He loves his familyZach (especially Hawkinshis little brother) and has done well in his given role as the “man of the house.” He’s admired by his friends for his loyalty and gentle spirit. The difference between the Zach that arrived here seven years ago and now is nothing short of a miracle. I look forward to watching him excel in the next season of his life.” - Troy Robertson, Arms of Hope Chief Operations Officer Zach has been a resident of Arms of Hope- Medina Campus for the past seven years. Zach’s family is in our Together Program, where they have thrived under our care. They came after fleeing a life of homelessness and abuse. Zach will be attending Schreiner University in the fall, majoring in History. “Arms of Hope saved me and my family from homelessness. I am following in my mother’s footsteps and attending college majoring in History. While at Arms of Hope I have become a follower of Christ and will continue to walk the path that God lays in front of me.” - Zach Hawkins “September 26, 2003, is the day God graced our AOH staff with the blessing of Andrew Landry. I have watchedAndrew this boy mature Landry into a young man, driven to find success in all aspects of his life. No matter what curve ball life has thrown Andrew’s way, he has always reached down deep within himself and found the ambition and determination to make the best of the situation, teaching others, especially me, that life really is what you make of it. As Andrew prepares to start a new chapter in his life, I reflect back to the an- gry child who entered my life so many years ago and I beam with pride that he is a true survivor, a man of compassion, determination, ambition and leadership.

    HOME RUN BASEBALLS AND TAXATION, AN OPEN STANCE: HOW A H.R. CAN BE I.R.D. by Kelly A. Moore*and Adam J. Poe* I. INTRODUCTION .............................................. 79 II. HOME RUN BASEBALLS AS GROSS INCOME ...................... 81 III. RECENT HISTORY OF HOME RUN BASEBALL TAXATION.................85 IV. PROPOSAL-NONRECOGNITION AND IRD ................... 88 V. TRANSFER TAX CONSIDERATIONS ........... ................... 92 VI. CONCLUSION .......................................... ...... 95 I. INTRODUCTION A home run hitter steps to the plate. The pitcher peers into the catcher, who signals for a fastball. The pitcher gets set, winds up, and releases the baseball. Crack! As the baseball sails toward the right field bleachers, a fan sees it coming towards him. Dropping his beer, fighting the crowd, and risking injury, the fan catches the home run baseball. Returning to his seat, the fan imagines how great the baseball will look on his mantle and how this souvenir will become a family heirloom. Unbeknownst to the fan, the baseball may be cognizable as gross income under the Internal Revenue Code (Code)-he may have to pay an uncertain and possibly substantial amount of income tax, even though he has not received any extra cash or other liquid asset with which to do so. And to think, he dropped his $8 beer for this. In 2007, Matt Murphy faced such an uncertainty when he caught Barry Bonds' 756th career home run. With that home run, Bonds eclipsed Hank Aaron as Major League Baseball's all-time home run leader. Despite his stated desire to keep the baseball as a family heirloom, Murphy auctioned off the baseball for $752,467 to generate liquidity to pay the anticipated income tax liability.' Including the value of home run baseballs in gross income has been the subject of fierce debate.2 Murphy's experience is only among the most * Assistant Professor, University of Toledo College of Law.

    7 Principles to Coaching Youth Hitting ® Hitting Philosophy Principle 1: Be on Time & Be on Plane ………………………………………. 2 Principle 2: Mindset over Mechanics………………………………………….. 3 Principle 3: Have Rhythm & Timing…………………………………………….. 4 Principle 4: Hunt the Fastball………………………………………………………. 5 Principle 5: Hit with a Game Plan………………………………………………… 6 Principle 6: Mentally & Physically Tough……………………………………. 7 Principle 7: QAB’s over Statistics…………………………………………………. 8 Principle 1: Be on Time & Be on Plane! • Too often we focus on developing the “prettiest” swing. • Doesn’t matter what your swing looks like, if you’re not on time you don’t get to use it!! • Timing should be worked on in the hole & on deck… Not In the Box! • The barrel of the bat needs to be on plane with the pitch as long as possible! Coco Crisp Barrel on Plane Josh Donaldson Barrel on Plane Being on plane gives you more room for error. Timing needs to be done on deck! Principle 2: Mindset Over Mechanics! • Be less concerned with mechanics in the batter’s box and more concerned with competing! • We have to believe in ourselves as hitters! • Stop thinking about what your swing looks like and get in the box and focus on being the toughest hitter on the field! • Be FEARLESS! Principle 3: Have Rhythm & Timing! • To be a successful hitter, you must have consistent rhythm in your swing. • Don’t “Get your foot down early!” • Rhythm and timing are more important than the swing itself, and hitters should have a “Yes, Yes, No” mentality in the batter’s box. • The swing should be smooth and relaxed.
