  • Introduction Making an Adjustment
    Introduction Making an Adjustment David M.K. Sheinin and Raanan Rein The Jewish American comedian Lenny Bruce famously reflected, “Who can be glad they’re Jewish? You can say…I’ve made a good adjustment, but that’s all.”1 In his 2013 documentary, “When Jews were Funny,” director Alan Zweig is pre- occupied with and anxious about what has changed in recent decades regard- ing Jewish comedy and Jewish comedians in the United States. More specifically, he asks, is there still “Jewish” comedy? No comedians interviewed have the same answer, but Gilbert Gottfried may have come closest to explaining a shift that has occurred over time. While yiddishkeit, Yiddish in-jokes, the Borscht Belt, and the other categorical “Jewish” markers of a comedian’s identity may have slipped away, Jewish comedy continues to function through comedic devices that identify protagonists as Jewish in conjunction with other, overlap- ping identities. Reflecting an ever more complicated set of ethnic and other identities in the Americas, the shift is away from the rigid, and toward a set of constantly reconfiguring identity borders. So according to Gottfried, on the popular television comedy Seinfeld, “every character in it was a Jew, even though they changed their name…. George Costanza and his family were all Jews, but they have an Italian name.”2 Jews have been adjusting their identities for centuries. Sport tells those adjustment stories in the twentieth century where Jewish sport narratives have both reflected and pushed a growing fluidity and complexity of ethnic identity and its boundaries. Jewish sports narratives have tended away from rigid mark- ers toward more complex, multifaceted identity narratives.

  • With a Combination of Speed, Daring and Brains, Ty Cobb Is Surely the Terror of the Opposing Infield.” – 1912 Hassan Cigarettes Tobacco Card
    Ty Cobb By Jimmy Keenan “With a combination of speed, daring and brains, Ty Cobb is surely the terror of the opposing infield.” – 1912 Hassan Cigarettes tobacco card. “Rogers Hornsby could run like anything but not like this kid. Ty Cobb was the fastest I ever saw for being sensational on the bases." – Hall of Fame manager Casey Stengel. 1 “The Babe was a great ballplayer, sure, but Ty Cobb was even greater. Babe Ruth could knock your brains out, but Cobb would drive you crazy." – Hall of Fame outfielder Tris Speaker. 2 "The greatness of Ty Cobb was something that had to be seen, and to see him was to remember him forever." – Hall of Fame first baseman George Sisler. 3 Ty Cobb made his mark in baseball during the first three decades of the 20 th century. To this day, the mere mention of his name resonates baseball excellence. Cobb was credited with setting 90 individual records during his 24-year major league career. He played with the Detroit Tigers from (1905- 26) and the Philadelphia A's from (1927-28). He was the player-manager of the Tigers from 1921-26. Cobb hit over .400 three times (1911, 1912, 1922). He currently holds the highest lifetime batting average (.366) of any major league player. During his tenure in the bigs, he was credited with 12 American League batting titles, nine of them in a row. An error regarding Cobb’s 1910 hitting statistics was discovered in 1978. This correction led to him losing a point on his lifetime average as well as the 1910 batting crown.

  • Sermon Sept 24 All in a Day's Work
    “All in a Day’s Work” Matthew 20:1-16 Proper 20-A, Sept 24, 2017 For any of you who are Major League Baseball fans, the name “Ty Cobb” is more than likely— very familiar—to you because Ty Cobb is considered to be one of the greatest baseball players of all time. He first signed on to play centerfield for the Detroit Tigers when he was only 18 years old in 1904. When he was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1936, he received more votes than that of any other player whose name was on the ballot. Ty Cobb is even accredited for setting 90 MAJOR LEAGUE RECORDS—and to this very day—he holds the highest batting average ever of 366. Ty Cobb’s personal life, however, tells a different story. Only three weeks before this young man began to play baseball for the Detroit Tigers—a terrible tragedy struck his home. His father was shot to death by his mother with a pistol his father had purchased for his wife. How did this happen? Somehow Ty Cobb’s father conceived the idea that his wife was guilty of some type of marital infidelity. So coming home, late one evening, when he told his wife that he would be out of town, he was sneaking around to back of the house—hoping to catch her in a compromising situation—even though she was alone in that bedroom. But when she saw the shadow of a man appearing in her bedroom window, she opened her nightstand.

  • One of Baseball's Greatest Catchers
    Excerpt • Temple University Press 1 ◆ ◆ ◆ One of Baseball’s Greatest Catchers f all the positions on a baseball diamond, none is more demanding or harder to play than catcher. The job behind the plate is without question the most difficult to perform, Oand those who excel at it rank among the toughest players in the game. To catch effectively, one has to be a good fielder, have a good throwing arm, be able to call the right pitches, be a good psy- chologist when it comes to dealing with pitchers, know how to engage tactfully with umpires, how to stave off injuries, and have the fortitude to block the plate and to stand in front of speeding or sliding runners and risk serious injury. Catching is not a position for the dumb or the lazy or the faint-hearted. To wear the mask and glove, players have to be smart. They have to be tough, fearless, and strong. They must be alert, agile, and accountable. They are the ones in charge of their teams when on the field, and they have to be able to handle that job skillfully. Excerpt • Temple University Press BIZ MACKEY, A GIANT BEHIND THE PLATE There are many other qualities required of a good catcher that, put together, determine whether or not players can satisfac- torily occupy the position. If they can’t, they will not be behind the plate for long. Rare is the good team that ever took the field without a good catcher. And yet, while baseball has been richly endowed with tal- ented backstops, only a few have ever made it to the top of their profession.

McDorman _______________ The 34th LaFollette Lecture October 10, 2013 _____________ www.wabash.edu/lafollette The Charles D. LaFollette Lecture Series One for the Books: On Rhetoric, Community, and Memory1 Todd F. McDorman PREFERRED CITATION McDorman, Todd F., “One for the Books: On Rhetoric, Community, and Memory.” The Charles D. LaFollette Lectures Series (2009): < http://www.wabash.edu/lafollette/mcdorman2013/> EXCERPT Classical liberal arts teaching and learning at its best is potent in helping us engage and interrogate the economies and ecologies of life-with-the-dead precisely because it serves as one of those few educational refuges, or haunts if you will, from the insistent pressures to reduce prudential teaching and learning to myopic, present-day utility, which in my mind equates with living alone and with no past. From classics to chemistry, music to mathematics, English to economics, the liberal arts bear witness to the enormous landscape of human experience and the potential for those who have passed on to continue to address vital present-day questions and truths, and, oh yes, to call us to account. __________ The LaFollette Lecture Series was established by the Wabash College Board of Trustees to honor Charles D. LaFollette, their longtime colleague on the Board. The lecture is given each year by a Wabash College Faculty member who is charged to address the relation of his or her special discipline to the humanities broadly conceived.
