Dodger Stadium

Once out of the Golden Line Metro heading down the dark stair case, the noise starts to increase and a busy walkway opens before our eyes. The clacking of women’s heels, the hushed conversations of business men, the different languages being spokes, suite cases being rolled on the tiled ground, and people embracing each other for the first times in years, make up Union Station. Being one of Los Angeles’ central points, it unites people and takes them on new adventures daily. Now on its 75th…

Collecting baseballs opens up a way to connect not only with history, but also with families and other collectors. The collection I chose to analyze was started in 1987 because of a recommendation of a therapist to find a hobby. The man who started the collection was a military man, a member of the Marine Corps. The therapist suggested finding a hobby so he wouldn’t “bring the Marine Corps home.” That was 28 years ago and the man’s collection has expanded along with that man’s emotional growth.…

sum it up, the ‘game-changer’ was a baseball game that had taken place on July 14, 1948 between the Cleveland Indians and the Brooklyn Dodgers, final score being 4 to 3. A game like this, however, stands out as Satchel Paige, the first black male to play in the American League, played for the Indians as a pitcher. Black people were spread all throughout the stadium, which David didn’t have a problem with, nonetheless. The Cleveland Indians became an integrated team after the event’s occurrence.…

Why were black people segregated from baseball? Today many of the legends and greats we think of were African Americans, and it’s crazy to think they were excluded from the MLB just sixty years ago. They were segregated from anything you can think of at the time, and sports weren’t excluded. No matter if you were an Olympian athlete or a baseball all star chances are you’d end up with a dirty low pay job. So rather than give up the sport they loved and performed well at, they created the Negro…

Breaking The Curse From it’s origination in 1901, the Boston Red Sox has always been one of the most iconic professional baseball teams, even winning the inaugural 1903 World Series (then as the Boston Americans). This fame would only grow in 1914 when they came across a strong left-handed pitcher with an even stronger bat known as George Herman “Babe” Ruth (Britannica 2014). With Ruth, the Red Sox won 515 games and lost 359. They also won 3 World Series in the 6 years in which Ruth played with…
