He\u2019s joined by Neal Pease, a retired 51ÁÔÆæ professor of history who taught a course on baseball and American history. Pease inspired Bartelt to use his interest in baseball to look at how history influences contemporary issues.<\/p>\n<p>To hear more, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wuwm.com\/show\/CuriousCampus\/2022-02-10\/negro-league-baseball-and-the-milwaukee-bears\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">check out this week\u2019s episode<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where did the Milwaukee Bears play their home games? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Bartelt<\/strong>: I think one of the important facts about the Milwaukee Bears\u2019 failure that really reflects the struggles of the Negro Leagues at large was their access to ballparks. Historians have identified the Achilles\u2019 heel of the Negro Leagues as the fact that most Negro League teams did not own their playing facilities and had to rent them from white ballpark owners. This was the case in Milwaukee.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_99105\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-99105\" style=\"width: 250px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-99105\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2021\/11\/Bartelt250x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"300\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-99105\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ken Bartelt<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>So the Bears had to play their games at Athletic Park, which became <a href=\"https:\/\/sabr.org\/bioproj\/park\/borchert-field-milwaukee\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Borchert Field<\/a>, which was owned by the white, <a href=\"https:\/\/aabaseball.com\/league\/history\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">American Association Milwaukee Brewers<\/a>. Sometimes, what happened with this is if the Brewers had a rainout, they may have had to reschedule the next day, and if there was a Negro League game the next day, they would have just bumped the Negro League game because the white team took precedence over the Negro League team.<\/p>\n<p>So, historians have identified this as one of the biggest problems \u2013 the lack of access to property ownership that Black Americans had, and that certainly reflected itself in the Negro Leagues.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can you explain that more? How was that reflective of the economic issues facing Black Americans overall? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Bartelt<\/strong>: Not being able to own your own playing facilities immediately creates another expense \u2013 you are paying for the rights to use a field you do not own. That also creates the problem of scheduling instability. If you don\u2019t have a reliable place to play your game, you cannot necessarily guarantee that income. And, this is even more of a problem with baseball before the invention of domed stadiums. If you had rainouts or things like that, you didn\u2019t make any money.<\/p>\n<p>It was very much a shoestring budget. Each one of these games mattered. And that reflects the broader pattern in American history where Black Americans were not able to create generational wealth and institutional wealth the way that white Americans were able to, and that\u2019s reflected in baseball as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What else might people find surprising about the Negro Leagues?<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_102352\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-102352\" style=\"width: 250px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-102352\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2022\/02\/Pease250x300-2022-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"300\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-102352\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Neal Pease<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Pease<\/strong>: The desegregation of baseball was a necessary thing. But I bet a lot of people don\u2019t recognize that a lot fewer African Americans played baseball professionally after <a href=\"https:\/\/baseballhall.org\/hall-of-famers\/robinson-jackie\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jackie Robinson<\/a> than they did before, because of the collapse of the Negro Leagues and because good African American ballplayers now had to compete with the white ballplayers for spots on integrated teams.
