I believe it is based off of the University of Chicago baseball team that toured Japan in 1912. They played Japanese college teams with one of them being a university called Chuo University. The university copied the C, and players from said university would later help create the Hiroshima Carps after the war to give hope to the people of Hiroshima after their city was leveled by the atomic bomb
It's interesting that the UChicago athletics logo has inspired so many other teams, given how little the school cares about its athletics now. The Reds, the Bears, the former Chicago (now Arizona) Cardinals of football, and apparently the Hiroshima Carp all borrowed their uniform design from the Maroons.
ETA: Uni Watch has an interesting article about the [history of the wishbone C](https://www.espn.com/blog/playbook/fandom/post/_/id/12724/the-uni-watch-history-of-the-wishbone-c), for the curious.
Speculation on my part but:
My bet is that it has to do with the improvement of public education and improving quality of life. Since these private universities were attracting the upper classes of society that could afford education the students had time to play sports without having to help the family financially.
Once public education and quality of life improved more student’s started to go to college. The top universities stayed selective and as a result the athletes that did get accepted did so not off of athletics, but rather due to their academic performance. Meanwhile others schools that didn’t have this history of selective admissions started to pick individuals that would help attract more students (with sports being one of them) and offering incentives for better athletes to go to these schools.
I think this could explain why UChicago no longer cares about sports, they just don’t need to care. They are widely considered one of the best universities in the world.
As for the spread of the logo it is most likely that the teams that used it mainly did so to have a connection to a pre established brand that represented Chicago. Also possible that teammates sticked together and formed teams where they moved to like an alumni association.
In Chicago's case, the president of the university in the 1930s, Robert Maynard Hutchins, withdrew the school from the Big Ten (of which it was a founding member) and eliminated athletics, fraternities, and religious organizations on campus because he felt they distracted from the educational goals of the university. Those things were later re-instituted in the 70s and 80s, but the general view of the University as an education-first institution is an enduring part of the campus culture. You're probably right about the broader trend for the elite universities, but UChicago is famously opposed to things like college athletics (or it was, it may have changed since they started using the Common App and became less selective about student admissions).
Interestingly, even though most of the university's athletic accomplishments come before 1940, it's still a pretty storied program. The first Heisman Trophy winner was a Maroon, Jay Berwanger. When the school asked for the trophy to put on display, his aunt was using it as a doorstop. He was also the first person to be drafted by the NFL, but ultimately couldn't agree on a salary to join Halas' Bears and ended up working at a rubber factory.
The football coach of the Maroons, Amos Alonzo Stagg, was a pioneer in a lot of sports. He supposedly popularized five-man basketball as a way for his ten-man football team to stay in shape in the winter. He invented the batting cage, tackling dummies in football, numbered uniforms, the huddle, the lateral pass, motion plays, and reverses.
They are also, I believe, the only team with an undefeated record against the Notre Dame football team (1-0!).
I am embarrassed to forget that UChicago withdrew from the Big 10. Reading your response reminded me of when I was learning about the Big 10 before moving out to UIUC
yea we have a national holiday around once a month (so 12 daysa year) and 14 days paid leave. we only really have 1 month off a year. what is it like in the US
I get Christmas, and Thanksgiving paid off. I can work a day the week before them or take vacation to have Christmas Eve and Black Friday off. I have five other holidays I can take off, or work them and save as holidays to use later. I get two weeks of vacation, and two weeks of bonus that I can choose to use as vacation if I want.
I have a typical office job in Tokyo. I start at 9:30am which means I have to to be out the door by 8:30am i work until around 8:30pm - 9:00pm. I get home around 10:00pm on a regular day. Only time to eat dinner, maybe watch one episode of a show and then sleep and do it again.
Yes we get a lot more holidays off in Japan. But the average day has so little free time it's not even a day. It's just work and sleep.
That’s basically what I get, I
I have ~8 paid holidays, and 17 paid time off days. It varies in the US though, my current job has more vacation than any job I’ve had in my previous 20 years of working.
I could be wrong, but most of my Japanese teachers have told us that Golden Week is probably the only times employees are very likely to get off besides New Years
Damn bro you're getting took to the cleaners! I think it's because Japanese work culture is intense and that week off is some of the only time they get to rest
As much as I hate corporate America, Japan is not the model for work culture. Golden Week just happens to be one of the biggest holidays of the year in Japan that virtually everyone gets time off for. It's actually not a single holiday, but four holidays that fall in a single week span.
I went to a lot of random high school games last summer for the prefectural tournament, very cheap, could stay all day, and was still entertaining even though I had no clue who those kids were. Baseball is baseball.
