Dugout Newsbeat
Friday, January 20, 2012Primer Dugout (and link of the day) 1-20-2012Providence Evening Tribune, January 20, 1912:
As it turns out, organized baseball did exactly what it should have done with regard to the Columbian League: They sat back and watched it collapse all by itself before it ever played a game. The postscript, though, is that John T. Powers spent the next offseason getting the Federal League off the ground. The Federal League, of course, eventually led to Federal Baseball Club v. National League, which indeed revolved around baseball and the Sherman Act. Jefferson Manship (Dan Lee)

Lamy won. He was a pretty good ballplayer - hit .320 with doubles power in Class B ball as a 23-year-old, but his baseball career ended with a broken collarbone. After his baseball career and a stint in the military during World War I, Lamy went on to become a legendary speed skater and barrel jumper. Jefferson Manship (Dan Lee)

I get the impression Chesty Cox would have been a fun guy to hang out with, just so you could hear him talk like this all the time. Yes, there was actually a person named Chesty Cox. I looked it up, and I made sure not to do so from my work computer. I didn’t want to be responsible for what Google found. Jefferson Manship (Dan Lee)

Ty Cobb may have been a jerk, he may have been a racist, and he might just be the least likeable superstar in the history of the sport. He was also prescient. Jefferson Manship (Dan Lee)

Bryan got crushed in the presidential election of 1908. Griffith had left the Reds over the offseason of 1911-12 to become the manager of the hapless Senators. Not sure what Mackay’s beef was with King Frederick VIII. As kings go, he seems to have been reasonably okay. Is that a Hamlet reference? Jefferson Manship (Dan Lee)

Ashenbach died a little over a year later. He was a rarity in the early 20th century: A well-respected and successful minor league manager who appears not to have played pro baseball. He owned two teams in the South Atlantic League and, unless some sort of early 20th century comedy style eludes me, was also a bowler. Alas, I can’t find specific examples of his clowning.
