The papers of
Wesley Branch Rickey (1881-1965) span the years 1890-1971,
with the bulk of the papers concentrated in the period from 1936 to 1965. The
majority of the papers document Rickey's innovative leadership and
administrative skills as a general manager and executive in major league
baseball. Some of his significant contributions to the sport were originating
the farm team system; signing the first African American,
Jackie Robinson, to play major league baseball;
creating pennant winning clubs with the
St. Louis Cardinals; developing the championship
dynasty of the
Brooklyn Dodgers; and establishing the groundwork
for future
Pittsburgh Pirate winning teams. The papers
consist of seven series:
Family Papers,
Correspondence,
Baseball File,
Subject File,
Speeches and Writings
File,
Miscellany, Addition, and
Oversize.There is also a series of material removed and retained from scrapbooks after microfilming.
The
Family Papers,
1890-1969, consist primarily of correspondence and other papers relating to
Rickey, his wife,
Jane Moulton, and his six children,
Sue,
Mary,
Alice,
Jane,
Branch, Jr., and
Elizabeth. One noteworthy letter, written from
Rickey to his parents during Rickey's career as a baseball player, 4 March
1906, conveys his ambivalent feelings about baseball as a profession. Included
in the Other Papers file of the series are letters of condolence regarding
Rickey's death and the deaths of his son,
Branch, Jr., and his brother,
Frank W. Rickey. Items relating to Rickey's
induction into the
National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1967 are located
in the "General" folder pertaining to
Jane Moulton Rickey.
Papers in the
Correspondence
series, 1900-1965, include incoming and outgoing correspondence between Rickey
and friends, business colleagues, staff members, government officials, leaders
of organizations, and the public. The Correspondence series constitutes almost
one third of the papers and is extensive in its documentation of Rickey's
personal and professional interests and his association with the many prominent
individuals with whom he was engaged in business or social activities.
Because many of Rickey's friends and colleagues were involved in
baseball, there is a significant amount of material in the
Correspondence
series that relates to that sport. For example, there are letters documenting
the reaction to Rickey's signing of
Jackie Robinson. Also included are several letters
chronicling Rickey and Robinson's relationship, such as a letter to Rickey from
Robinson, ca. 1950, after Rickey had left the
Brooklyn Dodgers in which Robinson thanked Rickey
for all he had done for him, his family, and African Americans. A carbon of
Rickey's letter to Robinson, 31 December 1950, records his response to
Robinson's question about employment in baseball after the end of Robinson's
playing career. With some exceptions, the Manuscript Division retained Rickey's
arrangement of filing letters of institutions or organizations, particularly
baseball teams, by the name of the individual writing the letter.
A few of the notable and frequent correspondents in the
Correspondence
series are
Red Barber,
Joe L. Brown,
Roy Campanella,
Archibald J. Carey,
Louis Carroll,
Robert H. Cobb,
Lester L. Colbert,
Jack Kent Cooke,
Bing Crosby,
Thomas J. Cuff,
Arthur Daley,
Leo Durocher,
Dwight D. Eisenhower,
Clarence E. Eldridge,
Blake Harper,
Herbert Hoover,
Rogers Hornsby,
Robert L. Howsam,
Charles S. Kelchner,
Fiorello H. La Guardia,
Kenesaw Mountain Landis,
Alfred M. Landon,
Lee MacPhail,
Arthur Mann,
W. C. ("Wid") Matthews,
G. Herbert McCracken,
Edward R. Murrow,
Walter F. O'Malley,
Harry Ornest,
Norman Vincent Peale,
C. E. Persons,
Pee Wee Reese,
Jackie Robinson,
Art Rooney,
George Silvey,
J. G. Taylor Spink,
William A. Shea,
George M. Trautman, and
Raymond Thornburg.
The
Baseball File,
1906-1971, constituting another third of the collection, documents Rickey's
tenure with the
St. Louis Browns,
St. Louis Cardinals,
Brooklyn Dodgers, and
Pittsburgh Pirates. Although papers in this series
contain a wide array of material, such as correspondence, memoranda, scouting
reports, notes, reports, and baseball cards, there is little material about
Rickey's early career and his innovative development of the farm system which
allowed major league teams to control young prospective players through a chain
of minor league franchises.
