History of the MLB All-Star game - 2001 AMERICAN LEAGUE 4, NATIONAL LEAGUE 1 Why the American League won: A combination of great pitching and the long ball helped lead the A.L. to its fifth consecutive All-Star victory and 11th in 14 games. Three of the A.L.’s four runs came on solo homers by Cal Ripken Jr., Derek Jeter and Magglio Ordonez, who was the only player for either team to have two hits. Meanwhile, A.L. pitchers held N.L. batters to just three hits. Why the National League lost: While their pitchers prevented A.L. hitters from putting together a big inning, three of the eight hits they allowed were homers. And the N.L.’s own offense was anemic. The senior circuit had only three hits-two singles and a double-and didn’t have a runner reach base until Luis Gonzalez led off the fourth inning with a single. The 3-4-5 spots in the N.L. lineup went a combined 0-for-12. Turning Points The A.L. got on the scoreboard in the third inning when Ripken, playing in his 18th and final All-Star Game, hit a solo homer to left field on the first pitch he saw from Chan Ho Park to give the A.L. a lead it would never surrender. Ripken received a thunderous standing ovation from the crowd at Seattle’s Safeco Field and eventually was named All-Star Game MVP.

Read our award-winning article on that subject Who was the first African American to play in the major leagues? The Walker brothers, Fleet and Welday, played for Toledo of the American Association in 1884. From then on black players were barred from the mainstream major league teams. A few light-skinned Latin players did play in the majors in the 1890-1930 period. In 1947 Jackie Robinson broke the "unwritten" color barrier when he debuted with the Brooklyn Dodgers. Within months Larry Doby (Cleveland) joined him and by the late 1940s and early 1950s most teams had at least one black player. The Boston Red Sox were the last major league team to integrate, in 1959. Who was the last pitcher legally allowed to throw a spitball in the major leagues? Burleigh Grimes, the Hall of Fame hurler of the Brooklyn Dodgers, was the last of 17 men who were allowed by baseball to throw the spit ball, in a ruling made in 1920. Those pitchers could throw the pitch the remainder of their careers, and on September 20, 1934, Grimes pitched one inning, striking out the last batter he ever faced - Joe Stripp. The other 17 men allowed to throw the legalized spitter were Doc Ayers, Bill Doak, Phil Douglas, Dana Fillingim, Ray Fisher, Ray Caldwell, Stan Coveleski, Red Faber, Hub Leonard, Jack Quinn, Marv Goodwin, Clarence Mitchell, Dick Rudolph, Allan Russell, Urban Shocker and Allen Sothoron.

Sports History Alpha Index Index by Sport History Bits Forum ... Search Baseball: "Invention" and Early Growth (1845-1869) In 1842, a group of young professionals began meeting regularly to play baseball on a field at 47th Avenue and 27th Street in Manhattan. Three years later, they formed the Knickerbocker Base Ball Club , evidently at the suggestion of Alexander Cartwright , the owner of a book and stationery store who had once been a volunteer fireman with the Knickerbocker Engine Company. A four-man committee was appointed to draft a constitution and by-laws. Cartwright and the committee's president, Daniel L. "Doc" Adams, did most of the work on the by-laws, which became baseball's first formal rules. The rules called for four bases in a square, 42 paces (about 126 feet) on each diagonal. The batter was placed at the fourth base, which was renamed "home." "Soaking" was eliminated; a runner had to be tagged or forced out. The batter was out if his batted ball was caught on the fly or on first bounce. The new rules also established three strikes for an out and three outs in a half-inning. A game lasted until one team scored twenty-one runs, or "aces" as they were then called.

Home Page Search Delaware Government Tourism, Travel, Outdoors ... Community Interest Links " A PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL HISTORY " By John H. Duffy On a muddy abandoned industrial lot in south Wilmington in late October 1992, a small hastily gathered contingent of investors, politicians, contractors and the press gathered to break ground for a $6 Million ballpark. It was the culmination of a five year effort that had endured many setbacks and much opposition. It was the beginning of a breakneck construction project that in less than six months would see the fabulously successful return of professional baseball to Wilmington for the first time in 41 years. All of those present knew that the new team would take up the name of that last team, the Blue Rocks of the old Interstate League which had given up the ghost in 1952. Few however would know that when the home opener scheduled for April of 1993 finally came to pass, 110 years had passed since that spring of 1883 when Wilmington had first known professional baseball. The Wilmington fans cheered that following spring of 1993 as Whiz Kid hall of famer Robin Roberts threw out the first pitch to inaugurate the return of the Blue Rocks before a sell-out crowd. Many knew or had been reminded that Roberts had begun his professional career right here in Wilmington with "the Old Blue Rocks".

Developed in collaboration with the Nisei Baseball Research Project, Diamonds in the Rough: Japanese Americans in Baseball tells the one hundred year history of baseball in Japanese American communities. This is an amazing chapter in history and we hope to continue our research so we can keep these stories alive. If you have photos, newspaper clippings, or memories that you wish to share with us, we would love to hear from you. Please e-mail, write, or call us. Contact: Gary Otake, 1684 Post Street, San Francisco, CA 94115, (415) 921-5007, gary@momomedia.com Colo A Century of Japanese American Baseball by Gary T. Otake Introduction Baseball, it is said, is the sport which mirrors our nation’s soul. It is our hallowed "national pastime," the game which represents the best that America has to offer: democracy, fair play, and equal opportunity. In fact, baseball and America are so intertwined that many believe we cannot know one without the other. "Whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America," so the saying goes, "had better learn baseball." For many who have taken the challenge to understand the "heart and mind of America," baseball has indeed proven to be fertile ground. Within the microcosm of baseball, we discover stories far more compelling than the box scores reveal. We can see into the far corners of our nation’s past and witness the deeds of heroes, villains, and everyday people. We learn of the struggles of war and building a nation, and of the extremes of economic depression and fabulous wealth. Through baseball, we learn of our aspirations and triumphs, our shortcomings and fears, our hopes and our dreams.

