James Committee Member The Graduate School has verified and approved the above-named committee members, and certifies that the dissertation has been approved in accordance with university requirements. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS It is difficult for me to write this portion of the dissertation because I find myself struggling with the idea of definitively knowing when this journey began. In this struggle, I have come to understand that this project is so important to me specifically because, in some way, my whole life and those around me have been providing pathways for me to strive for solving injustices. Throughout my entire life, I have been a privileged individual receiving much more love and support than I or indeed any human deserves. Along my journey towards this magnum opus before you, I have encountered many individuals that have helped me grow and I feel the heavy burden of assuring each one of them of their special place within, not only steering me towards the consummation of my many years in education, but in my heart and my life. Although I typically like to build towards the most influential people, there is no better or appropriate place to start than with my parents. My father, Jack, and mother, Marcia, have no doubt been the biggest influences on my life. All the credit in the world goes to my grandparents Fred and Sharon Muller for raising my mother and being tremendous examples for my father. My parents have loved me unconditionally, especially in times that I probably did not deserve their support. As a sportscaster, my dad balanced a busy work load and home life while making me feel that he was always around. He made sure I went with him to football, baseball, and basketball games, or that I was able to come up to the television station with him to watch Los Angeles Kings games in the Spanish direct feed. While my dad satiated my appetite for sports my mom made sure that I knew how privileged I was. She always took my sister and me with her on Mondays and Fridays to work with single mothers and poor families at an organization called Birthright. There, I learned what it means to be without, which is not the same as my choosing to live without a luxury. The people my mom spent twenty years working with had to make difficult decisions about living with or without human necessities like winter coats or central heat and air. We also would spend countless hours working with Catholic Charities, Special Olympics, and mentoring physically and mentally disabled students. Through these experiences, I gained an understanding for how fortunate I am, a desire to help those in need, and an appreciation for what it means to be in need. As my mom always said, many of the people I encountered may not have been rich, but so many were rich in love and gave of their possessions and time for their fellow human being. She reminded us of what Mother Teresa taught: iii At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done. We will be judged by I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was naked and you clothed me. I was homeless, and you took me in. These experiences helped me conceptualize what it means to be in need and who is really poor. Although, I must say that they did a much better job with my sister Monica, who inspires me daily with her dedication to her husband and children, they worked hard with me as well. My parents were fortunate enough to be able to raise my sister and me in a suburb of Tulsa where we were surrounded by people who cared for us. The people in the community of Owasso helped raise me as if I was one of their own. Mrs. Beams, Coach Hightower, Coach Parker, Coach Nantois, Coach Huggins, and Coach Rose all pushed me to be the best that I could be constantly keeping on me to be better; telling me I could make an impact on the world. They, along with my close friends, Drew Edmiston, Dallas Trahern, Zac Thompson, Chad Gill, Andrew Davis, Patrick Easterling, Kevin Thulin, Tom Persico, Christina Clayton, and Micah Summers, helped me in times of happiness and despair. Although I have often been overwhelmed by a fear of not living up to their expectations, those individuals taught me valuable lessons along the way that helped me as I endeavored to The University of Oklahoma for college. While at Oklahoma I was able to work under some great men in the equipment room. I can never thank Greg Tipton enough for giving me the opportunity to work for the football team; Dave Littlejohn for being the best equipment truck driver in the world and a great friend; and Brad Camp for teaching me what hard work really looks like. I also gained a lot of brothers and friends that will stay with me forever. Kyle Waid, Ryan Pitts, Adam Whitworth, Spencer Hunt, Heath Flowers, Shannon Begnal, Tyler Gray, Blake Kuenzi, Hillary Pitts, April Williams, Paul Buzzard, and Freddie Lovett helped shape my life in ways I never imagined. I must also thank Tiffany Welker for always providing me with entertainment and listening to my complaints when I needed someone to listen. All of these individuals were instrumental in pushing me towards graduate school where my four year partner in crime riding the equipment truck to road football games, Colonel Randy Garibay, hired me to work for him as a graduate assistant in athletic academics. I cannot thank Colonel Garibay enough for the influence he has had in my life. He was always tough, but he loves me even though I do not deserve his unconditional favoritism. iv Because of his misguided belief in me, I was able to learn from Dr. David Tan, Dr. Vicki Williams, Dr. Irene Karpiak, Dr. Juanita Vargas, and Dr. Gerald Gurney. I was also able to work with and become dear friends with Mark Berkowick, JJ Wood, Mike Smith, Brent Upham, Kevin Bost, Christie Smeal, G.K. Nwosu, Greg Wagner, and many others. Most importantly, however, I met my best friend who would become my wife, Natalie Swisher. I am not sure that there will ever be words to express my love and appreciation for Natalie. She, more than anything else I will ever accomplish, own, or cherish is my true happiness. Although she was not too keen on moving to Florida, she did so with no complaints – for the most part. Natalie believed in me and loved me without ever questioning why. She put her life in my hands and I cannot quite comprehend what that means – it is unexplainable. I am a better person because of her and I am forever indebted to her for providing me with a happiness I would never have imagined possible. Natalie and our two dog children, Fury and Oliver, make every moment of my life exciting and meaningful. Further, Natalie’s parents Thane and Jill as well as her siblings Alex and Megan have welcomed me into their family with open arms and for that, I am eternally grateful. I would not have made it through this program without their support. I also would not have ever been here in the first place without the blind faith of the great people in the sport management program at Florida State. I am eternally indebted to Dr. Y.K. Kim and Dr. Andrew Rudd who thought enough of me to admit me. Additionally, I wish to thank Dr. Jeffrey James without whom I would not have come to Florida State University and who has become a tremendous mentor despite his extremely busy schedule as department chair. I would also like to thank my outside committee member, Dr. Jennifer Proffitt, for her invaluable contributions to my growth as a scholar at Florida State University as well as her willingness to include me in various activities in the Department of Communications. I would be remiss if I did not thank the endless number of PhD students who have become great friends and have helped me exponentially throughout my stay: Justin Lovich, Jordan Bass, John Fletcher, Jun Woo Kim, Hyun Woo Lee, Lucy Lee, Katie Flanagan, Tim Kellison, Don Farr, Rhonda Ottley, Mar Magnusen, Dusko Bogdanov, Mike Naylor, Young Do Kim, Tom McMorrow, Mark Howard, Mark DiDonato, Yoon Tae Sung, Marlon McPhatter, Minjung Kim, Cole Armstrong, Rachel Shields, Eric George, Liz Delia, Chris McLeod, and Simon Brandon-Lai. Finally to end my extremely long acknowledgement section that I do not apologize for, my deepest, sincerest thanks goes to Dr. Josh Newman and my advisor Dr. Michael Giardina.

