These tips can help you stay safe. Wear appropriate shoes — Properly fitting, sturdy footwear with nonskid soles will provide good traction in all types of weather. Dress warmly — When you are cold, your muscles tense up, which can affect your balance. Wearing warm layers during cool weather can relax your muscles, keeping you steady. Pay attention — When walking, focus on the path ahead and look for any obstacles or slippery surfaces. Scan the surroundings using your eyes only; moving your head to look down or around may throw off your balance. Use assistive devices — Handrails, walkers and canes are designed to keep you safe, so use them whenever possible. Keep your hands free — Carrying bags or packages can cause unsteadiness. Try to keep your load light, or ask for assistance. Take care around vehicles — When getting in and out of a car or bus, take it slow and make sure your footing is secure before moving. Wipe your feet — Leaves, mud, ice and snow can stick to the bottoms of your shoes and get tracked indoors.

    Postseason Recaps, Line Scores, Stats & Records World Champions 1955 World Champions For the Brooklyn Dodgers, the 1955 World Series was not just a chance to win a championship, but an opportunity to avenge five previous World Series failures at the hands of their chief rivals, the New York Yankees. Even with their ace Don Newcombe on the mound, the Dodgers seemed to be doomed from the start, as three Yankee home runs set back Newcombe and the rest of the team in their opening 6-5 loss. Game 2 had the same result, as New York's southpaw Tommy Byrne held Brooklyn to five hits in a 4-2 victory. With the Series heading back to Brooklyn, Johnny Podres was given the start for Game 3. The Dodger lefty stymied the Yankees' offense over the first seven innings by allowing one run on four hits en route to an 8-3 victory. Podres gave the Dodger faithful a hint as to what lay ahead in the series with his complete-game, six-strikeout performance. Game 4 at Ebbets Field turned out to be an all-out slugfest. After falling behind early, 3-1, the Dodgers used the long ball to knot up the series. Future Hall of Famers Roy Campanella and Duke Snider each homered and Gil Hodges collected three of the club’s 14 hits, including a home run in the 8-5 triumph. Snider's third and fourth home runs of the Series provided the support needed for rookie Roger Craig and the Dodgers took Game 5 by a score of 5-3.

  • Join the Team Fighting Cancer One Home Run at a Time! the Quest to Cure Cancer
    JUNE 11-21, 2009 VOLUME NO. 14 “ F RO M COA S T TO COA S T ” 14TH SEASON 1996-2009 Join the team FIGHTING CANCER one home run at a time! THE QUEST TO CURE CANCER Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan famously said, “A beautiful thing about baseball is that every once in a while, you come into a situation where you want to, and where you have to, reach down and prove something.” That’s the situation cancer researchers face every day—they want to prove that cancer can be beaten. Thanks in part to your support, they’re making great progress in doing just that. Since 1993, the Prostate Cancer Foundation has accelerated development of more effective treatments, expanded our understanding of how cells become cancerous, produced new insights into areas like nutrition, and raised awareness of preventive activities. Most importantly, fewer men are PCF dying—as much as 50% below projections made in the 1990s. Mike Milken - Founder & Chairman By raising nearly $400 million directly, and guiding another $10 billion in funding from others—industry, government, philanthropists, people like you—the PCF has “Kept Dad in the Game.” More than 80 percent of prostate-cancer research leaders have been supported by the PCF, and a majority of drugs currently in the pipeline have our imprint on them. But as more men live longer, more will be diagnosed—this year alone, 192,000 more. So we must continue to support these remarkable researchers. This is the PCF Home Run Challenge’s 14th season—a partnership with Major League Baseball (MLB), its players, managers Jonathan Simons - President and CEOPCF and teams, as well as prominent sponsors, who raise awareness about prostate cancer worldwide and generate millions of dollars for crucial research.
