  • Charles Mason First New Orleanian to Play Big League Ball

    Charles Mason First New Orleanian to Play Big League Ball

    A Schott From The Bleachers Charles Mason First New Orleanian to Play Big League Ball by Arthur O. Schott Listed on the roster of major league players is one Charles E. Mason. He appeared in a total of 21 games, hitting .183, with 15 hits in 82 times at bat. His career began in the old National Association (a predecessor of the National League) on April 26, 1875, with the Centennials of Philadelphia. After twelve games there, Mason went to the Washington club in the same league for eight games. Mason’s career ended in 1883 when “base ball” was still being written as two words. He appeared in the old American Association major league. He made one hit in two times at bat (a .500 average for his short career there). Why is this seemingly insignificant performance so long ago worthy of mention? Charles Mason was born on June 25, 1853 in New Orleans, Louisiana, and died October 21, 1936 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. That fact, coupled with his short major league career, entitles him to a record that can never be equaled: he was the first New Orleans native to play in a league of major classification. The accompanying box score is that of Charles Mason’s first game, when the New Orleans native played right field for the Centennials and contributed two hits in four times at bat.

EDWARDS CHAPTER XIX—MEN WHO COACHED, pages 349-382 LISTENING TO YOST "I have been at Michigan fifteen seasons. My 1901 team is perhaps the most remarkable in the history of football in many ways. It scored 550 points to opponents' nothing, and journeyed 3500 miles. We played Stanford on New Year's day, using no substitutes. On this great team were Neil Snow, and the remarkable quarterback Boss Weeks. Willie Heston, who [Pg 370]was playing his first year at Michigan, was another star on this team. A picture of Michigan's great team appears on the opposite page. "Boss Weeks' two teams scored more than 1200 points. If that team had been in front of the Chinese Wall and got the signal to go, not a man would have hesitated. Every man that played under Boss Weeks idolized him, and when word was brought to the university that he had died, every Michigan man felt that its university had lost one of its greatest men.
  • A Schott from the Bleachers

    A Schott from the Bleachers

    A Schott From The Bleachers Yankees Played in New Orleans Before New York by Arthur O. Schott Member, Society for American Baseball Research The American League was organized and completed its first season in 1901. The eight original clubs were (in alphabetical order): Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, and Washington. In 1902, St. Louis replaced Milwaukee, and in 1903, the New York Highlanders (later to become the Yankees) took over the Baltimore franchise. The league then kept the same eight clubs for 51 years until Baltimore returned to the league replacing the St. Louis Browns in 1954. After playing the first five games of the 1903 exhibition season at Atlanta (then in the Southern Association), the New York club visited New Orleans and played a five-game series against the old Pelicans. All five games were played at Athletic Park. The Highlanders won the series, three games to two. The first game of the series, played on April 8, 1903, was of special historical interest. The New York club, in the days before opening its inaugural season in the American League, played before a crowd of 1,200 New Orleans fans three weeks before they ever played a game in New York. The Highlanders’ home opening game was played three weeks later on April 30, 1903, a New York victory over Washington. The exhibition game in New Orleans on April 8th was well played through 7 innings, with the score tied 2 – 2. A total of six errors by the Pels made things easy for the Highlanders, who coasted to an 8 – 2 victory.
