US 212 Baseball & Beisbol: The Evolution of Race & Ethnicity in the Major Leagues
This University Seminar examines the evolution of racial and ethnic relations in U.S. Major League Baseball from the early 20th century to the present. Such topics as early mixed-race barnstorming teams, the Negro Leagues, the Caribbean winter leagues, and the emerging dominance of Latino players in the major leagues are examined and placed into historical and sociological context. Case studies of individual players such as Victor (Pellot) Power are undertaken, as is a team case study exploring the contemporary Philadelphia Phillies.
Note: US212 can count toward the History major and minor.
