The reason for the study is two-fold in scope. Nothing has been written in the field of professional hasehall in Omaha,, and many people do not realize the colorful history of Omaha in professional hasehall. Because of the ahove reasons this undertaking was commenced. Although this study covers many years It is limited in range because of a time limit and a lack of complete records. The investigation has been concentrated on the major and most Important events in the period of professional hasehall in Omaha. The scrutiny begins with a general look at the broad scope of hasehall in the United States when the game only vaguely resembled what is today known as hase­ hall. It canvasses the first professional team; the general movement west of the sport with Omaha finally acquiring a professional hasehall team; Omahars partici­ pation in one of the first minor leagues in the United 2 States,, the league which eventually became the American league; the baseball war involving the American Associa­ tion and. the Western League; the World War I years; the depression years; Omaha under the St. Louis Cardinals and the Los Angeles Dodgers in the Western League and the American Association; the building of a stadium; and a general summary of the entire study. The game of baseball stems from the English game of Rounders and was known under this name until 1834., when a Boston firm copied the Rounders rules and printed them in a book called The Book of Sports., by Robert Carver, who changed the heading from "Rounders” to "Base" or "Goal Ball." However, the possible first recording of an American baseball game came in the journal of George Ewing., a Revolutionary Soldier, who claimed to have played "base" at Valley Eorge, on April J 3 1778.1 By the l820’s and 1830’s baseball was still a very informal game without much organization; soon many 2 organized teams began to replace the informal teams. The first known baseball team to organize was the New York Knickerbockers Base Ball Club, in 1845.^ Other ■^Harold Seymour, Baseball: The Early Years, (New York: Oxford University Press, I960), pp. W, 5^ ^Ibid., p . 14. ^Ibid., p . 15. 3 organized teams were formed in the New York area^ and hy 1854 New York had four firmly established hasehall teams.^ At first, attempts were made to keep hasehall an exclusive pastime of the upper class, hut because of its popularity it began to spread among people of all walks of life. 6 By the 1850's hasehall interest was gradually making a westward movement and by 1857j people were watching teams in Cleveland daily, and in the Minnesota 7 territory a lot was rented for a game.1 In the early 1850's , hasehall began to take on its present form. It was becoming a favorite pastime of the young people of the land, played without gloves or suits and played any place there was space, usually in cow pastures. A community of any size would try to field a team to represent them. The game probably received its greatest impetus when, in 1858, the National Association of Baseball Players was organized to develop a definite Q code of rules. V b i d ., p. 1 8 . Ibid., p. 22.

Schlesinger and Dixon Ryan Fox; 12 Vols., New York: The Macmillan Company 1934), p. 192. 4 When the hostilities commenced between the north and the south at Fort Sumter, baseball interest declined but did not disappear entirely. The War probably did more for the game becoming a national sport than anything else., for the game was played in training camps,, behind the lines and even in prison camps. It was while serving in the army that "the boys from the Mississippi Valley and the border states learned the niceties of the sport at which New Englanders and New Yorkers were becoming adept." The intersectional movement of the armies gave baseball a national scope and Introduced it to such young men as Albert G. Spalding,^ of Rockford,, Illinois, who was told of the game by returning soldiers.^ According to Albert G. Spalding in his book, American National Game, the war did more to add vigor to the games during the late l8 6 0 Ts than anything else, and promptly established baseball as the national pastime, with hundreds of baseball clubs formed In cities and towns ^Played baseball for the Boston club in 1871; one of the greatest organizers In professional baseball.

