I told him it was a ‘great honor just to be asked.’ I can’t wait to represent the country. It’s very cool.” The 28-year-old, right-handed relief pitcher will be the lone Padre on Team USA and one of three major league Padres playing in the WBC. Outfielder Chris Denorfia is scheduled to play for Italy and right-handed starter Edinson Volquez will be playing for The Dominican Republic. Gregerson said being selected for Team USA won’t change his preseason throwing program. “I’ll easy into it and maybe let it go a little bit more in my second or third spring training outing with the Padres before reporting to Team USA.” Gregerson was 2-0 with career-bests of nine saves and a 2.39 earned run average in 77 appearances with the Padres last season. He had 72 strikeouts while allowing only 57 hits in 71 2/3 innings.

  • Taking Umpiring Seriously: How Philosophy Can Help Umpires Make the Right Calls
    BOTTOM OF THE THIRD 6 Taking Umpiring Seriously: How Philosophy Can Help Umpires Make the Right Calls J.S. RUSSELL When I’m right no one remembers. When I’m wrong no one forgets. —Umpire DOUG HARVEY There’s an old baseball joke that tells a lot about why umpires find themselves in this unhappy position. The Devil challenges God to a baseball game between the residents of heaven and hell. Puzzled, God asks the Devil: “Why would you want to play me at baseball? I have all the greatest players at my disposal.” “I know,” responds the Devil, “But I have all the umpires.” Jokes like this one, and remarks like umpire Harvey’s, readily attest that baseball umpires lay sad claim to being the most under- appreciated and disrespected participants in sport. Indeed, any- one who has ever spent time in the stands watching ballgames has seen the contempt that is freely heaped on umpires: the boos and catcalls, the kicked up dirt, close up views of oral hygiene, and even at times common assaults. All this merely recaps what everyone already knows: umpires deserve better. But there is another less obvious, though just as compelling, reason for treating umpires with more serious respect. What umpires do is philosophically fascinating. This is a novel concept for the sporting public or, indeed, for umpires themselves, since they are not usually trained philosophers. But as we shall see, a philosophical treatment of umpiring is no mere academic exercise. It can have important practical impli- 87 88 J.S. Russell cations for determining what umpires actually do on the field.

INTRODUCTION A little over twenty years ago, I wrote a couple of articles that I thought would outline and begin a jurisprudence of sport.1 That was probably too ambitious a goal, but that there should be a jurisprudence of sport that deserved scholarly attention seemed as obvious to me then as it does today, for sport embodies the main elements of a legal system.

  • Bill Werber and the First Televised Game
    Bill Werber and the first televised game ©DiamondsintheDusk.com By AL FEATHERSTON Bill Werber is a pretty obscure guy for a player Ed Barrow once called “the best player in the American League.” He was also the first basketball All-American at Duke University and became the last living teammate of Babe Ruth before his death at the age of 100 in 2009. But Werber should be recognized for another piece of history – he is the first player in Major League history to come to the plate in a televised game. “It was August 26, 1939 — I was lead- ing off for Cincinnati against the Dodg- ers,” he said in a 2008 interview. The game was tele- vised from Ebbets Field on station W2XBS (later to become WNBC-TV) as an experiment at the New York World’s Fair. Cincinnati Reds at Brooklyn Dodgers There were just 400 TV August 26, 1939 sets in the New York area at the time, but the television display at the Fair drew a large crowd. The inaugural telecast featured two cameras – one high above home plate and the other along the third base line. Dodger radio broadcaster Red Barber did the commentary. Werber led off against Brooklyn’s Luke Hamlin to become the first televised batter in baseball history. Werber didn’t recall the outcome of that first plate appearance, but he contributed a single and an RBI to the Reds’ 5-2 victory in that historic game. That was the first game of a doubleheader. The second game was also televised and Werber again led off for the Reds.
