It scored 550 points to opponents' nothing, and journeyed 3500 miles. We played Stanford on New Year's day, using no substitutes. On this great team were Neil Snow, and the remarkable quarterback Boss Weeks. Willie Heston, who [Pg 370]was playing his first year at Michigan, was another star on this team. A picture of Michigan's great team appears on the opposite page. "Boss Weeks' two teams scored more than 1200 points. If that team had been in front of the Chinese Wall and got the signal to go, not a man would have hesitated. Every man that played under Boss Weeks idolized him, and when word was brought to the university that he had died, every Michigan man felt that its university had lost one of its greatest men.

  • A Schott from the Bleachers
    A Schott From The Bleachers Yankees Played in New Orleans Before New York by Arthur O. Schott Member, Society for American Baseball Research The American League was organized and completed its first season in 1901. The eight original clubs were (in alphabetical order): Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, and Washington. In 1902, St. Louis replaced Milwaukee, and in 1903, the New York Highlanders (later to become the Yankees) took over the Baltimore franchise. The league then kept the same eight clubs for 51 years until Baltimore returned to the league replacing the St. Louis Browns in 1954. After playing the first five games of the 1903 exhibition season at Atlanta (then in the Southern Association), the New York club visited New Orleans and played a five-game series against the old Pelicans. All five games were played at Athletic Park. The Highlanders won the series, three games to two. The first game of the series, played on April 8, 1903, was of special historical interest. The New York club, in the days before opening its inaugural season in the American League, played before a crowd of 1,200 New Orleans fans three weeks before they ever played a game in New York. The Highlanders’ home opening game was played three weeks later on April 30, 1903, a New York victory over Washington. The exhibition game in New Orleans on April 8th was well played through 7 innings, with the score tied 2 – 2. A total of six errors by the Pels made things easy for the Highlanders, who coasted to an 8 – 2 victory.

    BASEBALL PLAYERS, OWNERS, UNIONS, AND TRUSTS: THE ROOTS AND RISE OF THE MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL PLAYERS ASSOCIATION Ross E. Davies, George Mason University School of Law NYU Journal of Legislation & Public Policy, Forthcoming George Mason University Law and Economics Research Paper Series 13-10 ROUGH DRAFT -- comments welcome -- [email protected] BASEBALL PLAYERS, OWNERS, UNIONS, AND TRUSTS THE ROOTS AND RISE OF THE MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL PLAYERS ASSOCIATION Ross E. Davies† On April 24, 2012, Marvin Miller delivered a speech at New York University in which he reflected at length on the history of the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) and his role in the develop- ment of the labor union he led from 1966 to 1983. This article is an introduction in two parts to that speech and the panel discussion that followed it. Part I is a chronology of highlights of labor-management relations in major league baseball. Part II draws an inference or two about the MLBPA from events on that timeline. It is not the entire story of organized labor in major-league baseball, or even of Miller and the union he led. But it is enough, I hope, to put his recollections and the subsequent discussion in mature perspective. PART I: TIMELINE OF BASEBALL’S LABOR-MANAGEMENT HISTORY The history of labor-management relations in major-league baseball is very long, often complicated or ob- scure (in part because the documentary record is incomplete), and occasionally exciting. There is enough of it to fill volumes. It has. And some of them are very good, including Charles Korr’s The End of Baseball as We Knew It (2002), Lee Lowenfish’s The Imperfect Diamond (1980, 2010), Marvin Miller’s A Whole Different Ball Game (1991, 2004), and Brad Snyder’s A Well-Paid Slave (2006).
