All-Star Baseball Team Analysis

The All American Girl’s Professional Baseball League both challenged and reinforced traditional women’s roles. The AAGPBL only lasted for eleven years, but its effects are not forgotten. Towards the beginnings of the lead, along with the influential leaders, the players were the ones to make it famous. The AAGPBL made women athletics a possibility today and helped America to emerge to why women athletes are necessary. After the men returned from war, the league began to decline and the women were eventually forced back into being housewives and back into the households.

Going…going…gone! As one of America’s greatest pastimes, baseball brings fans from around the world to support their players in competitive games against opposing teams. Known as the “Great American Game,” baseball has transformed history and influenced American culture for many years. Famous professional players, including Jackie Robinson, Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron, Pete Rose, and countless others have impacted America in matters beyond the baseball field. Robinson, for example, shattered the racial barrier when he became the first African American to play on a professional sports team. Baseball is more than just a game, and it is a lifestyle that has defined my path after high school and molded my character.

Before we told our daughters that they could be anyone, or anything they wanted to be, we told them that they could only be what was acceptable for women to be, and that they could only do things that were considered "ladylike." It was at this time, when the nation was frenzied with the business of war, that the women of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League decided that they could do and be whatever it was that they chose. These women broke free of the limitations that their family and society had set for them, and publicly broke into what had been an exclusively male sport up until that time.

Major League Baseball has customarily shunned the idea of too much focus on individual player limelight. America’s pastime has prided itself on being the penultimate team sport.

The All-American Girl Professional Base Ball League was created in 1943 by Philip Wrigley, owner of the Chicago Cubs, in order to support the war effort from the United States as well as trying to maintain baseball as the American pastime. What came out of this decision was a juxtaposition of masculine athleticism and the feminine ideals of the 1940s. The women who were recruited by the scouts came from various states of living throughout the United States and Canada and later Puerto Rico. In order to maintain the interest of the league, the women were not only selected based on their talent, but also their looks. Many players understood that if they appeared to tryouts with short hair, they would immediately be sent home, losing the opportunity

During the research of this paper there were several discoveries about the inner workings about the great American past time of baseball that was brought to my attention. The realization of how players are selected requires a great deal of thought and ingenuity (Thaler & Sunstein, 2003). As a former ball player (softball player), the remembrance of selecting individuals to play usually meant picking the best hitters and fielder for the team. However, with the tremendous amount of revenue generated in the game of baseball the organization providing the highest salary usually determines the player’s team.

Like they’ve done so many times this year, the Chicago Cubs turned to Aroldis Chapman with the game on the line Sunday night. But with the season in the balance, the star closer was tasked with doing something he’d never done before: secure the final eight outs.

There are many factors that go into the hiring process for businesses, but one factor should not be discrimination. I believe that if you are best qualified for the job then it should be yours. I know if it was my company I would want the most qualified person working for me. With me being in the military it makes it hard to argue these points because we need to be diverse. My friend was up for promotion to Sergeant First Class last year; it was his first time getting looked at for Sergeant First Class. He had done everything in his power to stand out from his peers. Only 10 people were looked at for promotion in his career field and he was one of them. He knew who his competition was and what they have done since being in the military. Knowing he had more board points than the others he felt confident that he was going to get promoted. When the list finally came out it showed that 2 out of the 10 made it. He was sure one of the names was his. To his disbelief his name was not on it. He was very discouraged and felt like there was nothing else he could have done better to make himself more competitive. When he was searching to find out who had made the list he noticed 2 females made it. With research he found out they had not been in as long or had any special assignments, or leadership time. This was upsetting to know that the military has to promote based on gender and race. I always thought and believed a company would want

The longest sports drought in history was finally put to bed after 108 years the Chicago Cubs have reached mountaintop as World Series champions. They did it in style coming back from a 3-1 deficit and being part of the most-watched baseball game and 25 years. It's one of those sporting event you are going to remember exactly where you were when the Cubs broke the curse.

The American League has already had to replace two pitchers on the All-star game roster, and White Sox starter Jose Quintana continues to be snubbed.

My opinion on this article is that it’s actually very inspiring and supportive. I like the fact that Fox challenged the entertainment industry because in a way, many people are talking about that women cannot play in major league teams, but the fact that Fox took a risk and the show is based on a true story about Sarah Hudek. She is one of the biggest role models for women because she destroyed that stereotype for women. I have seen multiple advertisements about the show Pitch because it is huge phenomenon about a woman pitching. I find this article really inspiring mainly because of the fact Sarah Hudek didn’t allow society to break her, instead she continued to be the best

Bobby Joe wanted to make the a All star team. There were 3 all star teams in his region, Region 1. He was on the B All-Star team. Each season, Bobby Joe would do his best to impress the coaches and the parents. He wasn't big, but he could run really fast. He also had good skills. Bobby didn't know his rating though. He thought that it would be 750 /1000. He was right, but he underscored himself. His rating was 949, in a group of some of the highest ratings in his league. Bobby Joe was discouraged though, he would do better every year, but he would never reach his goal. He didn't know about his rating, and that didn't help him one bit. Bobby Joe would pray every night to be on the A All-Star Team, he was tired of being degraded

When recruiting people to come work for me I am not looking at their gender, race, or anything else but how qualified they are for the job (Williams, 2017, p. 227). If they have the credentials and are willing to work hard everyday then they are hired. I believe that having a diverse team creates for a lot of ideas and opportunity. Everyone can bring something new and different to the table which is how new ideas and improvements get

Major League is about the Cleveland Indians when they come under new ownership when the previous owner dies. The new owner is Rachel Phelps who wants to move the team to Miami. In order to do that she needs to bring attendance down to the recommended level. She does this by recruiting washed up players and untalented rookies. To bring the team to last place in order to reach her goal. At the beginning the team starts off rough do to they’re age and lack of experience. They fix this by focusing on the problems each player has and changing how they approach their positions on the field. For example, batter Willie Mays Hayes runs fast but, can’t seem to hit the ball high. So, he starts hitting low in order to get on base. when they start doing well and work

Lee Iacocca once said “If you want to make good use of your time, you've got to know what's most important and then give it all you've got.” There are many brilliant organizations such as Black Girls Code and Girls Who Code that are devoted to bridging the gender gap between women and the tech industry. But there aren’t many organizations dedicated to closing the gap between males or males of color and the tech field. All Star Code is a unique organization attempting to fix the diversity gap where males of color are underrepresented. I believe that joining the All Star Code team is important because it is an organization whose vison is to build and encourage young men of color, especially those from low and middle income families. There are
