    Summary: The Trolley Dodgers

    In 1890, the Brooklyn Trolley Dodgers professionals’ baseball team joined the National League. Over the following years, the Dodgers would have considerable difficulty competing with the other baseball themes in the New York City area. Those teams, principal among them the New York Yankees, were much better financed and generally stocked with players of higher caliber. In 1958, after nearly seven decades of mostly frustration on and off the baseball field, the Dodgers shocked the sports world by moving to Los Angeles. Walter O’Malley, the flamboyant owner of the Dodgers, saw an opportunity to introduce professional baseball to the rapidly growing population of the West Coast. More important, O’Malley saw an opportunity…

    Cartwright's Baseball Changes

    The first references of the game started back in the eighteenth century. Many games like “rounders” and “cricket” were some of the games that influenced baseball. Furthermore, in September of 1845, a group of men founded the New York Knickerbocker Baseball Club. One of the founders, Alexander Joy Cartwright, established a new set of rules that would later shape the game into the modern day version. He set rules like, having a diamond-shaped infield, foul lines, and the notorious “3 strikes and you’re out.” Also while making new rules he eliminated some too. Cartwright made the game safer by eliminating rules like tagging a runner by throwing the ball at them. These changes made the game safer, but also made it faster paced and more challenging.…

    The subject of Dave Barry’s “Batting Clean-Up and Striking Out” is the difference between men and women. Women’s thoroughness cannot be underestimated, in fact, most of housemaids are women. Have you ever cleaned a room that took you two hours to clean, then you ‘’think’’ the room was clean and in perfect condition, suddenly your mom came in and started to pointing out the dirty spots in the room?

    The Dodgers Move West

    Baseball in Brooklyn has been in existence since the 1800s with the Brooklyn Grays, but the name that most people remember when they talk about Brooklyn is the Dodgers. Most people remember the Dodgers for their great play and also for a man by the name of Walter O’Malley on moving the Dodgers to Los Angeles. This move was made possible by the political maneuverings of New York City and Los Angeles, families moving away from big cities to the suburbs, U.S. expansion westward, and other factors like air travel becoming more common. This move had a deep impact on not only the baseball world but on the sports world also.…

    The Collapse Of The Chicago Cubs Major League

    By the fall of 1942, many minor league teams disbanded due to the war. Young men, 18 years of age and over, were being drafted into the armed services. The fear that this pattern would continue and that Major League Baseball Parks across the country were in danger of collapse is what prompted Philip K. Wrigley, the chewing-gum mogul who had inherited the Chicago Cubs' Major League Baseball franchise from his father, to search for a possible solution to this dilemma. Wrigley asked Ken Sells, assistant to the Chicago Cubs' General Manager to head a committee to come up with ideas. The committee recommended a girls' softball league be established to be prepared to go into Major League parks should attendance fall due to franchises losing too many…

    Women in Baseball

    The movie A League of Their Own is a historical movie of the AAGPBL of the 1940’s and 1950’s. While the men were off fighting WWII in Europe and the Pacific, women were put in a difficult position. Should they stay home and continue being the typical house wife or go out and seek jobs, many women went out into the work place and started to work. One job of in particular changed how women were looked at in this country and also kept the greatest sport out there alive, baseball. Its founder however was not a Mr. Harvey founder of Harvey Chocolate bars as the movie says but the founder of Wrigley chewing gum Mr. Philip K. Wrigley. This is one difference in the movie that is rather important. Where there are differencing of the movie and history there are facts, one fact was that their salaries really did range from $45-$85. Another similarity was that the girls of the AAGPBL did indeed have to take classes on how to me a “real” lady and did wear short skirts, for their time, instead of pants. The one rule which Hollywood did get right was that the AAGPBL was strictly for white women only, and the scene with the black women picks the ball up and throws it…

    The Negro Leagues flourished from 1920 to 1951, with the first all-pro African American team actually being formed in 1885.1 From that time period, a handful of players made their way to stardom. Of those players, Satchel Paige, Josh Gibson, and Jackie Robison among others had a monumental impact on the game. However, the separation of the Major Leagues and the Negro Leagues painted a picture of America during the late 40’s and early 50’s. A term known as separate but equal.…
