Sports and African Americans In this period, Satchel Paige and his Negro Baseball All-Star Team were given the opportunity to play the major league champions of baseball, and the Negro Collegiate All-Stars of Football played successive games against the champions of the National Football League. And in sports the contradictions between democratic principles and racial discrimination have been particularly glaring because athletics have been considered a sanctum of sportsmanship and fair play. Despite those ideals, in every avenue of sport, African Americans faced restrictions or were barred outright from participation because of the color of their skin. www.africana.com /research/encarta/tt_616.asp   (1341 words)

Southside Journal Book Reviews He coached baseball and basketball at Bucknell Univ from 1922 to 1926 and baseball at West Point from 1926 to 1936. For me, Chapter 10 on the role of luck or random error was particularly enjoyable as he cogently examines the role of random chance in baseball along with the resistance of fans to acknowledge it. Bill Lee’s The Baseball Necrology is a thoroughly researched book with entries for more than 7,600 dead players, and other significant baseball personalities, that include information on their post-baseball career, death, and burial site. www.southsidejournal.info /reviews.html   (8376 words)

SI.com - Baseball - Baseball historian claims Babe hit 600-footer in Pa. - Friday August 08, 2003 03:42 PM Bill Jenkinson, a prominent baseball historian, has measured a homer that the Great Bambino clobbered after a 1926 exhibition game in Wilkes-Barre as having traveled at least 600 feet and says he believes it to be the longest home run ever hit. He and other baseball experts say home runs of distances are hard to document precisely, though it's fitting that the larger-than-life slugger might have the longest homer. Ruth, apparently awestruck by the feat, is said to have remarked that the ball was the longest he had ever hit, Jenkinson said. sportsillustrated.cnn.com /baseball/news/2003/08/08/ruth_homer_ap   (574 words)

Sam Barry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Barry led the Hawkeye basketball team to Big 10 co-championships in 1923 and 1926 – the first two conference titles in team history – and helped Jones guide the football squad to an undefeated 7-0 season in 1922, winning a share of the Big 10 title – the last for Hawkeyes football until 1956. In addition, Hall of Fame manager Sparky Anderson got his real start in the sport while serving as a USC batboy in the 1940s; 14 of Barry's baseball players went on to appear in the major leagues.
