The Reflector September 2018 Volume 46, Issue 9 The Reflector PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE By Anthony Lugo Hello Palomar A's members. Our August 1st, 2018 meeting proceeded rather swiftly as several key members were absent due to personal important commitments some distance away from our local. Vice President Ed Simpson could not attend, but rest assure, Ed should be in true form at the next meeting to accommodate your needs for club accessories (hats, shirts, etc.) as well as monitoring the “cleanup effort” at the end of each meeting. Raffle Directors John and JoAnn Pickrell, likewise, had to miss the meeting. Our infa- mous raffle was put on hold for the September meeting. I'm certain that the “Big Gun Raffle Winners” will use the extra time to “recharge” their lucky streak. Our Tech Director, Chuck Grabowsky also had to miss the meeting, so no tech report. Summers are busy times as I briefly alluded to in last month’s Presidents Message. Continued page 2.

Harry credited his long life to no alcohol, no smoking, and the good luck of the two atom bombings in Japan, ending War II before he was fated to invade it. Harry met Fern Milligan and eloped with her in 1935. He worked as a star printing supply clerk in Los Angeles after the war. Harry and Fern loved collecting seashells, rocks, fos- sils, and Indian artifacts in the 1940's through the 1970's. Their shell collection now resides in the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History. His five siblings, all moved to the same mobile home park in retirement. He is survived by his son Richard An- derson (Lynn) of Modesto and daughter Elaine Lutz of Hanford; two grandchildren; and six great grandchildren. He was predeceased by Fern who died in 1982 and by his grandson Michael Lutz (Lisa). Burial was private. A Celebration of life memorial will be held for Harry Thursday, August 23rd at the Madrid Manor Mobile Home Park 1401 El Norte Parkway, San Marcos from 12-2. There will be a light lunch served.

  • 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.

  • The White, Night Football
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 21, No. 2 (1999) The White, Night Football by Alan Ross It was nocturnal by nature. It once scored 73 points in a game. It was thrown by the likes of Sid Luckman and Otto Graham. It had been caught by Dante Lavelli, carried by Steve Van Buren, and returned by Charley Trippi. Like owls and bats, it only came out at night. It was white. The white, night football — with one black circle on each end; similar in every respect to its daylight contemporary, the prolate spheroid of traditional pigskin tone and character. One of its renowned tossers, Luckman of the famed Chicago Bears’ “Monsters of the Midway” teams, says that its inception lies with George Halas, the father of pro football. “Oh, George was the boss,” confirms Luckman, the legendary quarterback who along with Halas perfected the innovative T formation that revolutionized football back in the late ’30s. “In fact, he talked with me one time about it. I said, 'Gee, that sounds like a great thing for the spectators.' And actually, it really was –– to see a white ball going through the sky.” Despite Luckman’s enthusiastic support of Halas as the originator of the white ball, an account from Monsignor Ignatius McDermott, a legend in Chicago for his unflagging work with the homeless, indicates otherwise. Msgr. McDermott, at the 50th Anniversary reunion of the 1947 world champion Chicago Cardinals, vividly described instances in the early-to-mid 1920s when the Cardinals, under original owner and founder Chris O’Brien, would hold evening practices at the South Side’s old Sherman Park after players got off from work.

  • Give Me a “Ball Park Figure”: Creating Civic Narratives Through Stadium Building in Newark, New Jersey by Laura T
    Give Me A “Ball Park Figure”: Creating Civic Narratives Through Stadium Building in Newark, New Jersey By Laura T. Troiano A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in American Studies Program Written under the direction of Beryl Satter And approved by _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ Newark, New Jersey October 2017 Copyright © 2017 by Laura T. Troiano ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Give Me A “Ball Park Figure”: Creating Civic Narratives Through Stadium Building in Newark, NJ By Laura T. Troiano Dissertation Director: Beryl Satter I came to this project interested in the question, what can narratives about baseball stadiums reveal about the development of Newark, NJ spanning the twentieth century? From this question arose an exploration of narratives that offered insight into competing interests within the city, definitions of civicness, the employment of nostalgia as an argumentative strategy, and how urban development plans are constructed and sold to citizens. The primary focus of this history is centered on two baseball stadiums in Newark, NJ, Ruppert Stadium, built in 1926 and demolished in 1967 and Bears and Eagles Riverfront Stadium, completed in 1999, sold in 2016, and is now slated to be replaced with mixed use retail space and condominiums. The narratives fashioned to support both stadiums construction and maintenance are strikingly similar. For both stadiums, for over a century, Newark mayors, councilmen, successful businessmen, community organizers, newspaper columnists and reporters, and local citizens all craft, repurpose, and used these civic narratives to further their own varied agendas.