Also, other teams were formed in Minnesota and Kansas. IS^ It was also during the decade of the Civil War that baseball began to change from a sport of leisure and amusement to a sport that had a tinge of professionalism. As towns became more and more anxious to have winning teams, they soon began to search for the best players available, and as early as i860 began to pay players.1^- By 1869* the National Association of Baseball Players, which was governed by amateurs, was weakened by their in­ ability to cope with gambling, and the paying of players.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Document: [Re]Integrating the Stadium
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: [Re]integrating the Stadium Within the City: A Ballpark for Downtown Tampa Justin Allen Cullen Master of Architecture, 2012 Directed By: Professor Garth C. Rockcastle, FAIA Architecture With little exception, Major League Baseball stadiums across the country deprive their cities of valuable space when not in use. These stadiums are especially wasteful if their resource demands are measured against their utilization. Baseball stadiums are currently utilized for only 13% of the total hours of each month during a regular season. Even though these stadiums provide additional uses for their audiences (meeting spaces, weddings, birthdays, etc.) rarely do these events aid the facility’s overall usage during a year. This thesis explores and redevelops the stadium’s interstitial zone between the street and the field. The primary objective is to redefine this zone as a space that functions for both a ballpark and as part of the urban fabric throughout the year.

  • An Analysis of the American Outdoor Sport Facility: Developing an Ideal Type on the Evolution of Professional Baseball and Football Structures
    AN ANALYSIS OF THE AMERICAN OUTDOOR SPORT FACILITY: DEVELOPING AN IDEAL TYPE ON THE EVOLUTION OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL AND FOOTBALL STRUCTURES DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Chad S. Seifried, B.S., M.Ed. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Donna Pastore, Advisor Professor Melvin Adelman _________________________________ Professor Janet Fink Advisor College of Education Copyright by Chad Seifried 2005 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to analyze the physical layout of the American baseball and football professional sport facility from 1850 to present and design an ideal-type appropriate for its evolution. Specifically, this study attempts to establish a logical expansion and adaptation of Bale’s Four-Stage Ideal-type on the Evolution of the Modern English Soccer Stadium appropriate for the history of professional baseball and football and that predicts future changes in American sport facilities. In essence, it is the author’s intention to provide a more coherent and comprehensive account of the evolving professional baseball and football sport facility and where it appears to be headed. This investigation concludes eight stages exist concerning the evolution of the professional baseball and football sport facility. Stages one through four primarily appeared before the beginning of the 20th century and existed as temporary structures which were small and cheaply built. Stages five and six materialize as the first permanent professional baseball and football facilities. Stage seven surfaces as a multi-purpose facility which attempted to accommodate both professional football and baseball equally.

  • A Whole New Ball Game: Sports Stadiums and Urban Renewal in Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, and St
    A Whole New Ball Game: Sports Stadiums and Urban Renewal in Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, and St. Louis, 1950-1970 AARON COWAN n the latter years of the 1960s, a strange phenomenon occurred in the cities of Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, and St. Louis. Massive white round Iobjects, dozens of acres in size, began appearing in these cities' down- towns, generating a flurry of excitement and anticipation among their residents. According to one expert, these unfamiliar structures resembled transport ships for "a Martian army [that] decided to invade Earth."1 The gigantic objects were not, of course, flying saucers but sports stadiums. They were the work not of alien invaders, but of the cities' own leaders, who hoped these unusual and futuristic-looking structures would be the key to bringing their struggling cities back to life. At the end of the Second World War, government and business leaders in the cities of Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and St. Louis recognized that their cities, once proud icons of America's industrial and commercial might, were dying. Shrouded in a haze of sulphureous smoke, their riparian transportation advantages long obsolete, each city was losing population by the thou- sands while crime rates skyrocketed. Extensive flooding, ever the curse of river cities, had wreaked havoc on all three cities' property values during 1936 and 1937, compounding economic difficulties ushered in with the Riverfront Stadium in Great Depression. While the industrial mobilization of World War II had Cincinnati. Cincinnati brought some relief, these cities' leaders felt less than sanguine about the Museum Center, Cincinnati Historical Society Library postwar future.2 In 1944, the Wall Street Journal rated Pittsburgh a "Class D" city with a bleak future and little promise for economic growth.
