  • Albert Long Park Baseball Complex
    INTRODUCTION ALBERT LONG PARK Introduction Rockingham County Contact: The original Albert Long Park was located near the intersection of Reservoir Mrs. Kathy McQuain Street and Stone Spring Road. The property was donated by the Albert Long Parks & Recreation Director family in 1971 and encompassed 5.945 acres for the purpose of recreation. Phone: 540.564.3161 On April 26, 2013 the Rockingham County Board of Supervisors authorized [email protected] an exchange agreement with Indian Trail Farm, LLC. to swap the current Albert Long Park for approximately 72 acres of land located along Mr. Stephen King Spotswood Trail. The Board’s intent is to develop the 65 acres to the rear Deputy County Administrator of the site as a park, replacing the current Albert Long Park location. When Phone: 540.564.3015 the current property was taken out of service, the Board’s commitment [email protected] to the Long family was to replace the recreational land utilizing much of the proceeds from the redevelopment of the current property to help fund construction of the new park. Key to the Board’s decision to acquire this property was a goal to protect this area as perpetual green space, providing a buffer between development along the Spotswood Trail corridor and the farming community in the Keezletown area. The County rezoned the acquired property to include approximately 6.4 acres as B1 (Commercial) with conditions along Spotswood Trail and the remaining 65.6 acres A2 (Agriculture) with the intent to limit the use to recreation and related uses. Parks and Recreation Mission Statement The mission of the Rockingham County Parks and Recreation department is Rockingham County, Virginia to foster lifetime involvement in and appreciation of activities that enrich the lives of all citizens of Rockingham County by providing high quality recreation and leisure activities.

  • Wil Linkugel and Edward J. Pappas. They Tasted Glory: Among the Missing at the Baseball Hall of Fame
    186 AethlonXSftkl / Fall 1999 much better that our fascination with muscle and sweat comes with a context, that the high drama of Michael Jordan or the McGwire/Sosa showdown, the dark tragedy of the Simpson trial, the hokey melodrama of the World Wrestling Federation, and even the edgy comedy of the Worm or Tonya Harding-in short, the entire carnival excess of our limitless fascination with the athlete is rooted in this century's evolving distrust of the intellect and our deep fascination with the body. Professor Segel's work, beautifully written, handsomely ornamented with photographs, and impeccably researched, does what any good culture study needs to do-shows us something about our own moment in history. Arlen Davis Wil Linkugel and Edward J. Pappas. They Tasted Glory: Among the Missing at the Baseball Hall of Fame. Jefferson, N.C.: McFarland, 1998. 248 pp. $28.50. Spring training arrives. Your team's chances look much better now thanks to last year's Rookie of the Year pitcher/slugger who's bound to shine even brighter this year. You brag about your team's chances, and, before some other team's fan can respond "sophomore jinx" in the sports fan chat room, that "sure-fire" all-star Hall-of-Famer turns up injured, out for most or all of the season. He comes back and never seems quite as good as he was, becomes injured again, fades into obscurity. Linkugel and Pappas's well-researched They Tasted Glory focuses on just that type of scenario for players such as Mark Fidrych, who won 19 games in 1976, received the Sporting News Rookie of the Year award, and never really came back successfully after injuring his arm the following year.
