Lee Build Background Talk about major league baseball teams. Build interest by asking questions such as the following: Does anyone in your family have a favorite team? What is the name of the stadium where that team plays? Read the title and author. Tell children that this story is realistic fi ction—it could happen in real life, but the author made it up. Front-Load Vocabulary Some everyday words may be unfamiliar to English learners. Before reading, check understanding of the following words: Grandpa, close, favorite, exciting, score, missed. Introduce the Text Guide students through the text, noting important ideas, and helping with unfamiliar language and vocabulary so they can read the text successfully. Call their attention to any important labels. Here are some suggestions: Page 2: Tell children that this story is about a boy named Evan and his grandfather, who are both big baseball fans. Read the labels. Suggested language: Turn to page 2 of this book. Evan’s grandfather has just read in the newspaper that his favorite baseball park, Shea Stadium, is going to be closed. How does Grandpa probably feel about that? Page 4: Call attention to the illustration. Grandpa asks Evan if he wants to watch a game at Shea Stadium before it closes. What do you think Evan’s answer is? Page 5: Point out the labels. Explain that in this picture, Grandpa and Evan are watching a team practice. Sometimes, the score is tied at the end of the game. Then the players spend extra time trying to win. Why might fans like to see a game that was extra long? Page 9: Call attention to the illustration and point out the players running around the bases. Grandpa and Evan roared and cheered. What can happen during a baseball game that gets fans so excited that they make loud noises? Now turn back to the beginning of the book and read about the different ballparks where Grandpa and Evan watch baseball games. Target Vocabulary cheered – shouted in happiness fi nal – last or at the end, p. 9 practice – do an activity many and excitement, p. 5 hurried – tried to fi nish times to get better at it, p. 5 curb – the place where the something or get somewhere roared – made a loud, deep sidewalk meets the edge of the quickly, p. 5 noise, p. 9 road, p. 6 position – the way in which a extra – more than what is usual person is placed, p. 9 or needed, p. 5 Grade 2 2 Lesson 17: The Summer of Baseball Parks © Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company 22_304359_ELL_LRTG_L17_BaseBallParks.indd_304359_ELL_LRTG_L17_BaseBallParks.indd 2 77/30/09/30/09 99:45:51:45:51 AAMM Read Have children read The Summer of Baseball Parks silently while you listen to individual children read. Support their problem solving and fl uency as needed. Remind children to use the Visualize Strategy to picture what is happening as they read. Discuss and Revisit the Text Personal Response Invite children to share their personal responses to the story. Suggested language: Which ballpark in this story would you want to visit? Who would you like to take with you to the ballpark? Ways of Thinking As you discuss the text, help children understand these points: Thinking Within the Text Thinking Beyond the Text Thinking About the Text • Grandpa and Evan see the Mets • Fans love their teams and the • The author included facts about play at Shea Stadium. ballparks their teams play in. baseball teams and stadiums in a fi ction story. • They take a summer trip to other • Different cities have famous old ballparks—Fenway Park ballparks. • The author chose to write in Boston and Wrigley Field in about games that were • Grandparents do special things Chicago. especially exciting. for their grandchildren. • They return home to plan next summer’s trip to new ballparks. © 2006. Fountas, I.C. & Pinnell, G.S. Teaching for Comprehending and Fluency, Heinemann, Portsmouth, N.H. Choices for Further Support • Fluency Invite children to choose a passage from the text to read aloud. Remind them to show the characters’ feelings as they read what the characters say. • Comprehension Based on your observations of the children’s reading and discussion, revisit parts of the text to clarify or extend comprehension. Remind children to go back to the text to support their ideas. • Phonics/Word Work Provide practice as needed with words and word parts, using examples from the text. Remind children that looking for smaller words in a compound word is one way to fi gure out a longer word. Have children reread the second paragraph on page 10 to fi nd two compound words, write them, and use a dividing line to show the two words in each compound word (out/side, roof/tops). Grade 2 3 Lesson 17: The Summer of Baseball Parks © Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company 2_304359_ELL_LRTG_L17_BaseBallParks.indd 3 12/21/09 7:26:55 PM Writing about Reading Critical Thinking Have children complete the Critical Thinking questions on BLM 17.10. Responding Have children complete the activities at the back of the book. Use the instruction below as needed to reinforce or extend understanding of the comprehension skill. Target Comprehension Skill Sequence of Events Tell children that the events in a story happen in a certain time order, or sequence. Readers think about the sequence of events to understand what happens fi rst, next, and after that. Model the skill, using a “Think Aloud” like the one below: Think Aloud I can use the words fi rst, next, and then to sum up what happens on page 5 of the book. First, Evan and Grandpa arrive at Shea Stadium. Next, they watch the Mets practice. Then they watch the Mets win the game. Practice the Skill Have children fi nd and list three events that happen on page 6, in the correct sequence. Writing Prompt: Thinking Beyond the Text Have children write a response to the prompt on page 6. Remind them that when they think beyond the text, they use what they know and their own experience to think about what happens in the story. Assessment Prompts • On page 9, what word helps you understand the meaning of the word fi nal? • What will Grandpa and Evan probably do next summer?

