Abstract:
As a youngster, Art Rust, Jr., one of New York's first prominent black sportscasters, lived on St. Nicholas Avenue, a stone's throw equally from Minton's and Monroe's, the after-hours clubs where Charlie Parker and Thelonious Monk created bebop, and the Polo Grounds, home of the New York Giants. Rust remembered the day in the 1930s when “Billy the Cop,” just off duty, told Rust's father that Giant manager Bill Terry, the last National League player to hit over 400, complained to the precinct commander. Terry didn't want any “nigger cops” patrolling the Polo Grounds, at least not near the executive entrances. Almost twenty years later, in the early 1950s, George Weiss, the general manager of the New York Yankees, a team whose Ruthian dominance prevailed in the Stadium, built with intentional perversity within eyesight of the Polo Grounds just across the East River in the South Bronx, responded to charges that the Yankees had failed to sign black players. In private, Weiss said, “I will never allow a black man to wear a Yankee uniform. Boxholders from Westchester don't want that sort of crowd. They would be offended to have to sit with niggers.” Publicly, in the spring of 1952, he responded that the team had been looking long and hard for a black player, “good enough to make the Yankees.” Weiss's accuser, Jackie Robinson, then entering his sixth season with the Brooklyn Dodgers, rejoined, “Bullshit.”

Abstract:
The New York Yankees donated their financial records to the National Baseball Hall of Fame. These records provide a rare glimpse into the business of professional team sports. I use these records to examine how the Yankees' management reacted to the Great Depression. Since the team possessed both price-setting power over ticket prices andmonopsony power over player salaries, how did the team adjust ticket prices and salaries in response to the falling incomes of its customers and general deflation of the early 1930s? How did the team's response differ from other teams in Major League Baseball?

Abstract:
This study examines both the general narratives of baseball in Taiwan and particularly New York Yankees-related narratives since Taiwanese player Chien-ming Wang joined the team in 2005. By reviewing newspaper coverage and TV ratings data, I argue that a nationalistic perspective was the undertone in the Taiwanese mass media; indeed, the media could define the Yankees as Taiwan’s vicarious national team or the “Evil Empire”, depending on Wang’s current relationship with the Yankees. However, with Wang’s departure from the Yankees, the Yankees have been removed from Taiwan’s nationalistic narratives and returned to being New York’s team. The idea of athletes connecting their homeland and the nation hosting the professional team seemed common and straightforward. However, as the relationship between athletes and their teams change, team-related national narratives can also change.

Abstract:
In 2010, the San Francisco Giants became the first professional team to implement a comprehensive demand-based ticket pricing strategy called dynamic ticket pricing (DTP). In an effort to understand DTP as a price setting strategy, the current investigation explored Giants’ ticket prices during the 2010 season. First, the relationship between fixed ticket prices, dynamic ticket prices, and secondary market ticket prices for comparable seats were examined. In addition, seat location and price changes over time were examined to identify potential effects on ticket price in the primary and secondary market. Giants’ ticket price data were collected for various games throughout the 2010 season. A purposive selection of 12 games, which included (N= 1,316) ticket price observations, were chosen in an effort to include a multitude of game settings. Two ANOVA models were developed to examine price differences based on pricing structure, market, section, and time. Findings showed significant differences between fixed ticket prices, dynamic ticket prices, and secondary market ticket prices, with fixed ticket prices on the low end and secondary market ticket prices on the high end of the pricing spectrum. Furthermore, time was found to have a significant influence on ticket price; however, the influence of time varied by market and seat location. These findings are discussed and both theoretical and practical implications are considered.

Abstract:
The arrival of a new summer collegiate baseball league franchise to a small central New York city was seen as an opportunity for health promotion. The initiative was set up to explore two overarching questions: (1) Are summer collegiate baseball events acceptable to local public health organizations as viable places for health promotion activities addressing local health issues? (2) Are summer collegiate baseball organizations amenable to health promotion activities built in to their fan and/or player experiences? Planning and implementation were guided by precede–proceed, social cognitive theory, social marketing, and diffusion of innovations constructs. Environmental changes were implemented to support healthy eating and nontobacco use by players and fans; four health awareness nights were implemented at home games corresponding to local public health priorities and included public service announcements, between inning quizzes, information dissemination at concession and team market locations, and special guests. Sales and fan feedback support mostly healthy concession offerings and a tobacco-free ballpark; postseason evaluations from team staff and public health partners support continuing the trials of this sports event as a venue for health promotion.

