Baggy Yankees uniform but underneath he was solid muscle and a power hitter. #BabeRuth #NYY #BaseballHistory

Today in Labor History September 28, 1920: Eight members of the Chicago White Sox were indicted by a grand jury for conspiring with gamblers to throw the 1919 World Series in what became known as the Black Sox Scandal. The players were acquitted by the jury, but they were still banned for life from professional baseball by Major League Baseball’s first commissioner, Kenesaw Mountain Landis, thus ruining their careers. Yet New York gangster, Arnold Rothstein, who orchestrated the Black Sox scandal, was never punished. The biggest loser in the Black Sox case was probably Shoeless Joe Jackson. Had he not been banned for life, he might have gone on to become one of the greatest hitters of all time, possibly even better than Ty Cobb. Jackson hit .408 in 1911, his rookie year. Babe Ruth said he modeled his batting style after Jackson. Landis was a virulent racist, but with the power to actively upheld the league’s ban on black players. It should be pointed out that the players had no union back then and wages were incredibly low, particularly on the White Sox, so low, in fact, that most players had to have other jobs to support their families. White Sox owner, Charlie Comisky, was particularly hated for his miserliness. Yet he had previously helped organize the Players League, in the late 1800s, as a rebellion to the greed of the other major leagues. The Players League was a worker-run cooperative, operated entirely by the players, with the players earning a direct stake in the profits.

Landis was also famous for fining Standard Oil $29 million (that would be nearly $1 billion in today’s dollars). John D. Rockefeller, owner of Standard Oil, said Landis would be dead long before he paid the fine. He was right. A court of appeals reversed the fine in 1908. Landis was also infamous for persecuting leftists and labor leaders (mostly foreign-born socialists, anarchists and Wobblies), including Big Bill Haywood, of the IWW, for resisting World War One. Landis referred to the leftist defendants as "scum," "filth," and "slimy rats." Haywood received a 20-year sentence, jumped bail, and fled to the Soviet Union, where he remained until his death. He is one of two Americans buried in the Kremlin wall, along with communist journalist John Reed. Haywood kept a portrait of Landis on his apartment wall, in Moscow, quite likely so he could spit on it each day. Reed, who covered the war resisters’ trial, wrote the following about Landis:

“Small on the huge bench sits a wasted man with untidy white hair, an emaciated face in which two burning eyes are set like jewels, parchment-like skin split by a crack for a mouth; the face of Andrew Jackson three years dead ... Upon this man has devolved the historic role of trying the Social Revolution. He is doing it like a gentleman. In many ways a most unusual trial. When the judge enters the court-room after recess, no one rises—he himself has abolished the pompous formality. He sits without robes, in an ordinary business suit, and often leaves the bench to come down and perch on the step of the jury box. By his personal orders, spittoons are placed by the prisoners' seats ... and as for the prisoners themselves, they are permitted to take off their coats, move around, read newspapers. It takes some human understanding for a Judge to fly in the face of judicial ritual as much as that.”

I think Babe Ruth was the best baseball player ever, not because of his talent (though he did have that in spades), but rather because no other baseball player in history, near as I can tell, has demonstrated the ability to cure the terminal ailments of dying children four times in the span of an hour and 46 minutes.

Name one other player who's managed to cure a child's cancer by hitting a home run.

-The Mexican

To 1988 κυκλοφορεί το Fisherman's Blues των Waterboys, πρώτη φορά άκουσα γυναίκεια φωνητικά, στο εσώφυλλο του δίσκου έγραφε το όνομα Janita “Jenny” Haan. Ήταν η πιτσιρίκα 20χρονη τραγουδίστρια των Babe Ruth, με πολύ νεύρο ερμήνευε αρχές των 70ς το The Mexican.
Αναφερόταν στην ιστορία των Ντέιβιντ Κρόκετ, Σαμ Χιούστον και Σαντα Αννα και την σφαγή στο οχυρό Άλαμο.

The lineage of trainers for the Boston Red Sox

What started off as looking into an unusual team card ended up being a research project that reveals the family ties through the years of Boston Red Sox trainers. Dates still have to be filled in, but we have the rough outline of who trained the Red Sox for the first half of the 20th century.