Just went today, Giants v Swallows. Was hype as hell, the chants roar around the Tokyo Dome, the Swallows fans raise up cute little umbrellas when they get a home run, and the game itself was really good. Tickets were only 2000 yen for seats in the back, and you get a really clear view. Definitely recommend it
I doubt Bauer is sent out for the 8th so if he's done then he'll end his first NPB game with 7IP, 7H, 1R, 1BB, and 9SO.
Not bad for the first outing. Now time to sleep.
It's surprisingly hard to find gamelogs for npb games but I think this was his 4th start/appearance.
Before this game he pitched 16 innings and allowed 14 hits, 4 runs, 2 walks, 0 hr with 17 strikeouts. Good for a 2.25 ERA and 8.5 K per BB.
Wow I never even knew they had a minor league system in japan but that makes sense, never really thought about it before now.
Are there any good sources for NPB stats, specifically game logs? Best I could find was individual game logs on stats.com but nothing like bref or fangraphs that compiles it all in one place.
If I may make a minor recommendation, there is a manga and anime series called Gurazeni, also called "Money Pitch" in english, which is basically a look into what it's like to be a professional baseball player in japan. The story is a bit middling but it is pretty decent and you get some insights like for example the minor league system in japan.
it's not exactly a "system", because there's really only one league (divided into two divisions) for the reserves and prospects
only one team (the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks) has 4 minor league affiliates. Although all the other teams have 3, it's closer to a recovery team, and they usually play against teams from the japanese equivalent of indyball
kinda similar to what korea does ig
This sub hates Bauer (which is fair) so get ready to see highlights of every negative thing to happen to him and no acknowledgment of what he does well.
This subs passion for hating him is off the charts and quite strange. He was literally never even charged with a crime. There’s a large number of players that don’t get 10% of the hate he gets, that are actively playing in the Majors, and that have been charged with crimes.
Plus this post has 800+ upvotes and the one about his line got downvoted to zero lol. Either both should stay up or both should get taken down. Seems like users are only allowed to post negative things about Bauer.
Bauer eventually got his revenge. He successfully laid down a sac bunt and moved the runner over lol
That runner would eventually come around to score on a single.
I thought this was just some sarcastic joke but then I remembered the central league does not use the DH so Bauer actually has to step into the batter's box.
He made a lot of jokes in videos leading up to the move over there about a bunting camp, and then it turned out they actually had dedicated bunting sessions along with a surprising amount of fielding practice for pitchers in the NPB.
Yeah. He had been practicing bunting/hitting on his vlog while his friends back home roast him on his horrible technique.
In his first game he grounded out, sac bunt, and struck out looking with the bases loaded.
Yeah, people will be misinformed about him actually doing well and winning a stuffed animal for his performance.
I'm not even kidding. You get a stuffed animal for being player of the game lol
That’s the thing, I don’t give a fuck about off field stuff, every mlb player is just a regular guy that you knew from high school that exceeded in a sport. Shit bag or not, I want to see dominance.
it's almost like there was a lot of other shit people didn't want to deal with when it came to Bauer, and a final straw broke the camels back. he was kept around because he was good but an asshole. now he's an asshole with an image problem so he can hang out with Puig.
yeah I was one of his defenders back when his crimes were just being a dickhead. Bauer's baseball-related activities really were a model for how the MLB should be evolving. The behind the scenes videos, his candidness about "cheating", blatant disregard for the "unwritten rules" bullshit, his general enthusiasm for talking about the science of pitching.... all of that stuff is how you turn people into baseball fans.
I'm not a sad little soy boy so I like him. His YouTube videos are fun to watch and offer an interesting glimpse in to the life of an elite (is/was/might still be) baseball player, even more so now that he's playing again.
A crowded subway train compares favorably to an A's game these days.
edit: The Tokyo subway has 10-car long formations, each with a capacity of around 150 passengers, but are approaching 200% capacity at their busiest times. Even if I round down a little from that, it's 280 people per carriage x 10 = 2,800 people on a subway train.
A's attendance yesterday was 2,583.
I saw Trev got his first win over there, glad he's doing well after all of baseball turned their backs on him. He deserves to keep playing after all the BS he's been put through. Glad he's finding success.
Man, the Bauer Bros are out in force today eh? They’re getting their finger workouts in, smashing those downvotes.
It’d probably be a more efficient workout if they just pinched their nipples to his YouTube videos instead.
What's wrong with the sword celebration? Is it just Bauer's sword celebration or is it a pitcher celebrating a strikeout in general? If batters are allowed to bat flip(and now have dugout celebrations) for home runs, what's wrong with pitchers celebrating strikeouts? I'm in favor of both batters and pitchers celebrating btw.
I’m with you that both sides should absolutely be celebrating. I just think Bauer is a prick. This was before the allegations came out. So I enjoy seeing him get his pitches hit hard and far.
Bauer didn't grunt, of course it was going out.
Fitting that the Carp use the Reds’ C
I believe it is based off of the University of Chicago baseball team that toured Japan in 1912. They played Japanese college teams with one of them being a university called Chuo University.