The objective of this study is to explore the effect of “ace relievers” on the baseball team, including the pitcher’s personal performance and contribution to the team record. According to the statistics of relief pitchers’ performance, we established criteria for evaluating ace relievers. In this case study, we collected data regarding Mariano Rivera, a pitcher of the New York Yankees in the Major League Baseball (MLB), from the official websites of Entertainment and Sports Programming Network (ESPN) and MLB. The analysis results are shown below: (1) Taking the 2011 MLB season for example, Rivera was the relief pitcher presenting the best performance among all relievers of MLB. Regarding the 4 evaluation criteria, Rivera led the MLB in the strikeout-to-walk ratio (K/BB), walks plus hits per inning pitched (WHIP), earned run average (ERA), and saves (SV). Exhibiting extraordinary performance in regular and postseason games, Rivera was credited with 603 regular season SVs by 2011 and contributed averagely more than 40% win shares to the team, significantly influencing the team record. (2) After comparing the performance of Rivera with that of relief pitchers of other teams, the MLB’s ace relievers list comprises Mariano Rivera, Jonathan Papelbon and Joe Nathan. (3) Based on the relief pitchers’ performance between 2002 and 2011 shown on the MLB official website, this study proposed the performance criteria for ace relievers after data compilation and organization. An ace reliever must attain at least 37 or more SVs per year, exhibit an excellent capacity to control hits (K/BB) to be 4.5:1 or above, and have WHIP and ERA lower than 1 and 2.5, respectively. Rivera’s performance satisfied the criteria for an ace reliever.

Abstract:
Abstract The 1949-50 season marked the beginning of a decade of stability in the Cuban League that was like no other before in its long history but that led, ironically, to its demise with the advent of the revolution. The period is framed by two victories that rekindled the nationalism that had prevailed in Cuban baseball since the days of Almendares’ victory over a Fe team made up of black Americans, since Mendez’s shutouts of Cincinnati, Torriente’s homers against the New York Giants, and since the triumphs in the Amateur World Series. The first was the already reported win in the inaugural Caribbean Series; the last, the Cuban Sugar Kings’ capture of the 1959 Little World Series against the Minneapolis Millers. The Gran Stadium in Havana was the stage for both. The Little World Series, played to full houses that included a triumphant Fidel Castro, took place less than a year after the revolutionary takeover. The nationalist fervor brought such support to the Sugar Kings that it seemed to herald the coming of majorleague baseball to Havana, the dream of Cuban entrepreneurs since the late forties. It was instead the last hurrah of Cuban professional baseball, in a reversal of epic dimensions and, for many players, tragic consequences.

Abstract:
Abstract On 8 October 1957 the newspapers confirmed what the public suspected. The National League baseball team the Brooklyn Dodgers was moving to Los Angeles. Falling gate receipts at Ebbets Field, which suburban fans found inaccessible, together with the failure of squabbling borough chiefs to agree on a new site for the team, prompted the Dodgers to look elsewhere. Los Angeles, already home to the football Rams, beckoned with an audience of proven sports fans eager for a crack at the national pastime. The advent of nationwide jet passenger service enhanced the city’s chances, and bold action on the part of city leaders clinched the deal. Pointing to land formerly slated for “communistic” public housing, they forced out impoverished squatters and offered the Dodgers a site for their stadium at the heart of the metropolitan network of freeways. The Dodgers’s decision, together with the news that the New York Giants were also moving west, endowed Los Angeles and San Francisco with the mantle of major-league status. In the opinion of many Americans, the cities of the West had finally arrived. To some extent such a perception was accurate. With the passing of each year after 1940, the impact of technology and the flow of government dollars furthered the integration of western cities into the national economy and culture. But to the extent that such a perception implied that cities were new to the West, it was wrong. Western history had had a significant urban dimension from the beginnings of nonnative settlement. What was more, in the nineteenth century and especially in the twentieth, western cities contributed to the shape of the American metropolis, helping to determine what modern-day living is all about.