1. Dr. Charlie Green

• Lived ????-????
• 1915-1918: trainer for Boston Red Sox

This 1915 Boston Red Sox postcard is a rare gem—it features a young Babe Ruth during his first full season, captured alongside teammates like Tris Speaker and Harry Hooper. But what caught my eye wasn’t just Ruth. Standing off to the right is someone less famous but equally important: “Green, Trainer.”

At first, I misread his label as “Green Trainer,” like he was new on the job. But no—his name was Green, and he had plenty of experience.

A line from the Fenway Park Diaries paints a vivid picture:

“This has been a hard week for trainer Green with an assortment of aches and pains for him to deal with. Most of the pitchers are over six feet tall, and he is a small man, but with a lot of experience.”

We know his name is Charlie Green, because of this excerpt, also from Fenway Park Diaries

March 10, 1916
 … The first players left Boston for Hot Springs at 10AM this morning.  The party includes manager Bill Carrigan, Hal Janvrin, Olaf Henriksen, trainer Charles Green, and vice-president Paul Lannin as well as Lehigh University pitcher, Charles Anderson.  In St. Louis, the party will be joined by Babe Ruth, Herb Pennock, Pinch Thomas and Pat Haley.  After St. Louis the train will arrive at Hot Springs on Sunday morning.

The Omaha Daily Bee, October 14, 1916, Page 12, Image 12 ran a story about the 1916 Red Sox splitting the money awarded for winning the World Series.

FYI, $500 in today’s money would be $14,194.47

His full title is Dr. Charles Green as seen on this post about Martin Lawler, trainer for the 1918 Red Sox.

Martin Lawler was working in Palestine, Texas, when he was contacted by the Red Sox in early 1918. He replaced Dr. Charles Green as the team’s trainer.

2. Martin Lawler

• Lived ????-????
• 1906-1910: trainer for Philadelphia Athletics
• Graduated from Philadelphia’s Orthopedic Institute in 1907
• 1910-1918: trainer for St. Louis Browns
• 1918-????: trainer for Boston Red Sox

3. “Doc” Roland Kickapoo Logan

• Lived 1908-1984
• ????-1938: trainer for Boston Red Sox

“Kickapoo” began his career at the University of Kansas as a football player. In 1930 he became an Assistant Coach and the university’s Athletic Trainer. He worked in this position for 22 years. After leaving Kansas, he worked at West Point Military Academy, Pittsburgh University, and with the Boston Red Sox. He has invented and manufactured over 2 dozen athletic products and co-authored a textbook. He was inducted into the NATA Hall of Fame in 1971. He also has been awarded a medal by the American Institute of Fine Art.
(via Mid America Athletic Trainers Association)

Co-wrote “Techniques of Athletic Training” in 1953

Roland “Kickapoo” Logan (1908-2000) was probably one of the most storied artists, growing up in the Kickapoo area of Leavenworth County, to become a football star at Leavenworth High and the University of Kansas where he later coached and trained to become coach at George Washington University, the University of Pittsburg, West Point, and for the Boston Red Sox. Other careers included Naval commander, author, singer and lecturer, and manufacturer of athletic and surgical products. He took his final retirement in 1964 to devote his time to painting and became known for his seascapes and mountain and desert landscapes. One of his paintings hung in the Oval Office during the Presidency of Richard Nixon and several decades ago he donated a mural of the Salt Creek Valley that hangs in the county courthouse.

4. Charles Winslow Green (aka Win Green)

• Lived 1892-1964
• Nephew of Charlie Green
• 1927-1938: trainer for Boston Bruins
• 1938-????: trainer for Boston Red Sox

5. Daniel Charles Green

• Lived 1955-2010
• ????-????: trainer for Boston Red Sox

Could Dr. Charles possibly have a son (or grandson) who was also a trainer for the Red Sox? I found an obituary for Daniel Charles Green on legacy.com:

He ultimately landed a job as team trainer with the Boston Red Sox, a strange irony for a die hard and life time Yankee fan

Daniel Charles Green lived from 1955 to 2010, so this would not be the same Dr. Charles Green. But it’s really odd that two people with the name “Charles Green” were both trainers for the Red Sox. Perhaps Daniel Charles Green was named for his father, or perhaps his grandfather?
