Book Synopsis Baseball Scorecard Book by : Thomas Publications

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Baseball scorekeeping is the practice of recording the details of a baseball game as it unfolds. Professional baseball leagues hire official scorers to keep an official record of each game (from which a box score can be generated), but many fans keep score as well for their own enjoyment. Scorekeeping is usually done on a printed scorecard and, while official scorers must adhere precisely to one of the few different scorekeeping notations, most fans exercise some amount of creativity and adopt their own symbols and styles.

Download or read book Issei Baseball written by Robert K. Fitts and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2020-04-01 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Baseball has been called America’s true melting pot, a game that unites us as a people. Issei Baseball is the story of the pioneers of Japanese American baseball, Harry Saisho, Ken Kitsuse, Tom Uyeda, Tozan Masko, Kiichi Suzuki, and others—young men who came to the United States to start a new life but found bigotry and discrimination. In 1905 they formed a baseball club in Los Angeles and began playing local amateur teams. Inspired by the Waseda University baseball team’s 1905 visit to the West Coast, they became the first Japanese professional baseball club on either side of the Pacific and barnstormed across the American Midwest in 1906 and 1911. Tens of thousands came to see “how the minions of the Mikado played the national pastime.” As they played, the Japanese earned the respect of their opponents and fans, breaking down racial stereotypes. Baseball became a bridge between the two cultures, bringing Japanese and Americans together through the shared love of the game. Issei Baseball focuses on the small group of men who formed the first professional and semiprofessional Japanese baseball clubs. These players’ story tells the history of early Japanese American baseball, including the placement of Saisho, Kitsuse, and their families in relocation camps during World War II and the Japanese immigrant experience.

Book Synopsis Let There Be Baseball by : Arthur G. Sharp
Download or read book Let There Be Baseball written by Arthur G. Sharp and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2023-11-06 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taken for granted by fans today, Sunday baseball was made possible only after decades of contention between evangelical Sabbatarians seeking enforcement of antiquated "blue laws," and an alliance of "Pro-Sabs" who prevailed against them with strategy and tenacity. At the heart of the struggle was a debate over the First Amendment and the place of religion in public life. Drawing on case records, this book details the legal and political battles and describes the roles of the judges, law enforcement officers and politicians, and the ordinary citizens who wanted to enjoy baseball on Sunday. The contributions of unheralded civil rights pioneers--such as Joe Neet, John Powell and Lewis Perrine--are documented.

Book excerpt: When Quint and Rishy Studer attended a Pensacola Pelicans independent-league baseball game in 2002, the couple had no idea what would come next: an investment in Minor League Baseball that eventually led to a gorgeous bayfront ballpark, a revitalization of downtown Pensacola and the building of the Pensacola Blue Wahoos both on and off the field.Their journey is told in Living the Wahoos Life, an intimate account of how the Blue Wahoos came to be. It's a journey featuring big and small victories both on and off the field, as the Studers and their community owners worked to create the best baseball experience possible while extending that commitment to downtown Pensacola and the greater community.And, lest we forget, plenty of baseball memories were created along the way, beginning with inaugural Blue Wahoos Didi Gregorious and Billy Hamilton in 2012 to future superstars like Luis Arraez to notable managers like Pat Kelly and Jody Davis. Former Voice of the Blue Wahoos Tommy Thrall shares his favorite moments with the team, including Tyler Mahle's perfect game (and other no-hitters), the 2017 Southern League Championship and what is perhaps the most exciting play in baseball: a Billy Hamilton inside-the-park home run.You'll meet the folks who make the Blue Wahoos experience a special one, ranging from front-office personnel to ballpark ushers to the complete ownership roster, which includes Bubba Watson and Derrick Brooks. You'll see behind the scenes of a team where the emphasis is on the best fan experience possible. Best of all, you'll reminisce about the great memories created on Pensacola's bayfront ballpark-and prepare yourself for the next decade of baseball memories.

Book Synopsis Early Baseball in New Orleans by : S. Derby Gisclair
Download or read book Early Baseball in New Orleans written by S. Derby Gisclair and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2019-03-11 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1800s, New Orleans' local economy evolved from rural-agrarian into urban-industrial. With this transformation came newfound leisure time, which birthed the concept of organized sport. Though first considered a game for children, baseball became New Orleans' most popular pastime, and by 1859, numerous baseball clubs had been established in the city. This book traces the development of baseball in New Orleans from its earliest recorded games in 1859 through the end of the 19th century, with a particular focus on the New Orleans Pelicans.
Book Synopsis Baseball Team Names by : Richard Worth
Download or read book Baseball Team Names written by Richard Worth and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2013-02-21 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professional baseball is full of arcane team names. The Los Angeles Dodgers, for instance, owe their nickname to the trolley tracks that honeycombed Brooklyn in the early 1880s. (Residents were "trolley dodgers.") From the Negro Leagues, there were the Pittsburgh Crawfords (sponsored early by the Crawford Bath House and Recreation Center); from the minors, the Tucson Waddies (slang for cowboy) and, later, the Montgomery Biscuits (for the would-be concessions staple); from overseas, the Adelaide, Australia, Bite (a shark reference but also a pun for bight) and the Bussum, Netherlands, Mr. Cocker HCAW (the sponsoring restaurant chain, followed by the acronym for the official team name, Honkbalclub Allan Weerbaar). This comprehensive reference book explains the nicknames of thousands of major and minor league franchises, Negro League and early independent black clubs, and international teams--from 1869 through 2011.

Book Synopsis The Team That Forever Changed Baseball and America by : Society for American Baseball Research (SABR)
Download or read book The Team That Forever Changed Baseball and America written by Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2012-04-01 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of all the teams in the annals of baseball, only a select few can lay claim to historic significance. One of those teams is the 1947 Brooklyn Dodgers, the first racially integrated Major League team of the twentieth century. The addition of Jackie Robinson to its roster changed not only baseball but also the nation. Yet Robinson was just one member of that memorable club, which included Carl Furillo, Gil Hodges, Pee Wee Reese, Pete Reiser, Duke Snider, Eddie Stanky, Arky Vaughan, and Dixie Walker. Also present was a quartet of baseball’s most unforgettable characters: co-owners Branch Rickey and Walter O’Malley, suspended manager Leo Durocher, and radio announcer Red Barber. This book is the first to offer biographies of everyone on that incomparable team as well as accounts of the moments and events that marked the Dodgers’ 1947 season: Commissioner Happy Chandler suspending Durocher, Rickey luring his old friend Burt Shotton out of retirement to replace Durocher, and brilliant outfielder Reiser being sidelined after running into a fence. In spite of all this, the Dodgers went on to win the National League pennant over the heavily favored St. Louis Cardinals. And of course, there is the biggest story of the season, where history and biography coalesce: Jackie Robinson, who overcame widespread hostility to become Rookie of the Year—and to help the Dodgers set single-game attendance records in cities around the National League.
