  • 1962 Minnesota Twins Media Guide
    MINNESOTA TWINS METROPOLITAN STADIUM - BLOOMINGTON, MINNESOTA /eepreieniin the AMERICAN LEAGUE __flfl I/ic Upper l?ic/we1 The Name... The name of this baseball club is Minnesota Twins. It is unique, as the only major league baseball team named after a state instead of a city. The reason unlike all other teams, this one represents more than one city. It, in fact, represents a state and a region, Minnesota and the Upper Midwest, in the American League. A survey last year drama- tized the vastness of the Minnesota Twins market with the revelation that up to 47 per cent of the fans at weekend games came from beyond the metropolitan area surrounding the stadium. The nickname, Twins, is in honor of the two largest cities in the Upper Midwest, the Twin Cities of Minne- apolis and St. Paul. The Place... The home stadium of the Twins is Metropolitan Stadium, located in Bloomington, the fourth largest city in the state of Minnesota. Bloomington's popu- lation is in excess of 50,000. Bloomington is in Hen- nepin County and the stadium is approximately 10 miles from the hearts of Minneapolis (Hennepin County) and St. Paul (Ramsey County). Bloomington has no common boundary with either of the Twin Cities. Club Records Because of the transfer of the old Washington Senators to Minnesota in October, 1960, and the creation of a completely new franchise in the Na- tion's Capital, there has been some confusion over the listing of All-Time Club records. In this booklet, All-Time Club records include those of the Wash- ington American League Baseball Club from 1901 through 1960, and those of the 1961 Minnesota Twins, a continuation of the Washington American League Baseball Club.

I crir ItE4L.A.&) Patriotism We have just passed through a period of holidays that were designed to stimulate pa- triotism and loyalty, Memorial Day, May 30; Flag Day, June 14, and Independence Day, July 4. Each of these days has its significance. The Declaration of Independence, by which the United States became a separate and distinct nation, was signed July 4, 1776. The first American flag was adopted by Congress on June 14, 1777. Memorial Day was set apart to commemorate those soldiers of the Civil War who sacrificed their lives that the country might stand undivided. It has assumed broader aspects, because soldiers of other wars and civilians, too, are honored on that day. Anything that is designed to inspire devo- tion and loyalty to the nation and its institu- tions must command respect. 1 ( '1111 v■vilitt !MIL 4.N.N.XNW Nycs,.■■■•■■■ . _ ViNVAVOIII Vol. XV II JUNE, 1936 No. 6 imagination.

  • The Uniqueness of Baseball As an American Sport - a Psycho-Biblical Analysis*
    International Journal of Science Culture and Sport December 2016 : 4(4) ISSN : 2148-1148 Doi : 10.14486/IntJSCS589 Field : Sport Sociology Type : Review Article Recieved: 30.08.2016 –Accepted: 24.10.2016 The Pastime Past Time: The Uniqueness of Baseball as an American Sport - A Psycho-Biblical Analysis* Paul CANTZ¹, Daniel L. KAPLAN², Kalman J. KAPLAN³ ¹PsyD, ABPP, University - Chicago, Department of Psychology; Chicago, USA ²PhD, Independent Practice, USA ³ University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine Department of Psychiatry; Chicago,USA Email: [email protected] Abstract The essence of what makes baseball unique amongst sporting competitions can be difficult to articulate. In this paper we suggest that what links baseball and American culture is a shared reliance, often implicit, on a biblical as opposed to a more Graeco-European way of appreciating life. Devoid of a cross-cultural perspective, however, baseball’s biblical substrate is initially difficult to discern, and therefore it is instructive to provide contrast by comparing the modern game of baseball to Ancient Greek sports and motifs. This might seem like a curious comparison except for the fact that the Ancient Greeks are credited with inaugurating the very enterprise of organized athletic competition through the Olympic games, and in so doing establishing a distinctly Graeco-Roman undercurrent that permeates most other modern sports, with notable exception, we argue, to the most Hebraic of sports: Baseball. Keywords: Baseball, Bible, American Culture, Greek Mythology * A version of this paper was first presented at the 25th Cooperstown Symposium on Baseball and American Culture. Copyright©IntJSCS (www.iscsjournal.com) - 367 Cantz et al, The Pastime Past Time: The Uniqueness of… IntJSCS, 2016; 4(4):367-380 Introduction Although the majority of baseball fans may be intimately familiar with the rules of America’s favorite pastime, the essence of what makes baseball unique – what qualitatively distinguishes it from every other major athletic competition – can be difficult to articulate.
