And mix in key strikeouts, including Javy Baez’s whiff on a high Cody Allen fastball for the final out, and the result was the second shutout thrown by the Cleveland Indians against the Cubs in three 2016 World Series games. The Indians got a form of hoodoo, or mojo, or something dropped from the sky with their pitching staff. They have shut down the offensively robust Boston Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays. Now they are working on the Cubs, and they throttled their hosts 1-0 in the first World Series game at Wrigley Field since Oct. 10, 1945.

The outblowing flow was described as “brisk,” fitting for a vintage 1970s Cubs-Phillies- Mike Schmidt slugfest ending in a football-sized score. Yet the pitching tag team of Josh Tomlin, Andrew Miller, Bryan Shaw and closer Allen kept the Cubs well-grounded when they weren’t executing a clutch K.

    Journal of Religion & Society

    Journal of Religion & Society Volume 7 (2005) ISSN 1522-5658 The Bartman Ball and Sacrifice Ambiguity in an American Ritual Jeffrey Scholes, University of Denver/Iliff School of Theology Abstract Although the power of rituals to provide societal meaning and structure has been on the decline for sometime in the U.S., on February 26, 2004 at a popular Chicago restaurant, an infamous baseball was ceremoniously destroyed in the fashion of a classic sacrifice ritual. Lacking the kind of surrounding society that traditionally produces such rituals, this event seems anomalous. Yet, I will argue, with the aid of certain ritual sacrifice theories, that this event performed a classic sacrificial function – that of reestablishing the proper relationship between the Cubs' fans and its players – and thus is continuous with certain sacrifice rituals of pre-modern societies. At the same time, an underlying intention of those staging the ritual, to receive publicity for their restaurant, served to circumscribe the power of the ritual thus impressing a “modern” stamp on it thereby distinguishing this sacrifice from its predecessors. Introduction [1] A quick glance at the literature in ritual studies over the last century provides one with the undeniable impression of an overwhelming focus on non-Western, traditional cultures. Societies operating under a fully integrated cosmology that binds the community to a deity and to one another have tended to generate vivid rituals that help to maintain social cohesion, hence the focus. Therefore, the neglect of ritual analysis of post-industrialized societies can be attributed, in part, to a lack of conspicuous rituals such as initiation rites and sacrifices.
  • 70 Cubs Lead Roster of Near-Misses

    70 Cubs Lead Roster of Near-Misses

    ’64 Sox, ’70 Cubs lead roster of near-misses By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Saturday, July 23, 2016 Pete Ward (far left) could have been complemented by any one of (from left) Johnny Callison, Norm Cash and Don Mincher to win the 1964 pennant for the Sox. But the latter three had been traded away in deals that killed the Sox. The Cubs are more likely than not playoff-bound, unless a late-season Cardinals surge totally shocks them and puts past collapses to shame. The White Sox are among the game’s disappointments, frittering away a 23-10 start and dropping far out of the wild-card race before the July 31 trade deadline. So fans of both teams can gear themselves mentally for different viewpoints in the last third of the 2016. Happiness on the North Side, abject discontent on the South Side. At least the rooters know where they stand. But when their teams appear locked and loaded to win, and just missed the postseason, many of the fans needed counseling. The sense of disappointment, even betrayal, was keen. Popular belief states the 1967 Sox and 1969 Cubs are the top near-misses in history. But both teams merely generated the most publicity in the spotlight. www.ChicagoBaseballMuseum.org [email protected] We’ll pick out two representatives from the post-World War II era that led the pack in disappointment. The 1964 Sox won 98 games, yet finished second in the then 10-team American League. Meanwhile, by a Bill James measuring stick, the 1970 Cubs should have won 94 games and won the NL East by five games.
