    Extractions: 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 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.

    Extractions: 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. 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.

    Extractions: 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.” 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.

    Extractions: In 1905, a commission headed by Al Spalding wrongly credited Doubleday with inventing the game of baseball in in Cooperstown, New York in 1839. Doubleday was actually a cadet at West Point when he was alleged to have mapped out the first baseball diamond, and after graduating in 1842 he enjoyed a distinguished military career. He fought in Mexico as well as the Civil War, eventually becoming a major general. SHOPPING Your purchases keep BaseballLibrary.com online. Thank you! The commission was convinced of Doubleday's role by the testimony of an elderly gentleman named Abner Graves, who claimed to be a childhood playmate of Doubleday's and present when the game was invented. Graves's story was later "verified" by the discovery of a rotting baseball among his personal effects. That ball became known as "The Doubleday Baseball" and remains on display at the Hall of Fame. Doubleday left behind numerous diaries and never claimed to have invented baseball, yet he remains one of the game's great mythological figures. The annual Hall of Fame Game is played each summer at Doubleday Field in Cooperstown. (SCL) FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY

As the popularity of the game grew, baseball was then presented to Ashevillians as an exhibition or demonstration sport. In fact, the largest crowd to ever witness a game in the city might have come during a Fourth of July celebration in 1893. For it was then, at Carrier’s Track, that natives witnessed foot races, dog races, horse races and a two-inning exhibition game. And believe it or not, the overflow crowd saw a game that pitted the "We-Un’s" versus the "You-Un’s," showing just how far we’ve come since the early beginnings. It sounds almost to good to be true, but the first organized professional baseball team in the city of Asheville was none other than the 1897 Asheville Moonshiners. Baseball had been played as a "club" sport in the mid-90’s, before the inception of the Moonshiners, who played in the Southeastern League.

38. SI.com - MLB - Pittsfield Stakes Its Claim In Baseball History - Tuesday May 11,
    Pittsfield stakes its claim in baseball history. Posted Tuesday May 11, 2004 240PM; Updated Tuesday May 11, 2004 240PM.  
    http://www.cnnsi.com/2004/baseball/mlb/05/11/bc.bbo.baseball.sbirthp.ap/
    
    Extractions: The evidence comes in a 1791 by-law that aims to protect the windows in Pittsfield's new meeting house by prohibiting anyone from playing baseball within 80 yards of the building. Historian John Thorn was doing research on the origins of baseball when he found a reference to the by-law in an 1869 book on Pittsfield's history. He shared his find with former Major Leaguer and area resident Jim Bouton , who told city officials about the ordinance. A librarian found the actual document in a vault at the Berkshire Athenaeum library. Its age was authenticated by researchers at the Williamstown Art Conservation Center. "It's clear that not only was baseball played here in 1791, but it was rampant," Thorn said. "It was rampant enough to have an ordinance against it." The long-accepted story of baseball's origins centers around Cooperstown, N.Y., where Doubleday is said to have come up with the rules for the modern game in 1839. That legend long legitimized the National Baseball Hall of Fame's presence in Cooperstown, although later evidence pointed to the first real game being played in Hoboken, N.J., in 1846.
