View From Russia - America's Cup - Ucf Baseball - Basketball Hall Of Fame, Richard C. Crepeau May 1995

View From Russia - America's Cup - Ucf Baseball - Basketball Hall Of Fame, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

It has been a long two weeks away from the sports scene in the United States. It is really amazing how easily you can be cut off from it, and how unimportant it can seem from a distance of several thousands of miles. Out in the Ural region of Russia there is little news of the NBA or NHL playoffs, and little awareness of the intensity of the American sports scene. However one university student did ask me if I was from the same Orlando where the Magic and Shaquille O'Neil played.

100th Birthday Of Babe Ruth, Richard C. Crepeau May 1995

100th Birthday Of Babe Ruth, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

For a diversion last Friday night I headed off to Shea Stadium for the Mets' home opener with the Cardinals. It was a wild one with the Mets coming from behind to win 10-8. But it was even wilder among the fans. There were fights in the stands too numerous to count, including a evening ending brawl down the left field line that send two fans out on strechers with bandaged heads. No fewer that seven different game stoppages came as fans ran on the field. Some went to center field, one came sliding home, one literally stole third base …

Little League And The Death Of Play, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

There has been a commercial running on the tube the past few months in which a young father is sitting at a Little League baseball game with a cellular telephone. After the kid comes to bat and gets a hit dad dials up mom and passes on the news. High tech has come to Little League baseball. Dad can connect Mom to the game instantaneously, and of course in the World of TV the news is good. The kid gets a base hit. In the next version mom will run to the computer and send the news to grandma on …

In Memoriam: Howard Cossell, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

There are nearly a half-dozen stories coming to focus over this past week that could be the subject of this week's commentary. Then Sunday morning came the news that Howard Cosell had died in New York during the night at age 77. He had been fighting a number of ailments over the past few years as he had faded from public view. The last significant public attention came a few months ago when he was given a richly deserved tribute at the ESPY awards.

Boston Marathon With The Red Sox, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Last Monday was Patriot's Day in Boston, the day of the Boston Marathon. For who knows how long now, the Red Sox have played an early afternoon game in the shadow of the Marathon. It seemed almost unnatural to watch those marathon highlights and not see them followed by scenes from Fenway Park.

The Baseball Strike, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

After nearly eight months, some 232 days after it began, the strike by major league baseball players ended not at the bargaining table, but as the result of a judicial ruling by the youngest judge in the Southern District of New York. At age forty Judge Sonia Sotomayor is the first Puerto Rican appointed to the bench in this predominantly Puerto Rican district. A Yale Law Graduate, who grew up in South Bronx just a few blocks from Yankee Stadium, she was appointed to the bench by former Yale first-baseman George Bush on the recommendation of Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, …

Cbs And The Ncaa Lovefest, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

This year it's the Road to Seattle. And as usual the Road goes through CBS television in New York because in 1989 CBS paid the NCAA $1B(or $143M per year) to guarantee their right to televise all-rounds of the NCAA tournament to the entire nation for seven years. That translated almost immediately into an increase of $30M in annual revenues for CBS, a bonanza of profits for the NCAA, and in 1990 $1.37M for each of the final four teams. Basketball's Final Four is the biggest money machine owned by the NCAA.

The Two Michaels: Jordan And Tyson, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

It may or may not be the best of times or the worst of times, but it is a Tale of Two Michaels. This week marks the return of the two Michaels, Jordan and Tyson, to the spotlight in sportsworld. The return of either one would be a major story, but the return of both in one week is a bonanza. The two Michaels also offer two very different stories of departure and return, and no doubt both evoke a wide range of emotions.

"Cobb" Flim Review, Richard C. Crepeau Mar 1995

"Cobb" Flim Review, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

Was he the greatest ballplayer of all time? He thought so and told everyone who would and would not listen that he was. In the first voting for entrance into the Hall of Fame Ty Cobb out-polled all his rivals. Ernest Hemmingway thought so, calling him "the greatest of all ballplayers-and an absolute shit." In the film "Cobb" starring Tommy Lee Jones the later part of Hemmingway's assessment of the Georgia Peach is illustrated better than the former.

Have you Atlanta Braves fans noticed how well Krause is doing at shortstop? Did anyone see the box from the Mets-Yankees game last Sunday? What a line-up! They say that Newman may be the new DiMaggio, and that Jensen might be the new Seaver. And boy don't those San Francisco Giants look tough again this year with Ortman in center and Morrow in right? And of course the Blue Jays are still the defending World Champions, and they look like they are loaded with new talent. And even if they win it all, the World Championship will still come south …

Baseball And Replacement Players Don't Mix, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

If it's true that if you want to understand America you must understand baseball, we could be in big trouble as no one seems to understand the nonsense that is developing in spring training the past few weeks. On the other hand if baseball is a mirror of American culture, what we see in that mirror today cannot be reassuring.
