ROY STOCKTON PRING TRAINING serves many purposes for the great American S game and business of baseball. The primary objective, of course, is to get the players into the best possible physical condi- tion for the arduous, 154-game pennant races during which the championships of the two major leagues are decided. During this conditioning process young players and others who may have been obtained in trades are inspected and tested in practice sessions, squad games, and exhibition contests. During the off-season each major league club is permitted to carry a maximum of 40 players on its roster. There are modifica- tions to this rule. For instance, returning service men may be carried for a specific period without counting as members of the 40-man squad.

  • History of Barbershop
    HISTORY OF BARBERSHOP By David Krause and David Wright Definition of barbershop harmony. Read: Definition of Barbershop Harmony, from the Forward of the Contest and Judging Handbook. The Purpose Of This Course. We will attempt to trace the roots and the evolution of barbershop harmony from well before its actual beginnings up to the present. We will try to answer these questions: What were the tides of history which spawned the birth of the barbershop quartet, and what environment allowed this style of music to flourish? What were its musical forerunners? What are its defining characteristics? What other types of music were fostered contemporaneously, and how did they influence the growth of quartet singing? Which styles are similar, and how are they similar? How did the term "barbershop" arise? How long did the historical era of the barbershop quartet last? What other kinds of music sprang forth from it? Why did the style eventually need preservation? How was SPEBSQSA formed, and how did it become a national movement? What other organizations have joined the cause? How have they coped with the task of preservation? Are current day efforts still on course in preserving the style? How has the style changed since the Society was formed? We will spend the next few hours contemplating and attempting to answer these questions. Overtones. As barbershoppers, we are very conscious of the "ringing" effect which complements our singing. We consider it our reward for singing well- defined pitches in tune. The fact that a tone produced by a voice or an instrument is accompanied by a whole series of pitches in addition to the fundamental one which our ear most easily detects has been known for centuries.

    Outside the Lines Vol. II, No. 3 SABR Business of Baseball Committee Newsletter Summer 1996 Copyright © 1996 Society for American Baseball Research Editor: Doug Pappas, 100 E. Hartsdale Ave., #6EE, Hartsdale, NY 10530-3244, 914-472-7954. E-mail: [email protected] or [email protected]. Annual Meeting Report The Business of Baseball Committee held its second annual meeting at SABR 26 in Kansas City. Our thoughtful hosts scheduled the meeting for 7:30 AM Friday, June 7 -- opposite the trivia preliminaries and three research presentations, and before many attendees had even registered. I know most fans wish the economic and labor issues would just go away, but this is ridiculous... Nonetheless the meeting attracted a large, enthusiastic group of SABRites, including about a dozen new Committee members. Andy McCue wanted to know if the newsletter would run more historical articles; Jerry Wachs thought the newsletter too sympathetic to the Players’ Association on labor issues. Andy should enjoy pp. 2-6, while Jerry should turn to pp. 6-7. “Give the readers what they want,” I say... Labor Peace At Last? As this issue went to press, the players and owners had agreed on virtually all details of a new labor agreement except the players’ entitlement to service credit for the period of the strike. The players received service time in past strikes, but a small group of hard-line owners, led of course by Jerry Reinsdorf, would prefer to blow apart the entire settlement rather than yield on the issue. Acting Commissioner for Life Selig is believed to have the 21 votes necessary to approve the agreement, but one should never under-estimate the owners’ capacity for self-destructive behavior.

  • Article Title
    General Admission Ten-Man Baseball by S. Derby Gisclair Member, Society for American Baseball Research During major league baseball’s winter meetings in Chicago in December of 1928, a brash new proposal was introduced to the assembled owners, managers and other baseball executives by the president of the National League, John Heydler, a man generally unknown today. John Heydler was born on July 10, 1869 in La Fargeville, NY. He started working as a printer's apprentice at a Rochester, NY newspaper at the age of fourteen. When he was not working he devoted most of his time to sandlot baseball. Heydler would later land a job in Washington, DC as a government printer. There he also umpired college and semi-pro games. Heydler would go on to find work as a sportswriter, covering the sport he loved. In 1898 he got his first job with the National League as an umpire. After just one year he quit to return to sports writing. While working at various papers, Heydler proposed the idea of tabulating league leaders, and selling them to newspapers to use. In 1903 Heydler was hired as the private secretary to National League president Harry Pulliam, principally working to compile league statistics. Heydler's work caused him to record much of the league's early history, and he became an advocate of introducing new ways to measure player accomplishments. He was a strong supporter of recording runs batted in for batters, and began computing earned run averages for pitchers. On becoming the National League's secretary-treasurer from 1907-1918, he served as the league president briefly after Pulliam's suicide in 1909.
