Description | Tzouliades, "The Forsaken" p. 1, 12, 15 and chapter 2 in general, says that the American Foreign Workers Club of Moscow was advertising baseball as early as May 1932. The first intercity game was in June 1934 between that club, and the Autoworkers Club of Gorky, at Gorky Park. Several thousand quickly disillusioned Americans left the U.S during the Great Depression for the imagined workers paradise of the Communist USSR. Many were executed there, as suspected traitors to communism. Before their executions, they brought American baseball to the USSR. "[F]or a brief time in the 1930s, it appears that baseball was going to take off in Soviet Russia. In the spring of 1933, American workers living in Moscow, Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) and Petrozvodsk organized games, A team dubbed the Moscow Anglo-Americans drew 25,000 spectators to an exhibition game at the city's famed Dynamo Stadium, according to the Moscow News." Josh Chetwynd, Baseball in Europe (McFarland, 2008), page 129. |
