Book Synopsis The Minnesota Twins Through Memorabilia by : Clyde Doepner
Download or read book The Minnesota Twins Through Memorabilia written by Clyde Doepner and published by Nodin Press. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "When the Washington Senators moved to Minnesota before the 1961 season, baseball fans throughout the Upper Midwest were thrilled to have a roster of established stars such as Harmon Killebrew, Bob Allison, and Camilo Pascual on their own major-league team. And over the next half-century, the team gave fans plenty to cheer about. In the pages of this unique book, the sights, sounds, and smells of the ballpark come alive as chapters in the Twins story are told, not chronologically, but through brief essays accompanied by close to 200 color photos of the pennants, jerseys, championship rings, gloves, signed baseballs, ticket stubs, commemorative items, and other pieces of memorabilia the text describes. The early pages cover the period before the Twins arrived, extending back to town ball, minor league teams, and the days of exhibition games and barnstorming tours. In subsequent chapters we relive the Twins' World Series appearances, and also the near misses. Individual achievements and milestones are also on display, from the bat with which Harmon Killebrew hit his 573rd home run, to Rod Carew's spikes and Kirby Puckett's Silver Slugger award. Metropolitan Stadium, the Metrodome, and Target Field define successive eras in Twins history, with memorabilia unique to each. The bobbleheads, Homer Hankies, score cards, and other souvenirs will bring back memories old and new to all fans of the Minnesota Twins and Major League Baseball."--Publisher's website.

Book Synopsis They Played for the Love of the Game by : Frank M. White
Download or read book They Played for the Love of the Game written by Frank M. White and published by Minnesota Historical Society. This book was released on 2016-02-01 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A century before Kirby Puckett led the Minnesota Twins to World Series championships, Minnesota was home to countless talented African American baseball players, yet few of them are known to fans today. During the many decades that Major League Baseball and its affiliates imposed a strict policy of segregation, black ballplayers in Minnesota were relegated to a haphazard array of semipro leagues, barnstorming clubs, and loose organizations of all-black teams—many of which are lost to history. They Played for the Love of the Game recovers that history by sharing stories of African American ballplayers in Minnesota, from the 1870s to the 1960s, through photos, artifacts, and spoken histories passed through the generations. Author Frank White’s own father was one of the top catchers in the Twin Cities in his day, a fact that White did not learn until late in life. While the stories tell of denial, hardship, and segregation, they are highlighted by athletes who persevered and were united by their love of the sport.

Book Synopsis Contemporary Collecting by : Kevin M. Moist
Download or read book Contemporary Collecting written by Kevin M. Moist and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2013-05-09 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the importance of collections has been evident in the sciences and humanities for several centuries, the social and cultural significance of collecting practices is now receiving serious attention as well. As reflected in programs like Antiques Roadshow and American Pickers, and websites such as eBay, collecting has had a consistent and growing presence in popular culture. In tandem with popular collecting, institutions are responding to changes in the collecting environment, as library catalogs go online and museums use new technologies to help generate attendance for their exhibits. In Contemporary Collecting: Objects, Practices, and the Fate of Things, Kevin M. Moist and David Banash have assembled several essays that examine collecting practices on both a personal and professional level. These essays situate collectors and collections in a contemporary context and also show how our changing world finds new meaning in the legacy of older collections. Arranged by such themes as “Collecting in a Virtual World,” “Changing Relationships with Things,” “Collecting and Identity—Personal and Political,” and “Collecting Practices and Cultural Hierarchies,” these essays help illuminate the role of objects in our lives. Covering a breadth of interdisciplinary perspectives and subjects—from PEZ candy dispensers and trading cards to sports memorabilia and music—Contemporary Collecting will be of interest to scholars of cultural studies, anthropology, popular culture studies, sociology, art history, and more.