  • Dodgers and Giants Move to the West: Causes and Effects an Honors Thesis (HONRS 499) by Nick Tabacca Dr. Tony Edmonds Ball State
    Dodgers and Giants Move to the West: Causes and Effects An Honors Thesis (HONRS 499) By Nick Tabacca Dr. Tony Edmonds Ball State University Muncie, Indiana May 2004 May 8, 2004 Abstract The history of baseball in the United States during the twentieth century in many ways mirrors the history of our nation in general. When the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants left New York for California in 1957, it had very interesting repercussions for New York. The vacancy left by these two storied baseball franchises only spurred on the reason why they left. Urban decay and an exodus of middle class baseball fans from the city, along with the increasing popularity of television, were the underlying causes of the Giants' and Dodgers' departure. In the end, especially in the case of Brooklyn, which was very attached to its team, these processes of urban decay and exodus were only sped up when professional baseball was no longer a uniting force in a very diverse area. New York's urban demographic could no longer support three baseball teams, and California was an excellent option for the Dodger and Giant owners. It offered large cities that were hungry for major league baseball, so hungry that they would meet the requirements that Giants' and Dodgers' owners Horace Stoneham and Walter O'Malley had asked for in New York. These included condemnation of land for new stadium sites and some city government subsidization for the Giants in actually building the stadium. Overall, this research shows the very real impact that sports has on its city and the impact a city has on its sports.

  • Math Worksheets
    MATH WORKSHEETS High School: Read and answer questions 1. The Rockies’ revenue comes from ticket sales, concessions, parking, TV and radio contracts, as well as other sources. The Rockies’ greatest expense is player salaries. In 2019, the Rockies are expected to have an estimated payroll of $145.9 million. In 2018, the Rockies sold 3,015,880 tickets at an average price of about $26 per ticket, for a total ticket revenue of $78,412,880. This means ticket revenue in 2018 was enough to pay for about 53.7% of 2019 player salaries. In 2020, the Rockies estimated payroll is expected to rise to $177.3 million. To help pay for this, the team would like to see if they can generate more revenue through ticket sales. After studying the effects of raising ticket prices, the Rockies estimate that for every $1 decrease in average ticket price, they would sell 100,000 additional tickets in a year. Likewise, for every $1 increase in average ticket price, they would sell 100,000 fewer tickets in a year. The team calculates ticket revenue with the following model: ticket revenue = (number of tickets sold)(price per ticket) Let x = the change in average ticket price, in dollars. Refine the Rockies’ model by defining the number of tickets sold as 3,015,880 tickets minus the estimated decrease in ticket sales per dollar of average ticket price increase, and define the price per ticket as $26 plus the increase in average ticket price. With your refined model, what change in average ticket price results in the maximum increase in ticket revenue? Is the increased ticket revenue enough to keep paying for 53.7% of player salaries in 2020? What other factors influence ticket sales and how might you include them to further refine the ticket revenue model? 2021 MATH DAY MATH WORKSHEETS 2.

Thank you. A Summer Wildfire: How the greatest debut in baseball history peaked and dwindled over the course of three months by Colin Thomas Reynolds, M.A. The University of Texas at Austin, 2011 SUPERVISORS: Tracy Dahlby & Bill Minutaglio The narrative itself is an ageless one, a fundamental Shakespearean tragedy in its progression. A young man is deemed invaluable and exalted by the public. The hero is cast into the spotlight and bestowed with insurmountable expectations. But the acclamations and pressures are burdensome and the invented savior fails to fulfill the prospects once imagined by the public. He is cast aside, disregarded as a symbol of failure or one deserving of pity. It’s the quintessential tragedy of a fallen hero. The protagonist of this report is Washington Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg, who enjoyed a phenomenal rookie season before it ended abruptly due to a severe elbow injury.

