Kennedy on A&M Short List HIGH SCHOOL TENNIS: First Region tournament gets under way with a first-round upset. | 5B The PaducahSports Sun | Sunday, May 15, 2011 | paducahsun.com Section B Hounds start according to plan Kennedy on A&M short list BY JOEY FOSKO [email protected] For Murray State basketball fans, Texas A&M may pose the biggest threat yet to lure away coach Billy Ken- nedy. “They are interested in (Kennedy), and he’s inter- viewed for the job,” Murray athletic director Allan Ward said Saturday night. “Given the timing of it, I would think they want to move very quickly, but that’s just speculation on my part. There’s really not much more I can say about it.” Kennedy didn’t return a message left on his cell- phone. Unlike Wyoming, a school that Kennedy reportedly had discussions with earlier this spring, Texas A&M would present an opportunity to coach in one of the game’s power conferences (the Big 12) and is reasonably close geo- graphically to part of his staff’s re- cruiting base.

  • SENIOR SOFTBALL SNIPPETS Vic Zoldy Implored Us to Have Fun
    MORE SENIOR SOFTBALL SNIPPETS Vic Zoldy implored us to have fun playing softball in this league. There is no better medicine in life than laughter. If we can’t laugh at ourselves playing softball as if we were still kids, then it isn’t fun. Here are some of our favorite lighter moments from the league’s history that makes us all laugh. 1. Senior Softball Snippet: The enraptured pitcher… Al Hessy’s reputation as a ladies man was legendary. Al always had his cell phone handy and was always talking to the ladies, even during the games. Focusing on softball doesn’t always avert senior moments. Al once took the mound but forgot to put on his pants. But what the hell, Al pitched anyway wearing only his long johns, complete with button-ups to cover up his butt. The game must go on. The league was co-ed at the time. 2. Senior Softball Snippet: Senior moment events even take place during batting practice. Ted Wiekowski had a classic one. Backing up trying to catch a popup near first base, Ted missed it and fell down. Ted was still on the ground with his butt facing home plate as the next ball was being pitched. Manny London put the next pitch square in the middle of Ted’s butt. Manny, of course, denies that Ted’s butt was the target he was aiming for and said he was just going with the pitch. Manny has never let Ted forget it, though. 3. Senior Softball Snippet: Angelo Malizia used to give career and romance advice to kids who played on his teams over the years.

  • Assumption of Risk in Sports
    Assumption of Risk in Sports Assumption of Risk In New York State, when a person chooses to engage in or attend a sport or recreational activity, that individual “consents to those commonly appreciated risks which are inherent in and arise out of the nature of the sport generally and flow from such participation.” Fenty v. Seven Meadows Farms, Inc., No. 2012-05234, Slip op. at 1 (2d Dept 2013). The Assumption of Risk doctrine has traditionally been invoked by baseball teams when defending themselves from liability for fan injuries during games. It has been referred to as the “Baseball Rule.” It is common practice for teams to include boilerplate exculpatory language on their tickets that fans assume the inherent dangers of the sport when attending a game. Many lawsuits by fans throughout the years have been unsuccessful because of this affirmative defense. Lately, however, this doctrine is starting to be challenged, especially in the modern context of baseball and foul balls. New stadium designs have brought fans closer to the action, thus increasing the danger of being struck by errant foul balls. The game itself has also changed with the greater physicality and strength of the athletes resulting in harder hit balls. A. Assuming Risk when Applied to Recreational Activities Court of Appeals Bukowski v Clarkson Univ., 19 N.Y.3d 353, 948 N.Y.S.2d 568 (2012). A baseball player brought an action against Clarkson University after being hit by a line drive during an indoor practice . The plaintiff was an experienced baseball player and understood the risks that the game posed, especially on a pitcher, with it being common occurrences that line drives can cause injuries to pitchers.

    A’s News Clips, Wednesday, January 18, 2012 Brandon McCarthy, Joey Devine accept A's deals San Francisco Chronicle The A's avoided arbitration by agreeing to one-year contracts with right-handers Brandon McCarthy and Joey Devine, the team announced Tuesday. McCarthy, who made a career-high 25 starts and had a career best 3.32 ERA last season, will earn $4.275 million in 2012. Devine, a candidate for the closer job, will earn $737,000. The deal includes incentives that could take its total value to $1.1 million based on games pitched and games finished. They were the final two arbitration-eligible players on the A's roster. - Susan Slusser Martinez injured: Tigers designated hitter Victor Martinez has injured his left knee and is likely to miss most of the 2012 season. The Tigers said Martinez tore his left ACL last week during offseason conditioning. An MRI exam Monday in Lakeland, Fla., revealed the injury. The team said he will be re-examined next week and surgery is expected. Martinez hit .330 with 103 RBIs last season in helping Detroit win the AL Central. Brewers add Aoki: The Milwaukee Brewers have signed Japanese outfielder Norichika Aoki to a two-year deal with a club option for 2014. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, but Brewers general manager Doug Melvin said it contains a "fair amount" of incentives. Aoki's team, the Tokyo Yakult Swallows, accepted the Brewers' bid of $2.5 million under the posting system in December. The Brewers had until 2 p.m.
