Baseball standout Adam Kennedy during his CSUN days and now with the Anaheim Angels. Kennedy Turns Matador Baseball Magic Loose on the Majors

Three Home Run Feat Puts Alumnus in Record Book Alongside Babe Ruth and Lands Angels in World Series

What Cal State Northridge fans have known for years now the entire nation and even the world has suddenly discovered. Baseball alumnus Adam Kennedy‹who rocketed from being CSUN¹s best-ever baseball player to the Anaheim Angels¹ sudden ticket to the World Series‹can be one heck of a slugger.

The 26-year-old Kennedy, a CSUN shortstop from 199597 now in his third season as the Angels¹ second baseman, wrote himself into the record books and delivered "the biggest game of my life". On Sunday, October 13 against the Minnesota Twins, he hit three home runs in a single playoff game to help the Angels clinch their first-ever American League pennant in 41 years.

Until that momentous day, Kennedy was best known as CSUN¹s only three-time All-American in baseball and the holder of virtually every Matador batting record. Now he¹s the first CSUN baseball alumnus to reach the World Series and only the fifth player in baseball history, along with Babe Ruth and Reggie Jackson, to homer three times in a postseason game.

"I don¹t care if I have another one. This is it right here, the biggest game of my life," Kennedy said after his third homer that day sparked a record-setting 10-run seventh inning that brought the Angels from behind and on to a 135 victory in the fifth and deciding game of the American League Championship http://www.csun.edu/~hfoao102/@csun.edu/csun02-03/csun1021_02/kennedy.html[6/4/2012 10:42:31 AM] @csun.edu

Series.

"You know, I got about five steps out of the batter¹s box after hitting that third home run and said to myself, ŒI can¹t believe it, there¹s no way that just happened,¹ " Kennedy recalled. "It was pretty surreal, pretty amazing, and such a big game for us, the city, myselfŠ. Hopefully, it¹s the start of a new kind of positive history."

Indeed, Kennedy¹s sudden hero status (his home run performance also earned him the Most Valuable Player award for the ALCS series) is as much a surprise to some as the Angels¹ trip to the World Series. The Angels had not even been playing Kennedy regularly against left-handed pitchers, and the team itself finished last season 41 games out of first place.

All the more remarkable, then, that Kennedy¹s three-run shot in the seventh inning came against a Twins left-hander, Johan Santana, against whom Kennedy had been hitless in their past seven encounters. Add to that, Angels manager Mike Scioscia, with two men on and no outs, had first asked Kennedy to sacrifice bunt before later allowing him to swing away.

For the game, the ninth position hitter in the Angels lineup went 4-for-4 with five runs batted in, also tying a record for RBI in an ALCS game. Kennedy¹s first two homers in the third and fifth innings were solo shots off Twins right-hander Joe Mays. Then in the seventh inning, Kennedy fouled his first bunt attempt, hit two more foul balls, and then hit his three-run shot. Later in the same inning, he also singled.

The three homers in a postseason game suddenly put Kennedy, who only had seven during the entire regular season, in the company of Babe Ruth (who did it in 1926 and 1928), Bob Robertson (1971), Reggie Jackson (1977), and George Brett (1978). Ruth, Jackson and Brett all have been inducted into baseball¹s Hall of Fame, which now has asked for Kennedy¹s bat.

Not that Kennedy came out of nowhere in the championship series. After coming to the Angels in 2000 via a trade from the St. Louis Cardinals, Kennedy this past season was the American League¹s seventh leading hitter with a .312 average and had the league¹s best month when he hit .404 in August. He had batted .266 in 2000 and .270 in 2001 with the Angels.

Kennedy¹s CSUN baseball career also was a good sign of the future. As a sophomore and junior, Kennedy led the nation in hits (121 in 1996 and 134 in 1997) in consecutive seasons, the first and only NCAA Division I player to do so. He also was just the third CSUN baseball player drafted in the first round, taken 20th overall by the St. Louis Cardinals in 1997.

Kennedy was inducted into the university¹s athletics Hall of Fame in 2001, and regularly has practiced here during the off-season and attended the annual alumni baseball game that precedes each season. Ryan Finney, CSUN¹s sports information director, said Kennedy¹s collegiate performance unquestionably ranks him as CSUN¹s best baseball player.

