  • Ryan King-White Dissertation
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: BASEBALL, CITIZENSHIP, AND NATIONAL IDENTITY IN GEORGE W. BUSH’S AMERICA Ryan Edward King‐White, Doctor of Philosophy, 2008 Dissertation directed by: Professor David L. Andrews Department of Kinesiology The four separate, but related, studies within this research project seek to offer a critical understanding for how American national identit(ies), and particular forms of (cultural) citizenship are discursively constructed and performed in and through the sport of baseball. More specifically, this dissertation will utilize and expand upon critical theories of neoliberalism, citizenship, whiteness, and (physical) cultural studies to engage various empirical sites, which help provide the context for everyday life in contemporary America. Each chapter looks at various empirical aspects of the Little League World Series and the fans of the Boston Red Sox (popularly referred to as Red Sox Nation) that have historically privileged particular performances and behaviors often associated with white, American, heterosexual, upper‐middle class, masculine subject‐positions. In the first instance this project also attempts to describe how ‘normalized’ American citizenship is being (re)shaped in and through the sport of baseball. Secondly, I aim to critically evaluate claims made by both Little League Baseball, and the Boston Red Sox organization, in response to (popular) criticisms (Bryant, 20002; Mosher, 2001a, 2001b, 2001c) of regressive activity and behavior historically related to their organizations, that they

  • Pittsburgh, PA Previous GTCA City 2013
    Pittsburgh, PA Previous GTCA City 2013 Contact: Tom Piccone ([email protected]); Andy Wang ([email protected]) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ The Church of God in Pittsburgh The Church of God in Pittsburgh was originally established as the Church in Pittsburgh in 1983, primarily through a migration of saints mainly from Ohio. Some years after a turmoil, the Church of God in Pittsburgh was incorporated in 2017. The church does not presently have a meeting hall, but meets on university campuses and in various saints’ homes. Approximately 40 currently gather on Lord’s Day mornings, including four children. The racial composition of the church is 59% Chinese and 16% Caucasian, with the remaining 25% a mix of Korean, Vietnamese, Black, and Indian. The current church life in Pittsburgh focuses primarily on campus work at the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) and Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), though the need to gain more families is of equal priority (and not necessarily separate). Each year, the Lord adds remaining fruit to His Body through the saints’ labor on the campuses to gain college and graduate students, and sometimes university staff. In the past 12 years of campus work, dozens have been gained, but most have moved away. Only a handful of them have not been Asian. While the saints in Pittsburgh welcome all who would like to move here, we particularly see a need for young American families to migrate to the Pittsburgh area in order to share the burden of shepherding and gaining some from the population of American students and families for the strengthening of His testimony in this locality and region.

Weeks of intense training and many thousands of meters of seat racing had put together the quickest lineup by mere fractions of a deck. In the weeks leading up to the race the rowers and I talked about tactics, course markers, and the crews we would be up against. As the coxswain, I had been gleaning information from a handful of maps and course videos to give us the best route down the river. These weeks of preparation distilled down to a quick 16:35 race time on that perfect October afternoon. As the crews found their way around the warm up area, my attention was drawn to the iconic BU Bridge just past the starting line. The year before it was painted with the message “Make History” and this year’s message was just as impactful; “Defy the Odds”. As I looked at the crews in the warm up area, the blades of Michigan, Wentworth, and Virginia lead the pack towards the deWolfe Boathouse.

  • American Icons Midterm Paper-1Iiib6i
    Deuer 1 Savannah Deuer Professor Jason Payne American Icons 12 October 2018 The iconicity of Babe Ruth Babe Ruth was one of the greatest and most well - rounded baseball players not only of his day but in baseball history. He played for a total of twenty- two seasons,for different teams including the minor - league Baltimore Orioles, the Boston Red Sox, and the New York Yankees. Most of Ruth’s career was spent with the Yankees where he broke multiple Major League Baseball records as well as often breaking his personal records season after season. Babe Ruth is considered an American icon because of his talent and effect on baseball, his lasting impact on American culture, and the multiple curiosities surrounding him. In the years Ruth played, American baseball was nothing like it is today. When Ruth began his career, only sixteen Major League Baseball teams existed as opposed to the thirty that exist today. Ruth struggled in his first four years in the league from 1914 - 1918, but his talent was obvious during the 1919 season when he led the MLB in home runs hit, hitting a staggering twenty - nine (“MLB Season History - 1919”). Some of the greatest baseball players played during Ruth’s time on the field, such as Ty Cobb and Joe Jackson, but Ruth prevailed over his struggles and climbed the rankings in the 1920 season. Ruth was also highly praised for his ability to consistently help his team win repeatedly. “​In his 15 seasons with the Yankees, Ruth 1 Deuer 2 and his team won seven pennants and four World Series” (“Babe Ruth”).
