1917 World Series by Baseball Almanac 1917 had been a year of many firsts including the first back-to-back no-hitters ever thrown in the American League. One other notable event took place during the 1917 Series as Olympic athlete and football star Jim Thorpe made the only postseason "appearance" of his Major League career in Game 5. Listed as the Giants' #6 man in the line-up, the right-handed Thorpe was strategically removed for the left-handed pinch-hitter, Robertson after Chicago lifted lefty Reb Russell in favor of righty Eddie Cicotte. www.baseball-almanac.com /ws/yr1917ws.shtml   (544 words)

World Series : A Comprehensive History of the World Series by Baseball Almanac The World Series is the crushing blow of Fred Snodgrass dropping a routine fly ball and Willie McCovey hitting the final out straight to Bobby Richardson. The inaugural World Series of 1903 was a resounding success and represented the first step in healing the bruised egos of both the veteran National and fledgling American Leagues. In 1884, the Providence Grays of the National League outplayed the New York Metropolitan Club of the American Association in a three game series for what was originally called "The Championship of the United States." Several newspapers penned the Grays as "World Champions" and the new title stuck. www.baseball-almanac.com /ws/wsmenu.shtml   (544 words)

Connie Mack The BASEBALL Page Connie Mack pieced together a tremendous baseball team in the first decade of the 20th century, built in large part, around his famous "$100,000 Infield." At the time, Mack claimed that even that lofty dollar-amount would not pry the four star players away from him. Barry was known as a clutch hitter despite his.243 career average — no AL shortstop drove in more runs than he did from 1909 to 1917. He was rumored to have kept frozen baseballs handy to insert into the game when his pitcher's were on the mound. www.thebaseballpage.com /past/pp/mackconnie   (2035 words)

Ultimate Sacrifice When America entered the Great War in April 1917, Grant had every reason to watch from the bleachers: at 33 and more than a year out of baseball, he was beyond the draft's reach, working as a lawyer in New York City. Eddie Grant had been in France the length of a baseball season, and now was the time of year—the first week of October 1918—when his attention would normally have turned toward the World Series. Eddie Grant and the men of his weary infantry company roused themselves from their damp sleep beside a muddy stream. www.smithsonianmag.si.edu /smithsonian/issues04/oct04/grant.html   (335 words)

Shakespeare in Sports Wayne and Shuster’s The Shakespearean Baseball Game was first presented in 1958 on The Ed Sullivan Show, and became their most popular sketch on both sides of the border. Although the word “sport” is used frequently by Shakespeare, he doesn’t use it in the sense of “an activity involving physical exertion and skill, [especially] one in which an individual competes against another or others to achieve the best performance,” a meaning that had been in use from early in the sixteenth century (OED). Instead, he uses sport to describe, among others, a diversion, pastime, amusement or pleasure; a jest; hunting; war and fighting; gambling; “amourous dallying”; and, in a usage specific to the late sixteenth-century, a play or theatrical performance (Schmidt 1104-05). www.canadianshakespeares.ca /multimedia/imagegallery/m_i_sports.cfm   (601 words)

On the other hand, American sports are filled with records of African American athletes capable of participating in the broad sports arena but not given the chance due to their race. www.liu.edu /cwis/cwp/library/aaitsa.htm   (14867 words)

World Series BaseballLibrary.com The 1917 Series was memorable for Giants third baseman Heinie Zimmerman 's futile chase to home plate of Eddie Collins as the White Sox took the lead in the Series clincher; neither catcher Lew McCarty nor pitcher Rube Benton covered home. Dave Robertson, the NL's leading home run hitter with 12, triples and scores the first of two 4th-inning runs for a 2–0 New York win. Also, when 2B Dave Shean bats for Boston, he becomes the oldest player (40 years, three months, 18 days) to play in the World Series, a mark other graybeards will top. www.baseballlibrary.com /baseballlibrary/ballplayers/S/Series_World.stm   (339 words)

Dave Henderson BaseballLibrary.com June 29, 1990: Oakland's Dave Stewart and the Dodgers Fernando Valenzuela both throw no-hitters today, the first time this has happened since Hippo Vaughan and Fred Toney 's double no-hitter in 1917. Stewart blanks the Blue Jays 5–0, and a few hours later Valenzuela beats the Cardinals 6–0. California ties the score with a run in the bottom of the 9th but Henderson, who had appeared to be the goat when he dropped Bobby Grich 's long fly ball over the fence for a home run in the 7th inning, delivers a sacrifice fly in the 11th for the winning run. www.baseballlibrary.com /baseballlibrary/ballplayers/H/Henderson_Dave.stm   (339 words)

Among the latter group I would include those pitchers who made the Sickels and Baseball America lists twice, and there were 11 who did that from 1996 through 2000.

USATODAY.com - Iced NHL season has everyone spinning The NHL survived a flu epidemic, World War II, challenges by the World Hockey Association, lack of television exposure, potential league bankruptcy in the 1970s and several team bankruptcies to play continuously since 1917. The National Hockey League, which says it lost $224 million last season, becomes the first major sport to cancel an entire season because of a labor conflict and the first not to crown a champion since Major League Baseball lost the 1994 World Series to a strike. Officials from NHL teams argued that once a cap is established, fans begin to pressure teams to spend near the cap. www.usatoday.com /sports/hockey/nhl/2005-02-16-cancellation-cover_x.htm   (1784 words)