To this day, Kennedy still holds a half dozen Matadors baseball career records, including batting average (.414), hits (337), doubles (63), triples (18), RBI (234) and sacrifice flies (11). He also holds a half dozen single-season CSUN records, including from 1997 batting average (.482), hits (134), runs (96), doubles (32) and RBI (99).

Chief Justice Ronald George, Professor Bruce Zucker, and State Bar President Karen Nobumoto. Business Law Professor Earns State Bar Service Award

Bruce Zucker Honored for Pro Bono Legal Work Helping Students, the Poor and Underprivileged

Cal State Northridge business law professor Bruce Zucker has been honored by the State Bar of California with its 2002 President's Pro Bono Service Award for his commitment to providing legal services to the underprivileged, prisoners and parolees.

Zucker was one of nine California attorneys and legal teams honored at the bar's annual meeting in Monterey on October 11. California Supreme Court Chief Justice Ronald George and State Bar President Karen Nobumoto presented the awards in nine categories, including Zucker's for government service.

"I didn't expect to get this award. The highest honor for me is the recognition I get from my students. But being acknowledged by my peers is a close second," said Zucker. "Often for things to change in communities, the only remedy is to hire legal representation, and access to justice for low-income people is just abysmal."

Zucker's award was based on the more than 150 hours of pro bono legal work he provided during the past year while also serving as a full-time CSUN faculty member. He founded and directs the university's Tenant Legal Clinic where CSUN students perform community service by helping low-income families with tenant/landlord issues.

Zucker attributed his nomination to a case he and 10 of his clinic students handled in which an elderly, low-income couple faced eviction because of clutter in their apartment. The professor and his students first

http://www.csun.edu/~hfoao102/@csun.edu/csun02-03/csun1021_02/law.html[6/4/2012 10:42:32 AM] @csun.edu

stepped in, cleaning up the home. Then when the landlord continued to pursue eviction, Zucker took the case to court and won the couple the right to stay in their home.

"I like the study of law more than the practice, and teaching gives me the flexibility to take cases that interest me," Zucker said. "When a case comes my way, I get so incensed that this stuff is happening and there is no one to correct it, so I have to get involved."

Zucker credited the university with encouraging community service work from its professors, in addition to their academic research, teaching and university service. Zucker said he tries to bring that experience back to his students through the service-learning classes he teaches.

Although they are not yet in law school, Zucker still gets his CSUN students quite involved doing research, trial briefs, discovery requests and interviewing clients. He also takes them to court for experience in the judicial process.

The professor, who keeps a copy of the U.S. Constitution in his pocket at all times, said, "It is important being a connection between the classroom and the world."

In addition to his teaching and CSUN tenant legal clinic work, Zucker also volunteers as supervising attorney for the Van Nuys Self-Help Legal Access Center. In that role, he enlisted 19 of his students to help translate and distribute foreign language flyers for clients needing court interpreters.

That type of service spurred the legal center, which is part of Neighborhood Legal Services of Los Angeles County, to nominate Zucker for his award. The Self-Help Legal Access Center of the Ventura County Superior Court also nominated Zucker for his work there as a judge pro tem in small claims court.

"Bruce Zucker's work demonstrates compassion for the forgotten members of our society, namely the poor and prisoners," said Tina Rasnow, coordinator of the Ventura County center. Among his pro bono cases, Zucker represents parolees in appeals of revocation hearing decisions.

"He believes in justice and that everyone, no matter his or her circumstances, is entitled to justice," Rasnow added. "Because of his work, families have been able to retain housing, prisoners have been able to get a fresh start after completing their just sentence, and students have had the opportunity to learn the value of helping others."

The bar association's Pro Bono Service Awards are presented each year to California attorneys and law firms credited with contributing a significant amount of time and legal expertise in helping the poor.

Zucker earned his bachelor's degree from UCLA and his law degree from Loyola Law School in Los Angeles. He joined the CSUN faculty in 1996. He teaches real estate law and finance in the university's College of Business and Economics.