The majority of the
Baseball File
chronicles Rickey's role as general manager and other administrative positions
with the
Pittsburgh Pirates, 1950-1959, and his efforts to
form a third major league, 1959-1960. The Pittsburgh files reflect the
day-to-day running of the Pirates operation, and the
Continental League material indicates Rickey's
organizational skills as an administrator and his indefatigable enthusiasm for
the project. His plans for a third league were unsuccessful but ultimately led
to the expansion of major league baseball in many of the cities to which Rickey
had intended to award franchises. Items relating to the
Brooklyn Dodgers relate primarily to the sale of
Rickey's stock in the Dodgers and contain no material relating to Robinson's
integration of baseball. The
St. Louis Cardinals papers in the Baseball File
pertain chiefly to Rickey's final years with the Cardinals as a consultant. One
early item of interest among the Cardinals papers is a report, 1935, describing
Dizzy Dean's attributes as a player. Another
innovation of Rickey's was instituted during his administrative tenure in
Pittsburgh when Pirate players were the first to
wear protective batting helmets. The helmets were purchased from the
American Baseball Cap Company, a firm started by
Rickey.
Scouting reports in the
Baseball File
document Rickey's skill in analyzing almost every aspect of a player's game and
reveal his candor in assessing a player's talent. Some of the players featured
in the reports are
Hank Aaron,
Lou Brock,
Steve Carlton,
Roberto Clemente,
Don Drysdale,
Curt Flood,
Bob Gibson,
Sandy Koufax,
Willie Mays,
Bill Mazeroski,
Stan Musial, and
Pete Rose. The printed matter in the series
includes statistical publications of the American and National leagues, press
guides of various major league teams, and two
Our Sports magazines edited by
Jackie Robinson. Also worthy of mention in Rickey's
Continental League papers are four original tobacco
baseball cards filed under "M miscellaneous," 1909-1910, that were sent as
attachments with correspondence. A few of the notable and frequent
correspondents in the Baseball File are
Red Barber,
Robert H. Cobb,
Jack Kent Cooke,
Bing Crosby,
John W. Galbreath,
Howie Haak,
Ralph Kiner,
Arthur Mann,
Walter F. O'Malley,
Branch Rickey, Jr.,
Harold G. Roettger,
William A. Shea,
George Sisler, and
George M. Trautman.
Papers in the
Subject File,
1905-1965, illustrate Rickey's affiliation with numerous institutions,
organizations, and committees, such as
Ohio Wesleyan University,
Delta Tau Delta fraternity,
Fellowship of Christian Athletes,
President's Committee on Government Employment
Policy, and the
Young Men's Christian associations (YMCA), and his
work with the
United States government to sell war bonds during
World War II. Although the
Correspondence
series contains material concerning various organizations and institutions, the
Subject File comprises papers related to those with which Rickey was most
actively involved. Also included in this series is a copy of
Jackie Robinson's testimony in 1949 before the
House Committee on Un-American Activities, with
emendations by Rickey, and a lengthy interview with
Davis J. Walsh discussing Rickey's life and
contributions to baseball, including his signing of Robinson.
Papers in the
Speeches and Writings
File, 1922-1965, consist chiefly of correspondence, speech texts,
articles and other writings, and book drafts. Many of Rickey's speeches reflect
his religious beliefs, his patriotism, and his opposition to Communism. The
majority of the writings file relates to Rickey's book,
The American Diamond: A Documentary of the Game of
Baseball, in which he discussed the various aspects of baseball and the
sport's "immortals," such as
Ty Cobb,
Babe Ruth, and
Jackie Robinson. Items worthy of mention are a
speech Rickey made in 1952 about
Jim Thorpe and drafts of two forewords Rickey wrote
for books by
Jackie Robinson and
George Sisler.
The
Miscellany
series, 1901-1967, includes correspondence, appointment books, financial and
legal papers, biographical information, printed matter, and scrapbooks. Much of
the series relates to Rickey's personal business affairs, particularly, his
farm and real estate interests. The numerous awards and honors Rickey received
during his lifetime are also well documented. Newspaper clippings constitute
the bulk of the printed matter and are also prevalent in the scrapbooks.
The Addition, 1960, consists of a handwritten letter from Rickey to Wheelock Whitney, a Minnesota businessman, conveying advice about
the expansion of major league baseball to Minnesota.
The collection is arranged in nine series:
-
Family Papers,
1890-1969, n.d.