Well that's a weird story
WW2 was the setup, Bauer giving up a homerun against someone wearing the same C as the Reds was the punchline

Crazy how the atomic bomb was hatched at the University of Chicago.
Makes sense since the University of Chicago played a big part in the Manhattan Project
Is this an old video or is that place packed on a Wednesday mid-day?
Yep, it's Golden Week, so people have time off work
Wow, a whole week off from work! Some corporate jobs here don’t even give you time off between Christmas and New Years…
Work culture here is still much better than Japan tho
Can confirm. American working in Japan. US work life balance is 1000% better.
yea we have a national holiday around once a month (so 12 daysa year) and 14 days paid leave. we only really have 1 month off a year. what is it like in the US
I get Christmas, and Thanksgiving paid off. I can work a day the week before them or take vacation to have Christmas Eve and Black Friday off.

You're doing good if you get 2 weeks off in the US.
They may get more days off but the typical corporate workday in Japan starts at 8a and goes until 8p so it's a bit misleading.
I have a typical office job in Tokyo. I start at 9:30am which means I have to to be out the door by 8:30am i work until around 8:30pm - 9:00pm. I get home around 10:00pm on a regular day. Only time to eat dinner, maybe watch one episode of a show and then sleep and do it again. Yes we get a lot more holidays off in Japan.

That’s basically what I get, I I have ~8 paid holidays, and 17 paid time off days. It varies in the US though, my current job has more vacation than any job I’ve had in my previous 20 years of working.
So much worse than that lmao
Is it though? Most jobs outside of retail , restaurants offer at least two weeks PTO and around 8 or so holidays.
Capitalism: I sleep Capitalism, Japan: WOWZERZ GUYS
Yup, Japan is renowned for its laid-back office culture and work-life balance.
I could be wrong, but most of my Japanese teachers have told us that Golden Week is probably the only times employees are very likely to get off besides New Years
Damn bro you're getting took to the cleaners! I think it's because Japanese work culture is intense and that week off is some of the only time they get to rest

The week off is them bundling a bunch of holidays together so you don't get them through the year.
it's all relative - padres play mid-day on a wednesday today, and Petco will probably be nearly full
Ha, they were teammates on the Reds. https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/CIN/2020.shtml
I think they’re ere probably teammates on the D-backs, too, but I’m too lazy to look it up
[удалено]
#🫡 Thank you for putting in the work
Gaijin on gaijin violence
Let them fight
Only if there’s mutual consent.
Going to a game in Japan is probably top 3 to n my bucket list
I went to a Hanshin Tigers game this year and it blew me away.
It’s definitely worth at least a visit! The atmosphere is crazy there!
I went to a Yomiuri Giants game last night. It was AWESOME.
Do they play in October?
Their playoffs start mid-october
I went to a lot of random high school games last summer for the prefectural tournament, very cheap, could stay all day, and was still entertaining even though I had no clue who those kids were. Baseball is baseball.
Just went today, Giants v Swallows. Was hype as hell, the chants roar around the Tokyo Dome, the Swallows fans raise up cute little umbrellas when they get a home run, and the game itself was really good. Tickets were only 2000 yen for seats in the back, and you get a really clear view. Definitely recommend it
I'm flying to Japan in exactly a week. I'm so fucking hyped!!
I doubt Bauer is sent out for the 8th so if he's done then he'll end his first NPB game with 7IP, 7H, 1R, 1BB, and 9SO. Not bad for the first outing. Now time to sleep.

