Star third baseman Austin Riley got the Braves on the board in the 6th with an RBI single to left. A solo shot by Jose Altuve in the fourth inning was Wright's sole miscue of significance, as Houston held only a slim 2-0 lead through five innings. But Wright allowed only one of his inherited runners to cross, and gave the Braves a solid 4.2 innings of work in relief. Houston had most of the momentum in the game's early innings, but failed to capitalize on scoring opportunities, ultimately stranding 11 baserunners, and Astros hitters were 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position.Ītlanta starter Dylan Lee registered just a single out, handing the ball over to Kyle Wright with the bases loaded in the first inning. The Braves can capture the crown in front of their home crowd on Sunday night. Highlighted by back-to-back 7th inning homers from shortstop Dansby Swanson and a pinch-hitting Jorge Soler, Atlanta edged the visiting Astros 3-2 on Saturday night. The Atlanta Braves are one win away from the franchise's first world championship since 1995. My work at BW helped me get accepted into graduate school which ultimately helped me end up where I am now.Will Smith of the Braves celebrates the teams 3-2 win against the Astros in Game 4. Steven Siry were beyond valuable to me in my development as a historian. If you just expect opportunities to come to you, then you are going to be at a disadvantage.īW: Any thoughts on your BW undergraduate experience? What was important to your development as a historian?įeador: The faculty-student collaboration and internships were huge for me.
Getting to work with BW professors on the project was a truly unique experience. I didn’t know what “ Public History” was until I got involved with that project. (I learned to hand sew 1860s era clothing because I was working at Hale Farm and was interested.) I can’t stress enough about how much the Adams Street Cemetery project played a large role in my career path. Don’t be scared to ask questions and try your hand at anything. Also, Major League Baseball and the Baseball Hall of Fame all have interest in objects and items, so I just try to balance all of those needs and wants and hope that we can get items that help tell the story of the 2016 World Series.īW: What career advice do you have for other history majors?įeador: Take chances and get involved. Obviously, first and foremost, you want to respect the players' wishes because this is an important event for them. On that note, you just try to get some basic items, such as first pitch ball, a base, programs, etc. You also think about the past World Series and say, man it’d be cool if they would have saved XYZīW: How do you claim the items you want to add to the team’s collection?įeador: There are several parties involved.
Who knows what will happen? Could there be something like an unassisted triple play like there was in 1920 when the Indians did it? Could there be a no-hitter? There are so many unique possibilities that until they happen, you sort of don’t know what to save. I just feel like I need to pinch myself and remember that there are only two ball clubs still playing and we are one of them.īW: How do you approach preservation as the World Series plays out how do you know what might be important in the future?įeador: I think there are so many unknowns that make preserving items a challenge.
I’ve been walking around the ballpark and looking at the scoreboard. On the eve of game one of the championship series, we asked Feador how he approaches preserving Major League Baseball history-in-the-making, his best advice for history majors and how it feels to be witnessing this piece of Indians’ history:įeador: It still hasn’t sunk in in yet. As curator and historian for the Cleveland Indians, Baldwin Wallace University history graduate Jeremy Feador ’08 is right in the middle of the World Series fever that is sweeping the city.
