Alvarez played for the Bayside Yan- kees for three years (2003-05), where he helped the Yankees win the 2005 NABF 18U Senior World Championship in Jack- son, Mississippi in 2005.

Alvarez was a 2005 graduate of Hor- ace Mann High School in Riverdale, NY. He also was a three-time All American at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennes- see and played for Team USA in 2006 and 2007.

  • Peter Gammons: the Cleveland Indians, Best Run Team in Professional Sports March 5, 2018 by Peter Gammons 7 Comments PHOENIX—T
    Peter Gammons: The Cleveland Indians, best run team in professional sports March 5, 2018 by Peter Gammons 7 Comments PHOENIX—The Cleveland Indians have won 454 games the last five years, 22 more than the runner-up Boston Red Sox. In those years, the Indians spent $414M less in payroll than Boston, which at the start speaks volumes about how well the Indians have been run. Two years ago, they got to the tenth inning of an incredible World Series game 7, in a rain delay. Last October they lost an agonizing 5th game of the ALDS to the Yankees, with Corey Kluber, the best pitcher in the American League hurt. They had a 22 game winning streak that ran until September 15, their +254 run differential was 56 runs better than the next best American League team (Houston), they won 102 games, they led the league in earned run average, their starters were 81-38 and they had four players hit between 29 and 38 homers, including 29 apiece from the left side of their infield, Francisco Lindor and Jose Ramirez. And they even drew 2.05M (22nd in MLB) to the ballpark formerly known as The Jake, the only time in this five year run they drew more than 1.6M or were higher than 28th in the majors. That is the reality they live with. One could argue that in terms of talent and human player development, the growth of young front office talent (6 current general managers and three club presidents), they are presently the best run organization in the sport, especially given their financial restraints.

  • Baseball Fans Back Lifetime Ban of Pete Rose by 56-42 Percent
    The Harris Poll For release: Sunday AM, September 3, 1989 1989 137 ISSN 0895-7983 BASEBALL FANS BACK LIFETIME BAN OF PETE ROSE BY 56-42 PERCENT By Louis Harris Both baseball fans and the general public endorse Cmissioner A. Bartlett Giamatti's decision to ban Pete Rose from baseball for life. Baseball fans support the Comnissioner's action by 56-42 percent, while the entire public backs his action by a slightly closer 52-41 percent according to this Harris Poll, taken by telephone, between August 25th and 29th among a representative cross section of 1,250 adults nationwide, including 884 baseball fans. while these results show a sizable minority who would not have taken such drastic action, they represent a dramatic change of heart on the part of both the public and baseball fans from last March when the charges against the former Cincinnati Reds manager were first made. Back then, a solid 55 percent majority would have simply had the Comissioner take him to task for betting on baseball, but then would have "given [him] another chance." Now the fans believe Commissioner Giamatti was right by a 14 point margin. The reasons are evident from this special Harris Sports Survey: -- An 84 percent majority of baseball fans are convinced that Rose was guilty of betting on baseball games. Such an infraction of baseball's rules could bring him an automatic suspension from the game for one year. -- A 68-22 percent majority of baseball fans are also convinced that Rose was guilty of betting on his own team, the Reds.

  • ENERGY STAR Success Story: Great American Ball Park, Cincinnati Reds
    ENERGY STAR Success Story: Great American Ball Park, Cincinnati Reds Located on the winding banks of the Ohio River in downtown Cincinnati, the Great American Ball Park is home to the Cincinnati Reds, baseball's first professional franchise. The ballpark, built next door to the Reds’ former home, Riverfront Stadium, officially opened for the 2003 season. Equally as enthusiastic as their hometown fans, the ballpark’s management team continues to improve the ballpark’s energy performance and is a leader among stadiums nationwide. Energy Management with ENERGY STAR The Cincinnati Reds were one of the first Major League Baseball teams to join ENERGY STAR as a partner in 2008 and use ENERGY STAR resources to track energy usage, improve energy performance, and communicate their efforts to staff and the public. Improving energy performance is an important environmental strategy for the Reds and they have received kudos from local officials and enhanced loyalty from fans for leading by example. The ballpark operations management team benchmarks the ballpark’s energy performance using the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Portfolio Manager, an online energy tool to track whole-building energy intensity and greenhouse gas emissions. By inputting historical energy data going back to 2007, and ongoing monthly energy consumption and cost information, the Reds are able to measure progress and quantify improvements. To date, the ballpark’s energy intensity is 27 percent better than the national average for entertainment buildings1, even with an off-season construction project during the winter of 2009. As part of their energy management plan, the ballpark’s building operations management team implemented several energy conservation measures and integrated energy efficient technologies into the ballpark’s infrastructure.

    Title: Trouble on the T-Ball Team (Lexile® measure: 190L) Author: Eve Bunting ISBN: 9780395660607 Description: Linda feels left out as the only one on her first-grade T-ball team who hasn’t lost a tooth. Use ordinal numbers first through tenth (Quantile® measure: 200Q) After reading the book with your child, use baseball as a way to discuss order. Use the baseball field to show first, second, and third bases. Discuss how many teeth your child has lost and try to recall which tooth was first, second, third, etc. If your child has not lost any teeth, have your child guess which tooth will be lost first, second, third, and so on. Discuss other things your child does in a specific order. What is the first thing your child does in the morning? What is second? What is third? What is the first thing your child does at school? What is the order of your child’s classes? Which comes first, math class or recess? Other baseball terms can be useful for discussing order. The batting lineup and the sequence of innings can both be used to discuss ordinal numbers. The leadoff hitter is the batter who comes to bat first in each inning. The cleanup hitter in the lineup is the fourth batter. The last batter in the lineup is the ninth batter. There are nine innings in a baseball game. During the seventh inning, there is a break called the seventh inning stretch. .

Pratt, Committee Chair Dr. Stephanie Pangborn Dr. Darren Linvill ABSTRACT The current study aims to explore new avenues of fan studies and family communication research. Current research in both disciplines does not address in-depth how individuals become fans of certain sports teams and how family can play a role in the development of fandom. Communication scholars have explained that family legacies and stories are passed down through narratives, also known as family storytelling. Studies show that individuals come to know themselves and the world through family stories that have been passed down from generation to generation.