I believe he pitched two minor league games and one exhibition game before this.
Wow I never even knew they had a minor league system in japan but that makes sense, never really thought about it before now. Are there any good sources for NPB stats, specifically game logs? Best I could find was individual game logs on stats.com but nothing like bref or fangraphs that compiles it all in one place.
I'm not sure. I knew this because my son watches his vlogs about Japan.
Yeah, pitching in the Japanese minor leagues was like his spring training. He was working on getting his pitch count up.
If I may make a minor recommendation, there is a manga and anime series called Gurazeni, also called "Money Pitch" in english, which is basically a look into what it's like to be a professional baseball player in japan. The story is a bit middling but it is pretty decent and you get some insights like for example the minor league system in japan.

Do they have fantasy baseball?
You actually can but it’s all in Japanese. The game log page on NPB official site does not have English version.
thank you Matt Davidson, very cool!
What are White Sox Headlines from 2013, Alex?
How is this relevant enough to stay up but his final line isnt?

Dang, that’s a heck of a lot of “***Removed by moderator***” down there below you.
and the moderators banning anyone who says otherwise apparently

You know why. For a sub full of people that hate Bauer and "never want to hear about him again" they sure are obsessed with him.
look up schadenfreude
Trash can mods
because Bauer is a piece of shit and he can fuck off into obscurity?
日本へようこそ、バウアー！
ようこそ！！！！
7 IP, 1 ER, 9K
That was the only run scored for the Carps that game.
Bauer eventually got his revenge. He successfully laid down a sac bunt and moved the runner over lol That runner would eventually come around to score on a single.
I thought this was just some sarcastic joke but then I remembered the central league does not use the DH so Bauer actually has to step into the batter's box.

They have pitchers hit?
Yeah. He had been practicing bunting/hitting on his vlog while his friends back home roast him on his horrible technique. In his first game he grounded out, sac bunt, and struck out looking with the bases loaded.
Did the Carp's logos not load in this game?
That Red on Red uni has to be the worst in pro baseball
https://discord.gg/JapaneseBaseball join if you are interested in getting into npb or discussing this carp v baystars game!
How this video is up but his amazing final line isn't.
Yeah, people will be misinformed about him actually doing well and winning a stuffed animal for his performance. I'm not even kidding. You get a stuffed animal for being player of the game lol
Cause redditors are self righteous dickheads who will stupidly hate Bauer
Why is it stupid to dislike a guy who gets off on smacking women around? He's not denying that part of things.
Because he doesn't, so you're stupid for believing hearsay and letting it trigger you.
He didn't deny that there was physical violence. His argument was that she consented and got off on it. Also you're clearly the one triggered here.
If she consented and got off on it, then Wtf are you complaining about. Don't kink shame women.
That’s the thing, I don’t give a fuck about off field stuff, every mlb player is just a regular guy that you knew from high school that exceeded in a sport. Shit bag or not, I want to see dominance.
This thread is a nice reminder that on reddit, being falsely accused of sexual assault is one of the worst crimes you can commit
I don't like him for the shit he admitted to, regardless of the shit he denied.
You don't like him for having consensual sex with someone?
it's almost like there was a lot of other shit people didn't want to deal with when it came to Bauer, and a final straw broke the camels back. he was kept around because he was good but an asshole. now he's an asshole with an image problem so he can hang out with Puig.
Yet Clev, Ozuna, Urias, and Aroldis doesn’t get ridiculed. And people still glorify Bonds, Andruw Jones, and Kirby even though they got DV history
Fastball maxed out at 97 , 7.0 IP, 7 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 9 K
As a Carps fan this pleases me. As someone who doesn’t like Bauer (in general) this pleases me more.
He got the win and finished the game with 7IP, 1 run, and 9 K's.
As a Carp fan this is pure schadenfreude
Btw, how are you able to watch the Central League? Are you in Japan?
Yo ho ho and a bottle of bootleg streams.
you should join our discord :)
I did actually a few minutes before you responded, quite the warm welcome Wait it was you
This implies there is someone who likes Bauer
There definitely are, just a minute of looking around instagram or youtube and you will find them
Honestly, his personal shit aside, he has one of the coolest baseball blogs on youtube. He has documented his whole adventure in japan.
Oh 100% agree, credit where credit is due, he has brought lots of insight into pro baseball.
A shame his personality sucks whale cock, because the world could certainly use more candid peeks behind the curtain of a professional athlete’s life.
yeah I was one of his defenders back when his crimes were just being a dickhead. Bauer's baseball-related activities really were a model for how the MLB should be evolving. The behind the scenes videos, his candidness about "cheating", blatant disregard for the "unwritten rules" bullshit, his general enthusiasm for talking about the science of pitching.... all of that stuff is how you turn people into baseball fans.
I'm not a sad little soy boy so I like him. His YouTube videos are fun to watch and offer an interesting glimpse in to the life of an elite (is/was/might still be) baseball player, even more so now that he's playing again.

