  • DEREK JETER's BIOGRAPHY by the Time He Stepped Away from Baseball in 2014 After a Historic 20-Year Career, Derek Jeter Had Es
    DEREK JETER’S BIOGRAPHY By the time he stepped away from baseball in 2014 after a historic 20-year career, Derek Jeter had established himself as one of the most respected men to ever have played the game. With a reputation as an unmatched leader both on and off the field, Jeter has quickly transitioned into a second career leading a variety of successful business ventures and entrepreneurial investments. Most recently, he became part-owner of MLB’s Miami Marlins, for whom he also now serves as CEO, overseeing the day-to-day for both the business and baseball operations for the team. He is the first African-American to serve in this role for any major league team in the history of the sport. Jeter is also the founder of The Players’ Tribune, an innovative multimedia company where world- class athletes share their honest and unique perspectives, bringing fans closer to the games they love. In November 2013, Jeter and Simon & Schuster announced the Jeter Publishing imprint, which includes both adult and children’s books verticals. The first book released, The Contract, debuted at #2 on The New York Times Children’s Middle Grade Best Seller list. In October 2014, the imprint released a full-color photo book called Jeter Unfiltered, also a Best Seller, providing fans an in-depth look at his life through never-before-published images taken over the course of his final season. He also serves as Partner and Brand Development Officer of Luvo, a transformational lifestyle food brand where he is involved in product development, brand awareness and strategic partnerships.

Leroy “Satchel” Paige was born in Mobile, Alabama in 1906, the sixth of twelve children. His father was a gardener and his mother was a domestic worker. Some say Paige got his nickname while working as a baggage porter. He could carry so many suitcases (or satchels) at one time he looked like a “satchel tree.” At age 12, a truant officer caught Paige skipping school and stealing. As punishment, he was sent to industrial school. “It got me away from the bums.” He said later. “It gave me a chance to polish up my game. It gave me some schooling I’d of never taken if I wasn’t made to go to class.” PITCHING AND BARNSTORMING! Satchel Paige pitched his first Negro League game in 1924 with the semi-pro Mobile Tigers ball club. After a stretch with the Pittsburgh Crawfords, he went to the Kansas City Monarchs, helping them to win half a dozen pennants between the years 1939-1948.

  • The Timeless Collaboration of Artwork and Sports Cards
    op Ink& PAPER The timeless collaboration of artwork and sports cards BY DAVID LEE ports cards, like paintings, have no intrinsic value. Both are simply ink on paper. But as novelist Jerzy Kosiński wrote, “The prin- ciples of true art is not to portray, but to evoke.” SThe same can be said about sports cards. Like art, the value is not in what they’re made of. It’s in what they evoke. It’s how they make you feel. Art and cards are timeless. Both are creative expressions. They mark history and conjure memories. They tell stories and mold culture. To appreciate them requires imagination. Maybe that’s why they have collaborated so naturally for more than a century. From the colorized images on the early 1900s tobacco cards to the widely popular Topps Project 2020 today, sometimes art and sports cards are one in the same. op — 32 ART OF THE GAME — — ART OF THE GAME 33 — Ink& PAPER Launching the Modern Baseball Card op The evolution of baseball cards took a huge leap forward in the early 1950s as Topps and Bowman battled for dominance in the industry. Led by visionary executive Sy Berger, who is referred to as “the father of the modern baseball card,” Topps brought unique size, designs, player stats, and overall beautiful eye appeal to post-World War II baseball cards. Following the groundbreaking 1952 Topps set, the 1953 release derived its images from miniature oil paintings. The result is the most iconic uniting of artwork and sports cards ever produced. “I designed that 1953 card and was instrumental in getting the painting done,” Berger once told Sports Collectors Digest.

From 1920 into the 1950s, summer Sundays in parts of Kansas City revolved around Black baseball games. Families dressed in their best. Crowds by the thousands gravitated to the stadium. Fans watched their Kansas City Monarchs play the Chicago American Giants, the Homestead Grays, or the Newark Eagles. It was more than a joyful day out at the ballgame. It was a celebration. That scene captures the excitement of the "Negro Leagues," as they were known at the time. In that era, segregation policies blocked Black citizens from enjoying many aspects of American life. This included Major League Photo Credit: AP Photo/Matty Baseball. Black baseball teams were a source of fun and community pride. Zimmerman, File In this photo from 1942, Kansas City Chicago-based Andrew "Rube" Foster had the grand vision to launch the Monarchs pitcher Leroy Satchel Negro National League. It started in 1920 with eight teams. In 1933, the Paige warms up before a Negro League game. New Negro National League was founded, followed by the Negro American League. The financial fortunes of the Negro Leagues would ebb and flow over the next three decades. But their popularity and high-level of play stayed strong. Between World War I (1914–1918) and World War II (1939–1945), baseball's place as America's national pastime was indisputable. The segregated Major Leagues fielded Hall of Fame legends like Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and Dazzy Vance.
