    I ¡Qt>. 565 MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL PRINCIPAL PLAY-BY-PLAY ANNOUNCERS: THEIR OCCUPATION, BACKGROUND, AND PERSONAL LIFE Michael R. Emrick A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY June 1976 Approved by Doctoral Committee DUm,s¡ir<y »»itti». UNIVERSITY LIBRARY 11 ABSTRACT From the very early days of radio broadcasting, the descriptions of major league baseball games have been among the more popular types of programs. The relationship between the ball clubs and broadcast stations has developed through experimentation, skepticism, and eventual acceptance. The broadcasts have become financially important to the teams as well as the advertisers and stations. The central person responsible for pleasing the fans as well as satisfying the economic goals of the stations, advertisers, and teams—the principal play- by-play announcer—had not been the subject of intensive study. Contentions were made in the available literature about his objectivity, partiality, and the influence exerted on his description of the games by outside parties. To test these contentions, and to learn more about the overall atmosphere in which this focal person worked, a study was conducted of principal play-by-play announcers who broadcasted games on a day-to-day basis, covering one team for a local audience. With the assistance of some of the announcers, a survey was prepared and distributed to both announcers who were employed in the play-by-play capacity during the 1975 season and those who had been involved in the occupation in past seasons.

  • La Veterinaire 2016 the News Magazine of the Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine LETTER from OUR DEAN
    La Veterinaire 2016 The News Magazine of the Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine LETTER FROM OUR DEAN When I first came to LSU from Cornell, I was aware that LSU had a live mascot but not how important he is the LSU community. I quickly learned that, for Tiger fans, Mike the Tiger embodies the spirit of LSU. This was never more apparent than when Mike VI was diagnosed with spindle cell sarcoma in May 2016. I am so proud of the faculty and staff who worked together to examine and diagnose Mike VI under the direction of Dr. David Baker, Mike’s veterinarian and the director of our Division of Laboratory Medicine. Dr. Baker took over the care of Mike V in 1996 and selected Mike VI in 2007. Mike VI’s diagnosis was just the first step. The next was to determine if Mike could be treated, and, if so, how and where. Dr. Baker consulted with veterinary specialists both within and outside of the LSU community, and we partnered with the Mary Bird Joel D. Baines, VMD, PhD, became dean of Perkins - Our Lady of the Lake Cancer Center (Cancer Center) to give Mike stereotactic the LSU SVM on September 1, 2014. He radiotherapy, or SRT—to our knowledge the first time this treatment has been done on came to LSU from the Cornell University a live tiger. With fingers crossed, the treatment appears to have been successful, and College of Veterinary Medicine, where we hope to have Mike VI with us for many more months.

  • The LSU Golf House
    The LSU Golf House INTRO COACHES PLAYERS REVIEW HISTORY THIS IS LSU The LSUThe LSU Golf Golf House House t has proven to be everything it was hoped to be. The men’s and women’s golf teams at LSU now I have the home they’ve always wanted right at their home course, the University Club. LSU’s Golf House offers the year-round ability to concentrate on improving the play of LSU’s student-athletes. An $850,000 facility funded by the Tiger Athletic Foundation, the LSU Golf House func- tions primarily as a golf-learning center for the LSU men’s and women’s teams. Head coach Karen Bahnsen said the building, opened in 2003, is a great benefit to the LSU pro- grams. It is helping the program’s recruiting efforts, since many of LSU’s competitors either have similar facilities or are in the process of building a similar facility. “Our practice area is tremendous, but having a building to go with it is great,” Bahnsen said. “We have a place where we can do club repairs and Hitting Room where we can store our teaching aids. We have two indoor hitting bays and a room we can use for video analysis, as well as meeting spaces. So, as far as helping their game, we’re just basically giv- ing them everything in the world they need to be competitive in the NCAA arena.” Bahnsen said LSU’s golf teams are already well equipped for practice at University Club, with a 100- yard-long tee box and 10,000-square-foot putting green that has bunkers around it.
