Stagg and the Push for Pure Amateurism in Sport
In a discussion of Amos Alonzo Stagg and the amateur ideal, the essay defends pure amateurism against professional hiring. It highlights Stagg’s stance against commercialization, contrasts East and West colleges, and notes a New Haven push by George Weiss to create a sentiment driven ball club led by Chief Bender and Ty Cobb. It describes the Eastern League model as owned by baseball men with former players as managers and stockholders, advocating a noncommercial, pure form of baseball.