News Teams Players Foreigners ... Past stars History BayStars BlueWave Buffaloes Carp ... Nihongo Japanese baseball history Even before the establishment of their first professional league in 1936, baseball had been played in Japan for over a half-century. Introduced by American teachers and professors in the 1870s, Japanese baseball evolved apart from the game played in the United States. Primarily used as a "teaching" tool, baseball during those early years was played rigidly, as if it were a martial art through which players strengthened themselves physically and mentally. Smaller than their foreign counterparts, many Japanese felt they could eventually catch up with enough training and determination. Managers frequently claimed if their players didn't bleed, they weren't practicing hard enough. Despite occasional tours of Major League ball clubs and all-star teams, baseball in Japan was largely limited to high school and college games. Probably an even bigger event than today's Japan Series, the annual National High School Baseball Tournament started in 1915. So established had amateur baseball become that some thought the idea of playing the sport for money profane. But in December 1934, Yomiuri Shimbun owner Matsutaro Shoriki founded the Great Japan Tokyo Baseball Club, which he renamed the Tokyo Kyojin (Giants) the following year.

News Teams Players Foreigners ... Giants Hawks Lions Marines Swallows Tigers ... Nihongo Fukuoka Daiei Hawks history Every year from 1978 to 1997, the Hawks either finished in last place or in the bottom half of the Pacific League standings. But in 1999, the team played as if they had gone 43 years back in time, to a year when they put an era of losing behind them and emerged as one of the strongest teams in Japan. Established in 1938, the team struggled in its early years, finishing with a winning record only once before the end of the Second World War. In 1940, the Hawks earned their worst record (28-71) in franchise history. Owned by Nankai until 1989 the team carried the name of its parent company except for a few years when the club was known as Kinki Nihon (1944), and Kinki Great Ring (1946-47). In 1947, the franchise was renamed the Nankai Hawks. The more important change after the war, however, was the promotion of Kazuto Tsuruoka (also known as Kazuto Yamamoto for part of his career) to the rank of player-manager. Batting .314 and leading the league in RBIs, the third baseman led the Hawks to their first league title in 1946. Even though his playing career ended in 1952, Tsuruoka remained as Nankai's manager until 1968. In his twenty-eight years as manager, the team only compiled one losing season. When the two league system was formed in 1950, Nankai joined the Pacific League with several other Kansai (Osaka-area) teams. Although the Mainichi Orions won the league's first pennant, the Hawks compiled a 72-24 record in 1951 to earn their first of three consecutive league titles. But each year, Nankai lost to the Central League champion Yomiuri Giants in the Japan Series.

36. Negro Leagues Baseball History Early baseball history Americans began playing baseball in the early 1800s on For more info on the history of baseball visit http//www.sabr.org http://www.nlbpa.com/history.html

Site Search: ALL words ANY words Early Baseball History: Americans began playing baseball in the early 1800s on informal teams and using local rules. By the 1860s, the sport, unrivaled in popularity, was being described as America's “national pastime.” Alexander Cartwright published a set of baseball rules for the Knickerbocker Club of New York, and his rules were widely adopted. The Cincinnati Red Stockings became the first salaried team and are thus considered the first professional team. The first professional baseball league, the National Association of Professional Base Ball Players, was established. The first major league, the National League, was formed. Negro Baseball Beginnings: Negro Americans played baseball throughout the 1800’s, and by the 1860’s notable black amateur teams such as the Colored Union Club, in Brooklyn and the Pythian Club, in Philadelphia had formed. All-black professional teams began in the 1880s, among them the St. Louis Black Stockings and the Cuban Giants (of New York). Reflecting American society in general, amateur and professional baseball remained largely segregated During the 1890s, most professional black players were limited to playing in exhibition games on "colored" teams on the barnstorming circuit. Players on major league teams also barnstormed in cities and towns after the regular season was over. In some places black teams and white teams played each other, and some blacks played for all-black teams in otherwise all-white leagues.

Baseball History A look at the history of baseball and other stuff through the astigmatic eye of Jon Daly Saturday, March 20, 2004 Moose Clabaugh In 1926, Moose Clabaugh hit 62 home runs for the Tyler Trojans of the Class D East Texas League. This feat broke the record set the previous year when Tony Lazzeri hit 60 at Salt Lake City. Tony had the advantage of 200 games that year; roughly half of them at an altitude of 4,400 feet. Moose hit hid 62 in 121 games; averaging more than one homer every to games. This earned Clabaugh a callup to Brooklyn, where he went 1 for 14. It was his only big league experience. I stumbled across Clabaugh's story while reading the 1995 edition of Baseball Research Journal last year. Wanting to know more about the man, I queried some SABR members about him. As it turns out, there is an essay about him in an upcoming book. Ninety Feet from Fame : Close Calls with Baseball Immortality will be released this spring. According to the books description, Journalist and baseball historian Mike Robbins tells the gripping stories of dozens of players who came this (hold fingers only slightly apart) close to baseball immortality. Robbins was kind enough to allow me to excerpt his section on Moose Clabaugh here. Enjoy.