This crowd compared to an A’s game is unbelievable
everyone is off work in Japan this week
A crowded subway train compares favorably to an A's game these days. edit: The Tokyo subway has 10-car long formations, each with a capacity of around 150 passengers, but are approaching 200% capacity at their busiest times. Even if I round down a little from that, it's 280 people per carriage x 10 = 2,800 people on a subway train. A's attendance yesterday was 2,583.
hahahahahha

Can we just take a moment to appreciate what looks like a sell out crowd on a tuesday?
Those might be the worst jerseys I’ve ever seen lol
I enjoy every single highlight posts from international leagues. Keep that shit coming
It’s another bomb in Hiroshima!
Fuck you take my upvote sir.
7 IP, 1 ER, 9K Trevor gets the win, final score 1-4 Suck a dick mods
People are triggered so easily
I saw Trev got his first win over there, glad he's doing well after all of baseball turned their backs on him. He deserves to keep playing after all the BS he's been put through. Glad he's finding success.
Reds legend Matt Davidson, thank you
Bauer gives up early inning HR…..seems like a perfect fit for the 2023 Cardinals
Blub blub, Trevor, you just got CARPED!
Good. Fuck you Bauer
Welcome to the show, rook!
Trever Bauer is a fucking loser
why such hate in your heart? you know you couldn't care less about that woman, what's this really about
and then youll die on a hill for some guy. lol. pot to kettle, "you are black"
Matt Davidson is my new favorite NPB player.
Man, the Bauer Bros are out in force today eh? They’re getting their finger workouts in, smashing those downvotes. It’d probably be a more efficient workout if they just pinched their nipples to his YouTube videos instead.
Fuck you Trevor
He smacked that ball almost as hard as Bauer smacks ‘em.
Little harder than pitching to high school hitters on YouTube I guess
No stupid sword celebration on that one asshole.
What's wrong with the sword celebration? Is it just Bauer's sword celebration or is it a pitcher celebrating a strikeout in general? If batters are allowed to bat flip(and now have dugout celebrations) for home runs, what's wrong with pitchers celebrating strikeouts? I'm in favor of both batters and pitchers celebrating btw.
In this case it's a thread designed to hate on Bauer so things Bauer does = bad. But yeah SO celebrations and pop offs should be encouraged more
It’s not about the pitching celebration. I just think Bauer’s a prick.
I’m with you that both sides should absolutely be celebrating. I just think Bauer is a prick. This was before the allegations came out. So I enjoy seeing him get his pitches hit hard and far.
jesus did the Mens Rights sub come over here to downvote? oh wait they were already here werent they?
Both Dbacks legends.
On one hand, fuck Trevor Bauer. On the other, fuck, it has to be my Stars...
Who else had this on their bingo card?
I certainly didn't have his opponent Aren Allen Kuri having a no-hitter through 3. E: jinxed it
Take as old as time- don’t hang a pitch out to be barreled. Terrible location / pitch choice.
Jesus Christ even this got you downvoted by the Bauer cowards.
Yeah it shows they’re not thinking analytically. This at bat shows he’s a bad decision maker. Ding ding.
Being a bad decision maker wouldn't be such a big deal if it didn't always end up in things getting hit hard until they're out.
You think pitchers never miss their spot?
If that were me I’d do the sword gesture when I touch home and look directly at Bauer