UPDATE On January 4, 2005, team owner Arte Moreno announced that the team would change its name to "The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim." Moreno believes that the name change will allow the team to tap into a larger marketing area in the greater Los Angeles community. Commissioner Bug Selig has approved the name change, but there are pending lawsuits by the city to enjoin the team, requiring the name to remain "The Anaheim Angels." The city sued arguing that the lease precludes the change, while the team argues that by leaving "Anaheim" in the name, the change satisfies the terms of the lease. NAMING RIGHTS In early 2004 Edison International exercised their option to terminate their 20-year, $50 million naming rights agreement with the Anaheim Angels.

Through my research I have found that both entities follow a very similar timeline with highs and lows coming around the same time in the same province; although, I have not found any direct linkage between the two. My analysis begins around 1837 and continues through present day, and by analyzing the histories of each movement demonstrates clearly that both movements followed a unique and similar timeline.

Baseball in Canada SAMUEL R. HILL* INTRODUCTION Baseball scholars and historians have long accepted that Abner Doubleday did not invent baseball in Cooperstown, New York in 1839.' Doubleday's baseball legend survives, however, as part of baseball folklore; Americans would likely deride the suggestion that a foreign country created baseball. Yet, Canadians recorded a "baseball" game played in 1838 in Beachville, Ontario.' Does the Canadian record debunk the Doubleday baseball legend? The answer, in all likelihood, is no. The modem-day game of baseball most resembles the form of baseball developed in New York in the early nineteenth century.' Canadian baseball, however, developed on a parallel and often intertwined path with that of its American counterpart, and played an instrumental role in shaping baseball as we know it today.

In addition, the Stadium District issued $15 million in bonds that are being paid off with stadium- generated revenue. The remainder was paid through private financing, including a naming-rights deal worth $66 million over thirty years and the Diamondbacks’ investment of $85 million. In 2007, the Maricopa County Stadium District paid off the remaining balance of $15 million on its portion of Chase Field. The payment erased the final debt for the stadium nineteen years earlier than expected. Facility Website Twitter: @MariCo_StadDist UPDATE: In January 2017, the Diamondbacks filed suit against the Maricopa County Stadium District claiming the District had failed to make the necessary capital repairs and improvements to the ballpark.
