    I ¡Qt>. 565 MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL PRINCIPAL PLAY-BY-PLAY ANNOUNCERS: THEIR OCCUPATION, BACKGROUND, AND PERSONAL LIFE Michael R. Emrick A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY June 1976 Approved by Doctoral Committee DUm,s¡ir<y »»itti». UNIVERSITY LIBRARY 11 ABSTRACT From the very early days of radio broadcasting, the descriptions of major league baseball games have been among the more popular types of programs. The relationship between the ball clubs and broadcast stations has developed through experimentation, skepticism, and eventual acceptance. The broadcasts have become financially important to the teams as well as the advertisers and stations. The central person responsible for pleasing the fans as well as satisfying the economic goals of the stations, advertisers, and teams—the principal play- by-play announcer—had not been the subject of intensive study. Contentions were made in the available literature about his objectivity, partiality, and the influence exerted on his description of the games by outside parties. To test these contentions, and to learn more about the overall atmosphere in which this focal person worked, a study was conducted of principal play-by-play announcers who broadcasted games on a day-to-day basis, covering one team for a local audience. With the assistance of some of the announcers, a survey was prepared and distributed to both announcers who were employed in the play-by-play capacity during the 1975 season and those who had been involved in the occupation in past seasons.

  • Beyond the Law: Stephen Schwartz
    Beyond The Law: Stephen Schwartz Interview and photos by Daniel J. Murphy oward Cosell, the acclaimed broadcaster, once remarked, H “Sports is human life in microcosm.” Certainly included within this description are the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. However, some of the more subtle attributes of sports also should not be overlooked. In addition to its enduring entertainment value, sporting events also serve as a kind of cultural currency that allows people of all generations to connect and share. Stephen Schwartz brings this notion to life. Faithfully providing commentary on local public access television, Schwartz’s interest in broadcasting originated from his time as a spectator of the games of his children. Aiming to capture local sporting events for posterity, he also has been able to create an outlet for showcasing local talent, while entertaining viewers with his capable play-by-play commen- tary. Schwartz, who otherwise maintains a law practice at Schwartz & Schwartz, P.A. in Portland, sat down with the Maine Bar Journal to discuss his interest. MBJ: Please tell our readers about your interest in broadcasting youth sports events. SS: I was a double major at University of Maine in Political Science and Broadcasting. I did some broadcasting for a news station up at Orono and acted as a stringer periodically for another station, such as on a boxing match. So the interest has been there for some time. However, my work with youth sports started when I was going to my kids’ games. Parents of older kids would tape the games and Channel 3, WPPS, would play the games on public access tele- vision.
