African Americans were not allowed to compete with white Americans and the white Americans would refuse to compete against African Americans. But some African Americans were determined to be able to play sports and resulted in the creation of the Negro National League of Baseball. ]]> 2016-12-05 13:16:07 UTC https://padlet.com/laatcheson/8kh9dyjs608p/wish/141718363 laatcheson https://padlet.com/laatcheson/8kh9dyjs608p/wish/141720387 In the 1920's, time was spent thinking about social change and prosperity. Many Americans, for the first time, had more time for leisure and less time working. A lot of rural Americans finally got to experience the social ethnicity that many created and allowed them to endure into radio shows, read newspapers, and go to events, such like sport events. Baseball, boxing, basketball and football were the most publicizes sporting events but also brought interest into ice hockey, tennis, golf and swimming. ]]> 2016-12-05 13:23:05 UTC https://padlet.com/laatcheson/8kh9dyjs608p/wish/141720387 laatcheson https://padlet.com/laatcheson/8kh9dyjs608p/wish/141721816 Advertising- sporting events during this time would advertise different products and businesses to help them with marketing.

Ruth played 22 seasons in the MLB and started playing as a left hand pitcher for the Boston Red Soxs. He had a career record of 714 home runs and thousands of RBI. IN 1936, Ruth was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. I think that Ruth spent his life dedicated to baseball and had great success in it. During his many years in the sports, playing for many different teams, he proved to people that if you set your dreams to something, you can get it done. In his farewell speech in 1947, ruth talked about how if you wanted to become a baseball player like him, you need to start playing young, at around 5 to 6 years of age. He always encouraged others to make sure to believe in their beliefs for what they are and to never change becsaue some might be different.

"You just can't beat the person who never gives up." - Babe Ruth]]> 2016-12-05 20:17:16 UTC https://padlet.com/laatcheson/8kh9dyjs608p/wish/141874716 laatcheson https://padlet.com/laatcheson/8kh9dyjs608p/wish/141874937 In this primary source, the author says that there were way to many home runs in the 1924 baseball seasons. There was a recorded 976 home runs between the American and National Leagues. The author says this isn't fair because the game is becoming to easy and that further into the years, the entire game is going to be played through homers. He says the solutions are that they should expand all the baseball parks so the fields are large and harder to make a home run possible. But then he resulted in saying that it would cost way to much money and that it would take to long to do because baseball will still need to be played during the construction and it would cause to much disturbance. I think the author has a good point because the game was becoming to easy and it would not be fun to watch and would result in not a lot of people being interested in baseball anymore. ]]> 2016-12-05 20:17:55 UTC https://padlet.com/laatcheson/8kh9dyjs608p/wish/141874937 mkemery1 https://padlet.com/laatcheson/8kh9dyjs608p/wish/141881289 We chose this topic of today because Colin Kaepernick is doing what he believes is the right thing by not standing up during the national anthem cause he doesn't feel like everyone is not having equal rights in the world. He protesting that the National Anthem isn't being fulfilled by how racism is brought upon in the the world, especially America. He wants to bring attention to the issue and show his dominance over it and he is willing to fight for anti-racism. ]]> 2016-12-05 20:42:39 UTC https://padlet.com/laatcheson/8kh9dyjs608p/wish/141881289 laatcheson https://padlet.com/laatcheson/8kh9dyjs608p/wish/141902621 This primary source shows the original script for the baseball anthem, Take Me Out to the Ball Game. This song was sang and still is sung at almost every baseball game in the nation. America loved baseball because it was different from other sports and that could involve the whole family. Although the original version of the song is a lot longer, it still has parts that are still sung today during baseball games. This script shows the development of the song through notes and lyrics. "Buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks", people sang this part because people would normally always eat peanuts and crackerjacks as a baseball ritual. I love singing this song because it always reminds me of my childhood and always going to the baseball games with my families. ]]> 2016-12-05 23:04:10 UTC https://padlet.com/laatcheson/8kh9dyjs608p/wish/141902621 laatcheson https://padlet.com/laatcheson/8kh9dyjs608p/wish/141916401 Known as the Golden Age of Sports, the 1920s gave great prosperity to sports and greatly affected today's sports. Popular sports included football, baseball, boxing, golf, tennis, and swimming. Sports have always been around by the 1920's but the time for leisure, or down time, increased dramatically. Through magazines, newspapers, and radio shows provide news about sports and the publics interested instantly peaked. Many families began having more family time as a way that sports let them bond and spend time with each other. "The golden Age of Sports" also created many sports legends, or people who made a big impact in something. Babe Ruth, the most popular baseball player of all time, was always talked about because of his long, successful career. Sports continued to be very high in publics interested. It made the economy so great because of ticket sales, the sports stadiums, the increase in newspaper and magnifies sale, and also apparel that is worn to support a team. The Negro National League, created by african americans, was a league that was made up of black baseball athletes. The men created this because Jim Crow laws were prevalent and did not allow blacks to compete against white people. This league allowed the gifted african americans to play the sport they loved. The 1920's allowed the public to unit together and give them something to talk about that didn't involve the war. ]]> 2016-12-06 02:13:29 UTC https://padlet.com/laatcheson/8kh9dyjs608p/wish/141916401 laatcheson https://padlet.com/laatcheson/8kh9dyjs608p/wish/141917373 The change that sports ing the 1920's greatly affected the economy and influenced life today. Known as "The Golden Age of Sports", the 1920's allowed sports to become known. Sports directly affected the economy. Through ticket sales, the building of hundreds or huge sports stadiums, snd an increased rate of sakes for newspapers and magazines, the economy was booming. The culture that sports created gave americans a more family love. That being said, American families began spending more time together because of the increase in leisure time and not having to spend so much time working. It also allowed Americans to discuss something other than war. Magazines, newspapers, and radio broadcast were becoming more popular because it was a way to get sports news out to people that weren't present at the sporting game. This change society because all three of them ares till used today and are a way to get the publics eye on sports and their events. This would lead into influencing the journalism department because of the articles, videos, and photographs that were being produced from the sporting event. American today is known for the sports and the fans. This increased peoples nationalism because Americans wanted to show there pride for Americans cultures and in many ways, sports were always involved. Many African Americans were being turn down to play sports, because of the Jim Crow Laws, but that didn't stop them. Many created specials leagues or teams that allowed them to play the sport they loved. This changed the way that race was brought upon in America because a league dedicated to blacks had never been created before. ]]> 2016-12-06 02:29:31 UTC https://padlet.com/laatcheson/8kh9dyjs608p/wish/141917373 laatcheson https://padlet.com/laatcheson/8kh9dyjs608p/wish/141923148 2016-12-06 04:07:20 UTC https://padlet.com/laatcheson/8kh9dyjs608p/wish/141923148
