    The Newsletter of the Atlanta 400 Baseball Fan Club ________________________________________________________________________________ April 2021 By Dave Badertscher After 18 long months without “live” Braves baseball in Atlanta, more than 14,000 masked, socially distanced fans turned out for Opening Night at Truist Park on Friday, April 9. When the gates opened the stadium began filling to 33% capacity, our eyes drawn to “44” etched in center field as “real” fans replaced the cardboard cutouts of 2020. We eagerly anticipated a much needed in-person baseball experience. It was high time for a rematch of the opening series in Philly, which had not gone well for our guys. Charlie Morton vs. Zack Wheeler rebooted. Braves fans were pumped! What would Opening Night at a Braves game be without evoking memories of the franchise’s 50+ years relationship with the city of Atlanta and the South? A moving pregame ceremony paid tribute to the passing of Bill Bartholomay, Phil Niekro, Don Sutton, and Hank Aaron, highlighting their legendary contributions to the team, the game of baseball, and our community. Fan Club member Wayne Coleman (pictured bottom right) played “Amazing Grace” on bagpipes. Timothy Miller sang the “National Anthem.” Jets flew over. Fans stood and cheered. Braves Country at its best. The Tomahawk Times April 2021 Page 2 The Phillies brought an impressive, early 5-1 record to town. The pitching duel between Morton and Wheeler held until Ronald Acuna launched a 456 foot, two-run blast and the Braves scored three in the bottom of the 5th. The red-hot Acuna ending up going 4 for 5 and made a sensational run-saving catch in the 6th.

  • Almost a Pelican
    Almost A Pelican By S. Derby Gisclair The winningest pitcher in Cleveland Indians history, in 1962 Feller became the first pitcher since charter member Walter Johnson to be elected to the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility. Though regarded as the fastest pitcher of his day, he himself attributed his strikeout records to his curve and slider. Blessed with a strong arm and an encouraging father, young Feller pitched to a makeshift backstop on the family farm near Van Meter, Iowa. Cleveland scout Cy Slapnicka signed him for one dollar and an autographed baseball. His velocity became an immediate legend when he struck out eight Cardinals in a three-inning exhibition stint. He came up as a 17- year-old at the end of 1936 and fanned 15 Browns in his first ML start and 17 Athletics shortly thereafter. But he was extremely wild. In 1938 he became a regular starter for the Indians. He won 17 and led the AL in strikeouts with 240. He also set a ML record with 208 walks. Although he led the AL in walks three more times, his control progressively improved. Meanwhile, he led the AL in both strikeouts and wins from 1939 to 1941. In 1940, he won his personal high with 27, including an Opening Day no-hitter against the White Sox. Yet the year was tarnished, first when Cleveland veterans, including Feller, earned the nickname Crybabies by asking Cleveland owner Alva Bradley to replace stern manager Ossie Vitt. Then Feller lost the season's climactic game and the pennant to Tigers unknown Floyd Giebell, despite pitching a three-hitter.

I believe that many problems in the public realm can be solved by the focused attention and hard work of capable, well-intentioned people working together. The potential for the state Commission on the Status of Women to have a positive impact in Massachusetts is enormous. I would be honored to work as a member on the issues and problems that affect all of us.” ~ Elaine F. Guiney 1946 - 2004 This annual report of the Massachusetts Commission on the Status of Women (MCSW) is dedicated to former Commissioner Elaine F. Guiney, who succumbed to an all too short battle with cancer on February 20th. Her passion for our mission, vision, guidance and involvement will be forever missed. Elaine wrote the quote above in her request for appointment to the MCSW by the Massachusetts Women’s Legislative Caucus. Elaine wanted to be appointed to enhance economic opportunities for women. She knew that in order to guarantee economic self-sufficiency for women, all opportunities needed to be available to them, including non-traditional jobs and self-employment. She knew that dealing with economic issues was key to improving the lives of women living within Massachusetts.

  • FINAL REPORT Rep. Peter J. Koutoujian, House Chair Sen
    Commission to End Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities FINAL REPORT Rep. Peter J. Koutoujian, House Chair Sen. Dianne Wilkerson, Senate Chair AUGUST 2007 1 PREFACE We are pleased to present the final report of the Commission to End Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities. This report is the result of an effort that started over three years ago, involving community members, health care advocates, policy experts and legislators. It is grounded in three fundamental understandings: 1) Health disparities stem from social arrangements historically rooted in interpersonal and institutional racism. These arrangements have an active legacy in the present. 2) There are multiple causes of health disparities. Single sector approaches, whether aimed at larger social conditions, health care services, or patient education and behavior, will not suffice. Only a comprehensive approach can lead to the elimination of health disparities. 3) Eliminating health disparities requires political will and coordinated oversight to ensure that gains are both substantive and sustainable. It is our belief that this document provides an analytical framework and a blueprint for the elimination of health disparities. Upon its release, Massachusetts moves to the national forefront once again, leading the country in the area of health. We urge leaders in government, the private sector, non-profits, and local communities to join together to address racial and ethnic health disparities, an injustice that has rightly been called by the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as the “most

