought highly of him, both on and off the field. The calendar soon turned to February, and that meant another trip to Hot Springs, Arkansas. Cy was starting his fifteenth year of major league baseball, an amazing feat for any player.

  • Constructing Baseball: Boston and the First World Series
    CONSTRUCTING BASEBALL: BOSTON AND THE FIRST WORLD SERIES Roger L Abrams* Societal cohesiveness is a condition precedent to the legitimacy of legal rules. Shared norms of behavior are learned characteristics. Perhaps in some small measure, the shared experience of baseball among millions of immigrants facilitated the emergence of a consensus within society that supported a common set of understandings. Even if it did not, it was still a "swell time" for those Americans-new and old-who witnessed the first World Series, a vital step in constructing the National Pastime. INTRODUCTION The 1903 World Series marked the first post-season tournament between the pennant winners of the National and American Leagues of baseball. After two years of bitter commercial warfare and a peace treaty signed before the 1903 season, the two major circuits of baseball clubs were ready for combat once again, this time on the field and not in the board offices. At the time, no one appreciated that this post-season event would be repeated annually-with but two interruptions- for a century. Outside of the cities of the two competitors, Boston and Pittsburgh, few took much notice. However, in those cities baseball fanatics were enthralled by the spectacle. The newspapers devoted banner headlines and multiple columns of print to the unfolding events on the diamond. They also focused on the crowds of spectators. Political, civic and business leaders * Dean and Richardson Professor of Law, Northeastern University School of Law. This paper is an excerpt from a work in progress, THE FIRST WORLD SERIES AND THE BASEBALL FANATICS OF 1903, to be published by Northeastern University Press in 2003.

  • The Cleveland Indians and Chief Wahoo
    Southern New Hampshire University Louis Sockalexis and the Right to Use Native American Imagery in Sports The Cleveland Indians and Chief Wahoo A Capstone Project Submitted to the College of Online and Continuing Education in Partial Fulfillment of the Master of Arts in History By Victoria Smith Strongsville, Ohio April 2018 Copyright © 2018 by Victoria Smith All Rights Reserved ii Student: Victoria Smith I certify that this student has met the requirements for formatting the capstone project and that this project is suitable for preservation in the University Archive. May 7, 2018 __________________________________________ _______________ Southern New Hampshire University Date College of Online and Continuing Education iii Abstract Native American imagery has been used for mascots, logos, and team names for almost two centuries. Many teams state that this is honoring the history of the Native American. Teams have utilized Native American Athletes for the reasoning behind their team name and logo. However, this imagery is often times raciest and contributes in offensive and historically inaccurate betrayals of Native Americans to be formed. The honoring of Native Americans continues to go on especially in the world of athletics, in local school districts, colleges/universities, and professional teams. This usage of Native American imagery helps to maintain the cultural and historical aspects of these important peoples. Throughout the research many sources have been located and utilized. Local newspaper articles and other local references have been an important contribution. Over the past several decades, research has been completed in regards to Native American imagery being used for sports teams. This research has helped to support the thesis of the following paper.

    To My Fellow Hobbyists, Happy New Year and welcome to our first of six auctions of 2012. We are continually humbled by the tremendous consignments that are bestowed upon us each auction, and would like to extend our sincere thanks to all of our consignors and bidders. In this auction, we are pleased to present 965 quality lots of cards and collectibles, including a couple of Michael Jordan game-used jerseys and two of the most stunning tobacco card collages we've ever seen, among many other wonderful pieces. Going forward, our auctions will end near the end of every odd month, with the consignment deadlines roughly the middle of every even month. If you would like to become one of our consignors, please feel free to contact our main office. Our dedicated team has once again outdone itself, assembling this fantastic group of rare, unusual, and even one-of-a-kind items. Dave Stoddard has added even more new features to keep our site simple and user-friend- ly while incorporating new and useful ideas. James Feagin, Mark Raines, Kevin Heffner, Ricky Huggins and our newest addition, Steve Chiaravallotti, have carefully described all the items. Ricky has begun to fit in nice- ly, handling the multitude of tasks we have given him. We also need to thank Ryan Raymond (Ricky's room- mate from college), who has joined our staff. Matt Flores has captured the images. Randy Curtis has done a fantastic job working with our consignors to create some unique and interesting lots. Jamey Austin has swept the catalog for #@%#”s, while Josh Wulkan has given Mike and Sally Henry the “canvas and paint” they need to create another masterpiece.

Hartsdale Ave., #6EE, Hartsdale, NY 10530-3244, 914-472-7954. E-mail: [email protected] Chairman’s Note New Vice-Chair, and More Writers, Needed. Vice Chair Claudia Perry is stepping down. Any Committee member interested in filling the position should get in touch with me at the address above. Preference will be given to those willing to write for the newsletter on a regular basis, particularly about historic matters. As Andy McCue said in reviewing the Committee for the SABR Board: My only complaint is that the committee is too much a creature of the chair. His work is excellent, but touches on only a portion of the issues which this committee could be working on. In addition, if job or other considerations should cause him to cut back on his activities, or have to resign the chairmanship, this committee would flounder. I would like to see him find a way to introduce other projects under the committee umbrella. There are possibilities for cooperation with the 19th Century Committee (salaries and expenses then), Ballparks (the financing of stadiums past and present) and other committees. A project such as tracing the history (and expansion) of front-office functions from the National Association to the present would be very worthwhile. Unfortunately, as all SABR committee chairs learn, the number and quality of projects is in direct relationship to the number, quality and commitment of the volunteers who come forward.
