The National Baseball Congress and its now wellestablished World Series were the brainchild of Wichita sporting goods salesman Hap Dumont in the midst of the Depression. Dumont hatched the idea after watching a Sunday baseball game between circus clowns in Wichita for the week and local firemen. While the circus wasnt allowed to perform on Sunday due to the blue laws of the day, the clowns in the baseball game drew a large crowd. Dumont figured he had stumbled onto something.
