Episode 148: Katherine Walden: Baseball Academic

We started out as the show that invited scholars, makers, and professionals to brunch for informal conversations about their work—but last season, we needed to record remotely. This year we’re excited to be able to bring back in-person interviews while still taking advantage of the flexibility afforded by our remote setup.But whether we’re literally sitting down with a guest or talking with them virtually from that trusty old walk-in closet, we hope you’ll find that you’re glad you stopped by.To start season 5, host Ted Fox grabbed a cup of coffee and headed to the courtyard outside Notre Dame’s Hesburgh Library, right beneath the famous “Word of Life” mural on the building’s south side. More popularly known as Touchdown Jesus, the mural is a fitting backdrop for a conversation about sports, which is what Katherine Walden and Ted met to talk about—albeit baseball rather than football.Katherine is an assistant teaching professor of American studies at Notre Dame and an affiliated faculty member of the Notre Dame Technology Ethics Center. Her research employs data analysis, visualization, and interactive digital mapping to illustrate the scale and scope of Minor League Baseball labor, as well as the historical forces and labor structures that shape Minor League players’ working conditions.Why Minor League Baseball? After all, the vast majority of baseball fans’ attention gets devoted to the likes of the Chicago Cubs, St. Louis Cardinals, Boston Red Sox, and the other 27 clubs that make up Major League Baseball.But as Katherine points out, 90 percent of professional baseball players are actually Minor Leaguers, who for the most part grind out their days in relative anonymity. Her work has grown out of asking: What happens if we put that 90 percent at the center?The answers give all of us who love our national pastime a lot to think about.LINKSSporting News Article: Even after overdue salary bump, baseball's minor leaguers still paid far below NBA, NHL counterpartsKatherine on The Uncertain Hour (podcast)Episode Transcript

On Baseball and Critiquing Things You Love—Katherine Walden, Notre Dame

In this first episode of Music in 2Flavors I interviewed, Katherine Walden, a junior fellow at the Library of Congress, Music Division here in Washington DC. We talked about her two passions: music and baseball and how each other were intertwined in early 1900. Music and baseball in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s were much different of today’s business scenario. Music were an essential part of vaudeville shows and the profit were made, mainly, thru the sales of music sheet. That is when Jack Norworth and George Cohan names popped –up in our interview. Two savvy impresarios that tried to take advantage of publishing music marketing and only one prevailed with Take Me Out to the Ball Game. I hope that you will enjoy this episode as I did while listening to it while editing it. Grab your pop-corn or any of your goodies and sit back and relax while you listen to Katherine Walden.To learn more about my podcast, you can follow me on Twitter @Music2Flavors and Facebook https://www.facebook.com/Musicin2Flavors/.Please visit my website www.musicin2flavors.com and subscribe.
