The Cult Of Number Oneness - More Strange Motivational Technique, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Who is number one? Numero Uno. Primero. The Top Dog. The Best. The Greatest. This is the issue. This is the prime topic of all those sports talk shows that moan on and on through the long night of multiple time zones across America; Or on the twenty four hours of endless babble networks.

Football And Thanksgiving, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

The History of Thanksgiving and of Football both go back into the Middle Ages, and so it may not be so strange that the two would become intertwined in modern America.

Don Shula's Career Highlights, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Don Shula had his 325th coaching victory in the National Football League last Sunday. He now has one more than George Halas. That's one more than Papa Bear, one of the founders of the NFL who seemed to have coached for centuries.

Odd Stories From The Past Few Weeks, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

At times things seem to get out of focus. Maybe its just the fact that with the World Series over, and the NFL not yet in a full sprint to the finish, and neither basketball or hockey getting much attention, it is just a slow news day, but whatever it is, there seems to be more than the usual amount of goofiness in the air.

The Sports Scene In Russia, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

This is the first year since 1964 that I have not been in the United States for the World Series. This year I left the country in the middle of the series, missing Games Five and Six. Unable to hear or see the final games I settled for BBC radio reports which I heard last Friday afternoon and Sunday morning in Moscow. The reports were sketchy but I did know that Curt Shilling had shut out the Blue Jays 2-0 on Thursday to send the Series back to Toronto.

Proposition 48 And The Black Coaches Association, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Forty members of the Black Coaches Association met in Washington on Tuesday with the members of the Congressional Black Caucus. They addressed such issues as the declining number of scholarships available for basketball, the lack of `black administrators in intercollegiate athletics including the NCAA, and the rising academic requirements for eligibility to compete in intercollegiate athletics.

Baseball Scorebook From Ty Cobb's 1904 Season In Anniston, Alabama, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

The baseball scorecard is one of the wonders of the sportsworld. On two small pages the basic skeleton of a baseball game, inning by inning, is laid out in some detail, and anyone going to it can reconstruct a significant portion of a game. These and other devices, such as the box score, are the essentials of baseball record keeping. A few weeks ago Robert Rivers of the Art Department at the University of Central Florida dropped one such scorecard on my desk, and when I began to explore its contents, I was amazed.

Toronto Blue Jays Seek To Defend - The Greatness Of Dave Stewart, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

When the Toronto Blue Jays went on their pennant drive in September and quickly pulled away from the pretenders in the Eastern Division, it was apparent that they were ready to make a serious run at defending their World Championship, something that hasn't been done since the 1977-78 Yankees. They now have taken the next step in that process by eliminating the Chicago White Sox four games to two, winning all three games played in Chicago.

Baseball Season Ends With Drama - Achievements Of The Season, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

After 161 games the San Francisco Giants entered game 162 knowing that they must win or go home and watch the Atlanta Braves in the playoffs and World Series. They fought back valiantly from their disastrous collapse in early September to win nine of ten games. They were on the verge of sweeping the Dodgers in a four game series, something they had not done since 1923.

Michael Jordan And Baseball, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

It was the opening of the American League Championship Series; the first time the Chicago White Sox had been in the playoffs for ten years. Michael Jordan threw out the ceremonial first pitch. It should have been a great night for the White Sox, Chicago's neglected team. Instead, in the seventh inning word spread across America and across the stadium that the man who threw out the first pitch was about to retire from the Chicago Bulls and the NBA.

Nfl And Notable Holdouts -Olympics Awarded To Beijing, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

The National Football League is heading into its fourth week and I haven't mentioned it yet. This is because Pete Roselle is no longer the Commissioner, and as a result the League has lost some of its majesty. Roselle always had the appearance and bearing of a deity, and this radiated to the League itself. With Pete gone, the NFL looks like just another bunch of mortals making big bucks off the boredom of the populace and the sweat of gladiators. The piety is no longer there.

Mlb Realignment And Expansion, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

The vote was 27-1 with only the Texas Rangers against the proposal. And so next season, if the players agree, there will be three divisions in each league in baseball. Realignment will have been achieved, and there will be another round of playoffs. Player approval is likely, as it was the Player's Association who suggested that it was time for realignment, rather than a second tier of playoffs involving second place teams.

College Football Scandals: Auburn, Washington, Miami, Notre Dame, Minnesota, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Last Saturday you could hear the chant that goes with the tomahawk chop on two networks, and if you were quick with the remote control you could even get them into sequence. The Atlanta Braves were on CBS, while over on ABC the Florida State Seminoles were putting on a clinic for Kansas to open the college football season. As always, Keith Jackson was there with his now familiar, nearly anesthetizing, call of the game. College football and Keith Jackson are nearly one.