Abstract:
This chapter opens with the Cooperstown myth, the fiction that baseball was invented in Cooperstown, New York. The myth, however, tells us something about the origins and the enduring ideas of baseball. Despite its development during the Industrial Revolution, baseball is the one major team sport that rejected the icon of industrialism – the clock. A baserunner, in fact, circles the bases counterclockwise, as though to subvert the passage of time. Baseball is also the quintessential immigrant game because it replicates the long odds facing immigrants. It’s the only game where the defense controls the ball, and it’s the object of the offensive player to disrupt the defense’s control of the ball. He’s outnumbered nine to one in that effort; there are only three islands of safety in that alien environment, and the greatest triumph is to return home.

Abstract:
Two professional soccer leagues began play in 1894. The American League of Professional Football was formed by baseball club owners in Boston, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore, and Washington DC. A rival league called the American Association of Professional Football (AAPF) had four teams in Philadelphia, Trenton, Newark, and Paterson, New Jersey. The chapter argues that baseball owners launched a soccer league because they wished to maintain control over professional team sports and viewed it as an additional revenue stream that would allow them to make money year-round. The motivations for launching the AAPF are less clear. Both competitions were failures, shutting down after just weeks, with only twenty-five games played. Ultimately the leagues flopped because of poor organization, low attendance, and higher than expected costs. The failed experiments of 1894 meant that a major, fully professional soccer league would not return to the United States until 1921.

Abstract By the time she was five years old, Donna Lopiano wanted to pitch for the New York Yankees. Far from an idle dream, Lopiano recalled growing up in Stamford, Connecticut, “on a street with 15 boys and one girl” where she prepared for her imagined future, throwing 500 pitches a day against the side of her parents’ garage. “By the time I was 10, I had developed a rising fastball and an impressive curve that would drop off the table, and I was hard at work on a Bob Turley drop,” noted Lopiano. So when it came time for Lopiano to take the ritual first step for an aspiring young baseball player—joining a Little League team—she was more than ready. Lopiano remembers well the Saturday morning she and her friends, all of them boys, went to tryouts. Everyone was nervous, but Lopiano had anticipated this day for years. She was enormously talented, and it soon became apparent that she was the most skilled player in tryouts. She was drafted the number one player. This didn’t surprise her because she knew—as did everyone else—that she was the best.

This chapter describes how Bob Thomas acknowledged the inevitability of Rolf Benirschke returning at some point to compete for his old job. Although the San Diego Chargers' long-time kicker was indeed on his way back, the team still expressed an interest in negotiating a new deal with Thomas. But in deference to Benirschke, Thomas declined the team's qualifying offer and requested his release. It was time for Thomas to head back to the western suburbs of Chicago and resume his law work with the Callahan firm, while also keeping in shape in the hope that another chance would come. The chapter then recounts how Thomas landed at the New York Giants' training camp facilities at Pace University. It also looks at how Thomas became a circuit court judge.

Abstract Like New York City’S Harlem, Kansas City’s 18th and Vine area developed into a self-contained community. During the days of public segregation, the intersection of 18th and Vine served as the hub of a bustling business and entertainment district—the heart and soul of an African American community, bounded by Independence Avenue on the north, Troost Avenue on the west, 27th Street on the south, and Benton Boulevard to the east. Baseball legend and former Kansas City Monarch Buck O’Neil mused that racial segregation in Kansas City “was a horrible thing, but a bitter-sweet thing. We owned the Street’s Hotel. We owned Elnora’s restaurant. The Kansas City Monarchs were our team. The money we made in the community, stayed in the community. When we traveled we spent money in other black communities and it came back when they came to Kansas City. “
