Patriotic Games: Sporting Traditions in the American Imagination, 1876-1926
ISBN: 9780195091335 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In Patriotic Games, historian Stephen Pope explores the ways sport was transformed from a mere amusement into a metaphor for American life. Between the 1890s and the 1920s, sport became the most pervasive popular cultural activity in American society. During these years, basketball was invented, football became a mass spectator event, and baseball soared to its status as the "national pasttime." Pope demonstrates how America's sporting tradition emerged from a society fractured along class, race, ethnic, and gender lines. Institutionalized sport became a trans- class mechanism for packaging...

Matty: An American Hero: Christy Mathewson of the New York Giants
ISBN: 9780195092639 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. When all-time pitching great Christy Mathewson died of tuberculosis in 1925 at the age of 45, it touched off a wave of national mourning that remains without precedent for an American athlete. The World Series was underway, and the game the day after Mathewson's death took on the trappings of a state funeral: officials slowly lowered the flag to half-mast, each ballplayer wore a black armband, and fans joined together in a chorus of "Nearer My God to Thee." Newspaper editorials recalled Mathewson's glorious career with the New York Giants, but also emphasized his unstinting good sportsmanship...

During the 1952 World Series, a Yankee fan trying to watch the game in a Brooklyn bar was told, "Why don't you go back where you belong, Yankee lover?"

One could not live in Brooklyn and not catch its spirit of devotion to its...
