Commentary II Whether Huron or Eagle, teacher or techni­ cian, banker or nurse, programmer or artist, pro­ fessional student or consummate professional, we all share pride in our University. There are many ways in which we can promote our pride: attend sporting events, mentor under­ graduates, display decals in and on our cars, hire graduates into our companies, recruit students to the campus or contribute financially to scholar- Melonie Colaianne ships or capital undertakings. Another means for promoting pride in our alma mater is to main­ tain a "voice" long after leaving the hallowed halls. This can be ac­ complished in a meaningful way by becoming a member of the National Alumni Association (see inside back cover) and joining with others to strengthen our University, our alumni organization and our collective voice. Ours is a voice that can benefit Eastern, our classmates and the lives of future graduates. Ours is a voice to be heard.We hope to hear from you. Melonie Colaianne, '83, '94, President National Alumni Association Board of Directors Don't forget: We want to hear from you! • Send us your input and responses to articles and issues. • Send us your membership renewal. • Send us your name and get involved in an alumni chapter.

  • Nasty Women Transgressive Womanhood in American History
    Nasty Women Transgressive Womanhood in American History Edited by Marian Mollin With the Students of HIST 4914 - Spring 2020 The saying goes that well-behaved women rarely make history. For centuries, American women have been carving out spaces of their own in a male-dominated world. From politics, to entertainment, to their personal lives, women have been making their mark on the American landscape since the nation’s inception, often ignored or overlooked by those creating the record. This collection takes the long view of the American woman and examines her transgressive behavior through the decades. Including stories of women enslaved, early celebrities, engineers, and more, these essays demonstrate how there is no such thing as an “average” woman, as even those ordinary women are found doing extraordinary things. This collection comes at a particularly poignant time, as August 2020 marked the 100th anniversary of the ratification and adoption of the 19th amendment, which – in a landmark for women’s right – granted American women the right to vote. Virginia Tech Department of History in association with ISBN 9781949373516 90000 > 9 781949 373516 Nasty Women Nasty Women: Transgressive Womanhood in American History is part of the Virginia Tech Student Publications series. This series contains book-length works authored and edited by Virginia Tech undergraduate and graduate students and published in collaboration with Virginia Tech Publishing. Often these books are the culmination of class projects for advanced or capstone courses. The series provides the opportunity for students to write, edit, and ultimately publish their own books for the world to learn from and enjoy.

  • The Negro Baseball Leagues the Women's Professional Baseball Leagues Some of the Greatest Negro League Players the Last Man To
    The Negro Baseball Leagues The Women’s Professional Baseball Leagues Some of the Greatest Negro League Players The Last Man to Bat .400 in an American Professional Baseball League The Last Person to bat .400 in an American Professional Baseball League The First African American Players to Join Each Major League Team Women Offered Minor League Contracts Chapter 16 The interesting facts for Chapter 16 are dedicated to two populations excluded from playing in the Major Leagues. African American players were excluded until 1947. At one time the population of women was excluded from the Major Leagues. Today, even though there are no women in the Major Leagues, they are not excluded officially anymore. Other Professional American Baseball Leagues This entire section is devoted to two other professional baseball leagues, the Negro Baseball Leagues and the Women’s Professional Baseball League. These leagues were established because their players were excluded from the Major Leagues. For the Negro Leagues, the baseball statistics of the players were not kept accurately. Records were not kept of all Negro League games because the media paid little attention to them. Several black newspapers did make an attempt to keep records. However, when these newspapers went out of business their records were destroyed or lost much of the time. Many times the teams in the Negro Leagues would play games against teams outside their league. The statistics kept were cumulative and involved both league games and non-league games. After Jackie Robinson entered the Major Leagues in 1947, the statistics were kept more accurately because the leagues wanted to sell their players’ contracts to the Major Leagues.

  • Jean Faut's Nomination for Women's Baseball Hall of Fame Induction By
    Jean Faut's Nomination for Women's Baseball Hall of Fame Induction By Robert M. Gorman, Winthrop University From the Official Website of the AAGPBL All-American Girls Professional Baseball League Players Association (link) Jean Faut with NWB HOF Plaque"Jean Faut played eight years for the South Bend Blue Sox and during her career was the most dominant pitcher in the league. She was twice Player-of-the-Year (1951 and 1953), one of only two players to be so honored (Doris Sams was the other); led the league in ERA in 1950, 1952, and 1953; led the league in shutouts in 1949 with 12; was an All-Star in 1949, 1950, 1951, and 1953; pitched against the All-Star team in 1952; holds the league record for single-season winning percentage when she went 20-2 in 1952 (.909); is second in the league in career wins with 140; holds a career 1.23 ERA; and started 235 games and pitched 1,780 innings." "Without a doubt, Jean was the heart and soul of the South Bend Blue Sox. Twice she led the team to league championships (1951 and 1952), the second time when the team was left with 12 players after six players staged a walkout in a dispute with the manager at the end of the season." "At the recent AAGPBL players' reunion in Syracuse, NY, teammate Sue Kidd commented on that 1952 season in her remarks at the reunion banquet saying that Jean, 'carried the Blue Sox on her shoulders that year." "Jean is the only professional baseball player of either gender to pitch two perfect games in her career.
