While some contributors to the special issue celebrated the growth of the field, others lamented its lack of respect from their colleagues. My assessment is framed within the broader interdisciplinary field of kinesiolog…

Ballplayer or Barrier Breaker? Branding through the Seven Statues of Jackie Robinson
Jackie Robinson is the baseball player most frequently depicted by a public statue within the USA, a ubiquity explained by his unique position as barrier breaker of the Major League colour bar. Utilising a detailed inspection of statue designs, locations and inscriptions, and comparisons with wider baseball statuary, Robinson's monuments reveal a distinctive set of cultural projections. These are commemorations distinguished by their age, locatio…

From ‘The Finest Ballpark in America’ to ‘The Jewel of the Waterfront’
When the New York Giants moved west to San Francisco in 1958, they were welcomed by a city hungry for a professional baseball team. San Francisco's civic leaders saw the acquisition of a major-league team and the construction of a ‘big league’ stadium as an opportunity to put their rapidly growing metropolis on the map. Candlestick Park was touted as the stadium of the future when it opened, but its flaws were an ongoing controversy that led to t…
