  • Perez Receives Four-Year Extension Contract Worth $9 Million
    Perez receives four-year extension Contract worth $9 million guaranteed, $21.5 million if club options picked up By Jordan Bastian / MLB.com | @MLBastian | April 2nd, 2017 ARLINGTON, Texas -- Roberto Perez is technically a backup catcher, but the Indians do not believe that label does him justice. Cleveland believes it has a pair of catchers capable of starting and values having a tandem that has earned the trust of the team's talented pitching staff. On Sunday, the Indians put their belief in Perez on display, signing the catcher to a four-year, $9 million extension that includes team options for 2021 and '22. Perez's contract has a maximum potential value of $21.5 million if the Tribe picks up the options. "At some point in his career," manager Terry Francona said, "and I don't know when that's going to be, but he'll be an everyday catcher. I think him signing kind of shows the respect that the organization has for him." Perez will begin this season as the backup to Yan Gomes, who signed a six-year extension with the Indians prior to the 2014 campaign. Both Gomes and Perez are locked in through 2019, and Cleveland has club options for its starting catcher for the '20 and '21 seasons. Francona has noted that Perez will play more than a typical backup. "I always tell Yan, it's kind of like a friendly competition," Perez said. "The good part is we have a great relationship. We try to help each other out as much as we can.

Whittington 2011 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT John McGraw’s New York Giants were the premier team of the Deadball Era, which stretched from 1900-1919. Led by McGraw and his ace pitcher, Christy Mathewson, the Giants epitomized the Deadball Era with their strong pitching and hard-nosed style of play. In 1919 however, The New York Times and The Sporting News chronicled a surge in the number of home runs that would continue through the 1920s until the entire sport embraced a new era of baseball.

ESSAY The Great Gatsby, the Black Sox, High Finance, and American Law Allen Boyer* The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, is the great novel of America in the 1920s. It is about someone pursuing a girl, and, more than that, it is about someone pursuing a dream. Jay Gatsby is some­ one who believes in the American dream of success. His life plays out the most famous piece of repartee between Fitzgerald and Hemingway - that the rich are very different from you and me, because they have more money. Gatsby is a man who thought that if he had the money, he would be rich, and could therefore be different. After reading Gatsby, one remembers the parties which its hero threw: dusk-to-dawn galas peopled by financiers, Broadway stars, and the polo-playing aristocracy.

  • Ballparks As America: the Fan Experience at Major League Baseball Parks in the Twentieth Century
    BALLPARKS AS AMERICA: THE FAN EXPERIENCE AT MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL PARKS IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Seth S. Tannenbaum May 2019 Examining Committee Members: Bryant Simon, Advisory Chair, Department of History Petra Goedde, Department of History Rebecca Alpert, Department of Religion Steven A. Riess, External Member, Department of History, Northeastern Illinois University © Copyright 2019 by Seth S. Tannenbaum All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT This dissertation is a history of the change in form and location of ballparks that explains why that change happened, when it did, and what this tells us about broader society, about hopes and fears, and about tastes and prejudices. It uses case studies of five important and trend-setting ballparks to understand what it meant to go to a major league game in the twentieth century. I examine the Polo Grounds and Yankee Stadium in the first half of the twentieth century, what I call the classic ballpark era, Dodger Stadium and the Astrodome from the 1950s through the 1980s, what I call the multi-use ballpark era, and Camden Yards in the retro-chic ballpark era—the 1990s and beyond. I treat baseball as a reflection of larger American culture that sometimes also shaped that culture. I argue that baseball games were a purportedly inclusive space that was actually exclusive and divided, but that the exclusion and division was masked by rhetoric about the game and the relative lack of explicit policies barring anyone.

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.