  • An Analysis of the American Outdoor Sport Facility: Developing an Ideal Type on the Evolution of Professional Baseball and Football Structures
    AN ANALYSIS OF THE AMERICAN OUTDOOR SPORT FACILITY: DEVELOPING AN IDEAL TYPE ON THE EVOLUTION OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL AND FOOTBALL STRUCTURES DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Chad S. Seifried, B.S., M.Ed. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Donna Pastore, Advisor Professor Melvin Adelman _________________________________ Professor Janet Fink Advisor College of Education Copyright by Chad Seifried 2005 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to analyze the physical layout of the American baseball and football professional sport facility from 1850 to present and design an ideal-type appropriate for its evolution. Specifically, this study attempts to establish a logical expansion and adaptation of Bale’s Four-Stage Ideal-type on the Evolution of the Modern English Soccer Stadium appropriate for the history of professional baseball and football and that predicts future changes in American sport facilities. In essence, it is the author’s intention to provide a more coherent and comprehensive account of the evolving professional baseball and football sport facility and where it appears to be headed. This investigation concludes eight stages exist concerning the evolution of the professional baseball and football sport facility. Stages one through four primarily appeared before the beginning of the 20th century and existed as temporary structures which were small and cheaply built. Stages five and six materialize as the first permanent professional baseball and football facilities. Stage seven surfaces as a multi-purpose facility which attempted to accommodate both professional football and baseball equally.

  • Presidents and Baseball in Dc
    TEAM UP JANUARY TOUCH BASE 2021 PRESIDENTS AND BASEBALL IN DC Across the country, Opening Day marks the beginning of a new Major League Baseball season. In Washington, DC, Opening Day is truly unique because it often makes history. Major League Baseball’s ceremonial first pitch goes back to April 14, 1910. William Howard Taft, the 27th president of the United States, attended the home opener of the Washington Senators against the Philadelphia Athletics. A sold out crowd of 12,226 fans—the largest baseball crowd in Washington at that time—gave President Taft a standing ovation as he made his way to his seats along the first-base line. Just prior to the start of the game, umpire Billy Evans walked over to President Taft’s box and presented him with a new baseball. Evans instructed President Taft that he was to throw the ball from his seat in the stands to Senators pitcher Walter Johnson to officially start the season. With Taft’s on-target throw, the ceremonial first pitch was born. The president watched the whole game, a 3-0 Washington win in which Johnson threw a one-hit, complete-game shutout. From 1910 through 1972, when the Washington Senators left for Texas, 11 presidents threw a ceremonial first pitch 45 times on Opening Day, or at the team’s home opener if they began the season on the road. In those games the Senators won 23 and lost 22. Prior to the Senators move, every president since Taft was in attendance for a Washington Senators home opener at least once.

  • Washington, Dc and the Mlb All-Star Game
    TEAM UP FEBRUARY TOUCH BASE 2021 WASHINGTON, DC AND THE MLB ALL-STAR GAME The Major League Baseball All-Star Game is also known as the “Midsummer Classic.” The game features the best players in the National League (NL) playing against the best players in the American League (AL). Fans choose the starting lineups; and a combination of players, coaches, and managers choose the rest of the players on the All-Star rosters. The game is played every year, usually on the second or third Tuesday in July. The very first All-Star Game was on July 6, 1933, at the home of the Chicago White Sox. Only two times since then has the game not been played — in 1945 due to World War II travel restrictions, and 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. Nationals Park and Washington, DC were at the center of the baseball universe in July 2018, serving as host of the 89th Major League Baseball All-Star Game. Remember all those festivities? This may come as a surprise, but that was actually the fifth time the All-Star Game was played in DC. Here is a little bit about each of the All-Star Games played in the Nation’s Capital. JULY 7, 1937 The 1937 Midsummer Classic, which was the fifth Major League Baseball All-Star Game, was played on July 7, at Griffith Stadium. President Franklin D. Roosevelt was in attendance, making this the first All-Star Game to be played in front of a current President. The American League won the game 8-3, improving to 4 wins and 1 loss in the five games.
