Most young players who sign in the big Western circuit are not only farmed out for at least one vear, but usually sit on the bench for an- other season after they are recalled. ! Yet there are six youngsters playing their second season in the league this year whe are going so good as regulars, and who| have so much natural ability, that major league scouts are watching them closely. 1 As could be expected, all are either infielders or out-| fielders.

  • Insolvent Professional Sports Teams: a Historical Case Study
    LCB_18_2_Art_2_Grow (Do Not Delete) 8/26/2014 6:25 AM INSOLVENT PROFESSIONAL SPORTS TEAMS: A HISTORICAL CASE STUDY by Nathaniel Grow* The U.S. professional sports industry has recently witnessed a series of high-profile bankruptcy proceedings involving teams from both Major League Baseball (“MLB”) and the National Hockey League (“NHL”). In some cases—most notably those involving MLB’s Los Angeles Dodgers and the NHL’s Phoenix Coyotes—these proceedings raised difficult issues regarding the proper balance for bankruptcy courts to strike between the authority of a professional sports league to control the disposition of its financially struggling franchise’s assets and the rights of the debtor team to maximize the value of its property. However, these cases did not mark the first time that a court was called upon to balance the interests of a professional sports league and one of its insolvent teams. Drawing upon original court records and contemporaneous newspaper accounts, this Article documents the history of two long-forgotten disputes in 1915 for the control of a pair of insolvent franchises in the Federal League of Professional Base Ball Clubs (specifically, the Kansas City Packers and the Indianapolis Hoosiers). In the process, the Article contends that despite the passage of time—and the different factual and procedural postures of the respective cases—courts both then and now have adopted similar approaches to managing litigation between professional sports leagues and their insolvent franchises. Moreover, the Article discusses how the history of these 1915 disputes helps explain why U.S. professional sports leagues have traditionally disfavored public franchise ownership.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. A HISTORICAL REVIEW OF LITIGATION IN BASEBALL DR. RICHARD L. IRwIN I. INTRODUCTION Commentators have recently identified a lack of needed research con- cerning the history of sports law. More specifically, an analysis of the ori- gins of the entanglement of sports and litigation throughout history, as well as the manner by which sports have been governed by judicial law and in- ternal regulation is required. In an effort to respond to this need, this paper will trace and analyze historical litigation in the sport of professional baseball. Legal issues in sports generally revolve around three areas: contract law, antitrust law, and labor law.' In general, baseball's litigation history follows this very path while adding a few legal interpretations specific only to the game of baseball. A comprehensive case analysis will attempt to demonstrate the various challenges brought against organized baseball, the primary issues involved in the challenges, and how the results have im- pacted professional baseball. Baseball, with its lengthy professional history in the United States, pro- vides an ample volume of case review of legal concepts and their interrela- tionship with sports.

    The Worst Hitters in Baseball History by Fred Worth Department of Mathematics, Computer Science and Statistics Abstract In this paper we are going to look at several metrics for determining the worst hitter in major league baseball history. Introduction Books have been written trying to determine who have been the best hitters in baseball history. In this paper, we are going to consider the opposite end of the baseball talent spectrum. We are going to look at the worst hitters in baseball history. But first, a disclaimer. Disclaimer There have been some people who have played major league baseball who had no business doing so. Eddie Gaedel, for instance, had no business wearing a major league uniform. In the early years of major league ball, teams often did not have very large rosters. Sometimes on a road trip they would even leave some of their players home. Then, if a player was hurt, they would be short-handed. To fix that, they might ask the crowd, "who wants to play?" They might get someone who can play. But sometimes they got someone who had no business walking on a baseball field. In more recent years, however, if a man makes it to the major leagues, he is NOT a bad hitter. Such things are relative. He may be the worst hitter in the league but the league is made up of the best baseball players in the world. So, with the exception of Gaedel, and maybe one or two other flukes, when I say "worst hitters," I realize I am describing men who are far better than I ever was.

    Updated: 18 April 2021 ~ 0 ~ z FORWARD This work has been assembled by me from many sources including some related to me verbally. As it says on the cover, they can be tales or myths or legends and possibly sometimes of dubious validity. This has been put together less as a history lesson in some cases, and more as a celebration of what small town life was and still is to some degree. I have decided to not use real names in a few circumstances for various reasons. I don’t consider this a work of fiction for the most part, nor of total fact in a few cases. It was collected mainly for the enjoyment of any former or present Paw Paw resident, or anyone else with ties to the community. Several people have been instrumental in helping this work get into print. The Paw Paw District Library, the Harry Bush family, and most of all Dan Smith, PPHS-63 who has placed it on his pawpawwappaw.com website, and has really spent a lot of time finding candidates for the book, and pictures of them. He also has done a lot to make this work look professional. Thanks to all.

INTRODUCTION Curt Flood was not a Show Me State native.I Born in Houston, Texas, in January 1938, the last of six children, Flood moved as a child with his fam- ily to Oakland, California.2 From early on, Flood "was precociously coordi- nated."3 He was able to run, catch, and throw a ball better than much older children.4 He began playing organized baseball at the age of nine in a police league and knew by the time he was a teen that he might make a living at baseball.s Although he was shorter and lighter than most professional ball players, at the age of eighteen, fresh out of high school, in 1956, Flood signed a $4000 yearly contract with the Cincinnati Reds.6 * This Article represents the final scholarly work of James R.