BUY THIS BOOK Introduction Seeing Politics through Different Lenses The real act of discovery consists not in finding new lands but in seeing with new eyes. Marcel Proust A long-serving member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives gingerly seated himself in the vacant black leather chair next to me in the cavernous and historic House chamber. A district border in south- west Boston was all we really shared in common. Prior to this moment, my most vivid memory of him had occurred during a meeting of the Boston legislative delegation in my first year as a rep, as I awkwardly made conversation by remarking that he always seemed to face difficult reelection fights that attracted multiple serious opponents. “Don’t worry about me,” he smiled. “My perception of vulnerability is my greatest strength.” He most often could be observed seated at the far back of the chamber reading books connected with his two compelling passions: the right-to-life movement and the Catholic cause in Northern Ireland. To- day, however, he wanted to be my friend. “John,” he said in a voice crack- ing from years of tobacco smoke, “do you have any precincts near me that you would be willing to let me take?” He was referring to the up- coming redrawing of legislative districts, always an intense game of who gets what. “Gee, I don’t know,” I demurred. “I’ve worked them really hard.

  • Weekly Notes 083117
    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES THURSDAY, AUGUST 31, 2017 KINGS OF K’S On Tuesday night against the Toronto Blue Jays, six-time All-Star Chris Sale registered the 1,500th strikeout of his Major League career. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Sale reached the milestone in his 1,290th career inning, the fewest numbers of innings needed for any pitcher in Major League history. Kerry Wood was the next fastest, accomplishing the feat over 1,303 innings of work, followed by Hall of Famers Pedro Martinez (1,337 IP), Randy Johnson (1,365.2 IP) and Nolan Ryan (1,384.2 IP). In addition, the dominant left-hander has logged 264 punchouts across 27 starts in his fi rst season with the Red Sox. Per Elias, only four other pitchers in MLB history have logged that many strikeouts in their fi rst season with a Club. Johnson holds the record, having recorded 364 strikeouts in his premier season with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 1999, trailed by Ryan (301), Roger Clemens (292), and Max Scherzer (276). The table below details each ace’s historical season with his new Club. Washington’s Scherzer made history Monday night after tallying 10 punchouts across 7.0 innings pitched against the Miami Marlins. With the outing, Scherzer joined Sale as the eighth hurler in MLB history to log at least 230 strikeouts over his fi rst 25 starts of a season. Sale, who accomplished the feat following his start on August 19th, notched 250 punchouts over his fi rst 25 outings. Across MLB history, six other pitchers have tallied that many strikeouts though their fi rst 25 outings of a season: Hall of Famers Sandy Koufax (1965) and Ryan (1973, 77, 89); Clemens (1988), Hall of Famers Johnson (1995, 97-2001) and Marinez (1997, 99, 2000), as well as Curt Schilling (2002).

  • Three Felonies a Day
    Praise for Three Felonies a Day “Now comes veteran defense lawyer and civil libertarian Harvey A. Silverglate with riveting case studies exposing in technicolor a pat- tern of serious abuses and convictions of innocent people in some of the most famous (as well as obscure) federal cases of recent decades. Abetted by compliant courts and easily gulled media, the feds brand as criminals good people who intended no crime.” —Stuart Taylor, Jr., National Journal columnist and Newsweek contributing editor “In Three Felonies a Day, Harvey A. Silverglate has written a work peerless in revelations about the mad expansion of federal statutes whose result is to define, as criminal, practices no rational citizen could have viewed as illegal. The book is chilling in its detail of the investigations and ruin that have befallen people ground up in this prosecution mill. Whether in the book’s scathing chronicle of the destruction of Arthur Andersen, largest accounting firm in the nation, an obscure attorney, or the bizarre government case mounted against a Boston politician—to name a few—Harvey A. Silverglate brings home, unforgettably, the truth that everyone is vulnerable to the terrors wrought by out of control prosecutors. No one reading this can fail to be gripped by these cases, by the hard bright light he shines on every step of these prosecutions, and the mindset that created them. It’s a bombshell that was worth waiting for.” —Dorothy Rabinowitz, Wall Street Journal editorialist and a winner of the Pulitzer Prize (Continued) “Gilbert & Sullivan wrote about how the punishment fits the crime.
